08:14 AM ET 09.01 | Speculation that the Hokies might jump ship to the SEC didn't sit well in Blacksburg. Virginia Tech-to-the-SEC speculation has buzzed for more than two weeks. Wednesday the noise pinned the decibel meter. ... I emailed Virginia Tech presidential spokesman Larry Hincker the link to Brown's piece, and here is his response. "Total poppycock. How many times do we have to say it? If one of these rumor mongers, would be willing to cite their 'multiple sources,' it might lend some credence. Frankly, we're tired of other people telling us what our future is. We are not interested. Nothing has changed. My president will not dignify wild speculation. Our last statement [from Aug. 12] still stands. Bottom line: this is not on our radar screen." Buzzkill? It should be.

Good word...considering the other words to describe this would get whacked by the censors.
