In Drones defense & keeping the baseball analogy going…

If the pitcher was developed by a career first baseman at a critical juncture in his development, that would explain why his wind up starts with his glove hand fully extended and open towards home plate. Bowen and Pry failed Drones because neither was competent at their jobs. It was a pee wee league move to make a TE/OL coach the QB coach. That was the beginning of the end for me.

Folks, Franklin is coming...
VTshorty78 • 11/07/25 10:09 AM ET
My contact has confirmed as well. Booking it!**
HokiePokie95 • 11/07/25 06:49 PM ET
Is he hungry, though? "Eye of the tiger" stuff?
Riverguy • 11/07/25 06:31 PM ET
I'm sure he'll eat plenty well....
ChrisLords • 11/08/25 03:27 AM ET
Shorty..Love your info..Yep !!
JRHokie • 11/07/25 12:39 PM ET
What has "your friend" said recently....
VTshorty78 • 11/07/25 02:29 PM ET
FSU estimation of cost of firing & hiring at $100 million on their site...
Skipper64 • 11/07/25 08:37 PM ET
I think Norvell has kicked his team in the pants & will finish strong
Hokiefied • 11/07/25 04:20 PM ET
She says VT...but
JRHokie • 11/07/25 02:51 PM ET
No offense but who’s she? **
SCHokie1103 • 11/07/25 03:33 PM ET
Rather not say..but
JRHokie • 11/07/25 03:45 PM ET
I respect that JR. **
SCHokie1103 • 11/07/25 03:57 PM ET
I'd think something might leak from a recruit at a minimum.
likehokies • 11/07/25 11:52 AM ET
Fired 26 days ago. Tuesday, November 11th would be 30 days. Just saying.
VTizzle • 11/07/25 11:38 AM ET
But why does that matter?**
VaPoly07 • 11/07/25 11:48 AM ET
30-day transfer window. All PSU players can enter the transfer portal.
VTizzle • 11/07/25 11:55 AM ET
Not true ...
psuvatoo • 11/07/25 03:24 PM ET
Why would they need to enter the portal now? Just enter the portal in Jan.**
marcbvtgm • 11/07/25 01:05 PM ET
any PSU players entered the portal so far?**
NoHuddle • 11/07/25 11:58 AM ET
Yea, but only notable is 4-star TE Joey Schlaffer. That's it.**
VTizzle • 11/07/25 12:02 PM ET
Word is that Franklin will bring between 15 and 20 players with him.**
MidloHokie • 11/07/25 12:06 PM ET
if true, then i'm hoping 31+**
Windows NT • 11/07/25 01:09 PM ET
Word is? 15-20 players are not leaving PSU for VT.**
marcbvtgm • 11/07/25 01:08 PM ET
Not saying is it will happen but there's no reason it couldn't . . .
MidloHokie • 11/08/25 08:09 AM ET
That's what I'm talking about! **
King of Hokies • 11/07/25 12:49 PM ET
Well isn't this fun. We can just be PSU with Hokie jerseys. Couldn't we
Coach McGuirk • 11/07/25 12:18 PM ET
I root for the jerseys. Players come and go, just more often now.**
BG Hokie • 11/07/25 12:22 PM ET
if they are not in the portal before 11/11/25, all for naught?**
NoHuddle • 11/07/25 12:11 PM ET
Well, they play Indiana tomorrow. Blowout loss could push them out.
VTizzle • 11/07/25 12:14 PM ET
2020 PSU Indiana game:
NoHuddle • 11/07/25 12:32 PM ET
IU will find one thing that works, and they will run it into the ground.
reestuart • 11/07/25 12:35 PM ET
Hope you are right
extremehokie • 11/07/25 11:04 AM ET
Very true. Only time will tell. **
VTshorty78 • 11/07/25 11:05 AM ET
Would be wild to bring Hagans and AP and keep Mines**
Happy Dog • 11/07/25 10:44 AM ET
Mines will have the opportunity to stay.**
MidloHokie • 11/07/25 12:06 PM ET
Mines has done well recruiting for sure
Hokiefied • 11/07/25 10:52 AM ET
Mines has been a dismal failure at teaching them to catch the ball
likehokies • 11/07/25 11:56 AM ET
Hmmmm, might need Nike to design a new cleat so toes could be available
91HokieBob • 11/07/25 12:18 PM ET
i know right? the ankle drill**
Windows NT • 11/07/25 12:02 PM ET
The blocking effort by the WRs has been outstanding
Happy Dog • 11/07/25 11:00 AM ET
I credit the drops to the WRs being surprised the ball is catchable **
Hokiefied • 11/07/25 11:05 AM ET
Lol I would not discount that one bit - Drones has the yips
Happy Dog • 11/07/25 11:17 AM ET
I experienced that exact thing as a HS sophomore. It was horrible.
MP4VT2004 • 11/07/25 01:13 PM ET
Sorry to hear that for you.....there's been some research on the subject
Happy Dog • 11/07/25 01:25 PM ET

