Some Hokie Nuggets....

Happy Holidays all!

There hasn't been much to post since the game in Tampa, but there have been some developments in the past week or so. Instead of single entries, I will keep everything nice and tidy -

(1) Victor "Macho" Harris was named a First Team All-American by the Sporting News this past week. He was named a Second Team All-American earlier in the month. The most impressive stat is this keeps alive an impressive streak that Bud Foster has had an All-American named from his defense in the last 15 seasons that he has been coordinator or co-coordinator at VT. That's silly.

(2) In a matchup that has been in the works for months, it has finally been confirmed that VT will open the 2009 season in Atlanta to face Alabama. If both VT and Alabama win their BCS games, it is likely they will both be preseason top 10 teams. ESPN might hype this game just a little.

(3) Redshirt Freshman Darren Evans was named a First Team All-American to the freshman team. He was one of the lone bright spots on the offense this year and the first freshman at VT to rush for over 1000 yards.

More to come. Happy Holidays all!
