Hey guys! My brother, TonkaBerlin, had a pretty sweet idea for my next video. The plan is to make a power hour video comprised entirely of VT football clips.
For those who don't know what a power hour is, basically you drink a single 1.5oz shot of beer every minute for an hour. While pretty easy at first, it adds up to 7.5 beers in one hour. Power hour videos consist of 60 1-minute clips with some sort of cue to drink after each one.
Now here is where you all come in. I need everyone to post their favorite VT plays of all time. I have some footage that I use for making my videos, but it would be helpful to include a link to a video showing the play (maybe a little background info on why you love the play so much) and I can just copy from that if necessary. Once I get 60 plays, ill put them together to make ab hour long video that will be perfect for tailgating.
Comments
just some of the gimmes that come to mind:
1. VT final drive vs WVU in 1999
2. Nebraska danny coale catch from 2009
3. Dyrell roberts TD catch from nebraska in 2009
4. miami 4th and 2 LT touchdown run in the final minute, 2011
5. tyrods 3rd and 31 run against FSU in 2007
6. ryan williams dragging the ncstate defender into the end zone, 2009
Five
1) DeAngelo Hall's strip of Miami's WR in the '03 game. It happened right in front of me and I can send you the clip from the ESPN highlight package that night.
2) The Wayne Ward hit. Need I say more?
3) The Antonio Banks pick six against Little Groh to win the '95 UVA game in Charlottesville, preferably with the Bill Roth call.
4) Danny Coale's Nebraska reception.
5) Any portion of 1999 season, but preferably something from the night we hung 62 on Syracuse or Corey Moore's incredible game against Clemson.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UPYZKCyCVek
I also wanted to include some non-playing highlights that warm the heart:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DaZ_musYAXY#t1h26m16s
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7R81pueBk1k
and of course, this must go in in some form as one of the most famous Enter Sandman appearances:
Andre Kendrick's touchdown run against Florida State in the NCG
http://youtu.be/DaZ_musYAXY?t=1h53m43s
Ryan Williams breaks the ankles of 3 Tennessee Vols on one play
http://youtu.be/cSCtLZ8K_Jc?t=5m20s

http://youtu.be/BsMNyu77Ld8?t=1m1s
And finally, every goal line run of Lee Suggs and Kevin Jones. Imagine if they just had a QB to play with... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UJbG76qMivo
Awesome stuff guys, keep it coming! I'll experiment a bit and possibly combine some of the shorter plays of the same type or player to get the full 60 seconds.
Gotta have Druckenmiller to Holmes

How could I have possibly forgotten DMFW's return to effectively end the GT game?! What a thrill.
Beamer ball & Defense!
There are a bunch of big hits out there as well as blocked kicks. A bocked extra point returned for a score comes to mind.
Awesome idea!
How 'bout the 2004 Miami game? Miami's final possession -- three straight batted passes to slam the door and secure our first ACC Championship.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2lGZM_847Jw
every play from this video!!!

Everything from that game. 2 returns, plus Macho decapitated Jacoby Ford on a bubble screen. Flowers had a sick hit in that game as well
Trying to come up with some non-obvious, older ones
1. the fans going nuts before/during the final play in the Miami 2011 game ("thisis beautiful... these people are losing their minds!"... love that line)
2. the fans jumping to enter sandman before the 2003 miami game ('they are jumping, they are screaming, and it's been that way for the last 30 minutes"... love that line even more than the prior one)

