MADE THAT MAN APOLOGIZE FAM

Told my wife that crap would stop after halftime when a Hokie got to him. Appreciated the apology.

Reel men fish on Wednesdays

I missed this, what's the apology thing about?
I may have missed this because I didn't get home until after 1st Q. Sped through commercials on recorded game until I caught up at halftime.

This is going to be great for the ACC.

Color commentator apologized for calling us "Vee Tech" 4 million times

Ah, yeah. That was really annoying.

Ha, I forgot about that. The commentator called it a body slam and I'm thinking "you obviously never watched wrestling".

Deposit whiskey, receive wisdom.

Scott Steiner must have stopped by the practice field after watching BBall practice to teach some moves. /s

So I didn't get to wear my Skipper shirt for Louisville because I had to work that day...apologies. However, I was able to rock Skipper today and the good guys did the damn thing. The Hokies are 5-1 with my shirt (the loss being to FSU) and I'm happy to report that I have no other obligations this season that will prevent me from wearing my shirt. As the philosopher/poet Ice Cube said: today was a good day. FAMMMMM!!!!!

A little late -phone call delayed the watching:

1. Well done all around.
2. Kudos to the commentator for listening an owning his mistake (I'm assuming twitter/x hammered him)
3. Grant, I love the effort but seriously you're lookin like jack sparrow out there
4. Would have liked 50 but that's just pure greed on my part. Solid game
5. Ngl, they had me on the first possession...

I'm still figuring this out.

Can confirm. Twitter was hammering him. I was one of them.

I didn't have audio at the bar, what was this egregious error?

Plan for the worst and hope for the best, not the other way around.

Constantly calling us Vah Tech and VTech the entire first half

Yeah it was like having a rock in your shoe. It wasn't the end of the world but it was a constant irritation

I'm still figuring this out.

Vtech is better than Vah Tech.

It doesn't itch as bad either!

"Take care of the little things and the big things will come."

VT is better than either.

This is going to be great for the ACC.

but seriously you're lookin like jack sparrow out there

Sounds like a compliment to me

But you have heard of me.gif

Haha abosolutely, but not if you leave 7 points off the board

I'm still figuring this out.

BIG ROAD WIN AND ONE GAME AWAY FROM BOWLING FAM!!!

Ghosts of Louisville are purged. Playing with confidence, let's beat the Pack and get that bowl game, fam!

Also, kiss my ass Chestnut Hill. You ain't shit.

Holding the nation's top rushing QB to under 50 yards rushing FAM

Never Forget #1 Overall Seed UVA 54, #64 UMBC 74

Yeah drones kinda said casta-who? And put up a bill

I'm still figuring this out.

You have Drones with two more games under his belt and he'd be pretty damn close to top 5 among rushing QBs

As it is, he's 10th among QBs and tied for 104th overall.

Plus with him in there, the opposing defenses wouldn't have been keying on Tuten as heavily in the first two games.

I don't think it's outside the realm of possibility that they'd both have 700 yards at this point

Never Forget #1 Overall Seed UVA 54, #64 UMBC 74

No seriously, is Kyrun for Heisman a possibility?! I WANT TO BELIEVE FAMMMM

The kickoff prior to the onside kick I thought "it would be ballsy to go onside kick if we score again." The alignment for BC just looked like it was open for a surprise onside and I'll be damned if they didn't do it that next kickoff.

Can't believe MV7 never did it...

My wife takes the kids and leaves the house while I watch my Hokie games.........nuff said

I thought that stat was wrong immediately. Between Tyrod, Hooker, and Evans it seems impossible.

Edit: Tyrod did it three times, Hooker twice.

I think they meant in the half, and I'm not sure they're correct even then

Ah on the tweet it says half. On the tv screen it wasn't as clear.

agreed it didn't but by context clues I assumed they meant in the half because it was half time.

can we still somehow go to acc championship or has that ship sailed?

Theoretically maybe? But very unlikely based on who Louisville has to play still

I'm still figuring this out.

Need Louisville to lose to Miami on Saturday, then UNC (and VT obviously) to win out. That puts Lville, UNC, and Tech at 6-2. We would win that 3-way tiebreaker.

I LOVE THIS TEAM, FAM!

We have equaled the wins I required for this season to be a success.
Now win more

At least 30 points in each of those wins; 48 in this one and two of them were In dominant fashion. Plus we've had backups playing in the 4th in two games. Those things should be bonuses on the season.

So I still think drones is the sneakiest accumulator of passing yards. If some one asked me how many yards he had I would have said like 130ish knowing that he had 70 on one play.

I think that's 1. The run game and 2. These receivers (and TEs) can run after catch. Which is nice if you can afford it

I'm still figuring this out.

