One last time...
LETS GO!!
HOKIES!!!🦃🦃🦃
About time it was done right
And so it begins...
I kinda think we will win this one. Don't know why. But it feels good.
It's always a good day to beat a Wahoo.
Ending seasons with a win over LOLUVa is a time honored hokie tradition. Here's to reestablishing that tradition for years to come.
LETS FUCKING GO HOKIES BEAT THE ZIMA SIPPING WIMPS
via GIPHY
Lay the wood. Break some faces. Get the damn cup
Anyone have any real info if HH is not starting tonight and why?
Fuente really likes BB and now that his broken toes are healed he is healthy. Per Fuente himself, the initial benching of HH was for play/ mental mistakes not for any injury.
Makes sense, thanks! Let's hope B.B. is ready to ball
Excellent play the running guy who can't pass again the team we'll have to pass to beat.
If Fuente stays you can guaranty HH will transfer.
Pretty sure he's declaring
Just my gut from his bowl acceptance etc
Declaring what? Not going pro right?
For the draft. Him Deablo potentially darrisaw as well as Ashby and Justus Reed as well as Jarod Hewitt among some that I believe aren't using the extra year. Some potential transfers as well on top of those names
Let's end this
tenureseason the right way boys!I got my bourbon and Laze and Burnop on the radio. Hoping I am happy around 11:30 pm tonight. Let's Fucking Go!
HOKIES!!!!
I might not be awake for any of this game. I'm already so tired and I'm not sure it's worth staying up.
You shouldn't run so much on the treadmill on game days. Jus' sayin'.
At the end of next week, I hope we all are able to say 'well, at least Fuente got the Cup back before he was fired'
Really need this. Being stuck in the guest room for a over a week is really taking it's toll, really need something good to happen.
Luther Maddy is the VT broadcast sideline reporter tonight. Talking about energy on the sideline.
That team meeting room where they did the pre game interview is looking good.
Justin Fuente looks like he's finished in that pre-game interview. I do feel bad for the guy; I don't hate him at all.
Totally agree.... his eyes looked empty and he appeared to be a man with no soul left. I hope that when we part ways he is able to recover and enjoy a successful career elsewhere.
He already looked defeated. I don't know who our Mox and Lance Harbor are, but we may need to find them and pull the ol' Coach
KilmerFuente sack.Let's freaking go!!!
Freaking HOKIES!!!!
https://youtu.be/_4dAYKzZa20
In case no one can see it
Live game
Did they really just say UVA was avenging a loss to VT in 2019 and not the other way around, or did I just mishear them?
That is exactly what they said
Now we just got a field goal from Brian "Jordan". ACCN really bringing their A game.
Get the cup
back!
Time to get this cup back.
They got Trey involved early. Good move
Followed up with a very good run by KH
Nice run by Herbert to get that 1st down and more!
Juice Herbert?
Ok. Does he have a nickname I don't know about?
They've been calling him Juice all season long
Ok somehow my wife and I have missed that.
Qb draw on second and long!
I was expecting one on third too.
That was a shitty holding call. He didn't prevent any kind of lateral movement whatsoever. squared up the whole time.
Yeah... awful call no doubt
Absolute bullshit. It's not a holding just because the defender spins... I dunno what the hell that was all about
Fuente Era Series Finale. Let's end it with getting that cup back!
LETS GO!!
Brian Jordan!!!
Man these broadcasts suck so bad
We have damn near zero ability to stretch the field vertically
Uva sideline is way too amped up early on. That could backfire in a bad way if we are able to go up a few scores real quick.
Good start. Bs holding... you can call that any play
Patented Cornelson stall once inside scoring range.
Uh, the holding call stalled us and put us way behind the sticks. The playcall on that play was actually a good one, and the next play which was a QB power was going against 8 in the secondary, so actually another good call.
Great kick, Brian 'Jordan'!!
Are we playing we have to drink on spurted commercials?
I'm drinking for geico in DC
I'm tired and a little buzzed already, but that spurdle didn't have 3 cameras on the back last time right?
Spin Power frustrated dad wearing a Wahoo tie. 😂
Opening drive gets points. I certainly wanted 7 but getting points on every drive is important.
That spin power thing looks like more of a hassle than a regular power strip
BUT WAIT!
There's more!!
The refs did not call holding on that blatant hold
If you're going to call the hold on us, there were about 3 on that play that could have been called
Great timing on the tackle by deablo.
Need to keep contain on Armstrong.