i could go on and on
dude yes fucking yes
rivers stopping pike on fourth down! such a massive play, rivers' first start, bcs game (even if it was against the big east i'll take it any day of the week). lets not forget cinci had a pretty damn prolific offense that year, and to hold them to 7 points? classic bud foster.
also a good play from that game for the vid would be orion martin intercepting pike on a diving shoestring catch, setting up evans td run.
you have to include the kicker flipping off the nc state bench after hitting the game winner in 86 in the peach bowl. after that scene you should have to take a shot of whiskey.
shoulde we include
MV2's flip-off to the WVU stands?
damn skippy!
i'm no mv2 fan but that clip makes me smile.
Two more
Corey Moore’s dominating performance vs. Clemson (’99), including the play where he obliterated the QB and returned for a TD (~8 min mark)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KDmMNdguzvM
Tyrod’s scrambling TD pass to Wilson vs. Stanford in the Orange Bowl
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2xObTy9YaBE
Macho provided so many highlights, man I loved that dude. How about
- That forced fumble vs BC in the 2008 ACCCG where he chased the dude down and knocked the ball out at the goal line
- His pick 6 vs Duke back in 2005 (I think it was his Fr year and the first pick 6)
- Pick 6 vs Cincy
- Pick 6 vs ECU
- Clemson 2007 (god that game was a highlight reel. was the secondary ever better than Macho, Flowers, Parker, Kam?)
- Everything he ever did, because he was awesome
THIS
the macho forced fumble vs BC. totally forgot about that
Power Hour
Please make this video happen!!! Could you imagine turning this power hour compilation on at the tailgate about an hour and a half before kick off for the GT season opener
Its been nice reliving all these big plays.
not footbal play but
If you could find a clip of Mark Warner from the graduation speech this year saying Danny Coale made that catch would be a good clip for a time filler
Some of the already mentioned that were too great to not mention again
1) David Wilson (essentially game winning) kickoff return against gt in 2010
2) Tyrod's very long run against nc state in 2010
3) Dyrell Roberts kickoff return vs bama in 2009
4) Ryan Williams' first touchdown as a hokie vs bama in 2009
5) Jarett Boykin go ahead touchdown on 4th down vs Boise in 2010
6) Ryan Williams long touchdown run vs miami in 2010 (when miami wore their hideous pro combats)
7) Nebraska in 2009 "Daaannyyyy Cooaaalleeee"
8) Darren Evans truck stick vs maryland in 2008
9) Ryan Williams dragging nc state in 2009
10) uva mascot guy falls off the horse
Not mentioned (I don't think I saw these at least)
1) Brandon Flowers laying out drew weatherford vs fsu in 2007
2) David Wilson kickoff return against nc state in 2010
3) Jacob Sykes punt block and touchdown vs miami in the rain in 2009
4) any of LT3's signature quarterback truck stick
5) Ryan Williams 66 yard touchdown right up the middle vs gt in 2009
6) Any Ryan Williams or David Wilson run vs marshall in 2009
I'll keep thinking....
to go off of this one
i vividly remember the Flowers hit on weatherford. weatherford CLEARLY fumbled as shown in the replays, but he was ruled down.
Also, does anyone remember that run David Wilson had vs UNC last season where he barrel rolled and was marked down at the 1? watching the replay, you can clearly see that he reached the endzone before going down.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w16RA0gcZrM 8:02 in this vid... officials these days...
Need to have at least 2-3 old school (early beamer era) highlights in this.
Also, consider "the kick" vs NC State in the 198whatever Peach Bowl.
A Bruce Smith highlight would be cool.
Maybe you could do a minute full of commitment videos (Kendall Fuller, Tyrod, Kevin Jones, Corey Marshall, Cornell Brown, etc)
how bout
DeShazo to Bryan Still in '93 for 70 yards against the twerps.
or
Touchdown Tommy Edwards from Deshazo for 55 yards in the 63-21 drubbing of Pitt in '93
Update
Halfway done! This is also the most fun I've had making a video. Can't wait to release this one and play.
One of dumber ones...
Michael's "everyone go right" call on the second play against Temple when he went left 53 yards for a td without anyone close to him.
Because Michael ran the wrong way, and Temple stunk too much to take advantage. He did it again on the first drive 4th down play against Florida State. That was the loudest I ever cussed a Tech player until the David Wilson backwards run against Michigan with 3rd place being the DeAngelo Hall shudder against Health Miller.
It is easy to say that the last 40 seconds of the first half of the 93 Independance Bowl were the most important 40 seconds in Hokie football history. A defensive TD and a kickblock led to 14 points and keyed a route over Indiana to give Beamer his first bowl win and only the second bowl win in the history of the program. Watch the player's excitement!
http://youtu.be/1Sw_Rakxwb4?t=31m52s
Man, that bowl was awesome. Witnessing the growth of the program as an undergrad during those years really adds to my enojoyment of every subsequent season.
how??
how can i archive this thread and possibly engrave it into my brain because it's the greatest thing of all f'ing time!!!
that is all.
How about I film myself walking around C'ville in full Hokie gear and nut-tapping the ascot wearers all over campus. I'll get a shot or two by the rotunda, one on the old lawn, one on frat row, etc.
