Well, some things I just didn't know about related to the actual background of college football workings. A friend of mine told me many years ago that it is quite difficult for UVA (he is a UVA fan) to get even some of the good players because of required GPA. Now, keep in mind, that we are talking about this around 2004-2009. Yes, things have changed. To some degree, I get the deal with Miami. The stadium is 30-40 minutes away, it is private, blah, blah, blah. Not that Virginia Tech was ever the powerhouse that Nebraska was, but I feel the same way for the Huskers. Is it their location? Is it that they are in the B1G now? I get that VT is not in even the top 10 or 20 when considering "college football magnets". But the campus is nice, the stadium looks great, they have had past success. I just started keeping up with college football since 1998, so yes, during Beamer's ultimate successful seasons. Yes, Frank left. Bud Foster is gone. Heck, at one time, I was hoping they would go after Gus Malzahn. However, I never thought that Duke would have a better season (last year) in football than the Hokies. This year, is starting that way also. I thought the Bill Callahan years for the Huskers were rough, but lord. Stanford had a couple of double digit win seasons a few years ago. The Al Golden years at Miami weren't great either. Not even wanting to reach blue blood status because I know it would never happen, but at least a bowl game each year for the Hokies would be decent.
