  How does FSU get to 7-2? And I'm definitely bearish on Bowen but winless in the ACC is unlikely. Probably looking at 1 or 2 wins.

  Whose prediction is this? We're a lot better than that. 8-4 4-4

  Hokies will surprise some folks this year. In a good way.

Indian River is in Chesapeake.

  Correct, but APR's hometown is listed as Portsmouth in his hokiesports.com bio and in his 247Sports.com recruiting profile.

    Yes. He originally went to Norcom, I believe, and transferred.

Interesting that he said it felt like an immediate brotherhood, and that he wasn’t used to that (I assume at florida). Good news as far as setting a winning culture

  Yeah, odd statement UF didn't provide "brotherhood"? Every college out promotes team brotherhood? But sure, maybe just one of those things where someone didn't get along with someone.

    "out there"

He looks a lot bigger than 242

11 days and a wake-up...GO HOKIES!!!

It's so hard to listen to the players and not be excited about the season. Let's get it started already!