I am sure I can get you a minute of good footage
;)
As a local...
it never ceases to amaze me how many people I see around town in VT gear, and how many stores have VT stuff for sale. I don't recall seeing anything in orange and blue in bburg! Not sure you'd really attract much attention in maroon and orange around here!
its true, i live near cville and you see vt stuff everywhere. there was some store in the downtown mall selling stained glass and the vt one was above the uva one and i said to myself you would never see that in blacksburg
Don't know if I saw these listed
There are just way too many plays to read through all of them, and the ones I did brought me chills so I can only imagine what this video will do for me.
- Blocked punt against Miami in 2009 and/or the sack on Jacory Harris that forced a fumble
- Fuller's TD return off blocked punt against WVU
- Love the idea of the 5-star commits! Should def include that
- LT's first completion to Danny Coale on 3rd & 15 (I believe)
I honestly can't come up with anything... Looks like I know what I'm doing for the rest of my day at work.. Man this video is gonna be amazing.
D Hall's Take away for 6
The play he steals the ball away from Roscoe Parrish and Bill Roth's classic play-by-play re-enactment where he says "give it to me Roscoe, give it to me".
Brett Warren
A play that gets lost in this game because of D. Evans' amazing performance; Brett Warren's murder of Darius Heyward-Bey in the 2008 Maryland game. I believe it was in the 3rd quarter. Featured here around the 5:01 mark. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bJJ4dg01cCU
Hoping to add some pre-Vick flavor here
I haven't read through the whole thread so forgive me if I repeat some that have been mentioned. I think most of these were TV games and/or I've seen them on YouTube somewhere.
Any of these will do, particularly the ones against Texas.
- Any of Will Furrer's TD passes vs. UVA in 90
- Furrer to Antonio vs. WVU in 91
- The goalline 4th down stop/fumble recovery with 20 seconds left at WVU in 91
- The blocked FG vs Indiana in the 93 Independence Bowl
- JC Price's sack late in the game in the first win vs Miami in 95
- Bryan Still's punt return TD vs. Texas in the 95 Sugar Bowl
- Still's long TD catch vs. Texas in the 95 Sugar Bowl
- Jim Baron's fumble return TD vs. Texas in the 95 Sugar Bowl
(PS I really fucking hate Texas)
- Druck had a long TD pass to open the scoring vs. ECU in 96
- Keion Carpenter's 100 yards pick six vs. Miami in 96
- Shawn Scales' reverse TD run vs. UVA in 96
- There were 4 or 5 big plays for TDs vs. Rutgers in 97
- Pierson Prioleau's INT to save the game vs. Miami in 97
- Clark to Hall in OT vs. Miami in 98
- Clark's big run for TD vs. Bama in 98
- Midget's pick six vs. Bama in 98
Oh, and any footage of Brandon Flowers obliterating receivers and their mothers.
Here's the 4th quarter of the 86 Peach Bowl, which includes Kinzer's kick that someone mentioned.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QZS-CYLxHvE&feature=relmfu
FURRER FURRER FURRER FURRER
http://youtu.be/W_SIL390btA?t=1h20m34s
I am not sure what I should comment on?
1) How weird is it to see the Hokies in a pro set?
2) How many 15 yard penalties would have been called on that celebration today?
Oh MY!!
I just noticed that the extra point was kicked by a non-soccer style kicker! Was Williams the last straight-on kicker in football??
http://youtu.be/6Ike6a1ituo?t=23m38s
Here's a sequence where they show Frank and Shane on the sideline, Furrer throws a TD pass to run up the score on UVA and then back to Frank and Shane celebrating. Almost too much awesomeness in a 1-minutes span.
50 min done!
just 10 to go. I am digging deep here, need everyone to rack their brains!
furrer4heisman had some great plays from the pre-vick era, sadly there isn't a ton of video out there for all of his suggestions. If anyone has anything, post it up!

MVick7
Wasn't there a Michael Vick play where he basically helicoptered into the endzone because of the way the defenders took out his feet? If that's not in there and it applies, make it so. If I'm completely misremembering it, attribute it to my alcoholism.
No, that definitely happened. Excellent choice.
A Few, and some repeats
I don't have any links, but I'm sure they are out there.
2007 Clemson Macho Harris 101 yard kickoff return TD

not going to lie, I can feel tears brewing when I watch tyrod's year of the quarterback series on ESPN right before the draft. Any objections on having a segment with it?
Couple more
No objections to Tyrod's year of the qb series...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z_cRSYokIQc
Prob be able to find a few randoms from the youtube clip (6:23 has to be included, the way he stepped into the endzone was too cool)
1) Tyrod's 72 yard td run vs western kentucky 2010 season (prob hard to find video on this one)
2) Virgil's fumble recovery for td vs ecu, first game of 2008 season
3) Virgil's blocked extra point, 2 point conversion return, same ecu game as above
May already have these...
Don't know if you have enough yet but...
Here are a few that came to mind, may have already been mentioned:
- JGW tipped Pick 6 against FSU in ACCCG 2010
- The goaline stand against UNC Fall 2010 where Elzy fumbled (@4:20 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ethlehX5f_A)