False start 69 on that 3rd
Sigh, typical defense can't quite stop anybody.
UVA is getting away with a lot of holding.
Meanwhile we get called for holding for a form block while UVAh defender spins
Does anyone else find the players wearing orange long sleeves incredibly visually distracting????????????????????????????????????
Now I do
Thank you very much for pointing that out. I will now.
... I like them
Defense already looks confused.
Lol. Bronco is just going to get weird as hell and run the most unorthodox plays. Meanwhile we will let him do it. Lack of physicality in the front 7. Plus soft ass secondary coverage.
soft coverage is going to kill us
Ah yes. Playing 10 yards off every receiver.
Man strong key plays
ALright 3rd and 10 - need to hold em here.
ANd this aged like milk.
The difference in us vs our opponents, our opponents have drives. We rely on Herbert to bust out for big plays.
Welp our defense can't handle a well coached offense
So you're saying we should avoid Tony Elliot?
/s
The short passing game seems to be working for uva
if there is one team in the country that I would actually want to have 3rd down against its VT. My goodness our 3rd down defense has to be the worst in the country
Someone, anyone let's summon the strength of hokie defense past
2 third and long and 2 passes for first downs. About par for the season.
No one gives up 3rd and long like the Hokies
Like 3-4 times on a single series no less
Secondary allowing easy first down conversions. It's going to be a long night.
I don't get it. If you have just one man in your zone, play him tight and try and disrupt the catch
pitiful pass coverage.
Kemp IV. Has there ever been a more UVA name?
Offense is going to have to score a ton of points tonight.
Said every game we've played this year!
I feel hopeless watching this defense on 3rd down
Come on defense
Trading FG for TD won't win the game.
10 yard buffers on almost every play
Their route running is so much better than ours. Like night and day better.
I'm not liking the body language the Hokies TBH....I'm afraid this could get ugly early
Agreed. And it was talked about earlier in this thread, but Fuente looked like an empty shell in that pre game interview. All around a bad combo.
Agree on Fuente. He looks completely over it.
Well touche Fuente. We are totally over you.
body language was horrible after that one. almost like they already gave up.
It was awful. On their blitzes they just jogged.
Ugh - not a great start for the D. They didn't even come close to stopping loluva.
I'm getting pitt game flashbacks but without the early defensive stops
Can Bud Foster call in with some tips?
Sure... you want to see their qb run for 300yards. /s kind of
Why did I watch? Oh yeah, want to see if the team can respond at all. Okay, lots of time left, but we need a lot of points.
Our secondary is playing way off and that was a cake walk for uva we play so afraid of the big play we make no plays on defense and I can't stand it
Playing so far off has been a liability all season and J-Ham hasn't tried to adjust
That drive looked like a parents vs. kids game. Specifically, when the parents act like they are trying, but obviously let the kids go down the field and score.
We've long complained that the team doesn't have an identity under Justin Fuente.
That is false, they absolutely do. They reflect his emotionless, deer-in-the-headlights demeanor perfectly as they lose lifelessly against every opponent they face.
Oof.
Can't even be mad at you for simply making objective observations though.
We suck in zone. Man-free Ham!
We played tight outside coverage against clemson and only got burned once. Why on earth are we bit trying it against significantly worse athletes?
Fuente throwing this game as a last FU on his way out of town? He probably feels like it's the fans' fault he's getting fired...
I hope not
I'm telling you, we need the Coach Kilmer special from our guys.
I seriously don't understand the 12 yard cushion on 3rd and 10.
I just don't get it. Not like we're getting beat long. They need 9, we play 12 off. They need 12, we play 15 off. Easy math.
For every great tackle we make, there are 25 whiffs!
Prevent defense in the first quarter? Bold strategy.
It's the bend-but. -don't-break...but-then-break defense.
If uva goes up by 10 we don't have the character to bring it back, at least from what we have seen this year. We are a soft team. We wilt when challenged.
This is a very important offensive series
Just looking purely at energy of the two teams, it's clear which team this game means more to
I'm starting to think that I'm going to need an OctaSmart plus to sleep tonight
You have a fake QB run and only throw a 5 yard pass that has momentum back to the line of scrimmage.
What the hell are we doing
UVA being what Fuente wants to be HARD - SMART - TOUGH
Jackson leading with the crown of his helmet there but nothing to see here
I think I've become convinced that if BB had gotten his waiver Hooker would have never seen the field
god, I never thought in a million years that VT football would be softer than UVA.
