All right, time to get back to some football talk … mostly. Columnist Aaron McFarling and I recorded another Virginia Tech podcast yesterday.

Naturally, we had to touch on the latest in the Michael Holmes case, but we also talk about the realities/annoyances of having anonymous comments on the blog. We transition to some actual football too, getting to the Hokies’ spring game and a few players who made a move in the last month, before finishing with some NFL Draft talk. I think it runs about 18 minutes.

After a long hiatus, the podcast is back. And we have a treat (if you want to consider it that). Mark Berman joins the myself and Aaron McFarling – back from brain surgery — to revive the podcast.

It’s been a minute since we’ve done one of these, so we cover a lot of ground football-wise, starting with Jim Weaver‘s request not to host a Thursday night this year and moving on to the NFL combine before reaching back to hit on Tech’s coaching hires real quick.

Then it’s Berman’s turn to banter about Hokies basketball. Naturally, he’s got some opinions. Give it a listen below.

It’s time to get a little vacation in before the bowl game. I’ll keep the blog going over the next week with a few stories from yesterday’s media day. For today, here’s the latest podcast with Aaron McFarling and me.

As usual, we hit several subjects. We touch on the Hokies’ scheduling agreement with Old Dominion, Mel Kiper‘s thoughts on Logan Thomas, Tech’s sluggish bowl ticket sales and the 1999 Heisman Trophy pick. Aaron also gives a sneak peak at his bowl guide, with his upset special. (And coming from two people who finished in last place of the Fearless Forecasters, where could you go wrong?).

It’s a slow news week at Virginia Tech. While Coachageddon is taking place across the country, things are still relatively quiet in Blacksburg for now, depending on how you interpret Frank Beamer‘s non-answer on a coaching change question at a bowl press conference earlier this week.

But Aaron McFarling and I found things to talk about in this week’s podcast anyway. We chat about the Rutgers matchup in the Russell Athletic Bowl, virtual Frank encouraging fans to buy tickets, the aforementioned non-answer on coaching changes, the ACC’s chances in its bowl games and what kind of bowl swag players are getting this postseason.

We got sidetracked a little bit earlier today with Louisville coming on board in the ACC.

If you missed the update in the previous post, ACC commissioner John Swofford said in a teleconference today that there’s been no discussion about realigning the divisions. He anticipates that Louisville will simply take Maryland’s spot in the previously agreed upon scheduling format.

That means the Cardinals are in the Atlantic Division and will play Virginia as a crossover rival. So Virginia Tech will continue to play Boston College as its yearly crossover opponent.

I chatted briefly with Virginia Tech athletic director Jim Weaver, who liked the addition of Louisville and reiterated earlier statements that the Hokies are happy to be in the ACC.

“We as an institution have always wanted to be in the Atlantic Coast Conference,”  he said. “And that’s where we are and I think it’s the very right place for our institution to be.”

Weaver said he gets lots of emails from fans about wanting to join the SEC, but he doesn’t respond to them.

“If I would answer all the emails I got, I wouldn’t get anything else done,” he said.

Switching gears, Aaron McFarling and I did another podcast this week. We recorded this Tuesday, before the realignment stuff came up. We discuss Virginia Tech’s narrow win against Virginia, the Hokies’ bowl prospects (one gentleman left me a voicemail saying the only game that will take them is the fictitious West Virginia Dog-Catchers Bowl, which I believe is sponsored by Alpo) and even touch on cornerback Antone Exum‘s burgeoning rap career.
