Lets GO!
HOKIES!!!
Stone cold sober for this. Not optimistic, but here. Let's go
I've spotted your mistake.
Already 3 old fashioneds in
HOKIES!
Checking in and now I'll be checking out.
This just in.....Fuck Miami.
Ill be trying to catch the game as best I can with no power. Not happy with Hurricanes right now 😡
Fuck it we winnin
Cheers to hopefully doing a lot of push-ups!
*edit: cheersing with Sierra Nevada Oktoberfest Festbier, Gutmann Collab Edition
Mikey asked Pry on the pregame show about slow starts and Pry said he told his coaches to start at the bottom of the call sheets and go up (paraphrased). I guess that's one way to try something different?
It has been a wild day, and I forgot this game was today until about 2 hours ago.
Let's inject some spice back into this rivalry and get a W boys!
I'm debating watching this or going to go paint some miniatures... I just don't want to watch us get embarrassed as the whole country watches. Idk if I'm strong enough to be a hokie fan rn tbh hahaha
Let's beat these fuckers so I don't have to hear their shit for another year.
LET'S FUCKING GO!
HOKIES!
Alright Pry, it's time to show us you're ready for the bright lights.
Was kinda hoping I lost power so I didn't have to watch this.
Lots of empty seats at Hard Rock.
Yeah...typical lame ass Miami shut. 4-0 and a prime time game? Half empty.
.
that's pretty standard
They are Top 10. It is embarrassing.
Eh, people way overestimate the amount of students at Miami. Plus the stadium is like a 45 minute bus ride away. And their adult fans suck. So it's kind to be expected
What a start!!!!
He didn't have the ball to attempt a pass.
Three and a half hours of this, please, even if they take the fumble away.
good start..
I want us to win for two reasons. Obviously I'm a Hokie, but also I don't want to have to listen to the commentators give Miami a handjob all night.
Those are the breaks...
LETS FUCKING GOOOOOO!
I like that.
Tuten, Tuten, and more Tuten.
Good. Fuck Miami.
Bowen already in his shell
FUCK YEAH!!!
EDIT: Blocking out everything after this.
Drinking! Jinx!
FUCK YEAH!
Go Hokies!!!!
STEP ON THEIR FUCKING THROAT
hey, I like that
TOUCHDOWN TECH
Good. Fuck Miami.
Let's freaking go!!! Heck of a play by Drones there!
Nice to see him step up and keep the play alive instead of just taking the sack.
WHAT A START!
Nothing like a get right game against the #7 team in the nation, am I right?
Not nice to get my hopes up right off the bat. I'll take it though, let's keep it up!
FOOTBALL!!!!
Keep it going boys!
The scoring streak is still alive!!!
Sitting at my desk, with the Hokies on the TV, the Braves on the right monitor, TKP on the middle, and a beer in front of me. LIFE IS GOOD! GO HOKIES!
Nice
THAT'S 7 PUSH-UPS TIME TO OPEN AN OKTOBERFEST
Couldn't have scripted a better start!
Like, I still don't think we're going to win, but the little hit of fear we just put into Miami fans who remember the history of this rivalry makes it all worthwhile.
Who is wearing 25?
Keonta Jenkins
Miami taking a TO less than 4 minutes into the game seems like a good sign.
Miami forced to take an early time out. I am willing myself to not get too excited.
I will not get my hopes up. Miami will settle in.
They can settle in in the fourth, after we're up by four scores.
Terrible spot.
I'm already drinking, lol.
Horrible spot.
Fun while it lasted
oh lawd, here we go
Welp
I think Lovett has potential but I don't want him 1-on-1 with these guys.
Ward is throwing laser beams, dang
Cristobal looks nervous as hell.
Or he's constipated......I don't know.
Miami and penalties. The perfect match.
That was too easy.
Least this is wards last year
Any idea what the unsportsmanlike was? Also, def hold? The TV coverage is poor and can't see a hold.
Unfortunately, Ward can really throw the ball.
NIL has created this...Miami was never gonna develop their own QB worth a shit
Barstool Sports owner Dave Portnoy committed to giving Michigan whatever they need to get a top 10 portal QB every year.
That was a goddamn pretty throw, put just in the right spot between two defenders that only his guy could get, and it hit him in stride. If he'd not been in the endzone, that would've had a bunch of YAC.
Why can't we get QBs like that, and have to settle for their cousin?
And said cousin throws it behind his receiver, where it goes out of his hands for an INT. /smdh
There it is
damn
wut.
Ugh. Gotta catch that.
Could've done without that.
That was a bad break.
Threw it behind Green. Bad throw.
That needs to be caught but can Drones hit someone in stride. Seriously?
..welp that was fun for 5 min
Ugh.
Drones and Greene both at fault on that
That was a terrible throw to an open guy
.. yeah, behind him
That's the VT we know
That is why we have been neglecting throwing over the middle on intermediate routes
Oh boy.
Dang like half their team is transfers
Their boosters gave them an open checkbook to go buy a team. Did the same with basketball.
Meanwhile, we seem to have somehow bought all the wrong players lol. Went out and got Cunningham from the portal and don't really play him.
Welcome to modern college football.
If you can't beat them, buy them.
Even Miami can't fuck this up. They're buying proven commodities.
Using their Healthcare $$ to do it.
If we're going to bite on a fake like that then I'm done watching
For real.
Clown show
Defense gonna get killed tonight.
That was an excellent play by Miami.
Statue of Liberty
Ah, this is the game I expected!
It was a fun 5 mins of hope but that's all she wrote I'm afraid.
Our safeties stink
Our defense stinks
oof
That was terrible...no one even bumped him coming off the line
They were probably thinking that they did a great job avoiding his block.
Fun while it lasted
Giving them all the easy stuff. This is going to be a rough night.
Ouch
Timely commercial. Funny, but ouch
We are such a horribly coached team. Absolutely 0 discipline
Nothing like a get put in your place game against the #7 team in the nation, am I right?
Why can't our defense take care of their assignment. Whichever back had that receiver cheated to stop the fake run instead of staying with his man.
Chris Marve shouldn't even be a defensive analyst, yet we have him as DC.
hah i know not to get my hopes up
Big test for Pry now. He needs to get the team to punch back.
Good FD by Drones.
We get a rare break where we capitalize on. Then tell our opponent who fucked up and say, "Hold my beer".
Cannot deny that offsides.