This team is so soft. Low key, coach I'm most looking forward to being gone is Hilgart. Don't give a shit about beach bodies when you can't tackle and aren't physical.
BB needs to use the short pass to open the game for Juice
Not in the playbook.
Fuente said in the pregame when asked how important the game was he responded "it's important" no you idiot, it's EVERYTHING ITS UVA. Team perfectly reflecting the demeanor of the coach this quarter
He was asked about how important it was to get the Cup back and he literally dodged the question
Why did that screen not have a safety valve alternate?
Ask Corn!
corn is getting worked and BB is bailing him out currently
They basically just called out TJ Jackson for breaking Braxton's foot because there aren't any other 380lb OL lol
It did. Both were covered.
it's a real shame we can't throw the ball. UVAs pass defense is vulnerable and we just won't be able to take advantage. That just might be the reason we lose this game
That's the most damning aspect of this coaching staff. We don't have one single qb who can throw. Not one. And they've been coached by Fuente for a combined 9 or 10 years.
That was a generous spot, but I'll take it.
Some home team spots by the refs, but I'll take it.
We've been screwed by it all season long. About time we got one our way.
Would call it a makeup call doesn't even come close to making up for that hold on CD
Burmeister didn't need to abandon the pocket on that play. They had no pass rush.
ME: "Where are you going the pocket is fine?!?!"
Special play designed by the QB whisperer.
braxton is not a 100%. looks like a little limp in his step.
Would love to see BB climb up into the pocket where the field is open
Instead of always running 90° to our bench before throwing it away?
Is Hendon good for tonight?
PASS INTERFERENCE!!
He just hit turner in the face on the long pass attempt.
Bad decision by BB on that throw to Tre.
Passing game of a little league team
Holstein has motivation.
I want what he's drinking
I think its milk.
Great block by Herbert on that pass to Hoge.
BB has done well so far. He has rolled out effectively and thrown the ball away rather than making too risky a throw.
The wife was excited by this commercial, she thought it was a spurtle commercial so she would have to drink.
Okay, now key the bone headed penalty, IT, or coaching snafu to sabotage the drive.
Every passing play is a rollout to the right. Literally every throw has been made on the run. Even when there is no pass rush to be seen.
That may be what BB is most comfortable with. It may also be setting something up for later.
I'm so far behind with HULU. How was the arm straight out shoving Tre not PI?
Fuente called a timeout before the play to attempt to freeze their defense. /s
For the same reason the facemask wasn't called on Herbert's run. Because ACC refs suck.
BUT THERES EVEN MORE
UVA chanting and jumping on the sideline on 3rd down to try and create some game atmosphere might be the most UVA thing ever. So. Lame.
I disagree. Why is being excited about your team and the game lame? You seem like a crossed arms, dead emotionless eyes kinda guy. Shouldn't you be busy coaching, Fu?
I don't always agree with tjbhokie but I do here....how many of us have complained about the lack of excitement on our sidelines? Giving UVA crap for it is lame.
Where did our strong O-line go?
Fu spoke to them
I hope Hodge comes back next year. Feel like he got cheated this year by being so under utilized.
Probably a better drinking game Egbert is for 3rd and draws
I sure hope Holston is playing b/c Herbert is hurt. I mean, giving him a couple touches if fine...
And in classic Corny fashion he has three runs in a row. Long run. Terribly called and blocked short yardage gain for first down. Immediate handoff with 14 defenders in the backfield for a big loss.
BIG PLAY TRE! TD!!
Big call on the facemask. Herbert back in hopefully to blast into the endzone.
I'll say it now. 4 down territory here.
Thankfully, not needed.
Nah, 2 down territory. Great run by Tre!
Funny enough I've told myself if we didn't score on second down we wouldn't. Corny gets so locked up on 3rd he panics. Then 4th is a disaster.
POSITIVE JET SWEEP
Now time for a stop on D
Missed those jet sweeps baby!
Jet sweep for the TD.
Oh my.
The ole jet sweep
Jet sweep by Trey for a score! We have not seen a lot of jet sweeps recently
That's cuz everybody hates them.
Did you hate that one?
Good news! Their defense sucks too.
Wow. What great versatility shown there. Jet sweep...who'd a thunk it?
Good answer.
Need the defense to show something this series
Sick extra point from Brian Jordan
Wasn't he an outfielder for the Braves?
He also played for the Falcons. He was a dual sport pro guy
Defensive coaches just had 8 minutes to adjust....
Please?