FAM

WHA'D I TELL YA

3-0 BRO

21st century QBs Undefeated vs UVA:
MV7, MV5, LT3, Grant Wells, Braxton Burmeister, Ryan Willis, Josh Jackson, Jerod Evans, Michael Brewer, Tyrod Taylor, Sean Glennon, and Grant Noel. That's right, UVA. You couldn't beat Grant Noel.

Some thoughts that may not make the film review.

Love the game plan, and Drones looked better in true drop back passing situations than any game in his career by far. He put the ball effectively in tight spots, and while he had more time than last week, it wasn't like he had all day. Bowen made a commitment to involve Drones in the running game in a way that flowed with the Hokies best tailback runs. Unlike last week, where Drones never seemed to keep on read option, this week we saw keepers on split zone read, the counter off the toss play, and the inside zone follow. That f'ed the BC defense up. Not only was Drones getting yards, but those runs early opened up room for the tailbacks.

Parker Clements, some who I haven't complimented much this year, had a real good game.

Defensive line and inside backers were poop again. BC pushed them around, and their misdirection tied up the inside backers. Jayden McDonald was the most effective of the three, while Lawson looked ok in obvious passing situations as a spy. But, against QB run, especially where BC schemed extra blockers... pee-ew. So, why did the Hokies blow out BC? 1) Strong's turnovers, and the offense kept BC off the field. 2) Jenkins and the secondary were freaking terrific in run support to minimize the big plays when the front got shredded other than the first BC scoring drive. Jones was better than you are probably thinking right now, especially when Delane handed off receivers in cover 2 to the boundary side. Strong was playing a lot of press man to the field. I know BC's passing attack isn't great, but that is asking a lot. Two picks and didn't get beaten over the top is answering the bell. Canteen was solid in run support (he made the film review.)

Biggest positives... good game plan, compete level, and enthusiasm. Big bounce back from Drones. And they didn't crap the bed after having success. The let downs were minimal.

Five star get after it 100 percent Juice Key-Playing. MAN

Clements ... had a good game ... except for when he cost us a TD on our first drive.

That wasn't on Clements. It was a snap infraction, Moore double snapped it and Clements jumped on the first snap. They called the penalty on Clements but it was 100% on Moore.

Agreed. He obviously double snapped it. Wasn't Clements fault at all.

I know we all had that feeling of, oh no, here we go again on BC's first TD drive.

"Take care of the little things and the big things will come."

French - and I'll defer to you but also would like to challenge as far as I can: it seemed to me that the defense was almost designed to contain runs , like a shell and then ball-hawk. I think we didn't get pressure because we weren't trying to.

Tommy isn't Matt Ryan, Dorian proved that; I think pry/Marve dialed bc in and they couldnt do anything else. All they had was the qb run and we limited that enough to where it stalled out on its own.

No notes on your conclusion: the letdowns/mistakes have been the hallmark of a very young team. They crushed it today

I'm still figuring this out.

It will be in the film review. The gap fits were lousy against QB run, but unlike previous games, the "last line of defense" in the secondary not only made tackles in space, but often did it while getting rid of blockers. There are some big time plays by Delane and Mose Phillips that I highlighted where they averted disaster when a LB busted.

Five star get after it 100 percent Juice Key-Playing. MAN

So fitting for DBU that the secondary is improving the quickest. Love it

Would you say it's improving at cheetah speed?

It was complimentary football that we played for the entire game. Big win!

FAM! No three-hour stomachache!

I took a nap during the 4th quarter! It was very nice!

Shout out to the Hokies FAM, when you get Ja'Ricous Hairston, who I had never even heard of, on the travel squad and in the game, you did some work.

im happy for pop watson. got actual playing time in front of all of his friends and family.

I been here since day 0.

He got a concussion infront of his friends and family

Not like he'll remember it

/s as someone who has had two concussions in my lifetime, I know it's no laughing matter

Never Forget #1 Overall Seed UVA 54, #64 UMBC 74

Definitely looked like a concussion, he didn't look right when he was walking around. I'm really surprised no one on the coaching staff or the refs noticed it.

The ref walked up to him to check on him. Strange that he didn't catch that though.

Tyrod did it Mikey, Tyrod did it!!

Credit where credit is due - seems like we have an OC who is building a game plan and calling plays to put this team in a position to be successful. Guy sees his talent (and lack thereof) and is getting above avg output from less that avg player (collectively). Good college coaching TBow.

Fam!!!

Pry and Co. somehow kept this group from having a hangover from last week. We might not be great. Hell, we might not even be good, but we are making some progress as a program! An I'm here for it. LETS EFFING GOO!!!

Is coronavirus over yet?

Didn't get to watch, but was keeping up through the ESPN app. The way I see it is that we were bound to lay a stinker at some point, and it just happened to come against a Louisville team who is much better than Tech at this point which exacerbated it. Great bounce back and it seems like we are right back where we were during WF/Cuse.

