Leave your thoughts on Pitt and the rest of today's game here.
I'm at the game, French is in NOVA/DC, Kevin's also in Pitt, Brian is in the 'Burg, and the BCO is holding down the 757. Expect a summary of the game this afternoon and French's film sometime Monday.
Go Hokies!

Guess I'm one of the few that am stuck watching on my computer and not in person.
Well, I've got it on the TV, but I'm at home too. And that drive was embarrassing for us -_-
JGW
Nice faceplant trying to cover that route in the flat...
Here we go...
Bonner doesn't look for the football, JGW is on the ground when a tight end goes for 23 and Jarrett misses a tackle. Sexy opening.
Yikes
That's the best Pitt has looked and the worst the VT defense has looked all season.
Dyrell
nice play...but Logan needs that ball to hit him on the money. If he's going to get better as the year goes, as I think he will, this offense could be something.
And that wasn't a penalty on the INT.
Ugh, I was so excited that we were coming back with a quick strike after Pitt scored... and then that happened -_-
OI WHAT THE FUCK? We seriously just muffed a punt? Could this game get more embarrassing for us? Fuck
My stream went down so I'm stuck with radio until I can get it fixed...
Positive?

Another slow ass start. VT
Another slow ass start. Our D gave up that Six too easily. VT can't give up another TD on Pitt's 3rd possession. The offense needs to help LT out, and LT needs to realize he's not shifty like Tyrod.
Bright side?...
At least our punter doesn't suck?...
Thanks God after the travesty that was punting last year...
Our D line is sucking right now!!
Our whole team is sucking right now.... how the fuck are we down by two scores to PITT?!?!
WTF, D?! 2 passing TDs given up
get Bonner out of the game he is miserable to watch
We have to get a TD on this drive.
Bonner!!!!!!!!
This is terrible... What the hell are we doing??? We need to get back in this game RIGHT THE FUCK NOW!
The pass rush is shit.
Fuller to the rescue!
OMG, LOGAN!
OMG, LOGAN, WERE YOU COLOR BLIND?!
OH MY FUCKING CHRIST WHAT THE SHIT WAS THAT... was there even a receiver ANYWHERE NEAR THAT?
Dear Jesus...
WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?!?!?! THIS IS A NIGHTMARE. It's not real, it's not real, it's not reall.....
pinching self and everyone around me...
So did we spend all week just thinking Pitt was another 1AA team? Inconsistent to downright bad all around. Getting gashed on the ground, beat through the air, unable to run, and receivers not playing well. Oh, and Thomas with a terrible INT just now.
Maybe...
Maybe they were just trying to fool us by losing big to Youngstown and Cincinnati just so they could pull this crap... Crafty bastards.
I think we were looking ahead to Bowling Green.........................
No, we mindfucked ourselves thinking of their 3-win streak against us. Only Hughes looks sharp today.
Losing helmets everywhere
NO GOOD! CAN WE PLEASE SCORE THIS TIME?!
Thank God!
We don't Play Youngstown ST.
FUCK! PROTECT THE DAMN BALL!
I'm going to cry
You kidding? I AM CRYING...
I had to wake up so early for this, I'm not entirely convinced I'm awake... Thus no crying... yet.
There's something wrong with our RB coach
Not the first time our RB has ball security issues.
i can't watch anymore. good luck and God bless
Don't Believe the HYPE!
This is an embarassment to this program! Every facet of the game is lacking in a Big Way! I believe they need this dose of reality, Gut check time. Let's see how much Pride and Heart this team has! What kind of leader is Logan going to be?
3 turnovers = down by 3 TDs
This is insane...
Hey guys, guess what?! We're trending on Twitter! -_____-
Bud Foster needs to scare the life out of his D and get them back into this game
Another typical Hokie game offensively speaking no o-line play, and Logan way over rated and their O-line blowing the eff out of the d-line
Starting to make the JMU caveats
Our best realistic goal was to win the ACC. This doesn't hurt that. Etc. Ugh.
The way this is going this might be one of the worst performances versus the circumstances/vegas line in recent memory. No excuses for this one. Pitt isn't good. We played a 1AA team last week and have no team that we're looking ahead to.
Unfuckingbelievable!!!!!!!!!!!!
Let's Get this shit turned around right here!!!!!!!!
I hope Uncle Mo shows up!
Can't undo the 1st QT! Just change the next 3!
#SCALES4HEISMAN
Looks good...doing things we haven't done yet this season...
3 Points...
Let's get a stop, and a TD drive. We get the ball first in the 2nd half.
IT IS NOT OUT OF REACH. LET'S GET IT!