Their DL jumps offsides, coaches immediately yank him off the field and reading him the riot act. Never see that from our coaches.
Hey, that was Drones actually changing the play.
I'm not sure I noticed that before this season.
Liked that sneak...
These refs are giving out some BRUTAL spots. I thought Miami was short on that 3rd down and Tuten pretty clearly got that first...
Same on that Green catch
Yeah that may have been the most egregious one. And not a single review yet.
Gotta get Lane involved
That pass was going to Lane.
Hell, I'll take it.
We need a play where the defensive line leaks through our OL and we take advantage of that.
Our running plays are very slow developing
That was nearly a disaster
Green has it going on today.
Cmon Felton.
Felton has to catch that!!!!
Hope Felton isn't mad about touches. Huge drop right there.
It's noticeable how much more communication and shifting Miami's D has than ours.
Makes the QBs job so much harder when they can't easily predict what's coming.
Gotta like that we are grinding and keeping the ball out of Miami's hands.
Man, if Drones could connect...
Yet again, Drone threw behind the receiver. UGH
Clock chewing methodical drive. This is what we need.
Well, shit. I hope Braelin's okay there
Hopefully just a tweak, but that's a good mechanism of injury for an MCL sprain
Putting together a nice drive here. Playcalling has been decent. A little better execution and we may have scored by now.
So Parker Clement's actually blocks someone, except he threw him into his own guy and injured him.....
When's he's not sacking Drones, he's doing this..
Going to be interesting shifting on the OL after the injury.
Opportunity to learn something?
Fuck. Too cute.
Wtf
He wasn't anywhere near the pocket
That explanation made no sense whatsoever
Lets never try that again, Tyler.
Solid drive killer there
Strange call. Int ground?
Oh, he was outside the tackle box.
Yeah. Grounding when he was hit as he threw. Horseshit call.
A WR getting called for intentional grounding. Only us.
A RB with intentional grounding. Don't see that everyday.
How is that intentional grounding? He was out of the pocket and it went past the line of scrimmage
He was way outside the box when he threw that ball and was being hit
Decent explanation though by the announcers. Never knew that grounding protection goes away for non-QBs.
I'll be happy if we play decent and can hang around.
So is intentional grounding called differently for a RB versus QB? He was outside the tackle box and threw the ball past the line of scrimmage...
Just got my answer, wondered if that was the case
Perhaps I should do 19 intentional grounding pushups
bullshit come on
lol. whew buddy
Outside of the box and past the LoS. What the f?
That reason made no sense.
Everybody and their mom knows a screen is coming on second and long. Why not throw a slant and get nine yards back?
Fucking had a FG at least.
Bowen actively taking points off the board with his horseshit calls.
I have never heard that rule about the person receiving the snap being the only one protected by intentional grounding before
I feel like that rule was pulled straight out of their ass.
Woody Barons brother is the one that is down.
Lol that's as blatant a flop as it gets
Right in front of the fucking umpire too
That play got blown up because the Miami defender trusted his teammates and stayed that he receiver. Unlike our defender.
Drones...he ain't it throwing the ball. Off target and behind the receivers constantly.
Yeah, he is off today.
He's been off all year
It's time to admit he can't throw
Also major indictment of good ol Blacksburg boy Crist at QB coach. Hire a freaking real QB coach.
This season.
Well at least the defense got to rest before miamis next touchdown drive. /s
We had momentum., in FG range and then decide to get all fancy and get flagged 15. Then decide to throw a ball 8 yards behind the line of scrimmage and it's 3 and 22.
Unbelievable. We did this all by ourselves.
Must not be hungover tomorrow. Must not be hungover tomorrow.
Putting three blockers between APR and Ward is genius
Somebody else has to step up
Its called gameplanning.
Something neither of our coordinators know how to do.
God. What a throw by Ward.
Hate to say it, but dude can straight ball.
Right now this game is the difference between a QB who can throw and a QB who cannot
Brent Davis might as well take over and install the Army triple option offense fully. Drones most valuable asset is his strength and legs. Super inaccurate throwing the ball.
He can't hit a 5 yard crossing route
His passing is completely cooked. And you cannot have an effective offense with a QB who cannot hit a 5 yard crossing route
It's amazing how bad VT has been at getting QB talent the last several years. One of the most important positions and we just never seem to get someone who can play the position well.
We know which cousin got all the accuracy genes.
There was no defending that pass.
Since Ward and Drones share a coach, can he teach Drones to throw dimes like that.
get a stop on one 3rd down, please
Apparently not.
Miami has only punted 4 times this season.
Strong was there, the pass was just perfect.
Jesus fuckin christ.
An incomplete pass would be nice.
Can we make it any easier for them?
alright, were getting to that tipping point, I think.
No pass rush.
Or coverage.
Does Pry actually believe we are only a half step away from Ward? At minimum, we are three steps off him. He has all the time in the world to throw.
damn that catch was good on Sundays
Pry sounded already defeated and exhausted there...
That was a ridiculous catch. Glad it didn't stand
Those dudes are catching everything. Ward is accurate as hell.
To be fair, the pass was accurate, Mose just took it away. Need more of this. Players on offense need to step up, and Drones needs to get his head screwed on straight.
Finally! Heck of a turnover!
MOSE!
Jacory Harris is Cam Ward's mother!!!
We can only hope
Outstanding.
Mose Philips!!!
That was a helluva bait by phillips
A Mose play where targeting isn't involved is very ideal.
Handed him the lunchbox.
Nice pick!!
A little Beamerball has been sighted!
TUTEN BABY
TUTEN BABY
TUTEN!
Omg
Mose!!!!
Just got the game on to see us score!! We're not shut out!
But why Tuten gotta brace??
He got tweaked up against Marshall (maybe ODU), been in a blue jersey at practice apparently. Sounds like more precaution from what I've heard
Toot toot!!!
TOOT TOOT MOTHERFUCKERS!
Toot toot!!!
SCOOTIN TUTEN!
Tuten is trying to single handedly save this offense.
Toot toot MFers!!
Holy hell, we somehow have a ballgame.
Good. Fuck Miami.
Toot toot!!
I know he just broke off a big one, but is Tuten ok? How long has he had the brace on the knee?
The brace went on during the ODU game.
They have had him in the blue jersey since.
Damn, I guess I couldn't see it last week because I was watching from my phone at a wedding.. and simply didn't notice the week before that.
