So, I'm new to this whole Virginia Tech football thing and I have a few questions.
First, an explainer for those who are new to this Keyboard Quarterbacks thing: Before the season started, I renounced the Miami Hurricanes as my rooting interest, much the way Michael Corleone renounced the works of Satan in "The Godfather." Only, I didn't push a button on anyone while I did it.
I then asked the readers to pick the team I should root for this season. From the list of seven, they chose Virginia Tech by an overwhelming 67 percent. (Thankfully, they didn't choose Michigan. That could have been a problem.)
Now on to my questions that I hope Hokie Nation can answer for me:
1) Is Sean Glennon that average a quarterback? Or, did he have a subpar game? Or, worse, did he have a superb game?
2) Is there a better nickname in Hokie history than Victor "Macho" Harris?
3) Are Xavier Adibi and Vince Hall as nasty a linebacking tandem as the folks on TV made it appear?
4) Is the Hokies' offensive line always that suspect?
5) When is it acceptable during the LSU game to begin actively cheering for true freshman Tyrod Taylor to take over at quarterback for Glennon?
Hook a new Hokies fella up with some info before kickoff this weekend in Baton Rouge, please. Post a comment or email me at mark.lamonica@newsday.com

Answer to your questions.
1)That was a good game for SG..so yes he is just the ave. QB
2)Cool name but he better be good..
3)Hall and X are the best 2 LB's every at Tech..
4)Yes, with non-mobile QB's..I hate our O
5) TT needs to redshirt..
You are an amazing blogger!
1) that was an avg game for mr. glennon. he is not a playmaker and he needs the OL to really protect for him to play well.
2) not that i can think of but i only go back to 1990.
3) unquestionably. they are not perfect but who is? hall has zach thomas like instincts and x plays almost as well as derrick brooks did for fsu.
4) only the last 2 yrs, the future is bright (with very good prospects) but still a yr or 2 away.
5) this ? is a great way to divide the hokie nation into 2 bitter sides. i like TT and i think he should play this yr, but not this week. throwing him to a top 5 defense, with limited playbook knowledge and even more limited awareness of reading defenses will not be good for anyone i fear. we ride this game glennon and our shaky OL.
