"We got some things to clean up, excessive celebration for sure," Frank Beamer said while trying to hide a grin during his post-game conference.
Bucky Hodges' touchdown reception retook the lead for the Hokies 27-21.

There will be more substantial analysis this week, until then let's all celebrate with Bucky Hodges.

I'm sorry, I didn't see three pumps.
legleleglelgleleglelglegleg
Beat me to posting it - couldn't be a much more fitting gif
Haha credit to you anyway, it was your idea.
EDIT: GIVE THIS MAN SOME LEGS, HE TEXTED ME THIS IDEA
Those Rhinos... Act like you been there before!
just like the movie
schmoney!!!
Check the title you drunk bastard!!!! WE WON !!!
#FullyDipped
Excellent game recap!
Feels like a dream! So proud of the Hokies! Blacksburg has gotta be fun right now
Yep. I'm 8 years removed from under graduate studies. Just put my kids to bed, got drunk, watched Hokies, then rode my bike around Terrace View and Hunters Ridge...the Burg is in exceptionally rare form.
No, It is more fun here in Columbus, Nothing like seeing 101,000 buckeyes head to the exits early. Great win!
The guy behind me, said it looks like the Red Sea parting.
We also got another excessive celebration on the Don Riley TD didn't we? Not sure because the whole family was screaming at that point. Either way we need to do what Frank says... Great win but we can build from this! We celebrate now but we can beat anyone in the nation if we fix our mistakes! But for now... CELEBRATE!!
Yeah, I didn't understand those. Especially since the ENTIRE Buckeye team rushed on the field after their 2nd interception and that wasn't an excessive celebration penalty.
Great win! Now we need to avoid a trap against East Carolina who played tough against South Carolina today. Glad to see the special teams stepped up unlike against Alabama last year. Need to clean up the 107 penalty yards and the turnovers, but that is about it. Go Hokies!
And we are going to be banged up. Brewer and Dadi stood out as pretty hurt but there may have been many more. Very physical game.
Fuller
Corey Marshall. Woody Baron was in almost every series in the 4th quarter.
What a great game! I'm so proud of the entire team, everyone played their tails off. The offensive gameplay was well thought out and executed perfectly. Bud and the Boys played great once again! Couldn't be happier, GO HOKIES!!!
And the guy that came in for Fuller put the cap on it.
#2-Riley
12:00 kick offs are easier to handle after a win like that one.
I had a great pic to meme on imgur about 20 minutes ago, but...
the hardest part about tonight was collecting my drunk ass enough to cut up the footage for this gif. Once fully composed, I will start on a kick ass highlight video. I LOVE EVERYONE.
And I love you billdozerVT!!! TECH TRIUMPH!!!!
Can't wait!! Always dig your work!
The hardest part was not screaming/clapping/running through walls because my 4 month old was sleeping in the room right behind the tv. My future cheerleader is undefeated as a Hokie though!
can't wait I'm sure it'll be incredible
Where are we meating? Varsity club is $4.50 for bid light cans
At PJs
I'm not dreaming right, this is real. I spent 7 years living in Ohio, hearing how great anOSU is/was. How VT was "a good team" but couldn't compete with anOSU. God it feels so good.
Oh, and s/o to seth (I think that's who it was) who had $20 on the Hokies to win. Just won a cool two grand.
Dang, I would have put down at least $20 if somebody gave me those odds.
Where in the hell do you get 100/1 odds?
I could be mis-remembering his comment, but I thought that's what he said.

How many rails will 2k buy?
MONEYLINE BABY
it was 3.5/1 in vegas before the game
yea, I'm guessing that was a future odds. Maybe winning the ACC. Maybe making the playoffs. maybe winning the national championship, but it couldn't be the moneyline. I played the moneyline last night, I got +360, or 1-3.6.
