I hope this isnt the last game of our season.
Wish I was there with my extended family
I'm nervous.
Win, lose or a gaping suckhole of a vortex pending, this shall be my companion for the evening
That stuff is dangerous for store bought shine. Good luck my friend!
Thanks. I'm only doing half shots. I CAN QUIT ANYTIME I WANT!
I've lived in Culpeper for half my life and still haven't tried that stuff
I'm scared. I don't remember being this scared in 2012 either even though we had the same record.
That's because UVA was legitimately bad.
Hoos your Daddy? Clap clap clapclapclap
More like Hoos your Dadi? AMIRITE!
Clap clap clapclapclap
Would love to see some Fosterball, Beamerball, and some sort of offense tonight. GO HOKIES!
It's my birthday, I'm drunk, and I hate the shit out of LOLUVA. Let's fucking do this!
That's the spirit
Happy birthday! May you receive the ultimate gift tonight (number 11).
I could use a pick me up after watching my Cowboys roll over to the Sheagles least night... ugh. ..
Anybody watching it out in the Bedford/SML area?
I never approach anything in life scared, concerned, yes, scared, never! Partly because I'm a Hokie! So tonight I'm concerned, but not scared! So let's show up tonight and give 'me hell like you've never given a team before! Straight out of our fight song: "With winning hopes, we fear defeat no longer! Let's GO HOKIES!
I feel like I'm about to walk into a gladiator fight. Yes the program could win and it will be awesome. But it also could die.
HATE WEEEEEEEEK ends tonight! We shall dine on the downtrodden hopes of the Cavaliers late in to the evening, dammit!
Remeber the cup is still ours for another couple of hours at least
Still an hour until kickoff I can't wait, guess Ill have to pass the time with my shinny new Xbox One.
No matter what happens, I love you all.
Go HOKIES!
Beat me to it!
I'm getting all emotional. No, the bourbon has absolutely nothing to do with it...
You guys are making feel like I'm gearing up for battle!
*montage with dramatic music plays*
This what you're looking for?
1.) Same outfit as the night of the Ohio State game - check.
2.) Same meal from B-Dubs as the night of the Ohio State game - check.
3.) Same selection of beers as the night of the Ohio State game - check.
4.) Same spot on the couch as the night of the Ohio State game - check.
5.) Playing BilldozerVT's 'Virginia Tech Football Power Hour' via YouTube again - check.
6.) Same nervous, anxious, apprehensive feeling as the night of the Ohio State game - check.
Everything seems to be in order.
I haven't been this excited, anxious and nervous for a game since we played Ohio State. So I feel ya. I wrote on FB that this has to be a good sign and my phone changed good to God, so there ya have it. We're freaking winning tonight, GO HOKIES!!
What Billdozer said.
Time to fully dip and dork some magic one more time boys. And hopefully one more time after that.
I'm not ready for VT football to be done for the season so we gotta win
I have intestinal gas and a full bottle of Jack. I hope the Hokies bring as much!
The only bourbon my parents have in the house is Kentucky Gentleman.... Eghhh fuck it!
Lets Go Hokies!
I'm already poised to just drop the beers, and switch to the high test lucky charm. With a game of this magnitude, I have given the in-home chauffeur the night off - we are walking to the nearest bar (high 60's, so why not?).
But that means she is now my drinking buddy.
May God have mercy on her soul.
Wish you all were here
Shot all around, boys and girls!
GO HOKIES!!!
All I ask is that we beat UVA. We can lose the bowl game 70-0 and I won't care if we beat UVA.
This is how I feel as well.
Wooooooo cheap whiskey!!!
...but the hangover!
I LOVE YOU ALL!!
Any decent streams for us folks overseas?
Go Hokies!
I really really hate Lou Holtz and Mark May.
Amen brother!
Mark May is a dick!
he did play for pitt
Does Lou Holtz know what planet he is on?
Lou Holtz can't even pronounce "planet"
Mark May is a douch and never mentions a thing about 14 season ending injuries to key players.
Of course ESPN ruins Sandman for the Hokies Nation watching from home.
I STILL JUMPED (BTW IM PULLING A JOE FOR THIS GAME)
The first thing the announcers talk about is the eSpnEC.
There we go!!!!!
Shut up and show enter sand man
Headband: Check
HorseOnATreadmillShirt: Check
Rocked out to Enter Sandman: Check
Clear eyes.
Full hearts.
Can't lose.
Headband comes through again
getting chippy there
Let em fight!!!
Thats awesome
Glad to see theyre fired up
Friday night fights...bring it on!
Somebody gif Motuapuaka pls
Come on Beamerball!
Settle down, special teams
Would love to see us knock their QB down all night!
I said this last year and I'll say it again: Greyson Lambert is the most UVA name of all time.
Max amillon or something like that a few years ago.
It would have better if it was Greyson Lambert IV
Great D! Let's show some O now!
Alright, time to put this turdbucket in mobile!
holy shit we're going to win this game
Open w a receiver screen for 1 then a run for a loss then deep ball incomplete. Nice opening drive.
that was the "predictable" side of our unpredictable OC.
Aaand let the shitfest commence
First drive for each team went with about the same exact play calls. No wonder...
Pregame festivities made Deadspin.
This feels like a war....I fricking love it!!!
Every play feels like the last
That D is fired up.
What a duck of a throw.
We didn't go 3 and out!!
I didnt realize ford was a white guy...
love how i. ford looks just like a. ford.
same screen that lost the fumble
NOT Isaiah Ford on the graphic
When did Ford turn into a white guy? Crazy...
