VT, STAND UP

Y'all, I don't believe for one second that this team is no longer tough. That we can no longer dominate. What these players and these coaches absolutely CANNOT do is sit around and wait around for SOMEONE ELSE TO LEAD THE TEAM. What this team needs to do is stand up, whip Pitt's ass and never sit down!

Who is going to lead this team? Who is going to put their foot down and make a statement?

The shit starts NOW. I expect this team to come out and fight the fight of their lives! Did we forget who we are?!?!?!?!

I havent.

Somehow I see Sam Rogers saying this. Kudos.

On a related topic, I wonder how many fans will brave the rain Saturday? Damn right I'll be there screaming my head off.

I'll be there. Rain won't deter me, I won't even feel it.

Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?

I can imagine no more rewarding a career. And any man who may be asked in this century what he did to make his life worthwhile, I think can respond with a good deal of pride and satisfaction:
“I served in the United States Navy"

Hell no! And it ain't over now!

*stands up*

Every second counts

THIS IS SPARTA!

After all, this is Lane we're talking about. There will inevitably be someone screaming at you to sit down

This makes me sad. Clapping and sitting, and no emotion. How do you get into a sport and watch it without passion? That and he's got to be cheering for USA. The guy behind him telling him to sit down must not be American.

I mean how worked up can YOU get at ping pong? /s

For some reason, I kinda think that Bud realizes the importance of this game, in more ways than one. I think he will have the D fired up and ready to smash anything in front of them. Not sure how the field/footing will be due to all the rain though. That's probably my biggest concern (us relying on speed) rather than power on the defensive side of the ball. Hopefully the drainage system works and the footing will be a non-factor.
As far as the offense, I'm not terribly concerned. I think Motley's ability to run brings another dynamic to this game. I know this is a ramp up in the level of competition that he has faced, but I also think he has progressed to this point. I expect him to continue that this week.
All you guys/gals driving to the game.....be safe.
GO HOKIES!!!

I agree. I think we shut them down tomorrow.

I have never been more pumped for a Pitt game

Nice to read this type of topic instead of the one asking if we have given up on the season. Thanks, Bruce.

Thanks for sharing. /s Now I do too.

I'm so happy to know I'm not the only one!

A decade on TKP and it's been time well spent.

Guys, we win this game and we are right back on track to have a great season.

LMAO...

-Being aggressive, being tough...that's the Virginia Tech way.

My personal favorite in that thread. Thanks Joe!

what i meant by this was this is what I'd expect frank's reaction to be to a "circle the wagons" type speech...and judging from today's game, that's exactly what happened. a comatose head coach.

Need to get this mentality back...in a big way!
