UVA players are soft. They drink cosmos and peach mojitos after big wins. Our cup probably smells like Seagrams escape.— James Gayle (@JGayle99) December 13, 2020

So drunk that it is hard to type. But great win. Hopefully we can make a bowl game, it will actually be played and we win that. But if not, still FAM!!!!!!!!

It made me sad watching the team embrace Fuente at the end. They obviously love him. To be clear, it's time to move on. But if this is his last game, what a great way to go out.

Put an accent on the last O and this will be correct.
Otherwise, what you just said was "I don't like myself" or, literally, "I am not pleasing to myself." Which... might still be correct?
(sorry, I can't turn the Spanish off)

I was drunk and didn't feel like trying to dig through my phone for the accented o. I took 5 years of Spanish. I know the rules, but just couldn't muster the effort.

Guy, just came off of Tre Turners insta live and he leaked some of Fu's post game to the players....I dunno anymore, but he cares about those kids. It was obvious.

Omg, yall really have way too much of a persecution complex when it comes to VT football and the media. They didnt even show the bath, maybe they missed it. Regardless, the announcers were bathing VT in compliments all game anyways. But no one mentions that part....

Why, because we won? How was the offense in the second half? 6 points, right? How's our recruiting class? Did he do something today like announce a new plan for engaging fans and the media? He's not going to be back next year.
Log in or register to post comments about the Virginia Tech Hokies
So you've missed the bazillion comments about how a HC needs to engage to fans and media? The only time it should be an AD's job is when he replaces the HC to someone who will engage the fans and media. I mean, unless you left out a /s, how many times do you see ADs addressing fans and media about the football program?
Log in or register to post comments about the Virginia Tech Hokies
No, but they are comments from a portion of the fanbase, not Whit. Whether Whit shares those feelings or not, I don't know.
And why would he announce fan and media engagement changes today, before the last game of the season against our in state rival. If he did that, everyone would (rightly) be on his shit for worrying about fan engagement instead of uva.
Be real - I know you hate Fuente and want him gone, but just stop. I am not happy with him either and would be happy for a change, but you're just making stuff up to be mad about.
And fan engagement is not the head coaches responsibility and Whit did announce changes a couple of years ago with respect to the fan experience.
Log in or register to post comments about the Virginia Tech Hokies
It's amusing you think I hate him. Up until this year I still thought Fuente could be the guy to get us where we want to go. And there isn't a reason he would announce a new engagement plan. That was my point in saying he hadn't earned another 12 months. Thinking he earned another 12 months because we beat UVA is an incredibly low bar and ignores all sorts of other stuff going on in the program. I'm not making things up, I was suggesting other things he possibly could have done to win more support for staying.

Like I said in the other thread - the decision was made before the football was kicked off tonight. I don't know what the decision is, but this game had no bearing on it.

The guys at Two Deep got David Teel on their UVa preview and he basically said it wasn't a done deal on Fu. Good chat with someone who has more ears in the program than a lot of us.

Thanks for the info. My Wut? was more a response to the implication that HokieStone made that I wasn't entitled to an opinion because I wasn't in the media.

No worries, and everyone should have their opinion heard. Honestly I had the same thought you did before talking to Teel. We beat UVA, that's all that matters today 👍

Your post reminds me of 1990 the same day after moving into Pritchard as an acne covered 17 year old... some guy comes walking down the hall selling "If Tech sucks UVA swallows" t-shirts. It was my introduction to the rivalry.

Update: Hungover and sleep deprived daddying is not as much fun as winning the Cup. It's like the 2 year old had no idea what happened the night before. What's worse is when I tried to tell him, he didn't even care. Where did I go wrong?...

Granted I would have liked more wins (especially games we SHOULD have won). But if we only could only win one game this crazy year, I am sure glad it was this one!

Man that game felt good. Start to finish. Deablo hitting the boom stick. Herbert and Holston gashing them left and right. Dax nearly fighting everybody. 2020 seems to be turning around. Wish the fans coulda been there to jump to sandman in the end. Uva can suck it.

That was an awesome win! Listening to the players in the postgame reminded me just how difficult this has been on them. Do we go bowling. I say he'll yes! Keep the streak alive. 28 FAM!