Fstalker • 11/07/25 01:40 PM ET

VTshorty78 • 11/07/25 11:20 AM ET
just close your eyes and imagine that it was 2 hr ago**
Windows NT • 11/07/25 11:58 AM ET
HA!**
VTshorty78 • 11/07/25 12:33 PM ET
It was a joke.**
IB4TECH • 11/07/25 11:50 AM ET
Can I borrow cuz’s
CMU Hokie • 11/07/25 11:17 AM ET
I see the problem, but I think a lot of guys wear a small print blue shirt
Fatman • 11/07/25 11:11 AM ET
after he signed, then you'll see him in a large check pattern maroon blazer**
Windows NT • 11/07/25 11:15 AM ET
IMO, if this is legit I’m far more energized by it than Franklin
Hokiefied • 11/07/25 11:02 AM ET
got a valid point and longer this goes on, less in love with Franklin I am**
extremehokie • 11/07/25 11:06 AM ET
Wait-that can’t be Chesney…
SayHeyKid • 11/07/25 11:02 AM ET
he's getting a major salary bump. he will be LOL **
Windows NT • 11/07/25 11:11 AM ET
Should have just taken a limo. Short drive.**
NoHuddle • 11/07/25 10:48 AM ET
VT has to roll out the carpet for our next HC**
Windows NT • 11/07/25 10:50 AM ET
Fair point. Liking what I’m seeing.
NoHuddle • 11/07/25 10:52 AM ET
What? Two random guys in front of a small plane? Who the hell is that?**
HOKIERIT • 11/07/25 10:44 AM ET

Thanks...I'm not living and breathing this, and if I was I still->
HOKIERIT • 11/07/25 10:48 AM ET
You can't just sit around and not talk to others.
VTshorty78 • 11/07/25 10:44 AM ET
They are interviewing other coaches for the VT HFBC position.
Midwestguy • 11/07/25 11:42 AM ET
Someone is lying
lager69 • 11/07/25 10:44 AM ET

lager69 • 11/07/25 10:51 AM ET
Can a fired coach reach out to recruits and former assistants
NoHuddle • 11/07/25 10:24 AM ET
From what I understand....
VTshorty78 • 11/07/25 11:02 AM ET
Good to know.
NoHuddle • 11/07/25 11:36 AM ET
And why do we care
1947Sunbowl • 11/07/25 10:50 AM ET
It’s a subtle question regarding the legitimacy of OP’s claim. **
NoHuddle • 11/07/25 10:55 AM ET
Losing 2 games in a row (after making Qtr-finals) doesn't constitute cause **
HOKIERIT • 11/07/25 10:46 AM ET
Losing games does not constitute cause for termination,regardless of number**
NoHuddle • 11/07/25 11:04 AM ET
If they are not an employee of an NCAA school they can contact all**
Happy Dog • 11/07/25 10:46 AM ET
Interesting.
NoHuddle • 11/07/25 10:59 AM ET
We will see. Not Shane or similar works for me so I’m not losing sleep.**
