Roanoke Times sportswriter and noted algroh-lover Doug Doughty recently pointed out that Georgia Tech didn’t seem to be paying a lot for its new Defensive Coordinator. Following an exhausting investigative report that involved reading the Atlanta paper, the intrepid Doughty read that that the Jackets would be paying algroh, recently algrohed as Hoo football coach, $150,000 [...]

It was certainly a busy week for ACC athletics. Between the silliness known as football recruiting coverage, the release of the 2010 schedule and the normal amounts of ACC basketball seen in February, area sports fans were hopping keeping track of it all. Maybe it was best that the snow kept people at home and [...]

Normally, the middle of January is when I finally get the bags unpacked from Tech’s bowl trip and begin to start paying a little more attention to basketball as played in the ACC and the rest of the country. Those that operate the football coaching wheel in the sky have put that off  a little. As [...]

The A-Line Board of Football Experts Well, that was fun. Virginia Tech’s 2009 football season ended where it had begun, in Atlanta’s Georgia Dome against an SEC team. From this Hokie point of view, the results were considerably more satisfying. As always is the case, the trip was great fun. Things got underway last Tuesday morning. I [...]

The A-Line Board of Football Experts After a rather pleasant weekend spent about as far away from thoughts of college football as could be imagined, it is now back to the grind.

Hoo football coach algroh was algrohed early Sunday, following what must have been one of the shortest program evaluations ever undertaken. The reign of the Great NFL Legend Poetry Reader [...]

The A-Line Board of Football Experts Well, there is little to be said about last Saturday’s game. Tech was supposed to win and did. Tech was supposed to win by a lot and did. The Hokies sent the seniors out in style, blasting an injury-riddled NC State team and coaching staff [be well, Dana Bible],  setting [...]

The A-Line Board of Football Experts Fear the Turtle? Well, not exactly. The Virginia Tech football team showed a distinct lack of fear of what passes for the team fielded by the Terps, scoring early and often en route to the pasting of the Terps. Tech showed none of the listlessness on display the previous week in [...]

Congratulations, Ivan! The A-Line Board of Football Experts Virginia Tech- East Carolina Tailgate pix at the Clubhouse Tailgate A win is a win is a win and Tech won. Considering how the second half of October had gone, it was nice to win again, finally. Style points don’t show up in the record. Virginia Tech ventured into the land [...]
