TechSideline.com is proud to release issue #12 of the TSL Extra. This month's lead story is an analysis of the football team that will tell you when their next, best shot at winning a national championship is. This month's issue also includes features on defensive tackles of the past (J.C. Price), present (Dan Wilkinson), and future.

We also have a feature on Virginia Tech's own "Rudy," walk-on kicker Matt Felber, and there's a story about concession operations at Virginia Tech and an "Inside the Numbers" feature on Virginia Tech's special teams dominance under Frank Beamer.

Here's a rundown of the articles in this month's TSL Extra:
