I second that.

Rip his freaking head off!

LET'S GOOOOOOO! ... HOKIES!

LET'S GOOOOOOO!

...

HOKIES!

My only lament

is that there was not enough participation in the Mascot Mock.

On to predictions: as goes Michael Cole, so goes the Hokies. So....

48-20 Clemson

Clemson's mascot's motto:

COCAINE IS A HELLUVA DRUG

SO GLAD we have Mike Patrick instead of Doris Burke.

Yeah

dodged a serious bullet there.

Pretty cool to see Rodriguez lead Clemson down the hill.

This contradicts what I said earlier

but that was a huge whiff by Beamer & Co™.

White helmets again?

Please

BURN THESE HELMETS

for the love of God YES

Special teams breaks contain and gives them extra yardage on the return...

SACK LUNCH NOMNOMNOMNOM

TWO SACKS IN ONE DRIVE! LEGGO! GAYLE FORCE!

Where has this DL been all year?!

James Gayle is also at the party in the backfield

Love LT throwing a block there

Who didn't see that coming?

LOGANDOZER

TOUCHDOWN COREY FUCKIN FULLER!

TD

FULLER

What was Kyle looking at there?

MICHAEL COLE LAYING DOWN INT .GIF!

WOW @ cole

Nice Int

ALL HAIL THE FOOTBALL GODS

This has to be payback for such a shitty season so far.

COREY FULLER THE NEW #ALWAYSOPEN???

Movin' the chains. I love it.

go for it... send a message

Yeah he's definitely short... 4th and Logan, let's go

a lot of momentum to stop here. might as well go for the gusto.

Why not a sneak...?

jesus... a qb waggle roll out to the wide side with a TE and WR dragging across would have been better than run off tackle

I'm not sure

if an off-tackle Holmes run has gotten more than 2 yards all season.

Seriously should've kicked the FG there

would have liked to see the ball in logan's hands there, but going for it was the right call.

LT3 should've been the call for sure

*Sigh of relief*

wtf? why is this being reviewed? its pretty obvious he never had possession

Cole should've at least tipped that

WATCH THE FAKE!

NICE HANDS COREY!

There's the Tony Gregory I'm used to #fumblemachine and Corey Fuller is our savior!

fuller, big play right there

EXUMINED! Beautiful.

and then INT

BEAMERBALL BABY

You

have got to be kidding me

"Got time. OHH a receiver wide open it's Royal!"

Just awful. Look for the ball!!

Announcer jinx... "Ellington hasn't been much of a factor yet... AND THERE HE GOES!" Thanks Mike Patrick.

back to running to the edges of the field

Nice job AJ

WOW the wheels are really falling off

wow, got real lucky right there. a punt block for a td and this game is completely changed.

Why no roughing the kicker there?? Is it fair game since the ball hit the ground first?

they said it was because the punter was outside the tackle box when he kicked

GREAT DEFENSE! 3 AND OUT AFTER A DISMAL OFFENSIVE DRIVE. I'LL TAKE IT

D Line

is having a MONSTER game.

Huge stop. Nice work defense

"Got time. OHH a receiver wide open it's Royal!"

HUGE sack by Tyler!!!!!

WR DeAndre Hopkins leaving the field for Clemson. Going to the locker room for something. #Hokies

Just kidding.

Andy Bitter‏@AndyBitterVT

False alarm. Different No. 6 heading to locker room. My apologies.

long time consuming drive

Loving the game so far

A new season...new hope

We stopped calling quick runs up the middle again.

#STRAIGHTBURNER!

Loving the YAC, Dyrell

Straight burner!

He made some moved there!!

stinescreen ftl

where has this team been

Did they get the whole team to the game this week

A new season...new hope

That play proved that Clemson cant tackle in the open field

Don't ever let the pressure exceed the pleasure. - Joe Maddon

2nd overthrown pass, 2nd int

Wow Logan. Just wow.

This

is why we can't have nice things.

"Got time. OHH a receiver wide open it's Royal!"

Like crystal ball trophies?

Exactly

"Got time. OHH a receiver wide open it's Royal!"

not sure what that throw was.

And logan sails another pass

Don't ever let the pressure exceed the pleasure. - Joe Maddon

watching this team

is torture.

I think that ball got tipped

Or else Logan just picked a bad time to overthrow a duck.

Not tipped

It just turned into a huge floppy duck.

Why is he overthrowing EVERYTHING this year???!!!!

offense scores a td, you're right back in it. clemson can give up big plays.

I dont know what else the D is supposed to do? Holding clemson to 37 yards in the 2nd quarter and still down by 10.

the D is fine. They need to keep doing what they're doing and continue to make Boyd uncomfortable. The score is reflective of all the bonehead plays we've made so far.

D has limited their O very well. Offense has to come out and tie it up to begin 3rd quarter.

Yea, the D is playing really well

If it weren't for all the stupid plays (was the RVD on the punt?), we would be winning. Hopefully they can keep it up for the second half.

No it wasn't RVD. Mike Patrick made a mistake but he corrected himself. It was #44, I don't know who that is. RVD was close but wasn't him.

Christian Reeves.

journell

Good kick

A new season...new hope

I'm really tired of this announcer acting like field goals are completely out of the question. If we woulda kicked the field goal on our last 4th and go for it, we'd only be down 4... He keeps saying we need touchdowns because we need points, well we need field goals because we need points too.

Now if our tight end will just stop overthrowing passes.

Completely agree!!

I've been

yelling this same thing at the tv every time he says that. Even my wife noticed that.

Halftime speech!

feeling good about this game

Dont know how the second. half will be but if we keep playing like this and stop the turn overs ....

A new season...new hope

Thoughts

1)Defense is doing great today.
2)Without the turnovers this game is much different.
3)Glad we got pts at the end of the half. Down 7 isn't huge, but should've been much different.
4)who names their child Dabo???

Wow

Wide open...Easy TD...overthrown

season in a nutshell

Frustrating

#BUCKYHODGES2013

Joking

Somebody on Facebook said "time for Mark Leal" -_____-

All of his game-time experience is in garbage time. If anybody on this site says anything against that, you are an idiot.

I just wish our QB coach

would, you know, make our QBs better instead of worse.

He did a pretty good job with Tyrod. This might just be on Thomas.

Tech Tech VPI

I think Tyrod

made Tyrod better, and I'm pretty sure we all second guessed him a lot, even in his senior season.

i put that one on the wide out

If he hadnt given up on the route and was going at full speed thats a td

A new season...new hope

Did that announcer REALLY just suggest a fake punt? This isn't a video game, bro.

Where's the pass interference call??

Thing is that Davis still had a shot at that catch... But he was already thinking about begging the official to throw his flag.

why

Scren pass, a fake screen to a screen pass and an end around...please take stiney off the controls

A new season...new hope

Anyone who would like to argue O'Cain is calling the plays, please see that series of play calls. Vintage Stinebrokenspring

Defense is playing their nuts off and offense cant move the ball

WHAT THE FUCK?!?!? FORWARD PROGRESSS?!?!?!?!?

terrible call. Remember the

terrible call.

Remember the late hit unsportsmanlike conduct against Bruce Taylor in the Pitt game? They waited 5 seconds to blow the whistle. Consistency is all I ask for. But then again, those were big east officials and they're not used to real football.

wtf is that call? these refs blow. just give clemson the win already

That was the worst call I've ever seen. What the crap refs?

Tech Tech VPI

are you serious? that's a bs call. not even close to forward progress.

WTF!!!!!!

the refs

The 12th man for clemson

A new season...new hope

HE WAS NOT DOWN!

Where was Beamer after that?? He needs to be going off on the refs right there. Throw your headset!

and it was a fumble

wat

WHAT THE FUCK

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA fuck these guys i swear ive seen some shitty officiating and tech should be beating the brakes off these clowns but come on with that bullshit

we are

getting screwed by these refs. unreal.

Clearly a fumble! What is going on??

Hey look! a call went our way, you guys!

weak make up call

well atleast these refs will not be refing anymore

Hopefully these guys are done aftwr this

A new season...new hope

This is ridiculous. They're handing them points here.

its the sugar bowl all over again... but the saying applies here, if you let the refs be in a position to decide the game, then you deserve to lose

that is what good teams do

Get two horrible calls and barely turn them into points

A new season...new hope

Almost shaking, so ticked

I am so upset after those 2 blown calls right now.

Is there a

college football equivalent of MLB's playing under protest?

Hope so

I was thinking the same thing, because this has been ridiculous.

Now we're giving up.

if i was CFB i would have been ejected. i would have went absolutely ape on that ref.

Yet

we still try east/west……this is ridiculous

"Got time. OHH a receiver wide open it's Royal!"

stop running sideways please,

stop running sideways please.

That

playcall sucks....why do we insist on doing it every time?

its over

I think the dam is about to break

A new season...new hope

It is

any second now

"Got time. OHH a receiver wide open it's Royal!"

And

boom goes the dynamite

"Got time. OHH a receiver wide open it's Royal!"

Yea, we lost

all momentum with those calls. I don't think we can score enough to come back unless we get some turnovers....which the refs will then take back from us anyway.

CLEAR. PUSHOFF. HOLY FUCKING

CLEAR. PUSHOFF.

HOLY FUCKING SHIT.

SO ANGRY right now bro. This

SO ANGRY right now bro.
This is getting out of hand. I can't believe this game changed because of bad calls.

Everybody's saying " you can't blame the refs"

LIES. If you are saying that right now, reality check: there's this thing called momentum. We get that fumble recovery call, we could take a shot deep next play, catch them sleeping... Game is tied. OR EVEN BEFORE THAT -- On that "sack," I'm pretty sure there wasn't a defender WITHIN 20 YARDS OF JC COLEMAN.

i never knew that the ACC hired the NFL replacement refs after the orignials came back

langerie league

These are probably the.guys dropped by that league

A new season...new hope

Offensive pass interference and no call

This is the MO against clemson. Defense holds them for 3 quarters, d gets tired, Offense does nothing and Clem pulls away in the 2nd half.

my thoughts

This sucks ...I expected to lose bju I was hoping would the game wouldnt have been such a heart breaker

A new season...new hope

id rather see this team get blown out than snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. boyd was rattled for 3 quarters, and the opportunity was there.