Been wearing a brace over the last 2-3 games.
Holy shit. I just realized we've gotten 2 TDs off of 2 turnovers. Jesus, when was the last time this team did that?
F it.
19 for the intentional grounding and 10 each for the fumble and the interception. Gotta get some positive vibes
7+19+10+10=46
And cracking open another 12 oz of calories
I try to get most of my calories from beer.
.
As someone who has worked in the brewing industry for nearly 20 years, I know first hand that's not the healthiest way to live.
Certainly the most fun however.
What? It's all natural.....no processed crap! Nature's ingredients!
TUGGGGGGGGG BOAT THEM BITCHES
Gotta love tuten there....no waving at the crowd, no dancing...just all business. Let's get back to work attitude.
HE only goes into the crowd in Charlottesville. ;^)
*See my signature*
TOOT TOOT MFR
Well, is this fools gold hope or did we just do good football on both sides of the ball?
Whatever it is, I'll take it.
Oh shit!!! I was slightly behind, right as I hit "post" Tuten goes for 7!
7+19+10+10+14=60
Even if we don't win this game, I'm pleased to see the fight in our guys.
"First half fight"
Complementary football. What a concept!
Jesus Christ I did not expect this. I'm not getting my hopes up yet, but man is this a nice surprise.
I'll get my hopes up when we got a non-turnover defensive stop
My hopes!! They're up!!
There's one. Too early for hopes though😂😭
I can handle those kinds of 3 and outs
Who needs sustained runs?
I'm thinking the TKP member that ran the numbers stats we do explosive plays has been sufficiently supported.
It is my unbiased opinion that Mr. Tuten is a pretty good football player.
You mean "Mr. Cuteness"?? We all saw that edit
Have no idea how that got in there
3rd and long, please nothing ridiculous
Why for the last few years does it seem like our defense goes to engage the blocker, rather than the ball carrier? Half the time in space it feels like we set our own blocks
This x1000
Sure looked like a hold to me.
Ward is the real deal.
Pretty happy with the run D so far.
DL either has to start getting home or Marve has to ball-up and blitz
Ask and you shall receive!
3rd and long.
... can we get a stop? are we allowed? lol
APR!!!
FUCK YEAH APRRRRRRRR
finally. APR
APR!!!
good return
Seemed like we faked out Miami pretty good on that return......I like it!
Got the camera man too
Faked out the camera man at least
Love that competent special teams play! Great play setup.
Not gonna lie.... Kinda like the trick punt return... maybe try someone other than XTB next time though
Miami's QB is a good one but good grief, remove his peewee outta your mouth
Yeah I'm a bit tired of hearing them slobber over him tonight
Stupid internet is still out. Be nice to be able to watch this one
Great stop and I was totally lost who caught the ball on the punt return. Love it nice return.
Sheesh. Mr. and Mrs. Gosnell stayed busy.
That's a lot of redheads, probably Irish Catholic.
Keep em on their heels boys!
Good to see Lane involved.
Now Tuten's doing Tuten things.
Tugboat Tuten?....OK I'll allow it....
good. good.
Now imagine hitting Lane on a slant
Go go go keep it hurry up
I can't be the only one thinking it.... Poor momma Gosnel
Drones should kept that one.
cbp showing fire. he gets the hate.
Drones with the motherfucking block there!!!
What a block by Drones
wowzers
Gotta love that block by Drones.
Laaaaaaaaane!
QB BLOCK
Stay out of his Lane!!!!
Kyron Drones. Lead Blocker.
Who the fuck...what the fuck...where the fuck has this team been?!?!
Hiding in the locker room during the first halves.
Well we did go 2-2 in the preseason...no need to show all your cards until now!
My thoughts exactly
It's got to be the 4th quarter playbook weaving its magic.
Feel like this scene is representative of Bowen figuring out running plays all game and not just in the 4th is beneficial:
Maybe we should move Drones to OT? I kid, I kid.
I want all the pussy touchdowns!
Gimme all the pussy touchdowns and all the dork magic.
FUCK. MIAMI.
Put drones at tackle and Schlee at QB
Holy balls is this real?
Imagine playing like this against Rutgers or Vanderbilt...womp womp
That was the preseason
New theory: Pry treats non-conference games as exhibitions.
Beamerball lives!
It's the Beamer way!
I'm speechless. Were Marve and Bowen playing the ultimate long con during the OOC games?
Teach the receivers to block like the QB.
Teach the
receiversline to block like the QB.Crooks better hold that over the line.
Drones looks like a lean athletic offensive lineman blocking like that
Hands up, feet chopping, contact sustained
Our best offensive lineman is our quarterback....who knew?!
Yesssssssssss, adding in 5 for every APR sack
7 + 19 (idiot play) +10 (FF recovery) + 10 (int) + 14 + 21 + 5 (APR sack)
= 86
We have now scored more than any other Miami opponent this year. It is the first half.
Fuck yes!
No no no no YES!
Who are these guys?
Or D is really trying hard.
I'm happy to see the way they are playing. I will not get my hopes up until the clock hits 00:00
c'mon, get the stop and take the crowd out
damn
Jesus. Gotta bring him down there.
Peebles is a not gonna live that down for a while
Chance to get off field, blow it...par for course
Oh now they're going to review a fucking spot
Sure, review their shitty spot.
Damn. That offsides hurt
Against my better judgement, I checked the score. Holy crap, we are winning?!? I'm logging off and not turning on the game to try and keep the good momentum going. Cheer twice as loud for me and drink twice as much.
I got you, man.
Take one for the team.
I'll keep finding prop pushups
Covering for you too Chris!
Got you, fam.
I mean, I get it because they're legit this year, but these announcers need to crawl out of Miami's ass at some point for air.
FUCK. YOU. ZEBRAS.
That's Bullshit...receiver ran himself out of it
They sure are chasing Ward pretty hard in the backfield but we got to bring him down!
That's a bad call
That pass went incomplete, but our DB in pursuit was lookin a bit winded...worried about that as we move forward, need to get to halftime
I saw it too. I was literally gonna say that depth might be an issue down the stretch
FUCKING STOP EM!
SACK!
Ward thinks he's Vinny Testaverde with that sidearm.
Good. Fuck Miami.
APR spying on that one.
