If he returned that INT for a TD he probably wins the MVP title instead of that Linebacker. He played very well though and I was glad he was not hurt on that special teams tackle.

Freeman still has it in my book.
EDITED: As the stats in the article indicate, he played in (and won) 2 Super Bowls and he played for a for a very long time. I think Kam is the heart of that D and they Dominated last night. He has a bright future!!!!! GO HOKIES!!!

Yes I did view it and you neglected to mention the former Tech QB that was a backup for the Dolphins that stepped in during one of their SBs and finished the game for them with a W.

Are you referring to Don Strock, who didn't accumulate any stats in either of the two Super Bowls he was in? I'd hardly put that in the conversation with "best performance in a Super Bowl by a Hokie."

No he didn't and that was very inappropriate and (not to mention) OT. I don't think any comments I've made on here have have warranted disrespect. But if YOU have a problem with me just name the time and place and I'll be more than happy (and capable) to resolve with you one way or another. Savy?

If you and anyone else bothered to read all of my posts I NEVER stated that I disagree or have any problem with Bitter's thread or article. Like just about everybody else on here I respect, admire and agree with just about everything he puts up (although if he does what vtfly suggests, that seriously puts his character into question). I was only interjecting another Hokie that played in a SB (Strock for the Dolphins). If Bitter feels that Strock's involvement and performance in the Super Bowl is not worth mentioning (as it would appear) that's his deal. I was just throwing his name in there. Don't really see anything wrong or counter with doing that. Jeeze, lay off the heroin (sarcastica) folks.

Bitter's article was about the best games Hokies have had in the Super Bowl, not every Hokie that's ever played in the game. Pierson Prioleau also played in and won a ring, but he wasn't mentioned either because he did nothing of significance.

I understand that. The reason I threw out Strock's name is because he saw time on the field and managed the game on one of the greatest dynasties in the history of the NFL. I also feel that Strock's position carried slightly more significance than Prioleau (not to knock him) who was at the end of his career.

I was actually referring to you penchant for attacking Bitter in multiple posts he has had. However it is rather interesting that you call me out for being inappropriate and then try to challenge me to a fight. Now THAT is really appropriate. Chill out.

Not so fast, compadre. YOU said fight. I only said resolve our differences one way or another and you CHOSE to interperate that as involving fists. And I never attacked Andy or his article. It would appear that you should lay it off.

I don't know if this is sarcastica or not, but I choose to give it the benefit of the doubt. As far as I'm concerned the issue is closed in lieu of the following convo. Commence "hug it out bitchez."

I did read the article. I think Freeman had the best performance so far. Kam had one hell of game and should have been MVP. All I can remember from the GB Super Bowls is Brett Farve and Freeman connection and of course Reggie White. I also had no idea about Hokie Football at the time of the GB Super Bowls, so I'm not being bias.

I think if he picks up the fumble instead of the linebacker, he wins the MVP. His hit on Thomas was definitely a highlight play. Set the tone for thoe whole game. I know Thomas still had 13 catches; but the message was clear, "If you want to run those slants across the middle, you better have your head on swivle". That play against Welker was heads up too even if the hit wasn't as fierce. And he was in on the special teams play too. All around a great performance from a fan favorite. Hope this helps DB recruiting.

He should have been the MVP anyway. Turnover's aside, it was his licks in run support that really set the tone for the game. Seattle was the bully, and the Denver backs and receivers cowered. Chancellor was the leader in that regard. I can't count how many big plays the Broncos could have had against a two deep safety, but Chancellor was there not only to make the tackle, but to drive Ball and Moreno back with authority.

I agree Kam should probably have been the MVP, and definitely had more of an impact than Smith, who was more fortunate in just being at the right places at the right time. But folks don't care about that when picking an MVP, they look at who made the biggest "flash" plays, and the most of them. A long pick-6 and a fumble recovery beats an interception, and that's how it's decided.
Not right, just how it is.

Had he returned his INT for a TD I think he would have got it. The MVP voting favors offensive stars but when no one stands out it gives the defenders an opportunity if they distinguish themselves. Malcolm Smith scored points and recovered a fumble to boot.

Question: has Antonio Freeman been nominated for the Hall of Fame? and Is he currently eligible? also have any other Hokies beside Bruce Smith ever been nominated?

