That's unfortunate

I seem to remember him playing better than JGW when he did play.

I don’t get the Cole Beck hate.
GCHokieof91 • 08/21/23 08:05 AM ET
No hate just the folks who complain about the coaches not using him
HokiesACC2004 • 08/22/23 05:08 AM ET
Not sure the previous staff did all they could with his talent, and that
techer1983 • 08/21/23 05:08 PM ET
I think he was hurt (broken collar bone) the one year he was on the team.**
Chris ColemanAdmin • 08/21/23 10:13 PM ET
CJF made CB choose just like he did Hudson so they chose
blockh • 08/21/23 05:48 PM ET
Hate? I see him as being worshipped too much. Fastest to ever play for us**
Lizardhokie • 08/21/23 04:34 PM ET
Cole Beck is the fastest man in the ACC
Zanderhokie • 08/21/23 12:06 PM ET
Bullet Bob Hayes had a nice NFL career**
TomTurkey • 08/21/23 01:41 PM ET
as did Skeets Nehemia, who never played college FB
Vienna_Hokie • 08/21/23 09:25 PM ET
You don't get it because it doesn't exist.**
NokieHokie • 08/21/23 10:10 AM ET
I think we have been rooting for the guy
likehokies • 08/21/23 09:45 AM ET
You're trying way to hard if you think hatred is directed at him.
Stork • 08/21/23 09:31 AM ET
Yeah, it was a bit much during his recruitment
TekkNerd • 08/21/23 11:30 AM ET
Agree but I get it. When you come from a small town and smaller high
uber hokie • 08/22/23 09:24 PM ET
Pitt, UVa, UNC, L'ville were his other P5 official offers, as in got the
blockh • 08/22/23 04:01 PM ET
Nah, if you are involved with, not played because well CB didn't play..
Brewing_Hokie • 08/21/23 12:02 PM ET
Pitt wanted him as running back
tallahasseehokie • 08/21/23 11:57 AM ET
Pitt offered 18 running backs that year.
Chris ColemanAdmin • 08/21/23 10:18 PM ET
Wish we had a way of seeing "Official" offers on recruits **
blockh • 08/22/23 07:52 AM ET
He was on football scholly. Which Fu didn't offer until signing day, IIRC.**
NokieHokie • 08/21/23 11:55 AM ET
Yeah, decent point, but
GCHokieof91 • 08/21/23 09:39 AM ET
I don't think there's really Cole Beck hate
Pylons • 08/21/23 09:14 AM ET
Same folks who made Jake Johnson into the next Clay Matthews based on a
HokieBrazil • 08/21/23 08:59 AM ET
It's not him personally, but the cult nature of some of the warriors
Mercury • 08/21/23 08:53 AM ET
gunner is a big deal for field position
frankyfrankerson • 08/20/23 09:40 PM ET
Absolutely. Speed still kills and can’t be coached..**
SCHokie1103 • 08/21/23 01:36 AM ET
Speed is useless if he doesn’t get the ball in his hands. **
Hokie`79 • 08/21/23 06:55 AM ET
Soooo...you don't know what a gunner is then, I guess. **
Pride_and_Joy • 08/21/23 01:01 PM ET
You have no clue. Read below and Will Stewart’s post for your rebuttal. **
SCHokie1103 • 08/21/23 09:52 AM ET
Gunner on the punt team is a very useful position.
Will StewartAdmin • 08/21/23 08:20 AM ET
I think Lockett got a dreaded Lisfranc injury.
HokieDelNorte • 08/21/23 02:41 PM ET
Oooh, I sold him/them short. 2011 was even better.
Will StewartAdmin • 08/21/23 02:41 PM ET
How'd we do in 2022? Hokiesports site seems to show <3 yds/return?**
blockh • 08/21/23 02:51 PM ET
Tech allowed 36 punt return yards all year.
Chris ColemanAdmin • 08/21/23 10:14 PM ET
Agree on the short punts, hope for better this season **
blockh • 08/22/23 07:52 AM ET
It always pissed me off Bud played JGW in front of Tweedy**
jecvtmgr • 08/21/23 12:47 PM ET
My understanding is that Tweedy never fully grasped the defense.
Will StewartAdmin • 08/21/23 02:36 PM ET
That's unfortunate ◄
jecvtmgr • 08/21/23 09:08 PM ET
Wasn't Tweedy
T-Austin • 08/21/23 03:51 PM ET
Classic Tweedy.**
Will StewartAdmin • 08/21/23 07:03 PM ET
Yes...It was a big time athletic play.**
HokieJack • 08/21/23 06:36 PM ET
Bud's quote was "He runs like a "scalded dog"...." not a cat? **
Scream_On_D • 08/21/23 03:38 PM ET
Great post and pic Will.
GCHokieof91 • 08/21/23 09:48 AM ET
Yep. Rewatched that the other day. Dude came from nowhere to make that
Jbohokie63 • 08/21/23 11:12 AM ET
Speaking of Gunner, and SIR, I read that Givens broke wrist in scrimmage
tallahasseehokie • 08/21/23 01:06 AM ET
Say it isn’t so? Not good if true. **
SCHokie1103 • 08/21/23 01:37 AM ET
It's true. Probably having surgery.**