Oh yeah, that was a textbook. Take up a lineman at arms length and keep dancing to keep off your heels then grab the QB.
nice. nice.
let's give em a heavy dose of run game to end the half
time to grind the clock, get some kind of score, and get the ball to start the second half.
Wouldn't it be nice for Tech to score again before the half?
You goddamn right it would be.
Fuckin count me in
yes. let the clock run. nice
Wow just wasted 25 seconds fucking around and let it get to the 2 minute warning....basic shit
Score here and have a chance at a three score lead after opening 2nd half with the ball
I'd rather we run the clock out and nobody score than risk giving them the ball back with time on the clock. I think that's what we're going for right now.
This. Plus our defense is gassed. Don't need them going right back out there.
Then they pass again and Drones throws it away rather than take a knee
At the very least, VT has put a halt on the 3 hour Cam Ward felltio-fest that ESPN had planned
why not run
Wtf
Tuten averaging 10 yds a pop why did we not run there?
Timeout to call a screen...100%
Nope....that's the long con paying off with a qb scramble!
thank you thank you thank you
Drones picking it up one way or another
I don't think even the most loyal Hokie fan was expecting us to be ahead this late in the 1st half. Let's go Hokies!
HUGE play by Kyron.
Jesus, good thing he started running when he did, almost got caught from behind.
Eyes in the back of his head
Injured player. Feelings hurt after being run over by Drones.
Ayden Greene quietly having a nice day!
Parker Clements just complimented on national tv. all y'all take a shot lol
oof almost an int
damn it. lol
Ugh. Bad sack there.
Go for it.
Why leave 25 seconds on the clock here?
We called timeout for them???
Why did we call a timeout there?
Ugh I wish we'd have run on that 3rd down
Telegraph QB draw.
That's 2 FG Bowen has moved us out of.
Holy shit, nevermind
These announcers can suck my dick.
Sorry, their mouths are already full.
go for it lol, why not
We ave a solid ypc, why not do it there?
NAILED IT!
Holy shit!!!!!!
John Motherfuckin' Love!!!
holy shit Love!
58 YARDS!
GAHT DAYUM
HOLY HELL, WHAT A LEG
Woohoo!!!
I love Love!
He KILLED that ball. Good God.
That's a fucking bomb.
What a kick!!! From 58!
That's Brandon Aubrey range.
Jesus fucking Christ! What the fuck is going on tonight?!?!
Hell yea Love!
JESUS- THAT WOULDA BEEN GOOD FROM 70!
That's a big balls kick
Holy shit
yeah that kid is kicking on Sundays
Love that Love!
Don't kick, I can't believe we are kicking...holy shit he made it!
Damn. But why didn't we just run into 3d and let the clock drain. Why did we call a to with 25 sec left and give them time??
And 20 seconds haunts us now....fucking coaching
kicked the snot out of it
Why let them get a return????
58 yarder!?!? I feel like I'm watching my Steelers!!!
7 + 19 (idiot play) + 10 (FF recovery) + 10 (int) + 14 + 21 + 5 (APR sack) + 24
= 110
I hate squib kicks
why for the love of God did we not kick that in the end zone?
Young guys stepping up tonight.
that was a play on the ball!! bad call
That receiver fell down on his own
Horseshit. He totally fell down on his own.
Fire these coaches out of a fucking cannon bro. They took the TO twenty seconds too early.
Right!!! You could've ended the half with the fg. 🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️
Poor call.
The to there with 25 sec was a horrible idea wtf
Phantom PI like USC in 2004. =^/
Refs have been in picking their spots. ACC will have a little extra in their checks this week.
Block it
I can't believe there's still a whole half left in this game.
I know right? Has been one of the longest halves I can remember. Two hours.
ABSOLUTELY BRAIN DEAD TIMEOUT
Cool, except why the fuck would you not let the clock run down or force them to use their timeout? And then why the fuck would you not kick it through the end zone for a touchback? This coaching staff boggles my mind
I hate the squib kick.
Damn. These kickers are dropping bombs
Whoever called that last timeout should forfeit their game check
God damn it, this is one you Pry. WTF
Both NFL and College kickers are now built different. These balls are going through with so much room to spare.
Fuck.
Team plays their balls off 1st half.
We trick play our way out of a chance at 3 and then gift them 3 to end the half
We might not have good coaches.
What is the VT record for long FG?
I know the record for FG attempt....
I believe that we just saw the record
Tuten with 90 yards on 10 carries at half
Miami's top two rushers combined for 8 carries for 24 yards
Was just gonna post this.
Welp. Who had us up by 7 at half on their bingo card? Not me. That's for sure. God I hate how much this team gives me hope.
My wife is sitting next to me telling me not to have hope- that they'll just break my heart. And god damnit I know she's right but I want to believe so bad
Fuentes blunders against Notre Dame and Syracuse are currently weighing heavily on me. And I know these are different teams, but those feel recent.
I was about to say something to the effect of "dude that was like 2 years ago"..... and then I realized it was not...
Exactly where I am.
Now that we are in it, I want to win.
...and our coaches make sure to remind me right before Half why I'm probably going to be really disappointed.
Alright everybody, confession time on why we're doing well. My wife several years ago got me a variety of different plaid and stripe print work shirts. There's this one that I put in the back of the closet because it's UVA colors. I got up this morning for work and it was one of the first clean shirts I saw, so I begrudgingly put it on. And here we are. Has to be working, it's science.
I was outside throwing the football with my son earlier, bouncing around to Sandman and the Marching Virginians. Gotta be it.
I know what it is. I have a maroon shirt on but, it's a Harley shirt, not a VT shirt.
Must be. I think you should marry her. Your wife, I mean.
ESPN box score says we hit a 57 yarder and they responded with a 56 yarder. what a bunch of slackers. kick a real fg Miami lol
Up by 7 on the road and getting the ball to start the second? Agaunst the anointed #7 Miami? I'm not gonna dwell on the clock management now. I'll deal with that after the game. Don't want to kill my high and the teams karma right now. I'm gonna ride the positive momentum.
Are there any advanced stats on the success of the squib kick? Anecdotally, I feel like it never works as intended.
That end of half is killing me. If we lose this game by 3 less than 7 it's on Pry for that debacle of ending the half.
Who doesn't take the clock down to 3 sec and kick it. Make it? great miss it? Ok. Either way half is over. Wtf
.
So, in my dream last night, I missed the first half and when I tuned in for the second, we were up 45-10.
Didn't quite get that score line, but I'll take it.
