The amazingly proud traveling Hokie fans racked up an amazing +2,024 fans per road trip for their hosts. This blew Clemson and Miami out of the water (+213 and +617, respectively).

Thought you guys might like to see that Virginia Tech helps draw big crowds on the road. Rest of post here if you're interested

Bill Burton, a White House spokesman, said Obama "of course condemns the crimes that Michael Vick was convicted of, but, as he's said previously, he does think that individuals who have paid for their crimes should have an opportunity to contribute to society again."

"According to the Associated Press, and citing a source familiar with the decision, the Sun Belt conference school fired Bustle following the conclusion of the Ragin’ Cajuns’ regular season Saturday. Athletic director David Walker plans to announce the dismissal on Monday."

"It didn't seem like very much went right. Bright spots include Freddie Ljungberg, who helped spark our offense. Hopefully we will be able bring him back next year. Discovering Sean Johnson was also a big plus, he looks set to become one of the top keepers in the league. We got positive contributions from other younger players, such as Calen Carr, Marco Pappa, Patrick Nyarko, and Steve Kinney."

"In the Miami game last year, (Virginia Tech) played like (its) hair was on fire," Steele said. "I expect to see Virginia Tech's A-plus-plus game. Can Boise beat that? I don't think so."

ZERKLE: Spencer, let me give you an example. This is something I found out about but never ran; I guess I can share it with everybody. [Laughter.] Not exactly breaking news here, but I was at a wedding in Cincinnati a couple years ago and I ran into a woman who had dated Shayne Graham, and she told me that every time Shayne Graham meets a woman he asks her if she's willing to sign a prenup.

KERI: The vast fortune of Shayne Graham! [Laughter]

ZERKLE: 970,000 dollars a year really goes quick. That by itself is really thin for a story, and I'm not going to be on the phone asking "did Shayne Graham ask you to sign a prenup?" It's more legwork and it's tough to put together a body of work, and then if you don't have enough to get a story… it's not a great use of my time, especially when I'm trying to do nine, ten posts a day.

"Few teams will face such a perfect storm in 2010: a new coach, new systems on both sides of the ball and the departure of many of last year’s contributors. I don’t think the first year of the Ruffin McNeill era will be a smooth one. In McNeill’s defense, I don’t think that even a Skip Holtz-led team would do more than merely compete for bowl eligibility in 2010."

"I like Eddie all over the place. Eddie's a unique receiver. Some guys are built for the slot, some guys are built for outside, and Eddie can really move around and do a lot of different things. I know Eddie does want to be a great slot receiver, he really does, and we talk about it every day. He's working on that and he's going to get there."

"Malcolm Delaney, who led the ACC in scoring in 2011, withdrew from the NBA draft, which means the Hokies return all five starters and 98.5 percent of their scoring. Florida transfer Allan Chaney, a Scout.com four-star forward as a high school senior in 2008, should complement Greenberg's deepest and most talented team. Greenberg can worry about fighting off Duke and North Carolina this season. Some other team else can worry about No. 69."