So many awesome instances of hoo tears on le Sabre tonight, but this cracked me up:

I wants GIFtory.
I wants GIFtory big enough to make up for all the losses from the last LOLUVa game to this.
I wants GIFtory to hold me over til next august when, hopefully, football is back again.
I want my phone to stop typing "wants" when I try to type "want a"

We're gonna need 2 threads to handle all the gifs from this game.
1) Conner and Deablo had a number of hits
2) Holston's stiff arming a player to the ground.
3) Strong's Int
4) Any if the sacks
5) Herbert
6) Tre's TD
7) Mitchell on punt return, cause our TE is that good. (shhhh, he's that good, no other reason)
8) Gatorade bath, though I don't think that was on tape.
9) Robinsons TD

Glad that Hoffman didn't get any dumb unsportsmanlike penalties during the game, but he went off on Twitter after the game.
Sucks you injured your ankle @csnoww3 and your boy @briggsjowon0 transferred cause man I was looking forward to kicking the 💩 outta y'all for talking crazy a couple months ago... since you two didn't "tighten up" I had to bully those bums @UVAFootball threw out there today🤣— Brock (@BrockHoffman76) December 13, 2020
Like I said last night. DD had enough of their cheap shot bitch asses. You can only take so much and with the UVA players trying to get one last cheap shot in at 0:00 it just shows what Bronco teaches them.
Log in or register to post comments about the Virginia Tech Hokies
I realize that this is a rivalry game and these are kids, but Hoffman needs to keep his mouth shut. As undisciplined as he plays he's the last person that should be spouting off. Plus it makes us look bad.

Showed it first half last week, but I agree.
More Hoo punches thrown in the post game than fans at the UVA Spring Game
THE CUP STAYS IN BLACKSBURG FAM! ORDER IS RESTORED TO THE UNIVERSE
Let's hope. Patient Zero for COVID-19 was confirmed to have become infected the day after.
I honestly forgot how good it feels to win. Go hokies god damn. Good game.
Let's Go!!!!!!
HOKIES!!!
We need more James Gayle tweets!
James Gayle wins the internet...again
Please let Bitter see this and then comment with his account here.
better advertising for beard growth than anything I could think up
Long time no see FAM!
It is very great to see your smiling beard back amongst us. We all hope u are doing well and glad ur enjoying this moment with all hokies.
Welcome back brother. I hope you are well!
I am. Been fortunate enough to be employed throughout the pandemic, and bought an engagement ring for soon-to-be Mrs Beard last week.
update: she said yes
Congrats!!! Happy to hear that, and happy to have you back. You're my second favorite beard.
Congrats man!! More reasons to celebrate FAM!
Im so happy for you Beard..... I was worried when you went away that we might never see you again. Welcome back brother, and welcome to the FAM Mrs. Beard-to-be!
Congratulations to you both! 🎉
So glad to see you back and congratulations on your engagement.
Where do we send the condolences cards to your Mrs.-Lady-Beard-to-be? (Just in jest, my fellow Hokie.)
TOO AMPED TO SLEEP, FAM
I absolutely love the PR department of the Commonwealth Cup! This is gold!
The sleep with one eye open reference though
*Chef kiss*
Exit light, Enter night!!!
Our Cup runith over
Fuck UVA.
Condaleezza Rice is a genius.
We won FAM! Despite Cornelson's best effort...
Hey, not his best, he actually allowed us to convert 3rd downs. He screwed up by not running QB draw.
This season has sucked. Tonight did not suck. I love you all.
Baby Yoda!!!!
So drunk that it is hard to type. But great win. Hopefully we can make a bowl game, it will actually be played and we win that. But if not, still FAM!!!!!!!!
I feel like my arms are shorter.
It made me sad watching the team embrace Fuente at the end. They obviously love him. To be clear, it's time to move on. But if this is his last game, what a great way to go out.
They were hugging him goodbye... Great win and the Cup is BACK!
FAM
The chick is Bronco and his cheap shot bitch ass
no me gusto
Put an accent on the last O and this will be correct.
Otherwise, what you just said was "I don't like myself" or, literally, "I am not pleasing to myself." Which... might still be correct?
(sorry, I can't turn the Spanish off)
I was drunk and didn't feel like trying to dig through my phone for the accented o. I took 5 years of Spanish. I know the rules, but just couldn't muster the effort.
Pro Android tip: holding O makes the accented versions show up. Can't help you on iPhone.
Holding any letter on iPhone makes all the accents come up too
I have no iPhone, but TIL. Glad it's standard.
My students now have no good excuse to send me Spanish emails with missing accents!
That UVA
That UVA
I do not like that UVA
To go with your Dr. Seuss theme:
All the Whos down in Whoville will all cry BOO HOO!
FAM! Defense balled out. Conner and Barno especially! Cup is back!!!
🏆AM
Guy, just came off of Tre Turners insta live and he leaked some of Fu's post game to the players....I dunno anymore, but he cares about those kids. It was obvious.
Yeah, it's tough, I think he's probably a good guy but just not the guy that's going to get us where we want to be as a program.
Looks like the boys gave him a Gatorade bath too
Which wasn't mentioned at all by the announcers.
The after affect was obvious on TV. They did it with about 2 minutes left.
Yes, I know. Saw it in tv. My point is that usually tv announcers say something when that happens.
Omg, yall really have way too much of a persecution complex when it comes to VT football and the media. They didnt even show the bath, maybe they missed it. Regardless, the announcers were bathing VT in compliments all game anyways. But no one mentions that part....
Remember that one time the hoos had the cup for a little bit?
That was when we should have known 2020 was going to suck azz. The universe went cuckoo and COVID was unleashed.... Damn y'all....we can't ever let them Wahoos win the cup!!!
It was all a dream - a bad dream, but just a dream, nonetheless.
This win will give Fuente another 12 months ...
His goose is cooked, but at least he went out on a high note.
Why, because we won? How was the offense in the second half? 6 points, right? How's our recruiting class? Did he do something today like announce a new plan for engaging fans and the media? He's not going to be back next year.
Is it the head coaches job to announce a new plan for engaging fans and the media - sound more like an AD thing to me.
So you've missed the bazillion comments about how a HC needs to engage to fans and media?