Same ass old story Can't
Same ass old story
Can't score touchdowns in the red zone that was 2 down territory with 2 QBsneaks
9 effing yards on first down
Fuck.
@VT_Football says Kyle Fuller is out with a shoulder right now.
Should return, though.
JAMES GAYLE! GETCHA SOME!
Quick TD!
Quick TD. Then some fucking D!
Ugh
Think he got hit there throwing the ball, but still.
What the fucking fuck is wrong with LT this season?
It's obvious he has regressed as a passer
Halftime!
can't get here soon enough!
Pitt's gonna get another score here...
Quitting!
they are quitting!
Big Break there...
Good christ, let's have our coaches TEAR INTO SOME ASSES at halftime and get back on the fuckin' track!
I would NOT want to be a player in that locker room right now...
GUT CHECK TIME
I would love to hear what goes on in that lockeroom! We'll see what kind of leaders we have!
Looking forward to hearing Beamer blame the players as usual. Of course a team of talented players underperforming could never be the coaches' fault and it's insulting to suggest otherwise. True Hokies never question that.
Definitely not over yet...
But our defense really has to remember how to play. Seriously what is going on?? They aren't getting much pressure at all
I blame whoever put up the thread about ACC Championship tickets for this madness. In fact, I'm going to go post that on that thread. Brb.
Horse on a treadmill just made me feel slightly better, but only for like 30sec
our offense. . .
This is SAD!
3 and out, what the fuck!
Defense needs a big turnover. Preferably a defensive Touchdown.
This could be the whole season!
Just sayin'
We look like we have no idea what the hell we're doing. It's ugly. And it feels like it's just going to get worse.
meh, doesnt matter to the conference
BURNED A TIMEOUT ALREADY???? WHAT THE FUUUUUUUUHHHHHH....
3 and out - just what the
3 and out for the offense- just what the doctor ordered
KYSHOEN!
YOU MAGNIFICENT BASTARD!
RUN BABY RUN!!!!
FUCK YES! KYSHOEN YOU DA FUCKING MAN!
SWEET!!!!!!!!!!!
KY to the house!
RVD
WITH THE CRUSHING BLOCK!
That man needs more play time!
agreed I don't know why he isn't playing over Gouveia-Winslow? I heard that RVD was supposedly competing for the starting job this spring I'm not sure why we haven't seen him more this season
Special Teams may have done it again
RVD sickest block of the season!!!!!
What fucking block!
He lit his ass up!!
KJ came to play!
RVD for special teams player of the year!!!
Now the rest of the team needs to follow suit
=truth
Just what we needed. YES! 3 and out! LET'S GO OFFENSE!
Wow, defense playing a bit now!
Score this drive and I'll calm down
Good thinking to try Knowles deep as momentum is shifting.
But an O-lineman down.. Shit.
Crap
Wang....not good...
Let's pray to the football gods that it's not serious.
Lil Wang. oh no
Can we just yank Marcus Davis already?
Not on him.
I take that back ....
WTF LT???? COME ONNNNN!
At least he will be back next year
True.
fuck!
FUCK.
Should've run LT again.
Seriously???!!!!
what happened to 4th and Logan?
Why exactly did we hand it to Holmes 3 yds deep?
Exum!
He can't tackle for shit!
GODDAMNIT BRUCE.
Bullshit call
losing composure!
What the fuck was that, Taylor?
Anybody else think that was a BS penalty?
Penalty was crap, the play wasn't officially over yet. Should've been a punt...now it's a TD
Fucking refs
No whistle was crap
But he piledrived a QB that he had stopped and was just standing there. Stupid play by Taylor even if the whistle hasn't blown.
No whistle yet!! What the crap?!
HOLD THEM TO A FIELD GOAL. PLEASE>
Damn it.
Why is our secondary garbage?
WE LOOK SAD! SAD! SAD! SAD!
Something gotta give! Besides our defense!
When is Beamer going to get rid of his offensive play callers WTF
The O's not the only problem today... the D sucks, and even considering that return, special teams are still spotty today
If he hasnt fired stinespring by now he never wil... this is our offensive identityl
Fat lady is warming up
NOW HOLD THEM.
DON'T EVEN CELEBRATE THAT TD. PLAY SOME MUTHA FUCKIN D!
MORE OF THAT!
AND LESS OF THE BULLSHIT!
Thank you!! Marcus Davis just
Thank you!!
Marcus Davis just needs to get into open space. Big play threat right there!!
Busted coverage FTW Moar big
Busted coverage FTW
Moar big plays plx
Let's go D!
Get a Turnover!
Oh my God, we fucking CANNOT tackle today
God
Damn. It.
Beaten again in the open field
The amount of yards on runs and passes after tackle chances has been ridiculous. Just getting straight up beat by their skill guys.