JHam plz
Nice long drive to not only get the lead back but give the defense some rest.
D should be rested now. Let's hope Ham adjusted with the 10 mins+ break.
They were rested before the first series of the game. Nice drive by BB and the offense. Need some D to step up.
Wow the announcer just said we switched up our offense with a jet sweep. Good research there.......
They have been horrible from the beginning.
I may have miss heard but at the start of the broadcast I was pretty sure they said we handed them a crushing loss to finish the 2019 season. Ummm, what?
I muted tv and turned on burnop and laazer... wish I had started that way
17 plays...wow!
Give me jet sweeps or give me death
JET SWEEP TD!!!!
Hurrycane: so you can get to walking slow faster
this is random AF and I LOVE it
We decided to drink to that one once the wife worked out the name thing.
I resemble that remark!
Gotta love loluva cheap shotting Dax and no call.
Living in their heads rent free
Corn actually using Holston as a change up from Herbert instead of trying Blackshear at tailback. He finally figured it out. I guess better late than never.
Maybe Corn signed up for TKP since last weekend!
Nick Saban trying to be silly and funny on Geico commercial feels icky.
I honestly hope there's a duck statue somewhere on Alabama's campus
You mean Aflac? He's not with GEICO
Jet sweep life!
Watching on YTTV is an endless loop of ACC and UVa commercials
Better than the bell and Howard loop
Don't forget about Nuts.com
Those jet sweeps will get after ya
Anybody know where I can buy nuts?!
we need to get pressure on Armstrong in the backfield
Good Stop, D
Holy shit. 3 and out. Is that our fist one this year?
Never mind. We ducked it up.
oh my god what the hell
95 guys dressed out and no one can catch a punt. Great coaching.
If no one can catch it. Put 11 on the linens block every one.
A defensive stop ... followed by a special team fail UGH
Blown punt
Shibest is the fucking worst
Shiworst?
Lol
That's on coaching
AND THIS IS WHY WE SHOULDNT USE TIGHT ENDS TO RETURN PUNTS
Why we shouldn't have coaches named Fuente.
Fire shibest
Sheesh... 5 years in and we still can't field a punt
unbelievable
our special teams are so poorly coached it's ridiculous
our team is so poorly coached it's ridiculous
Wtf was that
wow....our defense finally gets a stop and then we do that. That is VT football in a nutshell
Preach. Ugh.
What the fuck man...punt returns have been horrible. Shibest isn't earning his check this year
Paid way too much too
😭😭😭😭
int time
WHY THE HELL IS OUR TE RETURNING PUNTS?
Wow, does this game feel like a rerun or what?
Fuck! Another reason for a coaching change!
Shibest - please see yourself out
Worse than Corn, no doubt.
Special fucking teams have been something special this year
The TE is returning punts because everyone else sucked, too, Tim
Has nothing to do with COVID. we don't know how to coach special teams anymore
If having a 240 lb TE playing punt return doesn't get Shibest fired I'm not sure what else will. Can't wait for him to be gone along with Fuente
WR was open! Thank goodness he can't throw.
That really does sum up a lot of the team this year.
Lucked our ass out on that one.
Man - when our D does something worth a damn I'm going to give them props. And yes, they just stopped em' twice. Props.
Saved by the bad FG attempt
Just like we planned.
How in the fucking hell can we not have someone who can field a fucking punt by the last game of the season? Really?
D seems to have found some answers. Two 3 and outs.
And a miss - better lucky than good.
wow we got bailed out by our D + the missed FG
Thank god their special teams is special too
We must be leading the country in muffed punts. Thank God they can't kick the ball.
Can't blame Mitchell when he should never be returning a punt in the first place. It's just another complete failure of these coaches that they can't get a single WR, RB, or DB to reliably return punts.
And somehow it doesn't hurt us on the scoreboard.
Wow
Need a TD on this drive. Take the wind out of their sails
that missed fg makes up for the muffed punt I guess...we're lucky tho
I wanna be a "real sock scientist"
LOL! This game is hilariously bad. Add ACCN on top and we're at the pinnacle of lameness.
Good stand by the D and a missed FG. That's so Wahoo.
A second stop by the defense, FAM!
Followed by a missed FG attempt by uva. We have held the lead, guys. Go HOKIES!
Dodged a bullet from the scoreboard perspective there...
It also really bothered me that Shibest wasn't even over talking to Mitchell coaching him up after. Just other players and maybe that was Lecht.
Alright, D. Nice stop after the muffed punt and then the missed FG. Now #LFG!