Yeah, that is probably National Championship or playoff odds. I put $10 on sportsbook.com to put $2000 a couple weeks ago on National Championship. Every spring go to Vegas with some UNC buddies for part of the tourney and never leave without dropping at least $50 on it. Paying $6250 at the Hard Rock.
Had a total of 60 on Hokies to win straight up this weekend and it paid around $200. Missed a 6 team parlay with the Stanford loss by one pick. Best part was I was at the game and the phone died before game even started. Woke up next morning, charged it and checked out betting account and made about $300 on college football for the day.
This doesn't seem real! I don't have any nails left. I LOVE THIS TEAM SO MUCH, I JUST DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE TO SAY
The way Brewer got up after those crushing head blows, I was so hype, what a competitor and leader!
He responded after the fumble when the shoe was going crazy! That was one of the biggest takeaways for me tonight. I feel like Brewer learned some things about himself and the team learned a lot about their quarterback, which can help moving forward.
I think Brewer already knew that about himself. It's just that WE are learning that about him. He's not perfect. His arm is not a cannon. But... he produces. In the clutch, he produces even better. That's the value of having a Texas QB. As was mentioned early in the game - the state of Texas just produces huge volumes of elite QB talent. Their 7on7 programs, everything about the culture, it's like getting a speed player from Florida - they are in abundance.
Brewer definitely has the team behind him now, to be sure.
The TD pass to Bucky was picture perfect! Awesome win!
LEG!
copy/pasted from elevenwarriors, thought it was worth passing along....
"I wanted to give this thread a positive title because in actuality this is an extremely negative post. Tonight I sat in section 5c and couldn't be more disappointed In the OSU fans that sat in section. The majority of people in this section sat on their hands all game long and the ones that did stand probably only did so because I was standing in front of them. On the other hand, the hokie fans practically took over our stadium at times. Their 5k or so contingent easily out yelled our so called home deemed advantage for the duration of the game. I have to give them credit but I am more than saddened by the home crowd for this one. Did anyone else have a similar experience?"
Yes, my Buckeye friend who took me to the game said he has never heard a visiting team make so much noise! They got loud again in the third quarter, but the sacks in Q4 killed their spirit. What was great was all the complaining the Buckeyes around me were doing about their Oline and offensive play calling. I just sat there and smiled thinking of offenses past. Three turnovers, but brewer still was a leader.
The announcers even commented on the crowd noise a few time. Phrases like "not as loud as a jack hammer" and "can hear a pin drop" should never be used to describe a crowd of 107k at a sporting event.
Not fully dipped
I am thoroughly embracing the dork magic at this point.
But that sideline touch lob/pass to Sam Rogers was fully dipped! Great win!
Oh man, I have to say that I was disappointed in the OSU fanbase. The stadium was incredible, but the fans were not. They were not loud, for having that many people you would think that it would be deafening, and they left so early. Lane stadium is by far the better experience.
From eleven warriors:
Are you serious?! In the horseshoe?
Hokies rule!.....
Was sitting in section 2C, granted I believe we were in the alumni section, it was still too quiet for 107k fans. Hokies were yelling on almost every down on defense and Buckeyes needed a bell noise on 3rd downs for them to get loud. And we still weren't phased. It was glorious. Got me hyped for next year when they visit.
You know what else we won today?
Josh Sweat.
I hope
You could hear several times on TV, " Let's Go Hokies" so proud of our fans.
Glad to know you could hear us. Just had some victory drinks in hotel bar with 6 Hokies and known of us has a voice left. Feels real good!
Not just at the end either, multiplie times during the game. "Let's Go HOKIES" would echo across the shoe!!
#AWESOME. I thought I heard it while watching the game on E$PN, especially in the 3rd Quarter on, but kept telling myself that I must be mistaken. I mean, in a crowd of over 100,000 people could our small section of supporters out cheer the home crowd. Truely amazing!
You did, the anOSU fans tried to drown it out to no avail.
Let's enjoy this moment...who knows what happens the rest of the way, but for one night in front of 108,000 we rose to the occasion. So proud in this moment...
