According to former GC writer Clark Ruhland, the Hokies will be getting maroon pants, a constant criticism of the fan base for several years now since the Hokies stopped wearing the 2008 version of their Nike uniform in 2010. UPDATE: Clark announced via Twitter that these uniforms were a previous incarnation of the uniforms and that they displayed the outdated TV logo. So it looks like no maroon pants. :( DOUBLE UPDATE: Zach Mariner of the Collegiate Times reports that Virginia Tech Equipment Manager Lester Karlin says that they're "kicking the idea around" of maroon pants in 2013. He also says that if they do go with them, they'll resemble Nike artwork. So maybe maroon pants back on!?

Here is Chris Hatcher's Q&A with Timothy Tolman of The Saturday Edge about the Hokies wrap-up of spring football. In it, they discuss what looked good/bad about the team in the spring, assign grades to the positions and project sleeper players for fall.

The Hokies picked up their eighth commitment of the 2014 class today in Hylton High School Athlete Travon McMillian. He is listed as a 3-star by Rivals and a 4-star by 247Sports.

Virginia Tech will finally play the newest quazi-ACC member, Notre Dame, in 2016. The Hokies will be moving their 2016 home football game against ODU to 2017 to accommodate the schedule change. The Hokies will also playing Delaware at home that year on top of playing at Wisconsin & at ECU. For more on future scheduling endeavors, stay tuned to Gobbler Country, your #1 Virginia Tech sports source.

C.J. Reavis, a 4-star safety/athlete according to both Rivals.com and 247Sports, has committed to Virginia Tech at today's Spring Game. Reavis gives the Hokies six oral commitments in their 2014 class to date, though Marshawn Williams has opened his recruiting up. We'll have a more comprehensive look at him later, but for now, just bask in the commitment Hokie Nation!

Via BeamerBall.com, the Hokies have released images of their 2013 Military Appreciation helmets which will be worn on September 21 against Marshall. The helmets feature a maroon and orange digital camo pattern. The jerseys that will be worn with the helmets will apparently be white.