JUST FINISHED WATCHING THE GAME! DRONES DROPPING DIMES FAM!

Waking up to a three way tie for third place in the ACC after shellacking BC. Ain't bad! FAM

"Take care of the little things and the big things will come."

With UNC playing a rejuvenated Clemson, a win by us will put us all alone in 3rd. Add in a Miami win over Louisville and we'd be tied for 2nd

We could be going into Thanksgiving tied for 2nd in the ACC and bowl eligible.

Never Forget #1 Overall Seed UVA 54, #64 UMBC 74

Going into UVA bowl eligible will take away a lot of the Hoos motivation.

Plan for the worst and hope for the best, not the other way around.

We want a UNC win - if we win out, we need a 3 way tie breaker to occur not a head to head

Looking at the rules (which the ACC may interpret in a completely different manner) if Louisville, VT, and UNC are tied at 6-2 in conference, the following are the 3-way rules

1. Combined winning percentage head-to-head if all teams are common opponents. As UNC has played neither VT nor Louisville, this is skipped
2. If all teams are not common opponents, whoever won that other game. VT lost to Louisville, therefore VT is eliminated

Assuming Louisville has lost and UNC has won out, Louisville wins based on best win (VT).

If it is just a 2 horse race between Louisville and UNC, the tiebreaker is win percentage vs common opponents (GT, NC State, Pitt, Duke, UVA, Miami). In our scenario, Louisville would be 4-2,; UNC would be 4-2. Then it would fall to winning percentage vs common opponents based on those teams' orders of finish, which I think means GT, NC State, Pitt, Duke, UVA, and MIami's common opponents until all ties for placement are broken. I'm not doing that.

Never Forget #1 Overall Seed UVA 54, #64 UMBC 74

Here is the tiebreaker policy for 3 or more teams:
2. If all teams are not common opponents, the tied team that defeated EACH of the other tied teams.

ACC Tiebreakers

Exactly. Tie breakers 1 & 2 are N/A because the teams haven't all played each other and no team has defeated both the other two. So we get to point 3: Win % vs all common opponents.

NC State, Pitt, UVA are common opponents. Since the Hokies and UNC would have to win out for this...

UNC: 2-1 (loss to UVA)
Louisville: 2-1 (loss to Pitt)
VT: 3-0

It could still technically happen.

11/18 Noon Miami defeats Louisville in a coin-flip game (current line is UL -1.5)
11/18 3:30 Virginia Tech defeats NC State in a close run game (current line is VT -3)
11/18 3:30 UNC pulls off the upset at Clemson who gets caught looking ahead at their in-state rival
11/25: TBD UNC defeats NC State
11/25: TBD Virginia Tech wins and earns the #2 spot in the ACC Championship Game

Never Forget #1 Overall Seed UVA 54, #64 UMBC 74

None of these (individually) seems remarkably impossible. But, collectively, there's at best a 1% chance of all 5 happening.

The fact we're even discussing these scenarios in the middle of November is remarkable in and of itself. This has been a very good building year for this team. I'm impressed by the coaches and proud of the players. Moreover, I'm buoyed by a renewed faith that this staff can get VT back into contention for acc titles. I believe the coaching is there. Now they just need to go out and get talent. Particularly on the lines and at linebacker.

Onward and upward

According to ESPN, Miami has a 53.7% change of beating Louisville, VT has a 48.3% chance of beating NC State, and UNC has a 39.4% chance of beating Clemson. Tech has a 63.6% chance of beating Virginia and Carolina has a 64.2% chance of beating State.

So that gives us around 4%!

You don't put down that Parlay bet. You won't.

Plan for the worst and hope for the best, not the other way around.

If sports betting were legal in GA, I 100% would. Just throw $100 on it, and if you win, your trip to Charlotte is paid for! If you lose, well, you don't need to go to Charlotte for a game, so no big deal.

Yeah. Whenever I need Miami to win for conference standings or betting purposes, they always let me down. Of course when I take FSU(-14), Miami shows signs of life. So I guess what I'm saying is muck fiami

Missed the game live, but caught the 20-minute condensed game FAM!

247 projections have us in the Military Bowl vs future ACC member SMU

It would be the fourth meeting between the two schools; all three previous were played during the Bruce Arians era of VT football.

SMU holds a two game winning streak, while the Hokies' only win came during Don Strock's record 1972 season.

CBS also projects us to the Military Bowl vs Memphis....there may be some storylines there

FOX hasn't updated their projections and doesn't have us listed

Never Forget #1 Overall Seed UVA 54, #64 UMBC 74

I just want to beat NC State and force everyone to put us somewhere.

Guys. I was stuck at a kids bday party and had to listen to the game. You're welcome Hokie Nation, that one was on me.