Oh man, so happy we won. Convincing Sweat to join VT would just be icing on the cake! Go Hokies!
When does he announce his decision? I heard he wanted to enroll early wherever he goes....
Man, my facebook friends in Ohio have already brought out the pitchforks for coaches and players.
Lord, you should have heard the USCe fans in Williams-Brice during the first quarter... (I left 40 minutes into the game to go watch VT). They were ready to burn the whole place down they were so frustrated. I have heard VT fans say mean things about players, but never in my life have I heard so much constant negativity from fans about their own team in their own stadium as I did tonight. It was terrible. I'm glad I had a reason to leave.
Also, I totally wore my Tyrod Taylor jersey in... Got lots of "go Hokies!" from the older, alum folk, and a massive amount of smirks/meanness from students. My favorite student was one behind me who decided to sarcastically yell "OHIO STATE" repeatedly during Sandstorm when the students yell "USC". Best part of the whole thing was that he wasn't even wearing USC gear... he had on coral and baby blue.
There is a reason I'm a Hokie first... Dude behind me today illustrated that perfectly.
I need some turkey legs so I can start up-voting posts!
But seriously, I have never been so proud of my school. They tied it up and we never, ever rang the bell. We made mistakes, we had penalties, and we won by 14. I wish I was in Blacksburg right now - I hope yall live it up. This team may not be the most talented/experienced but they will never back down from a fight. That is what being a Hokie is all about.
As my 8 year-old son said, "we didn't come here to lose this game."
MAN THIS ONE FEELS GOOD!
Damn, yo. Is your 8 year old's motto "Thug means never having to say you're sorry"?
You know what I loved? When Kendall Fuller got hurt the announcers said, "if I were the offensive coordinators, I would target whoever Bud Foster puts in"... Well, looks they definitely did target Donovan Riley on that pick six.
I turned to my buddy and said "are they stupid? "
To be fair, there is a reason he isn't a starter.
OSU should know that a Torrian Gray backup is not someone to target though.
he was in on a few plays earlier also, it's not like he was completely cold coming off the bench - that makes a big difference
Two reasons:
and
Long time lurker first time poster. What was that. That just happened. In my head it took finishing the bottle of Turkey 101 when they tied it up and converting my soul less ginger girlfriend to a hokie at the half with some Dork magic. But that just happened. Enjoy it hokies. I'm going out to get fully dipped.
This is a strong introductory post. LEGS.
Agree with French. Your command of TKP lingo belies your seemingly limited experience with our exceptional community.
Sorry, but "converting a ginger" deserved a second post. Legs!
After tonight, I believe in dork magic...it is SO REAL!
Careful bro. Soulless ginger girlfriends dork magically turn into soulless ginger wives. I hope she's not on the key play right now.....
At least it can wear this T-shirt though....
SAD BUCKEYE IS SAD
Guys are really hurting over at 11warriors right now about their offensive line. I feel like OUR Oline was looking pretty rough tonight and if they were on point it could have been an even worse beating. Anyway, I feel for those guys over there as their forum almost exactly reflects ours over the past few years. Some of those guys/ladies actually gave us some props.
"I'm going to hear about this loss for a while and I already am losing sleep thinking about the rematch in Blacksburg next year. "
If anyone is reading 11warriors forums now, I am, they are really hurt right now and I'm not a member but, I hope they can understand that we have and are still going through the same pains that they are going through even with the win. Ohio St. is a great team and the will be back up top soon. Much respect. I just feel if OUR O'line and some other things that they are complaining about that happened on their end worked for us, it could have been MUCH worse.
Literally the best day I have ever had as a student. Campus is going wild, everyone is going crazy. WE JUST BEAT OHIO STATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hopefully it doesn't get out of hand. Don't want to turn the joy into a negative about destroyed property or burning things( which I've already heard on the fire dispatch)
Oh man, I hope it doesn't get out of hand.