David Teel seemed to think otherwise, but you probably know more than him.
Wut?
The guys at Two Deep got David Teel on their UVa preview and he basically said it wasn't a done deal on Fu. Good chat with someone who has more ears in the program than a lot of us.
You know what is a done deal? The cup came home. Because This is Home!
Thanks for the info. My Wut? was more a response to the implication that HokieStone made that I wasn't entitled to an opinion because I wasn't in the media.
No worries, and everyone should have their opinion heard. Honestly I had the same thought you did before talking to Teel. We beat UVA, that's all that matters today 👍
Sauce?
Edit: I see above that you had Teel on your podcast.
Really? Arguing in the FAM thread?
Now hug and celebrate the fact we may suck, but HOO sucks worse?
Your post reminds me of 1990 the same day after moving into Pritchard as an acne covered 17 year old... some guy comes walking down the hall selling "If Tech sucks UVA swallows" t-shirts. It was my introduction to the rivalry.
I remember those shirts. One of the best shirts ever. I busted out laughing when I saw those shirts.
I had one of those shirts - got it back in '88 when I was freshman.
Yeah it's in his contract lol
FAM! It's great getting that cup back, and especially due to playing like the tougher team.
I award Mr Deilius the James Gayle Hoo Hating award. FAM!
I started into the good Bourbon with 5 to go in the 4th. FAM!
Bronco is a ho
Hot take: it's better winning the cup than not winning the cup.
Big if true
Hey FAM!
This is my favorite FAM thread ever! Go Hokies!
has anyone wondered over to see all the tears on the Sabre?
I have been debating it.
It started at the end of the first half lol
My two UVA friends I had a bet with surrendered at halftime and chugged their zimas.
More gold!
Brian Johnson 4-4 field goals including 3-3 from 47 yards FAM!
Army beat Navy. Hokies beat the Hoos.
The team is drinking out of the cup, i really hope they washed it first ... not because of covid, because you dont know where its been.
It's been filled with Zima and peach Cosmos....
Definitely wash it, we know it was in Charlottesville.
I got into the Bourbon solidly in the 4th, was it worth it? Depends on if the baby wakes up like 6 times tonight. But, hey, we got our damn cup back!
Update: Hungover and sleep deprived daddying is not as much fun as winning the Cup. It's like the 2 year old had no idea what happened the night before. What's worse is when I tried to tell him, he didn't even care. Where did I go wrong?...
Talking about football to a 2yo?
Start them young. He likes to watch it, he giggles when the people fall down (get tackled).
FAM!!
Hokie Club just sent an email, smart
They had this bad boy ready to go with a finger on the send button after that deablo int.
I'll donate tonight, but I am hopeful they'll give me a reason to donate even more on Tuesday.
Agreed. Step in the right direction
Got my email, gave my money...lol
Ha ha, you couldn't beat the worst VT team since 1992, Hoos. Eat a hefty bag of dicks, wahoo MFers.
Kemp was such a mouthy piece of garbage all night. My new least favorite Cav in a long line of least favorite Cavs.
He paid for it to, got some hits.
Need to photoshop some boo hoo tears into that beat tech shrine that loluva built in their facilities
We get a GIFTORY for the first time in a month!
I rarely laugh so hard I cry at things on the internet. This one got me
Oh my God that made me laugh too hard too
Holy shit that's comedic perfection. I can't stop watching it.
almost spit out my coffee - thats some funny shit
I have hiccups now...
CELEBRATE GOOD TIMES!! Come ON!
Kevin Sumlin is happy he's not named Bronco tonight
Just followed @CommonwealthCup again
Phew, that feels good
Granted I would have liked more wins (especially games we SHOULD have won). But if we only could only win one game this crazy year, I am sure glad it was this one!
Impressed by D, effort.
Mucho love to players for gutting out a suck-ass season and taking it out on the hoos.
fam.
Get to hold this over my roommates head until at least the first basketball game 🤪
FAM!
Those kids went out there and played their nuts off!
Deablo especially played his nuts off!!!
Deablo knocked some nuts off!
I love the fact that i went 5-0 in the pick 6 this week! Never doubt the Hokies! FAM!
Man that game felt good. Start to finish. Deablo hitting the boom stick. Herbert and Holston gashing them left and right. Dax nearly fighting everybody. 2020 seems to be turning around. Wish the fans coulda been there to jump to sandman in the end. Uva can suck it.
DRUNK.
FAM.
I loved the effort tonight! I just hope a lot of the guys come back next year! I REALLY wish we could get Herbert one more year.
I feel like our defense did really well, especially considering LOLUVA was averaging over 40 points the last 4 games!
That was an awesome win! Listening to the players in the postgame reminded me just how difficult this has been on them. Do we go bowling. I say he'll yes! Keep the streak alive. 28 FAM!
the Cup is Home, FAM!
Jeez that time of possession was really lopsided. We must have won by a lot
So many awesome instances of hoo tears on le Sabre tonight, but this cracked me up:
And that's the effects of your brain on Zima.
Commonwealth Cup be back in Blacksburg like
*clears throat* fam.
Good to have you back among us, Beard
Not sure yet if I'm back or just bak.
But I had to update the signature. The signature is bigger than all of us.
Happy for the players getting the Cup back, Fam
Did ur avatar flip?
Still drunk when the hellspawn woke me up this morning fam!
FAM! Who wants GIFTORY?
I wants GIFtory.
I wants GIFtory big enough to make up for all the losses from the last LOLUVa game to this.
I wants GIFtory to hold me over til next august when, hopefully, football is back again.
I want my phone to stop typing "wants" when I try to type "want a"
It has been a while. So time to unload! Luckily there should be plenty of material.
I want a GIFTORY for Christmas!
Only a GIFTORY will do!