Now if spectrum could just get the fucking internet fixed, I could watch the 2nd half
got to be honest, I think you need to do exactly what you're doing because while inconvenienced, it's working.
Holding strong, not watching the game (mainly because I have no choice)
Calling a timeout on 4th and 10 with 25 seconds left is an all time worst coaching decision ever call. Nobody mention freezing the liberty kicker ever again
As complete a first half as we have seen in a while.
I got to watch the first half at one of the DT restaurants with power... but I won't be able to watch the rest (phone is dying on low power mode). I'll be score checking but HOLD ON TO THIS ONE FAM
Meanwhile, Rutgers is up 13-3 at half on Washington.
All due respect- can you not...?
I mean yeah we knew that Rutgers was a quality loss
This is how I feel about the squib kick....as that was the biggest bullshit item between the TO, stupid kick and PI call. Now MIA gets to go into the locker room with the momentum. That's a big deal too. 10 pt lead and momentum. Now we have neither
grant it, we have an absolute surprising lead at half. I'm tickled pink but VT is a so the team to let itself lose the 2 score lead with only 15 seconds left in the half.
Alright let's come out and get points. Just points.
you gotta specify. points for us
Fair assessment
I just put my old Suggs jersey on under my Eddie Royal jersey. I'm allowed to do this because I live in.....New Jersey.
Time to turn it up to 11 and let Tuten and Drones run fucking wild.
Wearing my Danny Cole jersey.
Total whiff again by clements
They've figured out that pitch play, Tyler
According to Andy Bitter, with photo evidence, we had 2 #17's on the field for our field goal and got away with it
Nobody tell DC
Shhhhhh!
nooooo
yes
Benji stepping up his blocking tonight.
I see we plan on running down the clock and grinding them down this half
I approve this message!
I'm ok with that. Keep the ball outta ward's hands.
I will not get my hopes up. I will not get my hopes up. I will not get my hopes up.
We are a second half team right??
Love is the god damn man
I've seen enough. Let Love try from 70.
The holder on that FG, kid earning his scholarship!
Great start. Just get points was all that mattered.
Two score lead!
Noticed ESPN moved the target field goal line back from the 35 to the 40 for Love
His range is the playing field.
Respect
That's funny. I wonder if the 'computer' bases it on real time stats of kicks made.
Johnny On The Spot!!!
Let's not squib this kick.
Touchback, bitches!!!
looks like they're gonna try their hand at running more
shit, not APR
He doesn't seem too concerned (smiling). Assume cramps or get punched in the beanbag. He'll be back. Just resting.
As I say that. He's heading to lockeroom. Hopefully just an IV.
Please be cramps.
Spencer has been flying all day
Ok I hope I'm wrong but I think Miami just starts to out athlete us. Game doesn't get crazy out of hand and we keep it respectable obviously but they pull away and win by 10-14.
Again I hope I'm wrong.
has Miami just always had a Restrepo or am I crazy
How the fuck does burgos not get him there?
Marve needs to change up looks like in 1st half, particularly without APR.
SPENCER
Jacory Harris is Cam Ward's mom!
Spencer showing his old team something!!!
oh baby, let's capitalize
I love this Spencer kid!!!!
Hell yes! TD now, boys
Hell yeah. Let's fucking do this!
you gotta catch that lol
We gotta get this!
Get that boy some oxygen.
Our second INT in the game!
Why hasn't Spencer been playing all year?!?!?!
Cause we haven't been playing MIA.
wouldn't hurt to run there man
3rd and 3 and we try to throw when Tuten is killing them?
Bowen stinks
why do we always stop running the ball...
Jesus, drones has gotta throw that ball better
Time to show some Love.
That was not ideal.
Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
that's ok.
settle in defense and contain em
And Clements missed the block...
Of course that walking waste of a scholarship did
FIRE STU HOLT
Lol
oh our special teams staff is some kind of stupid.
Our coaches are the dumbest motherfuckers in the league. Just WHY?
Wtf is wrong with our coaching staff??
Don't mind the call but execution was bad.
Oh fucking hell that should have worked but the OL got blown up
Said multiple times every game.
This coaching staff is so fucking stupid
Welp there's our special teams gaff for the game
OR third one of the game and got away with two players with 17 on field for our field goal?
1.) Timeout with 25 seconds left before FG
2) Squib kick allowing FG by Miami
3) Two 17s.
4) Fake FG
Somebody needs to be placed in charge of making sure that doesn't happen.
If we lose this Game, staff should be fired.
Players deserve better than this shit
Didn't we think that last week! /s
Really dumb decision to go for the fake. Disappointing we didn't get 7 there, but pisses me off we didn't get anything off that TO. Horrible decision.
Why not take the points and make it a 2 TD game rather than just two score when their kicker has already hit from 50+?
Clements fucking sucks
Easily one of the worst OL in college football
Easily
We are completely different if we had anyone better than him to play
Imagine calling that fake knowing how bad this OL is at run blocking.
Oh I meant Clements specifically
He's awful
Dagnabbit parker!!
3 points would have been nice, but the I like the FUCK MIAMI by the coaches there.
Pretty stupid fake call there. Take the points. You're going to be up two TDs. Pry overthinking.
But I'm okay with the agression need more of that fire.
If you're gonna do that, you should just go e for it on 4th down and run the fucking ball down their throats. You've been doing it all damn day.
You make your block and that's a conversion or a TD
Let's be real...we should've run on 3rd and 3
Do our coaches actually want to win this game? That's 6 points they've cost us now...
9.
RB pass when in FG range
Gift FG end of half.
Dumb fake call.
There is a reason why Pry is 1-9 in one score games. It aint an accident
Wide open dropped pass, stupid play calling, and a terribly executed fake kick. Wonderful way to follow up that great play by the defense 🙄
Clements got absolutely blown up
Players are trying to win this game. Coaches are trying every way to lose.
Special teams is a fucking mess, squib kick, double numbers, fake FG while you're in control of the game. Wtf are we doing?
Posting comments-blindly, had to walk dog, catching up on recording. Just kicked FG for 27...
7 + 19 (idiot play) + 10 (FF recovery) + 10 (int) + 14 + 21 + 5 (APR sack) + 24 + 27
= 137
If it's 4 down territory just run it twice using Tuten and Drones. It's not that hard. I'm pleased with the way the team is playing but the game management is an absolute joke.