Burning a couch? Seriously? Someone's GPS is off by about 30 miles.
Guys. Tell me if you're with me on this. I had a feeling about this win. More than a gut feeling. It's something that is impossible to describe but I just knew. Seems like our entire fanbase felt this way
Ya man, Everyone here had no hope. I streamed it online but, had the radio going so every time we did something good I did a sad face for the several minute delay. They hated me for doing it but, loved when I countered with SCORE!!!!!!
French and Mason did a great job of pointing out OSU's weaknesses in their articles. Without their knowledge, I would've felt really insecure about the game. But, with French and Mason knowledge, comes power.
Yes, and it was a feeling I couldn't explain. The universe took all the positive feelings and manifested a win...lmao!!
I was at a game watching party and was asked by one of the people there before for the game, if I thought we would win.
I immediately said "Yes. We are going to win this game, and we are going to do it in a way that puts a stamp on what this team can accomplish this year."
After the looks of concern for my mental health, I got a few "I hope you're right" responses.
So the entire game when ever Sam Rogers did anything I was screaming CAPTAIN AMERICA to the annoyance of presaid soul less ginger girlfriend. Which made perfect sence to me untill other nerd friend informed comic captain America name is Steve Rogers. I therefore petition hokie nation to demand comic captain Americas name to be changed to Sam Rogers
"Steve" is Sam's Alias.
Actually, in an upcoming storyline, Falcon (SAM Wilson), is going to be Captain America.

I'm almost drunk enough to follow this.
I heard the hokies chants on tv. I waked into a state college bar tonight after the game with all my vt gear on and got cheers and free drinks. I drank bud, fosters, and wild turkey.
my buddy texted me a deangelo hall tweet saying that it was a good way to waste 15 yards (regarding the first excessive celebration).
I'm basking in the reflected glory of this win. I'm so happy
I had people on my TL retweeting so many of our former players, it was amazing. D-Hall, David Wilson, Kam Chancelor, Michael Vick, Erick Green, Malcom Delaney, Jack Tyler, Antone Exum, Darryl Tapp, Bruce Arians, and many more. It was definitely cool to see. Once a Hokie, always a Hokie
Even Steph Curry tweeted about us before the game
Yes, thank you. I didn't see it when I went over to his twitter when I tried to post this
I had to search. It was under "Tweets & Replies" or something like that
This is just glorious.
I cannot accurately express my feelings right now, so I'll just say that I love Virginia Tech, I love this team, and I love TKP.
And I am truly looking forward to going to law school this week. I'm wearing orange and maroon all week for the second week in a row. BOOM.
Make sure you read the fine print in the dress code.
Luckily my professional wardrobe is also full of burnt orange and chicago maroon.
HAHAHA I love this. I go to law school as well and my Contracts professor from last year is a big Buckeye fan, he grew up in Columbus. I'll be civil about it all...but I can't wait to rock Orange and Maroon this week!
Side note: if any of you all are gonna make it to the VT games in NC, I'll be around, since that's where my law school is.
My property professor is the same (had him 2 years ago). He went to OSU for undergrad and law school.
Are you in Buies Creek?
Can't wait to beat them again next Labor Day night in Blacksburg!
Upset.... Maybe but we led or were tied the whole game! Rankings r BS until Oct.
I don't even know what to say, this might be the best Win I've seen from the Hokies since maybe the 07 Title Game rematch with BC. Just so immensely satisfying to look dominant on defense, competent on offense. Feels like good things are not far away.
GO HOKIES. I watched this game by myself at home and I'm still hoarse from all the yelling this game required.
Agreed. I actually got in trouble for waking the kids...
#dadlife
I think I'm probably in trouble with the next door neighbor for waking their kids from my living room.
BTW fellow Hokies, we have a QB and an offense!
Damn we got after that QB so often. Pulled this from DHall's twitter:
No, just 11 pissed off dudes and a madman on the sidelines!
You know what's awesome?