ESPN's TMQ agreed: "Though it is hard to argue with the Super Bowl MVP going to a linebacker rather than a quarterback or running back -- Seattle's Malcolm Smith, 10 tackles and a pick-six, hoisted the award -- Chancellor got TMQ's MVP vote. His early interception, his pick, nine tackles, two passes defensed, including a jarring legal hit that caused Wes Welker to drop what would have been an important completion, and a bone-jarring early tackle on Demaryius Thomas, set Seattle's physical tone." Seattle's win could transform NFL

1) Yes, Kam set the tone for the Seattle defense. He personifies what they're about and played well. After the game, I wondered who would get it and thought Kam had a good shot, but was not going to waste one more minute on that dumpster fire.
2) Andy pwnage!
3) Freeman has a shot because stats. I'd go with Chancellor for two reasons: a) I was a Hokie fan when Kam went to VT, and 2) Recency. I remember Kam playing great in the SB like it was just last weekend.

Agree..with one minor tweak. I think Kam is the REASON that toughness is what they're about. I believe that defensive mentality was strongly influenced by Kam more-so than Kam fitting into a defense that already had said mentality. (But I'm looking at that through pretty thick O&M shades)
Recency
I love learning new words..I didn't know you could do that to 'recent'
I remember Kam playing great in the SB like it was just last weekend.
This!!

Recency in the serial position effect can be explained because more recent memories encoded will share a temporal context most similar to the present context, as the stochastic nature of time will not have had as pronounced an effect. Wikipedia

I love that tweet from Jim Rome. "he's the baddest dude in the building"
If he returned that INT for a TD he probably wins the MVP title instead of that Linebacker. He played very well though and I was glad he was not hurt on that special teams tackle.
What about Antonio Freeman?
My thoughts exactly.
Freeman still has it in my book.
EDITED: As the stats in the article indicate, he played in (and won) 2 Super Bowls and he played for a for a very long time. I think Kam is the heart of that D and they Dominated last night. He has a bright future!!!!! GO HOKIES!!!
Do you guys even click on the link I put up there? I list the stats of other Super Bowl performances by VT players.
Oh snap.
I did afterwards, admittedly. Posted on my gut feeling and your stats upheld it. GO HOKIES!!!!!
Welcome to the Legion of BOOM!

This is why we like you so much Andy! :D
Did you steal his/her lunch money as a child or sleep with his/her significant other, Andy? Dude has it out for you.
No he didn't and that was very inappropriate and (not to mention) OT. I don't think any comments I've made on here have have warranted disrespect. But if YOU have a problem with me just name the time and place and I'll be more than happy (and capable) to resolve with you one way or another. Savy?
I'm still trying to figure out what your problem with the article is.
If you and anyone else bothered to read all of my posts I NEVER stated that I disagree or have any problem with Bitter's thread or article.

I for one am extremely dissapointed you did not mention Tyrod Taylor! One of the Hokie's best QBs!
While I was ecstatic he got his ring (and trophy) the difference between Strock and him was that he didn't see any field time.
I was actually referring to you penchant for attacking Bitter in multiple posts he has had. However it is rather interesting that you call me out for being inappropriate and then try to challenge me to a fight. Now THAT is really appropriate. Chill out.

Hmm. The implication seemed pretty clear to me.
Let's GET IT ON!
Lol! Love this. But still an interpretation. Leg.
YOU are correct. I must have completely misinterpreted YOU. I am so sorry for doing so.
I don't know if this is sarcastica or not, but I choose to give it the benefit of the doubt. As far as I'm concerned the issue is closed in lieu of the following convo. Commence "hug it out bitchez."

I'm just here for gifs.

Bruce Smith. Had several monster games. Would have been MVP in at least one had the Bills actually one.
Question: has Antonio Freeman been nominated for the Hall of Fame? and Is he currently eligible? also have any other Hokies beside Bruce Smith ever been nominated?
Freeman is eligible, players have to be retired for five years before they are eligible but he hasn't been nominated.
Smith is the only Hokie to be elected to the HoF. I am not sure if any one else has ever been nominated.
Carroll Dale had 4 catches in those two Super Bowls. Four. man, how times have changed.

Very informative article. Especially enjoyed the BigUps to Virginia Tech for its study on helmets and concussions- GO HOKIES!!
I just now got to this thread...
1) Yes, Kam set the tone for the Seattle defense. He personifies what they're about and played well. After the game, I wondered who would get it and thought Kam had a good shot, but was not going to waste one more minute on that dumpster fire.
2) Andy pwnage!

To your first point, agreed!