Oh man. New infomercial alert!
My feet are cold
That was the first missed FG against us this year!
Glad the coaches let the def down again by continuing to have a TE return punts.
At least UVAs play calling looks about as creative as ours.
TEs fielding punts is totally normal right?
That looked so much like a Rogers wheel route, I was having flash backs.
Rogers would have scored twice. And kicked the XP.
And then returned a punt
That he kicked.
Back to No O-line , ugh
To be fair, that was only the 2nd worst fielded punt I saw today. Army guy trying to field one in that ridiculous fog was #1.
It's about goddamn time we ran the pop pass
Been setting it up for 10 games!
To be fair, Corn has actually called a good game so far.
We need to use the jet sweep, with a reverse.
Big Brain Brad is setting up for that I'm sure (only a little /s)
BB keeps there and I think he runs for awhile!
Jet sweep
Everybody drink
They are bringing a defender up into the box exactly where we are going (jet sweep). Need to audible out.
Corny doesn't know what this word audible you speak of is.
Or even planning an option for BB on pass plays. It's 1 receiver, one route...all or nothing.
11 was open but the online was a sieve that play.
Telegraphed the heck out of that sweep
UVA knows exactly what Corny is doing right now.
To be fair every person watching the game does to.
...well except one...
Ehhh we had the nice pass to Mitchell.
I'm giving Corn a little benefit of the doubt here that he's going to "throw away" a couple jet sweeps for no gain only to add in a reverse to Robinson and some other trickery
Or maybe I'm giving him too much credit
He's setting them up. Wait for all the qb runs after the half. I like it with the lead
Brian F'n Jordon!!!!
Not picking up blitzes
I didn't mean it seriously when I suggested we stay out of the red zone and let Johnson nuke them from orbit.
Has Corny hit is jet sweep quota for tonight or no?
He's got 3-4 years of contract term worth to still get out. So about 230 more.
Another FG for Johnson!
'Jordan' (allegedly)
It might be crazy but we need some pass plays against one of the worst pass defenses in the country. That might be why they are blitzing like crazy.
Would love it if we could keep a QB in the pocket and hit some crossing patterns here. Some guy named French kinda hinted at that.
Jordan may be our top scorer tonight. The name fits.
Again, we got points off of drive, that is a positive.. I hope these three points off a drive don't come back and haunt us.
Any word on hooker?
Laze and Burnop indicated he was available in pregame. BB is probably a better option in the running game.
I want a cool Virginia based accn promo 🥺
Proud of our kicker - bravo big man. We need every point we can get!
Why are they playing the stand up and shout song? There's no crowd.
I don't ever love speed sweeps on the 3-4 even though we got one to work. Always felt like the LB corp has the advantage
Every view of Fuente has him standing on the sideline staring into nothing completely uninvolved.
He's trying to figure out why that cardboard cutout of Beamer isn't moving.
It's been 5 years. Notre Dame is like the only game I've seen him care about
Syracuse scored 101 points!!?!!!
No, wait that's basketball.
Really? Was that BB?
Deablo with the big stick on the screen!
Think our sideline isn't jacked?!
No only the loluva sideline brought their own energy...Tim said so!
Does fuente not wearing a white vt hat mean something?
Yes. That he doesn't want to wear a hat.
lol you just gonna troll this whole thread?
Cant say anything about the play, but Taylor is wearing the threads well tonight.
Seems like the D woke up
Another stop! D is stiffening.
Giggity
Um, phrasing!
Please score a TD before the half 🤞🤞
A TE returning punts is just god aweful dumb.
JUUUICEEEEEE
YALL WE CAUGHT A PUNT BEAMERBALL HAS RETURNED
Is it just me or did we stop seeing spurtle ads when we started losing? Did Lucinda abandon us?
TD drive here would be huge.
Someone better buy me a beer 🍻
Fuente has the demeanor of a coach who knows this is his last game
Even when asked about how important the Cup was, he dodged the question, said nothing about the program and only spoke of the seniors and their last game. Sounds like he knows it's over.
If the Hokies cover the bet I placed on them (-4.5), I'm going to lose 30 lbs.
JUICE IS LOOSE! TD
BOOM
Untouched
HERBERT
As he said, "The Juice is loose!"
Holy Fuck - Juice!
Clean Mountain AIR!
YES YES YES
Online showed up for that play.
Juice! Showing the wheels off
Herbert has been a great addition... and yes, CJF got him.
The Juice is loose!