Iz da HOKIES bak?
ESPN just gave our our entire front 7 defense a helmet sticker because they couldn't decide on a single player. Yes, I stayed up until 3 AM just to see that.
Me too man, me too.
Me too...it was worth it
But not our DBs as well? Had 3 picks and locked down their speedy wideouts the whole game. Interesting.
Pj's hits you like a rock
"Fat Bastard". It contained chicken tenders, spicy fries, bacon, Mac n cheese, ketchup and mayo. It was heavenly!
moment of silence for your morning after stomach pains
It is all part of the experience
Was that pic before or after?
There is dork magic in the air!
Why not
I just finished watching on DVR and I had a few tears of joy run down as Donovan Riley ran down the sideline into the endzone. Facyson, Fuller, Bonner, and Jarrett really showed why #DBU has the best secondary in the nation. The Hokies are back and this is just the beginning! I just love how College Football Final has put the VT helmet back on the shelf during the show with THE ENTIRE DEFENSIVE FRONT 7! getting a helmet sticker, Rece Davis said he just couldn't decide on one player.
I watched the first half at my roommates friends house. Then we walked to Sharky's. anOSU scored once, twice, so I went to champs where my buddies were. It was insane. I was hugging and high fiving everyone. With a minute left they started playing Enter Sandman and the place went nuts. I sat back and had tears in my eyes. The win. The fans. The students. It was so beautiful. We ran down the stairs and into the street. I was high fiving people in cars that drove down Main Street. We went to TOTS and people streamed by the line giving us high fives and yelling "LET'S GO!" 5 hours later I found myself outside of Cassell Coliseum amid giddy Hokies flooding toward the buses of returning football players. I put my arm around Luther Maddy and said "Luther, you don't know how happy you made us. You should've seen downtown." He said, "I heard, man" "It was crazy. Thank you. Keep it up, we're so happy for you, congratulations."
I've only been here for the past two years. I had to suffer the only two under 10 win season's in years. This is so amazing, I'm a kid at a candy store, I can't believe what I just saw.
that's fully dipped dork magic right there! glad the players and coaches got the reception they deserved!
In case you missed it, this was main street after the game. Sorry for the ridiculous amount of blurry and shakiness, I was more interested in jumping than filming at the time. Go Hokies!
No biggie.
It just looks/sounds like the NEZ during a defensive series.
(jk, awesome, thanks for posting!)
Went to walk the dog after the game and I could hear the Hokies chants all the way down main street on Ellett. By the time my gf and I got downtown most of it was blocked off, but people were still in the streets. Craziness!
GREAT story, man. That's some lifetime remember-ies right there. What a night!
No spelling errors on my drunken 5 am rant? go me.
I'm in Richmond, but when the game ended I seriously considered driving to Blacksburg. I envy you being there for that experience. Enjoy every minute. See you Saturday.
I think what makes it even better was that I've been dealing with chronic cluster headaches and migraine sypmptoms for the past much which were so bad that I came to school a week late and really thought I wouldn't be able to attend this semester. I wasn't able to go to the W&M game. I could feel a headache coming on Saturday morning and I too a serious migraine pill so I'd be able to watch the game. That night was my first night going out this year, and it was a great night to be downtown. Hopefully I'll be healthy Saturday and go to my first game this season.
Fuck Yes!!!! I love being a HOKIE!!!!!!!!!! Great Game!!!!
Extremely frustrating game, from an OSU fan perspective, but hats off to VT. Our OC is a genius. A literal genius. A member of MENSA. And yet, he didn't make adjustments to allow quick passes and chose to simply hit circle and square on his remote and throw it into excellent press coverage downfield...repeatedly. Our run D was excellent, but Brewer (who I'm convinced was concussed at the beginning of the 4th and kept playing through it, and well) killed us on 3rd downs.
All of that venting out of my system, Foster had a great game plan of rushing our young QB and they executed it well.
Good luck the rest of the year!
