I am here and ready to go!

Jason Winchester, Va

Hey DeAngelo! I just wanted to know if we can plan on seeing you on the field more during the aTm game? I know you're splitting time between O/D/S.T. but it seems you were actually on the field less during the UCF and JMU games! By the way nice TD grab the other week! Hope to see you in the end zone a lot more! Go Hokies!

DeAngelo Hall

  (1:32 PM)

Oh yeah. I think so. We've been trying to get some of the younger guys some action because we got up on those teams. When the game is close I will always be in there.

Matt (Wichita)

Hello DeAngelo, Thanks for taking the time to answer our questions. Has your practice routine changed much this year since you are playing on both sides of the ball? Also do you guys have a couple different game plans for tomorrow - one for average weather, and one for playing in a hurricane? Good Luck!

DeAngelo Hall

  (1:33 PM)

Oh yeah! It's very hectic running from station to station. Most of the time I am with the defense but then I have to run to the offense field and change jerseys! I'm a lot more tired after practice this year!

David (Charlotte,NC)

DeAngelo, congratulations on your successful start to the season. On punt returns recently, it seems the returns are designed to the outside. Has Tech gotten away from designing returns up the middle and if so why? Go Hokies!

DeAngelo Hall

  (1:34 PM)

Basically we go off of what the other team is giving us. If we feel there is more room out there, we will go for it. We watch teams during the week to see what our opponent has done in the past. Sometimes it is automatic though, left or right.

As a former student and now a local resident, I like to frequent many of the establishments Blacksburg has to offer. Where's your favorite place to eat and your favorite place to go out in the 'Burg?

DeAngelo Hall

  (1:34 PM)

I just hang out in downtown. I'm either at Woody's or Big Al's.

AJ Norfolk, VA

Have the Tech coaches ever tried you at running Back? When you were coming out of Deep Creek, you were best running back in the state to me.

DeAngelo Hall

  (1:35 PM)

Actually I was. That is how me and Kevin Jones became so close. I was recruited as a DB/RB. That just got me talking to him to get him down here so I could go on the defensive side of the ball!

Ashby (Richmond, VA)

Congrats on your 4.15 40 time. Are you the fastest man in college football? What are the chances of you going pro after this year? Thanks. Good luck Thursday.

DeAngelo Hall

  (1:36 PM)

(Laughing) I think so. Definately! No, not going pro. We still have a lot to do here and myself, Kevin Jones and Brian Randall want to fulfill our promise of bringing a championship here.

Mona Lee

do u have a girlfriend? if not are you looking for one?

DeAngelo Hall

  (1:37 PM)

No, no girlfried. Not even looking! Football is my main goal right now.

Nathan W. (Richmond VA)

D, I know your a football fan so I just wanted to ask who was your favorite NFL player growing up and who is your favorite now? Good luck against the aggies and keep up the great work! Go Hokies!!

DeAngelo Hall

  (1:37 PM)

Definately Deion Sanders!

Tom (Newport News)

OK, I guess I will ask the big question: Vick or Randall who's better overall. Give us your opinion and your thought on both QB's progression. Your doing great on both sides of the ball.

DeAngelo Hall

  (1:38 PM)

I think Randall gives us a better chance to win right now. He is a veteran guy and brings so much experience to the table.

Hokie-ritville:Everywhere, USA

Gelo, you are one of my favorite Hokies. You can do everything on the field, but I wanted to know if you had any hidden talents off the field-that maybe no one knows about? Good Luck and God Bless!

DeAngelo Hall

  (1:38 PM)

I used to be in gymnastics growing up so you might catch me doing some flips or tumbling after practice.

Dan, Lee hall, VA Tech

With your incredible speed and your recent move to reciever, can we see Beamer calling for a lot more deep bombs to you than in past years?

DeAngelo Hall

  (1:39 PM)

I hope so! I'm the deep threat that will stretch the coverage. I'm just there to help the offense win. If they can hit Wilford underneath or get Jones the ball I'm fine with that. But I woud love to run some deep routes.

Matt (Blacksburg)

Does crowd noise, for example the shaking of keys on 3rd down, bother the the Tech defense at all? Or does that noise make you make better plays?

DeAngelo Hall

  (1:40 PM)

That just gets us excited. We know the other team is trying to change things up and the louder the stadium is the better it is for us. Keep it up!

Mitch (Blacksburg, VA)

DeAngelo, if you were a car, which one would you be?

DeAngelo Hall

  (1:40 PM)

(Laughing) Whew! Probably a lamborghini. I'm fast like that!

Tawab (Fairfax, VA)

Can you stop Larry Fitzgerald. GO HOK!

DeAngelo Hall

  (1:40 PM)

Oh yeah! I think so. Everyone think so! He is a great receiver but Nov. 8 we will meet and I'm ready.

reston, VA

Do you like to talk smack on the field and get in a receiver's head?

DeAngelo Hall

  (1:41 PM)

I just let my play do my talking. Early on I used to participate in all that but it just makes you more tired.

Dan (Miles Hall)

What nickname do you prefer?

DeAngelo Hall

  (1:41 PM)

Lil Prime Time!

DeAngelo Hall

  (1:41 PM)

Use it more!

pat (Texas)

Have you guys pretty much started looking toward your next opponent knowing that the Aggie game pretty much a definite "L" for you guys?

DeAngelo Hall

  (1:42 PM)

Nah! We just take it one game at a time. We went down there and ruined their record and game them a L so we know they want to return the favor.

Manveer (Blacksburg)

If you could play any team in the country you haven;t already played who would it be? I personally want to see VT take on Notre Dame

DeAngelo Hall

  (1:43 PM)

I would say Ohio State. With all the comparisons to me and Chris Gamble I would love to get to play them. It would be a great test for our defense.

Glenn (Roanoke)

Lil Prime Time - You're one of my favorite players. Off the field your attitude and everything has always been real friendly to the fans. Good luck tomorrow.

DeAngelo Hall

  (1:44 PM)

Thank you!

Glenn (Roanoke)

Do you think a big rain/wind situation would help one team more than the other?

DeAngelo Hall

  (1:44 PM)

I don't think it will help or hurt anyone more. We are going to play smash mouth football like we always do. Rain and wind is just part of the game.

BL Abingdon, VA

Are you stoked about wearing all maroon for the game tomorrow night? It has been a while. Go Hokies!

DeAngelo Hall

  (1:45 PM)

Oh yeah. It's been a LONG time. It's something a lot of the guys have been talking about for awhile. We went to Coach Beamer and he told us to look good and play good.

Robert (Miles Hall)

Lil Prime Time, what player or coach has taught you the most while you have been here?

DeAngelo Hall

  (1:46 PM)

I would have to say our offensive coordinator. He has taught me so much about life and kept me humble.

JD (Dallas, TX)

Doesn't playing both sides affect you toward the end of the game? especially in coverage? Big fan, go hokies

DeAngelo Hall

  (1:47 PM)

I haven't really been tested yet to see how it will feel. We've been getting up early so I haven't played as many snaps on offense. I'm still feeling it out.

Swag, Fairfax VA

any trick plays in the playbook this week set up for you??

DeAngelo Hall

  (1:48 PM)

(Laughing) None for me but we have some with Randall and Vick in the game at the same time. Can't wait to see that! Thanks for all the questions .. we have to do this again some time. V-Tech No. 1 !!!!