ACCCG last year

That loss hurt bad as well

A new season...new hope

These Clemson fans seem a lot more into the game than I can remember us being for a 12pm game.

Tech Tech VPI

4 man rush and a sack on a 4th down, pathetic

After 5 sec sitting in the pocket you gotta run or throw bro. Do our WRs suck that bad?? After that long someone's gotta get open

oh no tajh boyd maybe hurt

Subject says it all..Go D

A new season...new hope

Optimist?...

We score here and still in it. The offense needs some momentum bad though.

defense

Even though the score doesn't show it, the defense has been pretty impressive today in my opinion

May we all get what we want and never what we deserve.

I agree

Once TD on a drive that should have been a fumble, one TD was a pick-6, one was off a punt muff....they have held Clemson to only 10 points on their own, and that doesn't even include Hopkins' push-off TD.

Spot on

Definitely! Against Clemson offense, great day. Don't forget their offense has only scored 24 of those and should've been a fumble before the last one.

agreed

Oster made it a good d

A new season...new hope

65 on offense

Who is that because he pancaked a guy on logans run for the td

A new season...new hope

New Hope? or just padding the score.....

Don't tune out yet you guys!

Also, you can hear part of the crowd chanting LET'S GO / HOKIES!

Awesome.

WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY?

and its over

What the f was that

A new season...new hope

STINEOCAINSPRING IS A GENIUS

wtf? wide receiver pass?... this game is over

haha oh man that playcall.

What kind of call is that?

There was no need for a trick play

"Got time. OHH a receiver wide open it's Royal!"

I hate O'Cain or

Stinespring...whoever it is that is making these calls. They are doing the players an injustice. That was not Davis' fault, that was the playcallers fault.

FIRE STINESPRING/OCAIN! NOW BEAMER, WEAVER

H_O_K_I_E_S-HOKIES!

Proud Member Of The Key Play Community Since January 2012.

if there was ever a play that was a clear indictment of the idiocy and ineptitude of the stinespring offensive regime it was that one.

And now the defense will give up more points

and we get to keep hearing about how great Clemson's O is, and how they started slow, but then really took it to our D...which is not the case at all.

Why run that play??? We were still in this game!
Someone needs to be fired this offseason...seriously

Agree.

Even

if it had worked, there is no need for that

"Got time. OHH a receiver wide open it's Royal!"

Imagine

IF MIKE LEACH WAS OUR OC!

Over react

I know everyone over reacts every week but O' Cain must go after this year.

Win one for the Beamer...

Both of them

Out

"Got time. OHH a receiver wide open it's Royal!"

do you guys think Shane can be OC and do it effectively?

H_O_K_I_E_S-HOKIES!

Proud Member Of The Key Play Community Since January 2012.

Ralph Friedgen

They need someone with OC experience.

i would gladly take Friedgen, plus i think him and Beamer are friends i believe i read that somewhere

Poor Foster

Great game prep, great execution for the most part...terrible help from the other side of the ball. Sounds very familiar to me.

Refs alone decided this game

Complete and utter joke.

Logan 3:16

This game was totally winnable guys.
So depressed due to so many stupid player, coaches, and ref mistakes

this has to be the final straw someone has to go Stiney/ocain or both

Starting to......

turn into a non believer here. What a sham. I would like to say im boycotting the rest of the season, but I can't because I dont think I can take my eyes off a trainwreck either. WTF is going on?

D_BAM

I could have easily accepted a loss to Clemson, hell I expected to lose this game. But not like this. We were completely robbed. And WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT PLAY CALL O'CAIN?!

Rip his freaking head off!

This is retarded

What's sad is that I'm still not sure who is calling each play. The way we have our offensive coaching set up is retarded.
If O'cain is making the calls, why do we have Stinespring still?? Yet O'cain can't come up with the offensive plan prior to the game, right?

Completely agree. Like I said in a thread a couple weeks ago, I hope they fire both of them and bring in Friedgen. This offense has the talent to be good like we saw at the end of last year. Fridge is a great OC, bring him in and we could take that next step as a program.

Also, if those two are fired then this was the most productive season short of a National Title that we could have.

Rip his freaking head off!

Long night ahead

now i have to go to work till 12 i was hoping to stoll into work proudly sporting my #3 jersey but now i shall be very annoyed all evening.

H_O_K_I_E_S-HOKIES!

Proud Member Of The Key Play Community Since January 2012.

I am absolutely floored by the ineptitude of the offensive coaches et al. Davis and Dyrell once again taking plays off, not sticking with your RB, and then a WR pass. I understand he used to be a qb, but you've been trying for yrs to get him to be a WR. You just drove the ball in very little time, why use a gimmick play? You would have thought the debacle punt fake last year would have taught you a lesson... The refs called a $#/¥ game, but that momentum killing pick is what lost the game. Per the usual O'cainspring go give ur damn check to Bud and go find a new job... Rant over.

in Fuller we trust

That ending to UMD-NCState was awesome. Tough break for Marylands kicker.