Isaih ford is white now
short passing game = offense. GO HOKIES!
Paperboi! Special delivery mfers!
Not too easy to stop a strong running QB.
I think we already have more total yards than last week.
Motley is not "down." Sorry announcers.
I am liking the fact that something has been working and then we stuck with it and we moved down the field so far.
Man, having a mobile qb really opens things up
it helps our misdirection blocking scheme were we let guys through every play
Hey we don't suck.
haha thought shane was going to kiss Coleman on the 3rd down pick up
STICK IT IN! STICK IT IN! STICK IT IN!
I hope he can walk off that ankle injury
Bucky didn't look happy there.
fade to bucky
The scoring streak is alive. ITS ALIIIVEEE
MORE POINTS THAN ALL OF LAST WEEK IN REGULATION! PROGRESS!
If nothing else, we don't have to watch another 0-0 game.
Strike! First blood.
we drove down the field. Only a FG but I ain't mad
Would've loved a throw to the back pylon, but...it's points.
it was there...Brewer didnt try to make it
hope Motley's injury isn't serious.
Man this team is snakebitten when it comes to injuries!!!
especially with players that run the ball.
fingers crossed
39 points. give me the under
uncatchable ball
It also isn't interference if they tangle feet and the WR falls.
Sigh...every fucking game
this is why we can't have nice things
Glad to see Chase back on the field to kick some Hoo ass!
28 FG in 24 tries? Man he's good.
I guess lambert thinks he is playing Basketball sending all those bounce passes
Tied at 3.
I think the WKU-Marshall game was, like, 49-42 at the end of the first quarter.
close, that was half time.
Well the play calling wasn't bad for a while. Now we are continuing to run east and west again
Yep. So frustrating to see all this sideways garbage.
Boy there definitely seems to be a directive of these announcers to crap all over us at every opportunity tonight...
Wow, Loeffler made it through a few series before reverting to Wake mode.
That wasnt Wake mode...Wake mode is when your protection goes one way and the blitz comes from the other
Anyone catch Beamer's pre-game interview comment about talking over something with the team earlier in the day "back at the hotel". WTH? This is a home game, why would the team be at a hotel prior to this game, or has CFB lost it?
We have done that for years. The team stays in Roanoke together.
Ah, thanks for filling me in on that.
I thought it was Salem
Hotel Roanoke, last I heard, but I have no idea if that's normal or if it changes.
Hotel Roanoke.
They do it to get away from distractions.
It's a nice place but doesn't take space away from hotels in Blacksburg.
normal procedure for our team.
WANG IS LIMP I REPEAT THE WANG IS LIMP!
Ohio State Brewer right there!!!
Why, why WHY the hell do our WRs ALWAYS run backwards instead of forwards whenever they catch the ball!?!?
can't do that
That's pocket awareness right there
Butts
JC coleman should not have pass blocking responsibilities
That's the problem, he is not responsible for them.
Thats not true. Backs have responsibilities on blitzes and also to chip.
But he is not taking that responsibility.
i see what you did there . . .
Heh heh
Well thanks Brewer for being consistent at inconsistency.
Fuck brewer. He just dropped that ball. Leave him out of the game
ah water under the bridge...true qb competition next year
Good D!
Goal post playing d for us
Is there a game in Alabama tomorrow? I'm just not convinced yet!
#1 is #1. GO HOKIES!
Do Auburn and Alabama play in a rivalry game?
Only on e$pnEC.
FUCK ESPN's coverage dont show the first down play then show the side line report talking about injuries for another game
Super overthrow. Dang.
punting is winning!
Great punt and great hands!
Epic
How does it feel?
I smell a safety...
Congrats to Isaiah! I thought he might have gotten it there.
The Punt the best offensive play
#waterboyoffense
Brewer fucking over throwing our WR every gsme
Fondue has already taken 2 TOs. Guess leaving it all on the field.
Did some kid in the crowd actually have a #HokieRespect sign?!?
The kid standing next to him was flipping double birds in the shot too.
Oh that's outstanding
This 3rd n 8 decides a lot
OH MY!
SUCK ON THAT
BEAMERBALL"!!!
HOLY DOGSHIT YES!!!!! OH FUCK YES!!!
Beamerball!!!
What makes that block so great is that it was against PooVA. GO HOKIES!
FUCK YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That touchdown belongs to AJ Hughes
Fuck yes, BEAMERBALL
OOOH OOOOOH I remember this!!!! It's called Beamerball right??? YES!!!!
Exactly what we needed
CJ REAVIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
Now that I have calmed down. All I want to say. Is fuck yes!
One great special teams play, a little bit of solid D, and another great special teams play.
Now if we could cover KOs
FULLY DIPPED.
Punter dork magic
JFC with this SEC bullshit they are pumping
Beamerball has been replaced by Buckyball.
Reavis made that one though
Hot. Buttered. Sh!t.
Beamerball
Well that is a bummer
Aaand then there's that.
Makes me sad that the defense couldn't follow the block up with some solid play.
Good Lord, bonner you bite on that?
wish #34 would have been there to clean that up though.
London isn't holding the TOs this game.
Detrick Bonner is not impressed with Taquan Mizzell's speed.
Bonner got straight beat by Mizzell
Lambert looks like a 5 year old on a tantrum.
The legend of Bucky Hodges grows. I think, he may somehow shoot lightning bolts from his are.
hahahaha timecop jr.!
It's OK, Mike London still has 3 timeouts
That looked like the second time we got caught shifting on defense for a big play.
I'm a few minutes behind, so don't mind my messages people.