Good luck to your guys, too. Thanks for dropping by to talk football - you're always welcome here. Nothing but respect for OSU and their fans. We'll see you in Lane next year!
If your OC is a MENSA member, maybe Bud Foster is a member of, I dunno, secret-super-elite-MENSA or something...
I'll be back on this site next year for sure. Would love to attend. Haven't been to Blacksburg since 2000 on a school visit where my dad and I may or may not have snuck into the football complex and seen Vick lifting.
It would be amazing to see Braxton back and playing next year too.
Bud Foster is probably illuminati
Winner.
Uh, probably?
Plausible deniability.
Bud Foster is a member of an elite group of super defensive coordinators who have undergone a strict regimen. There are questions as to whether or not this is ethical, but the fact of the matter is is that he can rip just about anything in half and can come up with absolutely bonkers blitz packages.
We've got a Defensive Coordinator with frick'n laser beams.
Bud Foster has a very particular set of skills, skills he has acquired over a very long career. Skills that make him a nightmare for people like OSU
Last night was one of my most awesome nights ever. My best friend,an OSU graduate and I watched the game together last night. He had been riding me about how easily OSU was going to handle Hokies. Is it ok that I took great joy watching him leave with his head between his legs? Ah, victory can be so sweet.
Woke up this morning and wanted a rail.
Rode it out high on Brush Mountain and gave it up at 1:30 but the wife & I laid in the bed looking at all the tweet pics from downtown & Columbus. Just had to get up and come to TKP to get back in the celebration mood of last night. I have to admit that even without any imbibing, I feel like my "dipometer" is sitting on empty. With some Eight O'clock Italian Roast and the all your TKP posts, I feel like it will read fully dipped in a few. I know it is still early but it still feels like we won something big here and to hear "Let's Go Hokies" over the 100K plus anOSU fans, gave us goosebumps. I never heard Scot so out of character when Burnop interviewed him afterwards.....He was so giddy....
It's 5:30 here in AZ. I think I went to sleep around midnight, and quite frankly had to get up early just to read about the game again and throw on the DVR.
Such a huge win in its own right. But to do it at the friggin Horseshoe, with that crowd.... Just makes it 1000 times sweeter.
Don't you mean 108,000 times sweeter?
Fantastic win. What made it even more special was that it was in front of the 2nd largest college football crowd in history (behind any games played in Michigan stadium).
Hmmmm, how could we top that?................
Pretty sure we'll take opposing crowd noise out of the equation there, too. Did anyone else notice how far the stands were from the field last night? It was more evident in the pregame pics where you saw the stadium. I found that curious.
I'm sure that a bunch of people noticed this as well but Jarrett played out of his mind tonight. He had two picks and delivered a crushing block on that long punt return.
Also, I think Conte is a good lineman.
You know what else I noticed tonight? The RBs, even though they weren't all that successful.
- Shai wasn't as effective today
- Marshawn just does not go down. But please protect the ball while you're not going down
- JC had a few great gains on the sweeps, his elusiveness got him a bunch of yards, and he tossed the lateral to Sam Rogers on the play that looked like it was supposed to be a halfback pass
- Trey nailed a critical block to spring Deon Newsome
he played so hard core that the announcers thought he was a LB for half the game.
I love how Kyshoen absolutely loses his shit after he makes a play. He slaps himself in the head and acts like he can't believe that what he did. He's been such a rock for that secondary.
Have an ex who is a Buckeye. Got several "I hate you so much" texts. So awesome.
It was truly an awesome win. In fact, it probably rates up there as the biggest win that I've ever experienced!!!
welp, I just woke up and I am still drunk from last night and I couldn't ask for anymore. The best thing I saw from our team last night besides our stout defense was our resilience. Other VT teams that were up big and let the other team come back and tie would usually succumb to the pressure and usually lose the game. But not this team, this team is one of the most complete teams I have seen in my 14 years of watching Hokie football (I'm 24!). The fact that we finally have a QB that can see his progressions and get the ball down the field is such a great feeling. I think we will really know what kind of football team we have when they play ECU next week. We either keep it rolling and play like we did last night or play down to an inferior team like we have in the past. Regardless.... ITS A GREAT DAY TO BE A HOKIE!!!
