Virginia Tech Football Player Collin Carroll: 'Do Away With Bowl Week'
Collin Carroll and his teammates on the Virginia Tech football team loved the free week in New Orleans they received as part of the run-up to the Sugar Bowl. It has been a weeklong vacation filled with complimentary meals, team outings and a generous per diem. That's why Carroll, the Hokies' long snapper, would prefer that college football did away with bowl week. "Whether or not...

The best two teams in the nation are about to square off for the National Championship. There is room for debate over Alabama’s inclusion in the title game; did Oklahoma State do enough to warrant a chance at the Tigers? Perhaps so, but from a pure football...

In Sugar Bowl loss and season, it’s the same old story for Virginia Tech.
When you’re Frank Beamer and Virginia Tech, the standards are different for you from the rest of the ACC. The Hokies have been the ACC’s top program since expansion. There is no debate about that… None. Again the Hokies won 10 or more games, and again the Hokies went to the ACC Title game. That’s 5 ACCCG appearances in 7 years, but here’s the part that...
