Virginia Tech tips off the 2009-10 basketball season in just over a week, and we still aren't sure what starting lineup Seth Greenberg will put on the court in the opener against Brown. Today we'll cover some possible Virginia Tech lineups for this season. Lineups could vary depending on matchups, and information coming out of practice is scarce right now. We'll also take a quick look at Virginia Tech's early season schedule.  more >>

Football Game Recap

Hokies Run Over Pirates 16-3

The Hokies got back to Virginia Tech football on Thursday night, controlling the line of scrimmage on both sides of the ball in a 16-3 win at East Carolina. Tech had over 200 yards of total offense at halftime, then spent the fourth quarter running out the clock. Ryan Williams finished with a career high 179 rushing yards, and with their sixth win of the year the Hokies are bowl eligible for the 17th consecutive season. Tech is now 6-3 on the season, and East Carolina dropped to 5-4.  more >>

Keys to the Game and Matchups to Watch: East Carolina

The Hokies travel to Greenville, NC to face the Pirates of East Carolina tonight in a critical game for both teams. Virginia Tech needs to turn around the two-game losing skid and regain the momentum lost in a once promising season, while ECU needs a big win over a major BCS team to increase its national presence. The Hokies, of course, will also have revenge in mind for last year's opening day loss. So what are the keys in this important Thursday night match-up?  more >>

Senior Season Update: E.L. Smiling

E.L. Smiling turned in a solid performance last season as a junior, hauling in 24 receptions for 391 yards and five touchdowns on the year. The 6-3, 185-pound Virginia Tech recruit has about 30 receptions in nine games in 2009, but he is also showing well on the defensive side of the ball.  more >>

Football Game Preview: #23 Virginia Tech at East Carolina

Presented by Kent Square Condominiums:
Virginia Tech is coming off two straight ACC losses, and now they must journey to Greenville to take on a tough ECU team on a Thursday night. This will be the biggest home game of the season for the Pirates. Their fans are excited, and their players have nothing to lose because it's not a conference game. Meanwhile, the Hokies have question marks on both sides of the football, and they might be suffering from some confidence issues. This is a scary game, if you're a Tech fan.  more >>

The 6-7 senior has never wavered in his commitment, but putting an official stamp on his decision will be an exciting moment.  more >>

UNC Game Analysis: Hokies Beaten on Both Sides of the Ball

I am an optimist, but it is difficult to find a lot of positives in that loss to UNC. The Hokies were beaten at the line of scrimmage on both sides of the ball. And the Tar Heels did it by beating Tech at their own game - they were more physical, they were tougher, and they were more consistent. The result was a surprising and rare Thursday night home loss to a team that had been winless in the ACC on the season. The Hokies need to get it figured out quickly because a once promising season now sits on the brink.  more >>
