I’ve always been a follower of Clark Ruhland’s work over at cruhland.com, but this time his “wallpaper of the month” is newsworthy here on the Tyrod Taylor Fansite. His ‘shoppin skills get more amazing every time I meander over to his site. This month’s [apparently June’s…] wallpaper features a very well done Tyrod Taylor image on a grayscale, blurry in-game background. Click on the image below to check it out full size and download a copy for yourself.

His other noteworthy wallpaper addition is a close up of a VT jersey…a pretty sweet pic.

Keep a watch on his site as he usually creates a wallpaper design for each football game. They don’t disappoint.

Well…love em or hate em, you don’t have much choice in the matter.  In the picture we have Tyrod Taylor, Sean Glennon and Kam Chancellor (looking like a beast, and a force to be reckoned with) sporting the new design.  Beamerball.com has a few more pics.

The spring game was a rainy mess and somehow the football seemed to match it.  Of course everyone seemed to come away with mixed reviews and opinions of what they saw.  Some people were thrilled with the improvement in the running game, while others thought it was lackluster.  Some people saw Sean Glennon the conquering hero, while others saw that it takes a whole team to succeed.  All that the fans should really gather from the spring game is that we still have a lot of work to do before the fall and hopefully some incoming wide receivers will fill some huge holes on offense.

Tyrod Taylor really didn’t have an impressive day, turning in only mediocre numbers plus one pick.  But in truth Glennon didn’t look that much better.  Fans should take this game like the coaches do, as just one scrimmage out of spring practice where there are many scrimmages.  The rumblings on Hokie message boards (especially TechSideLine.com) seem to praise Glennon for his TD passes and no picks.  Responders are fast on the draw though explaining that Glennon threw the same style pick on Tuesday, Tyrod’s O-line held together worse than a stack of Lincoln Logs, and that Michael Vick turned in terrible spring game numbers in ‘99. (more…)

The leaky athletic department has given wind that Tyrod is supposedly 90-95% healthy. He’s running and walking okay and without much pain, so there is a decent chance that we’ll get to see him in the Spring Game. I’m sure the coaching staff wants to see it as much as the fans do.

Regardless of who gets the starting quarterback job in the fall, it will be great to see both quarterbacks in action this Saturday. Make sure you watch it if you can.

Spring Game
Saturday, April 19, 2008
Starting at approximately 2:00pm
Open to Public (no tickets needed)

Well, so far its not exactly the spring practice we were hoping for. Of course we know Tyrod has far more talent than Glennon, but also know that Glennon isn’t god awful when there isn’t any pressure (only when it matters). So of course, after much of spring practice, the Hokies find themselves in a tough spot. It would have been nice to come out of spring practice with a clear picture of who the starting quarterback would be in the fall…and hopefully it was Tyrod Taylor.

This has all changed now as Tyrod Taylor has sprained his foot and likely won’t compete in the Spring Game. Until the injury, Tyrod and Glennon were on even footing statistically (oh god that was the worlds worst pun), repeatedly throwing almost identical numbers, although according to the site I’ve listed below, Glennon threw two picks in the most recent duel. I for one and terribly disappointed not to see Tyrod play. (more…)

Aside from the worst officiating I’ve ever seen at a basketball game (an embarrassment to the NIT), the other news today is the beginning of spring football practice.

This spring brings a somewhat unusual challenge to the Virginia Tech sideline; filling holes from so many star Seniors. I caught you there didn’t I? You assume the most important question is who will start at quarterback in the fall. Unfortunately, the fact is that the defense lost several key players and will need some 2008 starters to fill some big shoes.

The biggest question mark appears the be in the line backing corps. Losing both Adibi and Hall, Tech’s tandem for several years, will be the biggest weakness that needs filled. The defensive tackle position is also looking for someone with big feet. After several years of defensive domination, the Hokies may need a less stagnant offense to rack up the wins. (more…)

We Hokies love our football. But what may be more entertaining than the Virginia Tech football season is the offseason, when our fans run out of things to do. Check out this video, featuring Tyrod Taylor, as an example of what I am talking about.

PS…wicked job kpersn84

This is an amazing video, created by VTim85. Its not short, but it IS amazing. This video seems to have been taken down or is otherwise not functional. I changed the link from filefront to a youtube video.

This is why Tyrod Taylor is great. This is why Tyrod Taylor should be our starting quarterback. This is why I made a Tyrod Taylor fansite. The video speaks for itself: Tyrod Taylor Mixtape

Go Hokies, thanks for an awesome mixtape HokieFan011