Glad that Hoffman didn't get any dumb unsportsmanlike penalties during the game, but he went off on Twitter after the game.
Briggs is right though haha
I wouldn't be surprised if the acc penalizes some players for the postgame skirmish. Punches were definitely thrown.
The ACCN cut away so fast, there's no video evidence, right? Right?
The acc needs to penalized their shitty broadcast crew...all of them.
Anyone have video on this? I missed it.
Watch Drake Deiuliis on the end of the OL as we kneel on the ball...22:43
Like I said last night. DD had enough of their cheap shot bitch asses. You can only take so much and with the UVA players trying to get one last cheap shot in at 0:00 it just shows what Bronco teaches them.
You are a gentleman and a scholar. Thank you sir.
I realize that this is a rivalry game and these are kids, but Hoffman needs to keep his mouth shut. As undisciplined as he plays he's the last person that should be spouting off. Plus it makes us look bad.
Ehhh... After all the trash they talked during our COVID situation, I'd say it's well deserved.
Ehh- A lot of shit talking coming out of C-ville earlier this season. I got nothing adverse to say of anyone that despises the Yahoo's as much as I do. Dump a little more salt in that wound. Yee Yee!

Sometimes birthday wishes do come true!
Happy BIrthday Kville...was my wifes yesterday too!
Happy birthday Kville and happy birthday to your wife Topher!
This year has been shitty in a ton of ways, but beating UVA is always a good thing.
Can we please call the loluva assistant coaches the clown squad or is that offensive to clowns?
No, clowns are scary, uva doesn't terrify anyone.
Wait wait wait... Condoleezza is a tech fan?!
I think she was in the Bush admin when he came to give a speech at tech after 4/16 happened.
She was the celebrity picker and the only one who predicted us to win.
Literally the only one.
And that's why she should have been on the playoff committee
hopefully we're back to the first pane by Wednesday/Thursday
nope
Same. I have been mourning since Tuesday afternoon. Felt like I lost a pet. I just can't care about VT football anymore. I'm not willing to get emotionally invested in a team destined to lose 3 or 4 games a year to teams they shouldn't
