After last week, we are all just numb. Therefore this week we go ambivalent...we are neither Lovin' On or Hatin' On.
So here without much emotion and effort I present Coach Pat Narduzzi. This is the first year of his head coaching career having previously been the DC for Miami (OH), Cincinnati and Michigan State.
Um...coach? Where is your other hand?
"WHO WANTS CHEESEBURGERS?? I SAID....WHO WANTS CHEESEBURGERS???!!!
For some reason, I imagine him signing a Barry Manilow song here.
Let's get on with the game, stay as dry as possible, and get a win (so we at least have something to feel good about next week!)
Go Hokies!!!

Though it makes sense and I probably should do the same thing.
He also waits until the entire order has been rung up and the total presented, at which time he begins searching all his pockets for his checkbook. Then he meticulously fills out the check, asking the clerk "What is today's date"
Oh my god, my blood pressure spiked.

QUICK, REVERT THE KARMA!
After writing the check, Pat Narduzzi apologizes to the people behind him in line and offers them his unused coupons.

Not sure I like the reference. It's actually going to be a rainstorm in hell for Pitt as we beat their butts back to the Monongahela (sp). Anyway, that's some nice artwork. The turkey looks familiar too.

Me too. Did you see they did about the same thing to Miami last night against Cinci?

The commentators had trouble finding most of the Miami penalties outside of false starts on the replay, and everything called on Cinci was so obvious it did not need replay. CONSPIRACY!
