election in an atmosphere that's
already politically charged.

To close the gap - Governor Kaine
wants to use the state's Rainy Day

in citizen services being cut.....

But today Republican leaders lit
up at the thought of taping into the

mstevens@wdbj7.com The Virginia Tech Hokies do not
play again until third ranked Boston
College rolls into Blacksburg next
Thursday night.

GRAPHIC=VINCE HALL So far this week, the news out of

Blacksburg isn't all that great.

Vince Hall, will have to stay in
his current cast for at least another
week and half before he can think going
to any kind of protective brace that
would allow him to play.

Hall is definitely out for the BC
game and now there's word
GRAPHIC=CAM MARTIN that another linebacker could be out

for the game.

Cam Martin, the first year
starter from George Washington high
school in Danville has Mono.

August Practice The 6-foot-1, 209-pound redshirt :00 sophomore from has started every game
this season at whip linebacker, and
currently ranks seventh on the team in
tackles, and he also has three sacks.
If the mononucleosis makes Martin too

weak to play next week, Cody Grimm is
likely to make his first career start
in his place.

short cast and his availability also is
highly unlikely if you go on past

2000 Tech fans remember all too well :00 the 2000 season when Michael Vick
sufered a high ankle speain against
Pitt and tried to comeback and play at
Miami.

His effort was admirable, but the
fact is - he just couldn't do it.

Still - Frank Beamer told us
today he hasn't ruled out a Tyrod
comeback.

OQ=News 7 Sports. << Kyle Busch has never been afraid
(END SOT) to speak his mind and as well as shake

things up on and off the Racetrack.

This weekend's Subway 5-hundred
at Martinsville for Busch and the rest
of the Drivers in the Chase for the
Nextel Cup provides a chance for a
shake up in the Standings with trouble
around every Corner.

(BUSCH BITE:)

This race at Martinsville will be
Busch's final turns around the Half
Mile Track as a member of Hendrick
MotorSports as he makes the move to Joe
Gibbs Racing for 2-thousand and 8.

(BUSCH BITE:)

And if you thought that Busch was
out-spoken in the past, the reins might

be coming off even more with the
changing of teams.

(BUSCH BITE:)

Another Change for Busch next
season will be that he and the rest of
Joe Gibbs Racing will be running
Toyota's. Grant Kittelson News 7