Stupid ass call with the fake and Clements being useless as usual. Man makes me mad we didn't get any points on that epic int and return by Spencer.
The staff is taking chances and if it had worked, it might have broken miami's spirit
I don't mind that call. If OL doesn't get blown up he gets the first. Personally would have taken the points in this scenario but it's what it is.
I mean we could be up 19 now though if not for coaching decisions. Obviously if we lead by 13 at half you take the 3 there to make it a 19 pt game.
But it's ok. I will not get my hopes up. I will not get my hopes up.
I'm so tired of seeing #70 out there
You and everyone else. He's a giant liability
We gave them an opening and here come the Canes...
Of course that gets caught.
We're cooked.
Thanks Pry and Co.
Another masterclass on shit coaching.
This is one of our best games
We just have a serious issue with Parker Clements being so bad that he's single handedly blowing up anything we try and do offensively
Then don't run a fake FG that hinges on him winning a battle. It's not that fucking hard.
Yeah, up by 10 with 3 min left in the 3rd against a legit team.
I swear that look like it bounced. No review. #goacc
I was surprised they didn't take a look
Not getting points off that INT will cost us the game. Damnit Pry wtf.
I hope I'm wrong, but this game was over after the failed fake.
I think you're right. They have a true fire now
Posting comments-blindly still, that's an interception!!!
7 + 19 (idiot play) + 10 (FF recovery) + 10 (int) + 14 + 21 + 5 (APR sack) + 24 + 27 + 10 (int)
= 147
ah shit
here we go
Strong and APR. This is no bueno.
...and Jones.
If this is hydration issues, that's unforgivable. Make them drink fucking water and Gatorade
Pickle juice
Brumfield got housed by the OL. Gotta hold up better to play in this league.
Yeah I'm over this coaching staff. Year 3, no player development at all. But more concerning, no coach development. These idiots (coaches) are still out here making basic mistakes over and over again.
Yeah I think we are getting gassed and they are gonna out athlete us now. They are good so not a shame to lose.
Just don't let it get away from us too much.
hold em to 3, c'mon
Lol
that looks familiar lol
Dammit.
Just can't make it up...crumble at all the wrong moments
If we lose this game after 3 TOs from the defense, Pry should just resign for the shit call on that fake.
I like the fake.
I'll stand by Pry. That was the right call. Your kicker had made 2 50 yard field goals... We were an OL block away from a TD there. He went for the kill shot, it didn't work but I still love the call.
If only there was some evidence that our OL can't block. Must have caught all our coaches by surprise.
Game fucking over.
Time to call the Pry experiment what it is.
Coaching amateur-hour.
Yup
Hope we get APR back for the 4th.
Man our LBs cannot tackle....
He is not that fast and yet we look like we are in mud.
That fake FG caused a 10 pt swing...this team just makes poor decisions!!!!!!
This coaching staff continues to show they are clueless.
Lawson had a sack. Comes in out of control. Gives up a TD run.
That last drive blew up because of a couple things
1 - Drones can't hit someone on a crossing pattern. If it's not behind the receiver it's at his feet. If he hits the receiver in stride on first down it's a walk in TD
2 - Clements can't block.
wow. What a play by Kyron.
No, it wasn't. If he hands it off to Tuten that was going to be a big gain.
Tooting had a f****** touchdown there if drones handed it off
If drones hands off to Tuten on first, he's still running
We should be up by 9 right now.
Honestly, I didn't even want to watch this game. This is the first time in 20yrs I wasn't lit as a MFer to play the U. Always a great rivalry, always showing them they're not back. Happy we made a game of it for 3 qtrs. Sad that I'm ok with that. Hope we keep playing and some how find a way. Go Hokies!!!
These players want to win and the coaches won't get out of their way.
Tuten has six if it was given to him and he knew it
How come I, a person who has never played a down of real football in my life, can see that, while playing well, our defense looks gassed and therefore know you take that field goal instead of an OBVIOUS fake and get a TV timeout and co time to coach and make sure they have a longer breather. Just unbelievable bad coaching. Unreal.
Motherfucker.
What a back breaking mistake and totally horseshit call
Zebras changing the game....never seen this in Miami before /S
Illegal pancake.
There was no fucking hold there whatsoever
What the fuck
Horrible call
bullshit call
Refs getting in on this now
BS call!!!
BULL FUCKIN SHIT
What an awful awful call.
Fix is in.
That was a horrible call. Tried to not throw the PI too
Can't believe it took so long for the PI Flag
wow, they actually gave us a flag?
Close line is a flag.
They really tried hard not to throw that PI call too
People don't change direction in midair
Makeup call.
Do we get the make up points too?
That was a poor call on the Tuten TD. Holding for the payback.
That was Prioleau, man!
PJ has some wiggle. He needs to play more.
Back when I was at VT I met PJ once. He and his mom came into my store. He was in a stroller at the time.
And now he's strolling into the end zone.
That was PJ Prioleau subbing in for Tuten actually
That was a Prioleu Run
Alright!
Pass the salt moment for Mario there
The players deserve a ton of credit
They are overcoming both their own cosches
And ACC Refs who clearly have been instructed to make sure Miami remains a CBP contender
I'm reaching another level of anger right now with the team playing their asses off (not you, Clements), and the coaches and refs are blowing this shit.
If we play this way the rest of the year we can have a good year.
I know this isn't the time for silver linings, but this is the first game I've felt good about our team. Even if we lose I have hope.
Players are amped, let's see if they can do anything with it other than a dropped pass.
Toot toot!
Can we just please run Tuten until he can't run anymore?
Then let Prioleau go!
So close to lane walking in there.
Beautiful pass. More of this, Drones!
Drones led that pass perfectly.
PJ in for Tuten. Let's get him his TD back.
Now we're wasting T/O.
Its year 3, Brent...figure it out
That TO was the smartest coaching moment of this game
I agree. Everyone on field on edge, a breather isn't the worst thing there.
The fake field goal is an unforgivable 10 point swing offense
2nd half T/O are dear.
Have to have 3 to force a punt if down late.
This staff just drives me up a fuckin wall sometimes man, I swear to god🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
We have a chance for 7. Delay of game penalty would kill that.
Wasted a TO we may need later.
Not a waste if it saves us a penalty there in the red zone
Need a TD here. A field goal does not help after going for it earlier
No no no no YESSSSSSS!
GREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEENE
LETS GOOOOO
HOKIES!!!
Drones!!!!
AYDEN GREENE GETS HIS!
Good. Fuck Miami.
how did we get that?!?
HOLY SHIIITTT
YEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
OMG. This game is crack
We're in the right city.
Underrated comment of the thread.
Greene is really good.
Mutherficka!!!
Mr Greene, in the end zone, with the football
VERY NICE!!!!
Surrender Cobras abound
Holy. Fucking. Shit.
Hear me out, fake the extra point.
Fake the KO?
Same play as earlier, just sub Drones in to block.
OMG!!!! I STILL HATE THAT F'ING FAKE FIELD GOAL BUT THIS IS THE DRONES I WANTED TO SEE THIS YEAR!!!
7 + 19 (idiot play) + 10 (FF recovery) + 10 (int) + 14 + 21 + 5 (APR sack) + 24 + 27 + 10 (int) + 34
= 181
Three moments from this game being 40-21.
1) Don't run ourselves out of FG in 1st half
2) Don't call timeout with 25 seconds left in half
3) Kick the FG instead of faking
Yep, we are up right now in spite of coaching blunders
PRAY GOD DAMN YOU ALL PRAY
This game being on National television is probably a good thing for us.
I can't believe we scored 30+.
Although we should have scored 40 by now.
Defense has to step up now. Make them earn the next score.
Make them not score.
FTFY
Also, Miami really is actually a good team. This isn't fool's gold, even if we end up losing. We can absolutely hang with anyone left on our schedule. I haven't had this much fun watching VT since the bowl game, no matter the outcome.
Don't give me hope!!!!!!!!!!!
And take a long time to score.
APR is coming back!!! Oh fuck yes
Dorian Strong doesn't have his helmet in his hand. Hopefully it's just because he's waiting.
Oh shit APR got them Corey Moore eyes
APR looks to be back and ready. Hope to god he's 100%
We should be up 40-21...
Have a big feeling this will come back to haunt us
Woodson is having himself a game
that was a dart by Ward
Even if we end up somehow hanging on, this dude 100% deserves the hype. He's a serious talent. Arm, legs, brain.
How long until we spy Ward?
Not soon enough...who didn't see that coming with empty backfield there
This is a hell of a football game. I still don't understand how the ACC let VT and Miami not play each other last year.
My buddies and I are texting airplane memes right now.
These fucking Canadian beers.
Those California boys are concerned about next week.
I will say I'm not gonna be mad at the outcome the way these boys played.
Actually enjoying this game. Still feel like we will lose in the end. But proud of this team.
#3 blew that one
Holding on APR
Yup.
Oh DC is going to be so triggered by a ninth-year scoring on us.
Wait till his 10th year.
Don't worry, I'm already drinking.
He's applying for social security after this season
He has more experience than our coordinators
Don't let DC hear that the 9th year guy scored on us.
Plot twist, DC is the ninth year player!
9th year senior???
Dr. McCormick
A lot of people spend 9 years in college....yeah them call them doctors
I think Brumfield still belongs at MTSU. So underwhelming.
Yeah you cannot let the TE behind you there. Busted coverage.
This would be a great time for lane to pop one.
I'd like a 13 play 7 minute drive with a TD!
I'll take that too.
Make it 8 minutes
We have to score again if we want to win. Probably a TD.
If it's not a TD we're gonna lose. Just calling it now.
Time for the Tug Boat to bring us into the harbor.
We need a LONG, methodical, run the clock drive for 6 here. Tuten is going to be so goddamn sore tomorrow but it would be worth it.
Feed #20
Just keep em rotating. But the tugboat has to be the workhorse
He has an extra day to rest this week.
Need to grind clock and get points here. 3 and out no bueno
Two words: Tyler Bowen
...yet
Okay QB1 let's go
Need to run Tuten!
Hit him Kyron. Geez.
Run the damn ball.
Correction. Run the damn ball. Off tackle.
alright defense... lol
Hey, I've seen this one before
Exactly NOT what we needed.
Second punt tonight?
I still don't understand how he throws behind his receivers so much. I'd want my money back from that QB guru if I was Drones.
That's the game.
Brent Pry football boys...
That first down throw was wide open and missed 🤦♂️
Feed Peebles!
PEEBLES
Can we not coach? Or do we refuse to?
All this just to make me go to bed 2 hours later than I wanted
Yep...really wish Pry wasn't a total moron
mental mistake
Great play...brain dead play
HOLDING!?!??!??????!!???
Holding
holding, thank goodness.
How important was that fake field goal now?
The fuck
What the fuck are these catches
Gotta be fucking kidding me
How the FUCK are you not playing press there?
Seriously
I have no words
We just find a way to lose. It's uncanny, we find a way
A WR catches a 4th down catch on his back... lol can't make this up
It's just not in the cards when they are making catches like that.
...and this is why those 6 points (possibly 9) were so damn important.
Good d there.
If we wind up losing. Pry should fire his OC and dc and ride out the rest of the season. We outplayed our coaches in this game.
Lol
What the fuck are these catches
I just....wow.
WHATTHEACTUALFUCK!!!
What the actual fuck
You have to be F ing kidding me.
There are literally no words for these past couple of freak plays. Like WTF
I will not get my hopes up. They score a TD here and that's game.
This drive is insane
This is a losing program
We have learned how to lose. It's what we are good at. We lose. When we play well we find a way to lose.
Fucking choke artists. 3rd time we choke it away late this year alone
Sadly, this is it
Honestly, their players making miracle circus plays is not a choke job on our part.
Omg they are so lucky.
1-10
This was a winnable game that our coaches fucked sideways.
Finding a way to lose
Football gods are just not on our side apparently
We can snatch defeat from the jaws of victory can't we boys.
Wrap. Up.
Bruh....?
Dude...?
For real....?
Wtf..?
How many more can y'all think of?
That was the luckiest play I've seen in a long time.
Had we gotten 3 on that stupid fake FG attempt, would only need a field goal to win it after Miami gets the inevitable TD here. But no. Thanks Pry
We'd be up 9 with even semi-competent coaching.
Pry ain't the guy...
Calling timeout with 25 seconds left in first half gave Miami three more. Running ourselves out of FG range in first half chance at another FG too.
Hell of a game. We should be up an extra 6 right now tho
Let 'em walk into the end zone here, you have 1:55 to drive down the field. That's the only way we win this game, short of a miracle turnover.