BIG PLAY BERT UNTOUCHED TO THE HOUSE
Juice
My fat ass could've ran through that hole.
Pretty sure they would've caught me though.
BOOOOOM
Fuck em, why cause we hate em!!
Herbert for the Heisman
If the good guys win, we need giftory of that fan going up the bleachers to hug his bros
I love it when Herbert splits the safeties and leaves them in his dust.
Herbert pls
Was that Mitchell kicking that?
Fuck yes!!!!!
We are approaching kill shot territory. Need a defensive stop here
lol, and we kick it outta bounds...of course
JUICE HERBERT IS A FREAKING BEAST!!!!
One of the saddest things about this season is he'll never get to experience Lane stadium for real.
Kick out of bounds? Who else wants to draw and quarter the special teams coach?
I'll second that.
I am pretty sure Shibest didn't say to Romo - "Kick it outa bounds here, its the smart play."
Don't bring logic into this.
Trick play. They'll never see it coming.
...was supposed to be an insides kick. He just nailed it.
Fuente and Corn, do not go into a f-ing shell and get ultra timid in the second half!!!!!
Just feed Juice
I hope we can score in the second half....we'll need to
That's how you beat the 3-4 with their best nose tackle out
Great hit Diablo
Lil hint of DBU there
Ian Book Easter egg
Diablo being a demon!
Need a stop here on 3rd and 4.
And Deablo delivers!
Giftory shot there.
I like you're thinking!
Clock. Management.
We've already gone into don't lose mode.
Wrong reply. Didn't age well
He BOOMED him
Deablo just hit sticked the bitch
Herbert has 114 yards on 2 runs!
His other 7....11 yards.
Let's see if Fu goes for blood here
86 yard run for Herbert incoming
TD drive here would be huge.
Alright bitches. I want a keg.
That hit was excruciatingly violent and entertainingly sadistic
I loved it
Defense is playing with attitude. Great stop, now go for the kill. Another rd before half.
Looks like our clock management is on par...
Oh come on this drive so far is a buzzkill
Add those point! TD!! Now let's break their will
Hell yes!!!
Yes yes yes
Kill shot!
Corny saved by the players making plays!!!!
Also, how did I not notice earlier that we're proudly wearing #AME?
Robinson!!!! Go hokies, break the hoos before half.
KICK THEIR ASS, SEABASS
GIVE US THAT DAMN CUP BACK
BB is wide open on the keep.
Wow ! Well done HOKIES! We have had some big plays in this game. I want more!
Fucking right Tavion!
dagger
that was exactly what we needed!
TD Tayvion! Suck it clock management!
#53 is hopped up.
See what happens when you are not a pussy and actually go for it and try to score?
**background noise of Fuente furiously scribbling notes**
...and the QB gets a pocket to through throw from...
and doesnt leave a pocket with no pressure
Blood is in the water. Do not let up
I wish we could just forgo halftime - we have all the momentum right now.
Stop
the
count
Bitches!!!!!
I dont know what to do with my hands!
Alcoholic beverage?
Ok...i dont know what to do with my free hand....
Alcoholic beverage?
Give Myrtle your spurtle?
Peace 7?
J/k
Victory 7
OMG, everyone knows you do it like this./s
TMFR
Our band plays behind the visiting teams bench?
And you never played us in Blacksburg in December. The Marshall fame was the first December home game in like 40 years.
Yeah, kind of an idiot. We must have given him to many concussions.
They did when Hassleback played
I wish we had a full house there cheering
Scared money don't make money
Poor clock management by uva there
#FuenteExtension
That's some Fuente level clock management by Bronco
The ghost of London strikes
He studied the timecop playbook
The ghost of coaches past haunts bronco
Thats some fuente clock management right there....
We've scored the same amount this half than we did in our prior 10 quarters.
Wait.....bad clock management by the OTHER team?
Shades of Time Cop there.
Chill y'all, we're just scoring all the points this half because BooHoos will make adjustments and our offense will fall flat second half
*ducks*
Unfortunately, I fully expect us to crawl into a shell and try to not lose on offense (i.e., do nothing) in the second half and rely on the defense. Hope that even Fuente and Corn are not that dense, but don't know.
Bronco trying to out do Fuente with the clock mismanagement.
The ghost of Mike London...
I approve of this 1st half.
WHIP THEIR FUCKING ASS
I hope it's 62-0!!!
LOLUVA figures out the negative 7 point play!
