Familiar foe breeds friendly — or possibly unfriendly — trash talk in battle for Commonwealth Cup

After big game at BC, receiver Marcus Davis glad he could give detractors ‘something else to talk about’

Hokies should beat Cavs…but will they?
With a week of regular season remaining, Virginia Tech is out of ACC title contention, but if the Hokies hope for a postseason bowl bid - and all of those extra practices that come along with it - a win over intrastate rival Virginia next Saturday is a must. -

You’re looking LIVE … at the lobby of the Park Plaza Hotel in Boston, where I’m putting together this blog post. There’s a very ’60s feel to this place. Maybe it’s because of the Frank Sinatra music playing in the background. I half expect Don Draper to walk through the lobby. -