Catch while laying on the ground. Last second catch by big fat TE.
Miami is good, but this drive is all luck.
Edit: forgot the bad snap.
Choked the game away on Special Teams....reporters better be asking Pry about them all after this.
I feel like god is using my throat as a toilet.
whew baby.
I feel sorry for the mods this weekend. lol
Irvin is gross sweaty lol
Good to see cocaine Mike on the sideline for da u. /s
Ballgame.
Tuten avg 7.4 ypc. Our last series. Inc. 3 yard run. Inc. Punt. fucking genius.
That's ballgame. This team has run out of gas.
I just hope Pry spares us the moral victory bullshit.
Can't wait for the random Drones tipped ball INT to seal the game
See. Cristobal knows to kick it through the end zone
We were supposed to lose this game.
For the last week I heard nothing but hot pain and cannonballs regarding this team.
We are in this game hard. I think these guys have done great.
Let's Go Hokies.
Fuck yeah brother. Fuck all that other noise.
the players have done great. the coaches, not so much.
No horse collar tackle?
That would be a penalty in our favor, those don't happen
Omg clock management.
Pry is a fucking idiot
Goddamnit Pry! Call the freaking timeout! Just let 30 seconds run off
Pry is a fucking clown coach
Fucking horsecollar
How is that not a horse collar? Also, call the fucking time out!
Well. This is yet another in a long line of woulda coulda shoulda. We are two stupid fucking plays away from still being in the lead. But no. We are losing by 4 and will all be seething the remainder of the weekend filled with "what if's" and "if we only did's".
Jesus Christ, have these coaches never heard of clock management? We basically wasted a minute on 3 bullshit plays
Horsecllar is no longer a penalty?
I am so sick of this bullshit time cop freaking clock mis-management.
I said the other day he's VT's Mike London. Rah rah and salesman, but terrible coach.
How's that fake FG?
And squib kick?
Pry is clueless. Fucking clueless.
We aree gonna lose this with a TO in our pocket.
Leave Pry in Miami
Terrible end of game management.
Love the announcers blasting Pry for time management. Rightfully so.
Felton ran OB on his own power. Clock runs
He was running backwards. Forward progress was in bounds.
Yeah coaches lost this game.
Drain the clock before half take three off of Miami. Then obviously you kick the fg and don't fake it.
Game would be 37-35 at a min and we could be taking a knee
fire up that vent thread
I mean, good game. whatever, but we could've won
No fucking PI when defender is holding both arms
Pi not a thing
Was out of bounds because he got pushed out of bounds before the ball got there.
Slightly long.
And Pry lecturing Drones about using all that time there. Meanwhile he has butchered clock management this whole drive.
...HC career
If we kick that field goal we faked we just need a field goal right now to win
Ya'all are awfully negative... time to manifest the W. Enjoy.
I am with this 100%.
They played great.
Not mad at them. More frustrated than if we got blasted.
Oh well. More irritated by all those bandwagon Miami fans who wouldn't be there if they were 2-2.
GODDAMNIT PARKER
Edit: a TO was called
Tonight, the coaches fucked our players... fire Pry, Whit, and Ballein into the fucking sun!!!!
Could be kicking a FG right now.
Run three guys one way and Lane slanting the other
we beat the spread🥹
HOLY SHIT
WHAT
Holy. Fuck.
no way
So we're what now - 0-214 in games decided by 1 score under Pry?
White Babcock fucking sucks.
Holy shit!!!!!
Again 3 at half and the fake. Damn
WHAT? A TD?!?
Felton caught it.
HOKIES!
TECH WINS???????????
JUST WOKE UP MY WHOLE NEIGHBORHOOD
We're so gonna get fucked by the replay on this one
I have my ky ready
HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT
If this goes our way, it rivals the Logan Thomas Miami win.
How are we on second replay review?
Because Miami is supposed to win.
And the refs will decide the game. Fun.
Felton catch.
They're gonna overturn it because they need Miami to go to the CFP.
I'm gonna vomit
I would love for this to not fuck us one time. Danny Coale says please.
What the hell. We are going to get robbed aren't we!
Is Charlotte gonna fuck us
As dramatic as it gets. Miami VT always a game
Danny Coale rule. In control when he hits the ground.
I'll be honest, I don't know. But they called it a TD on the field and there damned sure ain't enough to overturn it.
Danny Coale caught that ball
Are we going to be saying Felton caught the ball?
I will not get my hopes up
#goacc
God dammit i wish I knew what was happening
Just Fuck Miami
FUCK YOU CHARLOTTE
ACC refs ACC fuck us
That's straight bullshit.
Fixed
ACC fucked us to the end. Fuck this conference.
And there it is
I am not shaking hands on that one. Straight to the locker room.
The refs just stole the game from VT.
Of course.
We were robbed!
I told all yall motherfuckers that they were gonna fuck us.
The coaching staff lost this one. We are a poorly coached team. Period.
Danny Coale and Da'Quan Felton caught that ball
ACC knew it would look bad if their top 10 team lost to the team that lost to Rutgers and Vandy. Couldn't let that happen.
Refs family gonna be sleeping with one eye open for a good while
yeah, ok. we were robbed. so what.
we shouldn't have been in that fucking position in the first place. bone headed mistakes, just mother FUCKING HEAD SCRATCHING decisions by this coaching staff. This coaching staff STINKS. Our players put it ALL out there, and their coaches FAILED them.
We were at the 30, no? Would have been a 47 yd FG attempt, which Love can clearly make. Could have won us the game if, you know, I dunno, we hadn't run a trick play on a chip shot FG earlier.
This is an issue I've had ever since Beamer decided to go the the TD against Auburn in the Sugar Bowl... I still see that ball flying perfectly through the hands of Jesse Allen and leaving us empty after that drive.
If you don't have to get a TD, TAKE THE GD POINTS!!!!
Par for VT football
Best game they've played all year. Not one person on here thought we had a snowballs chance in Miami of winning. Poor game management lost this game, not the players.
Unfortunately for the staff, you don't get the benefit of moral victories when you've been here this long.
Poor calls on the field didn't help.
Phantom holding on PJ's TD run or a non-reversal on the last call and we win.
If it takes that long to decide, it's 👏 not 👏 indisputable 👏
Is it too much to ask the ACC to spring for lube?
This is the funniest thing I've seen in awhile