BEAMERBALL
Characteristic excellent use of timeouts by Mike London
Defense is bending, but not broken.
Offense?
Still broken.
Bonner running that guy down turned out to be pretty huge there
So tired of hearing about the iron bowl.
What is that? some sort of college post season bowl?
Its new years eve...oh wiat
Time for our O to do something other than suck.
Get Knowles off the field please
#80 is no longer allowed to return kickoffs.
Do not backtrack at your own 5, holy shit
What on gods earth was that?
Bench Knowels
And that is the return of 2014 BEAMER BALL
Knowles has no place on the field. Ever.
I wont miss Knowles...not at all
a better throw and that was a TD.
Nice. Special teams miscues, penalties, and general offensive stalling :(
Can somebody explain to me just WTF the offense is doing on the sideline in between possessions!?
Rooting for more punt blocks?
still no offense. only scoring drive was with Motley in. frustrating.
Understatement of the year?.....brewer just isn't very good.
God damnit. Gonna call a helmet to helmet on us?
At the risk of agreeing with Danny Kannell, it does look like there's a lot of chirpin' going on out there. I would hope our guys aren't starting it.
QuVa is asking a ton of crap.
Knowles KO return average is like 18 yards.
That ref wants to call targeting. Horrible.
The guy is being thrown down, he can't plan to hit the guy in the head if he is being tossed
WTF
HORRIBLE CALLL
THAT IS HORRIBLE!
I care about the kids and all but this helmet to helmet stuff is getting out of hand.
It seems like needs to be treated more like horse collars call it when it is obivous
WOW. That is an insane call.
BS TARGETING CALL!!!!
That's an absolute horsefuck of a call, what is that?
WORSE CALL SINCE THE SUGAR BOWL
Fuck you refs you mother fucking cunt shits. Targeting and ejection? Fuck you face mask is not crown
Get off your knees ref, you're blowing the game
Crown and launch my ass
Wow did the ACC pick up some PAC 12 refs
I can't believe the ref called that targeting. If the refs are consistent, they could call that on almost every play. Pathetic.
Worst fucking call since the sugar bowl.
Well it's about fucking damn time the opposing team got penalized for fucking once.
Man...where the fuck were you going Knowles?
Also, if brewer had an arm...
I hope we get a decleater on this punt return
Your face is now the crown of the head. You are launching when your foot is on the ground and you make contact 3 feet off of the ground.
Let's attempt to run the ball towards the endzone?
WTF happened to Williams knee brace.
you're not good at your job mr. ref!
Edited
Because he got hit from behind? get the fuck out of here with that shit.
Yes, he has no goddamned pocket awareness, stop with the excuses, he's a fuckingr disaster.
At a certain point eat the fucking sack... He just cost us the lead. He has zero pocket presence and it kills us
100% on Wade (LT). "barely" blocked his man. Nothing Brewer could do.
And he's one tough SOB for taking the hits he has (since OSU) and coming back.
Well this could get interesting
Oh FFS, Brewer...WTF is he doing out there?
This is getting ridiculous. It is completely unsustainable to continue with offense like this.
This team is such a dumpster fire right now
are you shitting me?
Brewer and Motley hurt. Dang.
That bullshit penalty was the turning point.
ROGERS for QB
Bad comment
no need for that here
Maybe it's because I'm drunk but yes.
Get the fuck out of here with that shit
Totally uncalled for.
Uncalled for, yes, so it was deleted.
Is having no QB a better option for our offense?
oh god
Is UVA out of timeouts for the half already?
Like I said to all you Brewer defenders. The kid Sucks. He's a cancer to this team, put in Motley even if he's hurt
Great run JC!
What no flag on that hit?
Hurry up and get to the fucking line dammit!
Why did SL call play action when UVA WONT RESPECT IT? And we have little time AND Brewer cannot pull off a fake.
Lets hear it for that O line again!
if we are averaging more than 3.33/carry; keep running.
Brewer needs to take a seat. I hope he's doesn't play another snap. Fumble and an INT for TD.
Well bad news, I think he will be in the next series
Pick wasn't really his fault. The pressure got him. He maybe should have eaten it.
Edited because I'm drunk and unhappy. Aplogies
Well. What the fuck. Mtley hurt now.
This looks bad, really bad. Someone's redshirt is gonna get burned tonight, guys.
This gonna get interesting
Durkins. He can run the wild turkey.
Our offensive line just knocked 2 QBs out of the game...
Why was there so many people there? Seriously, Brewer is pissing everyone off but UVA is getting to both quarterbacks crazy fast.
Brewer is doing a terrible job blocking and getting open on his routes
Say goodbye to the Cup. I know we have a number of backups, but these coaches have to at least attempt to have them ready to play
our o line is getting our qbs hurt wtf
I wonder if they also got our running backs hurt...easier for guys to t-off on them etc
Shai and williams were hurt on cuts. Didn't get hit I believe.
Good point...I just get jealous of Alabama and other schools with work horse backs
Williams got hit from the side after he had planted his leg. Trying to make a cut, but still hit with full weight on one leg.
Yep. Losing Benedict and Shuman bf the season and McLaughlin during it killed us. That said coaches should have had some guys ready to hi
Why would any QB want to play behind that line?
Beamers complete fault for keeping Newsome employed that long
It's up to Bud, as usual.
Please no more TO's. Be happy we are only down 3. Go into locker room and find an offense!
Leg for beating me to it.
I would laugh so hard if Bucky was our QB and he aired it out
Our D has only given up 6 tonight. Can our offense please score, somehow?!
why are we calling timeouts...Who is going to lead the offense?
Bucky
If we played both QBs at the same time, maybe UVA would sack the wrong one.
Pretty nice pass for a hurt dude
Brewer is just about broken in half and is still slinging it better than he has all game. He may not be an awesome QB, but that guy is playing his nuts off for us.
Michael. Fucking. Brewer.
One tough son of a bitch.
OFFSIDES?!?!?!?!?
They were and we missed the FG by about two yards.
Brewer is fixed!
Why are we moving the pocket after our qb gets injured should have been doing that sooner
Well that's swell play calling
Slye finally had a long FG on target but for the first time, didnt have the distance
That crazy kick meter...
it will "get after ya!"
this is so frustrating. I don't know if our offense can score tonight. Need something special from our D in the 2nd half.
I swear these refs have blown a few calls. They have been horrible. Almost as bad as our offensive line.
Horrendous.
Bucky caught that ball.
Blown pass interference call.
Terrible targeting call.
Missed the offsides.
TKP Exclusive image of the offensive staff's halftime huddle.
They more than earned this deficit at halftime...
You have 30 minutes left in the season to outscore Virginia by 4...if we don't, season over. And with 2 hurt QBs, it ain't looking good.
well we get the ball back after half time
Technically we get the option. Maybe we give it to our D instead? (Tic?)
Pull a texas?
We are averaging 4.4ypc on the ground. Gives me a little hope.
One thing is for sure... The coaches now have their excuse should we lose this game with the injuries... Nevermind the fact that the shit OL is the cause of the injuries...
How are they suppose to fix that from last week to this?
I'll say again: I really hate Holtz and May. A lot.
The dynamic duo
Did you know the iron bowl is tomorrow?
no I think it is next week
What's an "Iron Bowl"?
I think that's what Bud Foster uses for his cereal.
I switched it to South Park for the time being but it ended :(
They actually do legitimately not like each other. It's not an act, which makes it hilarious.
Mark May was cracking up while Lou was rambling/mumbling along. Gotta be more professional than that Mark, let the audience do the laughing.
Surprised the Holtz didnt say that Notre Dame deserved to be in the Final 4
The second half should be interesting.
So is this Alabama Auburn thing new for this year? cause it seems like it
No, but for the first time I know the weather at that game and was given it by a Sports station instead of a Weather channel.
I want to be a weather man for ESPN
Fuck. This. Shit. Just...fuck it all.
Rerun of Hawaii Five-O is on Fox if this too much for you.
Grab a beer and relax. It's been this way all year (and pretty much last year, too).
Over/under on my whiskey consumption in the second half? I'm going with 8.5 shots worth. Taking the over
I'll take the over.
I'm still holding out hope that we finally spring that long run or long pass for a score. Maybe Newsome comes back in disguised as David Wang and we throw a tackle eligible to him wide open way down.
We've got them right where we want them!
hell yeah on that.
Phil Steele reminds me of a 70s porn star.
...not that I've ever watched one...
I have. Worth it once. Dont make a habit of it.
Technically based on the fact we scored, our offensive output is infinitely times better than last week.
Not that it is much but it is something.
baffling
I SAID IT BEFORE. GET KNOWLES OFF THE FIELD
I definitely like how we are playing in this game as compared to last week anyway. That's admittedly not saying much.
Why in the fuck is he still allowed to return the football.
Frank puts Knowles in the game...
Frank
Frank needs to be put to pasture
Good job Knowles...just terrible!!!
Although we probably have a better chance of scoring on defense than offense...
This is where having Newsome ejected really hurts. Who is our next returner after Knowles? (Coleman is already on the field)
Good point.
Anyone else.
Seriously. Anyone.
The good news is if they don't score. Knowles will not return another kick.
Demetri Knowles is a senior, right?
What a fucking disaster he is.
Dam it Knowles
Please bench Knowles. Immediately.
knowls should not have touched the field after the first shit return he really shouldn't be on the girls again tonight
I've argued against it all year, but Stroman needs to go back there for kickoffs with JC. There's just no other option. Hell, put Kyshoen out there.
I just can't believe what has happened to Demitri Knowles over the course of his career here at VT. What happened to him?
My guess is that he got surpassed by the Freshmen and went in the tank mentally, at least somewhat.
Don't blame Knowles, blame the coaches who keep playing him.
I'm guessing Newsome being out is part of it, but I'm not disagreeing with you
"Fuck Michael Brewer"
Says the guy who brought up the UVA rapes....
Well its not meant to be this year....
that looked like PI to me. However, I'll take it.
Well Buds boys bail everyone else out...
Again.
I can't even be happy for that because I know the offense is gonna waste it.
Jarrett balling out and bailing Knowles out.
If Beyonce touches the football again I'm gonna freak out...he needs to never touch a football again.
2nd and 15 is not what we need right now.
Tell me Bud hasn't at least thought to himself for 10 years that taking the option to receive
DON"T MAKE ANY G_DMN SENSE!!!!
well, the run game worked; so we passed.
Keep em off balance )
Can we just get a competent offense? Please? Not great, not even good. Just competent. That's all I ask
3 downhill runs and a 1st down. Immediately followed by 3 passes
If UVa goes up 10 here, that might be the game
Well when you put it that way
so true. so sad.
so many sadz...
But hey we got three points. That's obvious improvement so we don't need to change anything.
MOTELY SHOULDN'T HAVE A COAT ON STANDING ON THE SIDELINE. GET THAT GUY IN THE GAME!
I'm guessing that is an indication that he is too injured to go
Motley needs to hand his coat and his popcorn to Knowles.
#FreeDanielDyerForSecondStringRB
I can't believe I am saying this but why not just keep feeding JCC the rock?
Because logic says so
ouch
Completely on the lack of protection by the line...
I blame my slow laptop for why everyone's beating me to the breaking news tweets.
My processor on this thing (1 GHz) is exactly as fast as the processor in my desktop computer that I took to Tech as a freshman. Thirteen years ago.
I'm not even kidding.
Epic. I had the same setup and thought my 1 GHz was tricked out. Still have that machine, and it still runs Windows XP.
I donated mine a couple of years ago. It ran XP too (though it was 2000 Pro when I first got it).
Still worked when I let it go, but it had to warm up first, like an old car.
just glad we are doing the right thing
Fuck. Sucks big time. Wishing him a speedy recovery
Motley concussed and not playing.
This year sure is something.
Yet another stout defensive effort wasted tonight
Story of Beamers career
Look at Beamer, he knows his ass is gone after this.
You know for a "public ivy" UVA is a bunch of thugs.
Well guys. No bowl and losing to that asshat in cville. Ughh
And timecop has arrived!!!
was thinking the same thing...wonder if that will hurt them in the end...Did you know he was a police officer once?
Motley, concussion out for game.
Time Cop Strikes Back!
Well the defense is starting to break now, it's understandable... :(
Bend, the word you were looking for is bend.
I bet that if we get past our own 40, we bust out a trick play of sorts.
The image of London holding the Cup and celebrating in Lane isn't going to go over well with Whit and our donors this winter...
Bud Foster, ladies and gentlemen.
WOO BIG STOP LET'S GO D!
Did we call that play for them?
That's called defense!
Nice stop defense. This football team really needs the offense to eat up some yardage and time...and come out with some points.
This defense is playing their nuts off..... unfortunately the offense has no nuts to play with...
Noticed Conte is in at RT
Yep. Wang has been in and out since tweaking his ankle. Farris at C right now.
RT not RG.
OK yeah, looks like Conte getting some time at RT. Whoever was in on that last drive should stay in.. great pass blocking for Brewer that drive and he delivered some accurate passes!
We had a nice short passing game going in the first half. Where is it?
It left with Brewer's shoulder.
Starting QB playing with hurt right shoulder due to back-up QB being ruled out with concussion like symptoms. Previous backup QB now working in the medical field. Yeah, its been that kind of a year for us injury wise.
Maybe it would be better if we just played with no O line at all.
Brewer looks like he is in agony.
Don't know how we can score at all with Brewer in this condition (in addition to all the other issues).
Can we please just "try" to block?
I'm sorry this isn't all on the OL. Brewer holds on to the ball FOR EVER. He refuses to make a decision and a throw in a timely manner.
God bless Michael Brewer.
Someone get Brewer some Advil
I am having visions of Michael Brewer turning into Hunter Cantwell. This is just excruciating to watch.
Time for Hidges and wild turkey option shit all game.
There is a solution for this. Line up with 2 TEs and a FB and let our struggling pass blockers push forward instead of trying to play the mirror game.
Yeah I'm just not seeing how Searels has been that great of a coach... Our OL is still atrocious
I think it's more about the quality of our ol. Look at guys like teller. It's just the guts we have aren't really good. They are trying buy at best, we must hope for some in the pipeline to really take a big step. I honestly think we will see improcement after some hiccups from some of the younger guys
This game is painful to watch. I hear there is some big iron bowl or something tomorrow
This offense has shown week after week, drive after drive, that they are freaking pathetic. Seriously, the defense can only do so much. Regardless of his play, your only QB can only take so many hits. This offense really needs to step up and start "not loosing". I don't even want them to win the game, just stop freaking loosing it. It's pathetic when your hope, not desire, HOPE for offense is that they stop being a detriment to the football team as a whole.
Time for a scoop and score from the D!
Brewer is just getting beaten into the ground...it's almost hard to be mad at him at this point. Almost.
I don't think there's an OC in the country who could have had a successful season with this OL.
agreed but I am a Lefty 'apologist'
I feel bad for all the times I got pissed at glennon...
Brewer wishes he had the line Glennon played behind.
I feel bad for all the times I got upset with Logan Thomas.
I was thinking the same thing!
I feel like our only hope is for a turnover within our field goal range, or a defensive TD.
I agree...and thats makes me sad, lol
We had the reverse called it looked like but Stroman made a wise executive decision and turned it back
That hit on Brewer was as much targeting as Newsome's. At least Newsome put his arms out to try and wrap up.
Where is the FLAG?!
I've counted at least three offsides no-calls
I'll keep getting up if you keep pushing forward
- Michael Brewer
I love that he has the leadership skills to say that to his O-line. I'm sad that he had to say that to his O-line, for so many reasons.
"I'll keep getting up if you keep pushing forward." -- Michael Brewer
And who says there's no leadership?
Shout out to Sam Rogers and JC Coleman. Keep it up!
Wait, is the offense allowed to score?
OFFENSE IS ALIVE!!!!!! Barely a pulse but alive!!!!
Touchdown bitch!
Lets GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Boom... That just happened!
Nice drive right there... Brewer looked good in that one
The drought is over
Evidently the offensive line just needed a stern talking to. Excellent drive and TD, offense!
I am still a member of the Brew Crew
TOUCHDOWN TECH! Brewer to Phillips for a wide open TD!
I can't believe we finally scored an offensive TD!!!
WE JUST FOOTBALLED THERE!!
THANK THE HEAVENS!
Offensive touchdown! Great job guys!
Why, yes, we'll take a blown coverage if it means the team gets a pick-me-up from its embattled QB...
Time for Bud to make it rain!
(Sack, picks, and TFLs)
If you call that a pretty good right hook, you have never watched a fight
Wow how did Chuck not catch that. He may have gotten his hands up to defend his face.
That would have made my day. My week! Oh, so close . . .
Well Offense is doing better then last week
You are literally correct.
I prefer technically correct:
Gotta love that right hook by Reavis. Representing
Haha love it!
Gayle is laying down some smack talk right now. It's hilarious.
It sounds like they're shooting off fireworks to celebrate the false start.
Hmmm, must have been Argus Filch from HP: Goblet of Fire
We need the defense to stand strong now. I would also be so happy if Brewer can lead us down for 7 more points.
Apparently 2nd or 3rd and long is our kryptonite of defense.
Our kryptonite of offense is a football.
Fuller Football Family. Gonna need some more of those soon. Time for Vince to start making some babies isn't it?
UVA
26 rushes for 32 yards
1 rush for 40 yards
7 completions for 66 yards
1 completion for 43 yards
JC COLEMAN GO BOOOOM!!!!!????
Chase Williams just stole Lambert's Grey Poupon.
sweet a fair catch
Who is this JC Coleman fella? He seems to run pretty hard.
JC Coleman for President!
Coleman must be gassed because he looked slow
He's looking a little banged up to me. Luckily so far it doesn't seem to be affecting his initial burst all that much, just his top-end speed.
Much respect to JCC!
JC Coleman: can't stop won't stop
So I am guessing that Caleb will not be seeing the field...
he was in earlier... on the LOLUVA TD
That was close. Wow
JCC going beast mode
Even though it was a 3rd and long, i wish we would have kept running. D just needs to keep it going now.
#HughesForHeisman #HughesForQB #HughesForRB
Can we just have AJ play everything?
Somebody buy JCC a Mike's Burger from me
I said JCC would get over 100 yds
JC and Brewer are both tough as nails and it's showing tonight.
Amen. After that play where brewer got pounded by Dean, it was dean who left the game to go over to the trainer's table, while brewer talked up his O-line and stayed in the game.
Wow. Another great call.
OMG, the personal fouls keep happening in the 4th.
Someone wanna explain that penalty to me? I must have missed it.
Although that was a crazy shitty personal foul.
Nigel Williams just blew through a triple team
ut oh.
Downfield and tried to block the guy covering Jennings
Wow, glad about that UVA penalty.
Cleaning out the PR should be an ejection. There is not a more defenseless player on the field...
^ THIS.
UVa is really showing their ass today
UVA is imploding during this 4th quarter. Meanwhile, our side is galvanizing.
I hope JCC gets into the endzone at least once tonight.
If i had to pick 1 player to score for us, it would be The Paper Boy.
It is Senior Night, after all.
I'll say it again: "public ivy" thugs.
That was as much targeting as Newsome's. Just don't under the rule.
UVA is a bunch of dirty Zima-drinking sons of bitches
Thank Goodnes for Sam Rogers!
There's some punk ass bitches on this LOLUVA squad
Yep. They always play us this way under time cop. I think he coaches then to play that way against us.
They blew that dead early as crap
Remember 2012 against Clemson? I wonder if these are the same officials...
He has to come down with that.
Brewer didn't over throw him that time...
I want 3 more TD's tonight: 1 for JC, 1 for Byrn, and another pussy TD for Rogers. They've all earned it.
how is that not PI?
#goacc
Simple, we were on offense.
It was a good play... Ford has to make that catch
That was pretty clearly PI.
Just fuck these refs with the barbed cock of satan.
It was but Ford cold have had that one.
Post of the night
We are completely dominating this game statistically, other than turnovers. I want to see this game be put away with a defensive score.
So, how much did Timecop pay these refs?
I think the refs must have pooled their money & bet the under on the score.
Had the same thought.
These refs really stink. Making up imaginary penalties aagainst VT, then consistently no-call consistent PI by the bad guys.
TOO FAR ESPN! SAY WHAT YOU WILL ABOUT OUR FOOTBALL TEAM, BUT DOWPLAYING OUR RESEARCH IS JUST LOW. OUR JELLYFISH ARE CLEANING THE OCEAN, WHAY HAVE YOU DONE TODAY?
Dropping these picks hurt.
I believe that is 6 possessions inside their 40 tonight-3 points from it.
it hurts too much to talk about it
Need a big play, defense!!!
They're picking us apart
WTF IS HAPPENING!? STOP LETTING THEM DO THAT DAMMIT!!!!
Now lambert looks like all acc
Defense, remember how to play plz
The only place UVA is having success is these short passes over the middle.
Let's finish strong defense
They're literally throwing it to the exact same spot on the field over and over again.
Defense.....
All I want for Xmas is a turnover right now!
Now let's waste a timeout or two!
This has been the defensive bugaboo the least couple years
Good timeout, Bud.
"Huh? I don't get it." - Mike London
Crossing fingers; defense has only given up 6 points tonight.
My TV just died. Fuck this shit.
You punched it. Didn't you?
Died when you broke it with something?
Sweet Jesus I can't take much more of this
Gut check time for the d.
Maybe Mike London will run down the clock and kick a last second field goal for a 16-17 loss.
FUCK
Why can't we have blow out wins anymore....nerves can't take this
I'd be happy with just wins. I dont care how it ends as long as we win.
Damnit. D gives up another late score.
It was bound to happen when the offense can't do shit all night.
That was literally the first TD the D gave up after 47 minutes of football.
Your mad at the defense for not allowing Zero Touchdowns.
Well I must say, I didn't expect them to drive down the field and make plays like that
Welp. The offense has three minutes to win the game for us...*sobs*
Fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck
The defense utterly failed on that.
now i wish we would have attempted a field goal last possession. poop.
Call a timeout and then shit the bed.
Exactly. What a waste of a TO we will desperately need.
Fuckin blew it the very next play
Dropped pick and gave up third and ten deep. Damnit.
C'mon Hokies.....
Ekanem, get your hands UP.
It's been more than a year since we've beaten a P5 team in Lane. Please don't continue that streak.
Whatcha got left, Brewer?
That was a gut punch...
Hey guys, I'll be over here holding my breath.
HOLY SHIT I GET TO BREATHE. I LOVE THIS AND HATE IT ALL AT THE SAME TIME. I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO THINK.
"I hope they don't kick a FG and go for 2!" - Mike London
wow, brewer ran WAY too far the wrong way. Got bailed out there.
BUCKY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
BUCKY!!!!
wow that was clearly PI
Please score a TD here!! Put the game away!!
If the Hokies don't get this ball in the end zone they will lose this game
BUCKY FUCKING HODGES
Bucky for Heisman
Ok, Bud. Get them ready!
BUCKY BUCKY BUCKY HODGES!!!!!!!!
So one ref finally found a conscience.
HELLLLZZZZ YEAH BUCKY!!!!!
IM GOING CRAZY
BUCKY WITH THE CLUTCH TD!
I think I just had an aneurysm.
TOO MUCH TIME LEFT
Have to give Brewer credit too!!!!
no just bucky
I realize he could have thrown it to himself, but he didn't this time.
A freshman that's only played TE 11 months. EPIC!!!!!
Ok fellas, we gotta play defense still
Ughhhhh. Come in d. You get a reprieve
Here's looking at you, D.
And now I'm getting so nervous I've got the shakes. It's that weird?...
Just hold em bud!!!! LUNCHPAIL D!!!! Lets do this!!!
BREWER I DON'T GIVE A SHIT ABOUT THE PAST GAMES YOU ARE NUMBER ONE
We need the BIGGEST D STOP EVER on their next possession.
Michael Brewer is a prototype built in some government lab. My goodness.
Have we even had a KO sniff the endzone?
Wow! Please D, hold like every other drive accept the last drive!
In Bud we trust.
Lambert was just destroyed
haha watch qb sneak
The offense bailed out the defense...who'd have thunk it? And now Lambert is dead by way of Dadi.
Who's your Dadi!!!!!!!!!!
DADI!!
I hope Lambert isn't seriously injured. For real. Hate to win a game that way
Defensive end sandwich
I love monster hits, but in all honesty, I hate it when they stay down.
BOOM!! Textbook tackle!
I do hope he is ok. I am guessing a concussion after that head snap
Class. Absolute class.
Johns had some nice throws against ucla.
I'll have a lambert sandwich, hold the tomatoes, with a slice of win on the side!
#HOKIESRESPECT
Did Ekanem take a shot to the head? Concussion maybe? Hope he's ok.
Lambert probably just hugged Nicolas because he thought he was his Dadi.
He was clearly down inbounds
I was afraid Johns would give them a spark...
Yep.
Hooold. Come on d. Hooooiild.
Are our sidelines just a sheet of ice???
Is the sideline frozen or something? I have never seen so many people fall
I do wish we would pressure Johns more
Are the sidelines made out of ice? Seems like everyone is slipping.
COME ON D!
Crunch time, please no mistakes...
The sideline is a slip-n-slide!
These announcers did not do their homework if they are questioning Timecop's use of timeouts
At least they used them well this time. Timecop has learned something at least
Please Mike London, keep doing Mike London things with your timeouts
Cannot let this guy become a hero.
I hope Josh Sweat likes what he sees...
as someone said earlier; wish we would have gotten one of those easy INTs.
Come. On. We gave up a 3rd and 20 already.
Here we go.
Hmmm gave them more yardage than I had hoped.
*not breathing*
That was meme material right there with London
FUCK YES!!! GO HOKIES!!!!!! I LOVE EVERYONE!!!!!!!!
11 MORE YEARS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Aghhhhhhhhhh!!!!
And on this black friday, all is right in the sports world
VicTory!!!
Gotta snap and not fumble!
And so begins decade #2
GO HOKIES! Great job by Brewer, Motley, Rodgers, JC, and the receivers. Also, great overall defense!
GAME...blouses
I LO E EVERYBODY SO MUCH!!!! WW WON IM DRUNJ AND I LOBE YOU
Eleven, bitches.
Never let UVA win, ever
Yikes, almost feel sorry for London.
Go Hokies!
They should rename it the Virginia Tech Cup.
Wholey shet!
I WANT TO HAVE SEX WITH MOMENT, GET IT PREGNANT AND THEN HAVE A BUNCH OF LITTLE MOMENTS NINE MONTHS LATER
HOW ABOUT THAT ORANGE CRUSH 3RD DOWN DEFENSE! I FUCKING LOVE YOU ALL! 11 IN A ROW! I DID EVERYTHING THIS WEEK I COULD NOT TO JINX IT!
Also, my Fraternal Brother, 2LT Andy Kress (deployed to Kuwait) got a shout-out on the radio as the Hokie Hero of the Week!
WAHOOHA!
I'm glad they fought hard tonight. I was nice seeing some emotion.
And to all a good night
Once again order has been restored in the Commonwealth...
Very proud of VT's tenacity.
Great game.
Go Hokies!
HELL YES!!! God is a Hokie!
I DON'T KNOW ABOUT YOU GUYS
BUT I'VE GOT THE BIGGEST FUCKING HOKIE BONER!!!!
ALSO. ...THIS GAME TOOK SEVERAL YEARS OFF MY LIFE.
Man, it feels good to be a Hokie.
Tomorrow's drive back home is gonna go a lot smoother now.
Hooray!! Beamer gets to stay!
I love you guys! So happy right now! 11 straight baby!
I regret to inform you my VT schooner fell victim to the post game celebration. These are not easy to find in Illinois. Rest in peace, schooner. And know you died for a good cause. #respect
You have my condolences
My remote ran into the same problem. At least Amazon can help me there, I'm sorry for your loss.
TKP pint glasses make excellent vessels for beer.
Joe, I'll look for my commission at the usual drop box.
Please tell me Josh Sweat was at this game!
Yes, it was his official visit to VT.
I hope that made a great impression on Josh Sweat!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hats off to:
Hokie Nation faithful turnout tonight in the freezing cold, and sticking around through the tough parts.
Brewer and JC, maybe y'all don't have all the skills & consistency we want, but you can't be beat in the heart, determination, and toughness departments!
Sam Rodgers, we need to paint you green for games, 'cause you ARE the Hulk!
Proud of y'all.....congrats on the hard-fought win!
There is no "D" in rogers. Do that again and he might show up at your house to correct you.
Outstanding. Brewer you da Man. Great showing by the student body on a cold holiday night. It made a difference. I think I spilled more JD than I drank. Ok that's a lie. Go Hokies
What a great football game that was...it was really a phenomenal game...that drive that put us up 17-13 was one of the best drives of the season...Dadi's hit on Lambert was something else
My favorite part of that game was Lambert getting destroyed. That's pure Hokie football right there.
Mine was the punt block TD
Credit where credit is due. Brewer showed a fuck ton of heart tonight and lead this team. JC just kept doing Hokie things. Bucky is a man amongst boys!
11 years. If UVA can't beat us now they might never get us again. So happy
As ugly as this season has been, thank goodness for Mike London. He's the gift that keeps on giving!
Sweat must have enjoyed watching our D-line pound Lambert all night
That awkward moment when you know it's going to be 11 straight
Yup yup yup yup
Crocodile tears or should I say Copodile tears?
Fucking precious. I love when sandman comes on late in a game. That's as spine tingling wonderful as it gets. London either knew he was screwed or that LOLUVA arrogance was shoved back down his throat. We are still tougher than LOLUVA and I love it.
I also love that my phone auto types "LOLUVA"
Couldn't stop laughing at this moment. He knew it was over when Lane was jumping to Enter Sandman during that time out
I've watched this 11 times on repeat...it makes me happy.
Its just so fucking beautiful. Tears of joy.
I keep finding things in the fridge to drink to this.
Time to head over to the Saber and drink some wahoo tears
I tried. I really did. But the layout and the colors are just. awful. I almost ripped my eyes out
Yahtzee...we beat UVA and Ohio State...Mission completed!
and got revenge vs Duke for last years debacle
WOOO FUCK UVA. All the problems we have can be addressed tomorrow, because the Commonwealth Cup is still ours. For as disappointing a season as this has been at points. NOTHING and I mean NOTHING is better than beating UVA and keeping them home for the holidays.
I can't upvote this enough! A win over hated UVA is a win. Things may not be perfect but it sure beats losing to UVA and not going bowling.
Hey, guys. I just dialed in on my Commodore 64. Did I miss anything?
Great news for everyone ... you're coming back next year!!!
Yeah you just got fully dipped in dork magic!
I AM SO DRUNK I CAN NO LONGER PROPERLY OPERATE MY TWITTER FEED OR MY FACEBOOK ACCOUNT. I'm going to stop typing in all caps here and hope that it in some way influences Josh Sweat's decision.
Surely someone has a meme that shows the streak documented on Lambert's jersey?
Oh, there's a streak in Lambert's jersey alright. It's a smear of grass and dirt that says "Dadi was here."
There was also one in his pants.
I liked the part where we win again.
God I hate UVA! Here's to another 365 days with the Commonwealth Cup!
#hateweek
Not something that fuels the rivalry fire but it was a great show of sportsmanship by the Hokies when Lambert was hurt. Most of the defense was out taking a knee and saying a prayer and Dadi helping him up was a great show of sportsmanship. Our Hokies made us proud tonight on multiple fronts.
Bucky Hodges you da real MVP
11 years. I'm Thankful this holiday season that my son has never known a Commonwealth Cup residing in Charlottesville. BOOM! HOKIES!!
It was a great game to attend, but my god I think I doubled my gray hairs at the game in the fourth quarter. I was so afraid the defense was going to blow it again.
434 yds by the offense against a top 10 defense.
I love this team.
I love that even though it was an ugly season, they fought.
I love that our starting quarterback decided to get up and fight tonight.
I love that our starting running back, all five-foot-nothing of him, never quit as he fell down the depth chart.
I love that we have a defense that brings it, night after night.
I love that, just when I was ready to turn off the lights to this season and hope for better days next year, they reminded me that - even though it wasn't pretty - they are Hokies.
11 years.
I just want to add a FUCK YEAH! To this. That is all.
I have friends that are still down on this team, but I will take wining ELEVEN STRAIGHT over uva any day of the week.
In all seriousness, I hope Lambert is ok.
Now, having said that, I love James Gayle, but the backup is still wearing a redshirt, since Motley was out.
And Johns proved he is no normal backup. Lambert walked off eventually he should be fine.