This d is making tino sunseri look like a heisman candidate
The Worldwide Leader
So the game in on ESPNU, which we don't get in our basic DirecTV package. So ESPN3, right? Wrong, its "blacked out" east of the Mississippi. Which would be fine if it was on local. Which it isn't. So... what is this shizzle about?

Thanks dude. I still would love to get that question in the Weavs for Monday night. Weird to black it out in markets that would want the game, but not the rest of the country. Its a national broadcast on ESPNU, right?
What good is 17-19 million in TV revenue IF WE CAN'T WATCH THE BALLGAME? Sad reality is that those TV revenues come from ESPN marking up their services to distributors, distributors marking up theirs costs to us. So every time you pay your TV bill, you're making an involuntary contribution to the Hokie Club, along with the rest of the country.
Huzzah New World Order! #goacc
DONALDVEN MANNING!
How about it!
Throw the deep ball it's there!
-_____- I can't deal with this. Get momentum on offense. Defensive stop. Subsequent possession. DONT DO SHIT. WHAT. THE. FUCK.
Bright Spot!
Punter looks great!
Ahahahahahahahahaha offensive PI
4th QT.
We got this!
Shitty O Play calling as I've ever seen from Stiney / O'Cain they have really out done themselves
Interception + QB limping = me happy!
- 3 and out = nvrmnd
Damn it.
Holy Shit!
We look horrific!
Big play again
Two missed tackles that could have made it a loss or a short gain.
And again
Dive at ankles. Miss. Rinse, repeat.
Bowl Prediction!
We will be lucky to get one, at this rate!
Sun Bowl. Everyone can come visit me in Hell Paso
For the love of everything Hokies turn around and look for the ball!!!
we make everyone look good
is it too late to get out of the alabama game?
Fuck, its like we WANT to lose this game
Turrible.... just turrible
Exum!!! Your stupid blonde head needs to stat on sides...
That about sums it up
Offsides on a meaningless short FG that wastes an extra 2 minutes and gives PITT a TD.
Ball game.
I'm going to fucking throw up. Where's my booze, I need to erase this from my memory
I'm done. I'm going to go support the university I actually attend in their football game. Fuck this shit. What happened to us...
NE pricks its like the old BE
I'm giving up. my time is worth more than this crap
THIS!
This is why people call us the CHOKIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!
To top it off I have to go shopping with my wife at West Elm after this. Kill me now...
WHAT IS IT ABOUT PITT AND UPSETS AGAINST US?!
Here's hoping GT creams UVA to make me feel better -_-
Cant wait to hear in the post game "pitt will get after ya" "we just need to execute better" "pitt is a very good football team""missed opportunities"
What even the fuck with no roughing the passer there?
Seriously!! Way to be consistent refs. We've gotten some crap calls this game. ACC refs too...
You say "ACC refs" like they're either good or consistent....
Great point...
Whats going on with our defense today?! Tackling is awful, no pressure from the line and secondary sucks. This season is going to be scary...
Welcome to the ACC!
WE SUCK, PERIOD! This is going to be a very long season! ACCCG my ASS! Top Ranked Defense My ASS! They showed me exactly what I feared after Last week!
The funny thing is I still see us as Coastal favorites with the GT win in our pocket. Who's going to challenge? Ineligible UNC who just lost to WF? GT who needs us to lose two (possible) and to stay undefeated (unlikely)? Miami? UVA? This team looked miserable, but I have less confidence in the rest of that list.
Have to think we'll turn it around-ish, win close games against the ACC, claw back into the rankings, beat up on a division of midgets, and then get creamed by FSU/Clemson in the ACCCG.
So unranked?
Polls have done weirder things, but I don't see how we stay ranked. Still can win the ACC, blah blah blah.
Yeah
I'm thinking we plummet right on out of the rankings. There is no way after that performance that anyone is going to think we belong in the top 25.
Our Defense
The D looked slow overall and when players managed to get in position they dove at the RBs' legs and failed to wrap up.
Another big issue was the play calling. I used to bitch about the unimaginative run plays but at least they picked up a couple first downs and let our D catch its breath; w/ O'Cain's three rapid fire passes they only get a minute or two break. You need to keep things simple. Although in theory a wide variety of plays and formations could create confusion, I prescribe to the KISS theory in that you master a smaller number of drills.
I don't have much football experience but I've spent time leading units and I know you need to hold people accountable when they fail. You can stand by them for a while in the hopes of correcting small issues, but is seems like Beamer's loyalty to his staff comes at the cost of the overall unit.
Oh, I'm feeling much better already. GT scored on their first play from scrimmage vs UVA
GT
I'm glad that team did'nt show up in blacksburg!