Congrats on 1k Legs!! Here's another for reaching the milestone!
Thank you fellow TKPer! My TKP game struggled earlier on when I first signed up during my time at VT as I would just read the comments here on TKP, but ever since starting to constantly comment and add to a lot of the conversations here, I have enjoyed TKP much more.
I just had the most amazing dream! I dreamed we scored 35 points and beat up Ohio State's offense, winning a game at the Horseshoe in Columbus! I mean... it HAD to be a dream, right? The Buckeyes don't lose non-conference games in Ohio, right?
Is this video from the LOLUVA corner?
First time poster here.
I think this GIF is awesome in showing one of our playmaking freshman [Bucky] getting his groove on (I dare anyone to not boogie down in that scenario and in no way do I hold him at fault) while another of our freshman [iFord] is poised enough to come over and sort of rein him in as if to say "Awesome catch, but this things not over. Let's celebrate on the sideline."
Just what popped out to me.
I mean, I guess that's a pretty good start.
I wouldn't rely on the WWL for much analysis, though
You know what? Thats what's been pissin me off. I can't fully enjoy the win because of ass clowns saying how bad OSU played. I'm like, "fuck you, OSU isn't bad, we're just that good."
Teach me how to Bucky,
Teach me, teach me how to Bucky.
All the Hokies love me.
Statement from an Ohio State fan on other site
"If I used a snickers wrapper as a condom, I'd still have better protection than JT did in the pocket"
Be careful on the roads fellow Hokies in Columbus, the tears are flooding the streets
Pretty funny.
ESPN reporter asked Bewer "What do you think a "Hokie" is?" to which he replies "I'm supposed to say "I am!"
Yeah, it was pretty funny. Dude got at least one concussion last night I'm betting, so the fact that he was putting words and thoughts together coherently is kind of impressive.
I put the over/under on Brewer's concussions last night at 1.5
Yes, it did. To be fair, he's only been on campus since May, and has spent more time on the playbook than on memorizing Hokie traditions. I only wished he had given the obvious response - 'A winner!'
Also, we've been in the national spotlight (in one way or another) for over fifteen years now. Any sports media person who asks that is just lazy. I mean, how many people know what a Buckeye is? I do, but I bet many don't. Nor do they know what a Hoosier is, a Tar Heel, etc.
To be fair, though, as long as we call our mascot "Hokie Bird" and refer to those little magnetic footprint things as "Hokie Tracks," you can't really blame them for confusing Hokie and Gobbler.
Lane better be a sellout for the ECU game. All those students who were in the streets had better be in stands before the game starts. Need people to see what Hokenation is. Don't let this chance get away.
I'll be there!
If you had asked me Friday I would have told you we weren't going. But Saturday night/Sunday morning we decided we should go.
I stood in amazement this morning looking at the bourbon bottle and how much I drank last night and how I didn't have a hangover.
Remember that time we went up and beat Ohio State in front of a record crowd in their stadium? Yeah that was frickin awesome. I think I have righted the damage from the noon start tailgate, through the fifth of jack and airplane bottles snuck in socks, to closing down High street and celebrating in the Columbus streets at 3 AM. Wow! What a game! File that in the same folder as the Nebraska comeback, the WVU Shane graham and Vincent fuller games, and the ACC championship revenge game against Matt fucking ryan. We aren't back, we never left.
Bucky can dance if he wants to.
He can leave us 15 yards behind.
Cause Ohio State didn't dance and if they don't dance then they're no friends of mine.
I thought that was the dance we do after we score a safety.
Dance magic, dance!
Some more? Sure!
This was my favorite crowd reaction shot.