Not going to lie - I hate that it didn't work out for Fu and we are in this spot. I appreciate the effort this team is giving tonight and hope we bring home the cup. I hope he moves on to a gig back in the Texas/OK area and I hope we ride the Tony Pony into the next golden era of VT football.
Fu goes to OU after Riley goes pro.
Texas and Herman approves this scenario
They'd probably fund it.
Don't think Fu would even get an interview there. He had a bad experience, and I don't think they would take someone who doesn't prioritize recruiting. I see him at a TCU type program.
Great first half. The D found some answers after getting rolled in the first drive and Bradburn has not had to punt yet.
Is anyone else scared shitless that we're about to run their ass off the field and it'll be JUST enough to keep Fuente around another year? 😅
Run their ass off the field and let Tony Elliott polish the Cup.
The decision, one way or the other has already been made. Whit has enough info on this season to fire Fu or decide that with all the other stuff going on, he gets a pass.
No. I think fat lady is still warming her pipes.
Nope.
Don't think so. Don't have any info, just a feeling that the decision has already been made. If Fuente stays, he was probably staying even if we lose 100-3. If he goes, he was already gone even if we win this game, get into a bowl game, the game is actually played, and we win that game, think he is still gone. Who knows? We will probably never know for sure.
Nothing is more important than wrecking UVA.
Burbrackster?
A type of German food
Sounds delicious...and may cause IBS.
That was funny!
Oh and who is Ty Eller? Lol
(Tyjuan Garbutt)
I wish these fuckers would have given me a heads up that they would be kicking so much ass tonight, i definitely would have curtailed my pre-gaming, all these pushups drunk is hard at my age...
In my mind I'm faster than Herbert.
Yeah but the first time you were hit you'd be in a coma.
Might have already happened. I don't remember.
LOL
same
I thought something similar last year; wanted to see what my 100 time was compared to U. Bolt. 3/4 of the way through, I blew up my hamstring. My wife and kids were rolling on the ground laughing at me. #justsayno
You, sir, have a great imagination.
Weird halftime interview with Fuente. Seems sad. Genuinely feel bad for him. Wish things worked out better. Wish him the best in the future. Hopefully he goes out with a bang
To me he looks terrified. Just afraid of saying the wrong thing...so he talks in circles.
He came across as....disinterested? Disconnected?
Said earlier he had 40 Covid tests. If they were all PCR tests his brain might be tired of being poked.
My brain is tired from watching his coaching.
If we blow the Hoos away Fu stays, calling it now.
*Not saying I agree..but that's what I think happens
This game has nothing to do with it. Only effect would be a blowout, lifeless loss (would push the BOV decision). Whit plays things close to the vest and is very methodical. No way he's making this decision based on the last game.
Yeah but don't underestimate the power of bringing back the cup in a rout...we'll see I guess
It probably depends on if we can find someone better and the recruiting class.
As much as I think it's time to replace Fu, I could never root for us to not blow out UVA.
Took the the trash talking from UVAh players for our team to finally play the best first half that I can remember since the season opener
Doesn't make up for the last half of the season, the shit recruiting, and inability to develop kids.
In my mind i'm taller than Herbert.......oh wait.....i AM taller than Herbert. HEY SHORTY....MAKE MOAR TOUCHDOWNS!
Yeah. Grow! What's wrong with you...baby body boy.
(Don't tell him I said that)
Hopefully we keep the pedal to the medal and curbstomp them in the second half. If Fuente is out may as well go out with a bang!
Tac Shaver works underwater, FYI.
That TacShaver guy shaving in the thunderstorm seems like he's seen some shit, and he's not okay.
My wife's thought is always, "Where do we have an active military presence in the jungle right now?"
That dude has serial killer eyes.
Why does he say "I never shave" when clearly he has 1-week stubble?
Just no credibility
I said this a few weeks back....if he never shaves, wouldn't he look like methuselah?
Anyone else giggle everything they say NUTS (...dot com)?
Savvy snackers
Miami sucks. We should kill them.
Wait...
But they bak!
So much for that being a quality loss to a top 10 team
Still a moral victory though. /s
Thanks Miami for fucking up with me taking you today in the TKP Pick six while i was tied for first place.... Dicks.
Shoulda known better.
On a positive note, I have thoroughly enjoyed watching KH have and incredible year running the ball so well, often right between the tackles. That has been sorely missing for a decade.
Amen!
If we had a better record, he'd be getting some Heisman consideration.
Yet, he'll wind up 2nd team All ACC, behind Carter and/or Williams and Etienne because Carolina and Clemson.
Going out on a limb. The first 2 drives of the second half will define things. If UVa goes right down the field and scores a TD and we do not score in our first drive, this will be another fold up and die by a Fuente team. If the score differential is the same or better as it is now after the first 2 drives, think we are in a really good position.
Better sign off soon as I've had enough brandy that I'll start trying in dumber things than I normally do.
Go Hokies!
D performed well
But then fake punt worked.
Then held to another three and out (2 in one series...that's got to be a record)
One day copper fit are gonna sell a onesie
Barno is back
Note: Barno is fast
Did UVA hire Cornelsen this week as a consultant?
Nice sack on second down. Good time to get another stop!
Great start by the D. Let's go score some more points
Welp
That made no sense. 3rd and long should be an easy conversion (sigh).
Shit!
Damn you Shibest
Yep. A stop there and a score on the short field would have probably ended the game.
Where is Reed on defense?
Gave up the fake - damnit!
That's why Deablo moved from WR.
It looks like JHam has dialed up the pressure.
3rd and 10 time for another stop!
I think you take the hold. 2nd and 21 is better then 3rd and 11
And our special teams muffs again. Defense is still fired up.
defense has really stood up tall since that first drive. Proud of that unit
Deablo has been 🔥. Man among boys out there.
Wonder if he sticks around for the extra year of eligibility or tries his hand at the draft?
Good question. Seems to be a mid to late round projection. Probably depends on the....coaching situation?
HOLY SHIT!!!! Spurtle in da HOUSE!!!!!
Spurtle social.
Drink
Like I need another excuse.
OH NO! Spurtles are back.
Where has this defense been all season? Playing with some life, some energy!
Maybe that Covid excuse has been a real thing all along! 🤔
No.
Spurtle sighting. We will win!!!
Hear me out, uva will let us roll them to try and save fuentes job for him
Jokes on them
Great way to open the half (fake punt not withstanding). The pass rush looks possessed. Tapp and Teerlink musta got after em in the locker room.
Did they have tuna salad in the 16th century when they invented the Spurtle? Seems fishy.
Not worth de-baiting
What are you salmon?
Mayo wasn't invented until Napoleon was emperor of France so, it wouldn't have been possible.
#spurtle
Haven't been able to enjoy a spurtle commercial in peace since the NC State game... ahhhh
No the spurtle!
Forced two 3 and outs on that drive
BB has got to sell the handoff and keep. He's got 50 yards of open field.
Not gonna lie...on YouTubeTv...I have no fucking idea what the spurtle craze is.
Laze and Burnop have not mention Spurtle once, either.
If you don't know, you wouldn't understand.
But I sure as shit can recite that entire ACC commercial by now
LOLUVA assistant coaches need to move the fuck out of the way after plays on their sidelines. Move clowns!
I NEED A SPURTLE
Well, spank me with a Spurtle.
If you act now, you'll get not one, but two.
did we just run it from under center? What is going on???
Did we just take a snap from under center? What's next? I-formation???
Fullback dive
TD here would be huge!
That stiff arm by Holston!
If we win this, Holston's stiff-arm there should become a GIF.
UVA is susceptible to the stiff-arm.
Wow! Mitchell damn son
What a catch by Mitchel!
Loved that stiff arm.
The donut dunks the defender for 11 yards!
BIG STONE GAP BITCHES
Mitchell what a catch!
Steeeef arm
BB balling out tonight
Where is Blackshear? I'm not arguing with it. He is our 3rd string clearly. but haven't seen him at all.
He's been out there, just not in the backfield.
Playing the role that he should be finally
Been in on a few plays (notably the screen pass BB threw in the dirt...cause it was blown up). He should be in the slot. Or getting the ball in space. Well put that in next year.
We are great at ruining a good drive with a terrible trick play.
Yea, seemed to be another brainless call. We were smashing them playing straight up. No reason for the cute stuff.
Another nice pass and catch by Mitchell.
Riding around on a scooter does not make you look like a tough football player.
Corny can't help himself with the stupid cute crap.
But it worked once. Three years ago. Against an FBS team.
We were having to much fun getting the ball to our playmakers and playing to their strengths
If a play has more moving pieces, it's clearly a winner
-Cornelson
I'm impressed by the way our offense seems more in sync when huddling. No more standing at the line for 20 seconds looking at the sideline!
Also doesn't allow the defense to see our formation for ages pre snap
Another drive where we score points. I like it; I LIKE IT!
