I feel like such a Debbie Downer but I got a real bad feeling about this. (Star Wars gif wouldn't work)

Beamer's last game, 12-game win streak and bowl eligibility on the line. Just seems like a perfect recipe for heaping plate of disappointment to be served up.

I'll stop now. Sorry everyone, carry on. Go Hokies!

Bob: What would ya say ya do here?

Brad: I already told you! I iron out the minutiae so Justin doesn't have to. I have people skills dammit! What the hell is wrong with you people?

Wet stuff on the red stuff.

And no surprise there, it's Wally Lancaster with an airball that looked gorgeous on its way to nowhere...

Don't you put that evil on Frank!

The Orange and Maroon you see, that's fighting on to victory.

Minus franks last season we were in the same predicament last year except now they don't have the horses on their DL they had last year, our wr's are a season better and ford is on track to break the td in a season by a wr record. Our rb is better than last year and has the chance to go over a thousand yards this game. I think this game lines up well for us plus two of there better players on defense are out I believe for this game. I think a heavy dose of mcmillian gets the win today.

They are better at QB this year. This rivalry always goes to the better QB. Will Brewer outplay Johns today?

I would call QB a wash. Sure Johns is okay, but he leads the country in picks. Get pressure on him and he folds like your typical UVA QB.

In Sam Rogers we trust.

unfortunately, we're looking at a gimped Brewer or Motley at QB. I really don't want a gimped Brewer because a bad ankle means less mobile in the pocket and typically weaker throws (can't plant the same way). Unfortunately, I'm not overly confident in Motley under center, either.

Warning: this post occasionally contains strong language (which may be unsuitable for children), unusual humor (which may be unsuitable for adults), and advanced mathematics (which may be unsuitable for liberal-arts majors)..

Last year Brewer beat UVA throwing the ball with a jacked up throwing shoulder. Give me the Brew Crew in this game.

The Orange and Maroon you see, that's fighting on to victory.

Again, sorry everyone. I am a long time DC sports fan and years of failure and crushing defeats when things were finally supposed to go our way. Just needed a little group therapy.

Bob: What would ya say ya do here?

Brad: I already told you! I iron out the minutiae so Justin doesn't have to. I have people skills dammit! What the hell is wrong with you people?

Living in Browns territory, I am pleased to announce these Hokies are no Cleveland Browns!

Hey, Caps are doing well. (Until the playoffs that is)

Can anyone recommends a good place to grab a bite before the game in Charlottesville? Going there the first time today.

Don't know that but here's a hint.

Any place with lots of people in blue will be expensive and overrated.

This is going to be great for the ACC.

Its tiny, but the white spot on the corner is my favorite. Order the Gus Burger!

Come on team! Win one (more) for Frank and the coaching staff.

I'll be watching from Auburn, Alabama during our tailgate before the Iron Bowl. Hopefully the boys can pull this last one off for Frank. Let's Go Hokies!!

RTR!!

Of course it's on ESPNU, the ESPN channel I don't get, so can't watch online with my cable provider either...

Hey team! I just welcomed my 4th child, 2nd boy yesterday! My wife (also a Hokie) naturally pushed out this 10 lb 5 oz bruiser...I'm feeling fantastic about today's game! We'll be cheering from a hospital room in NY :)
Go Hokies!

If it ain't orange, it better be maroon...and if it ain't maroon, it better be soon!

Damn that's a huge baby. I thought my sister did well to push out back-to-back 9.5 lb babies. Congrats, and welcome to Hokie Nation!

Congrats! 10 lbs 5 oz. ooofff! I thought my son was a biggun' at 8.14.

Bob: What would ya say ya do here?

Brad: I already told you! I iron out the minutiae so Justin doesn't have to. I have people skills dammit! What the hell is wrong with you people?

Thanks brothers, yes, he's a whopper. The biggest on the floor today, we've got him in Hokie gear with a football skull cap. His arrival is just in time to cheer the good guys on!

If it ain't orange, it better be maroon...and if it ain't maroon, it better be soon!

Born just in time to see our new winning streak start!

We put the K in Kwality

I'm sure you did the right thing and his name is Beamer or we will even take Frank! Congrats!

"Welcome to the Terror Dome." -- Corey Moore

Congrats man!! We delivered our 3rd (also a boy, but only 8lb) the day of the Duke 4OT game. Here's hoping for a better (game) outcome for you!

Virginian by Birth, Hokie by Choice

On behalf of all of us, many congrats.

Now you go buy that nice lady WHATEVER she wants.

No, I *don't* want to go to the SEC. Why do you ask?

We don't love dem Hoos.

Eyes on the ground.... There's A LOT of Hokies here. LET'S GO

HOKIES!!!

I have a bad feeling about this game too. Hope I'm wrong. I want to see another 38-0 beatdown.

I have no idea why my username is VT_Warthog.

Arkansas blew a 24-0 lead in the Belk Bowl.

Whats the over/under for the amount of timeouts that Mike London actually uses?

If we've truly convinced him they're transferable, I would set the O/U at 0.5

It looks like he learned how to call timeouts! That's enough improvement to keep him around for another year, right?

"For those who have passed, for those to come, reach for excellence."

That is all.

All of a sudden, I found myself in love with the world
So there was only one thing that I could do
Was ding a ding, dang my dang a long ling long....

Boogity Boogity Boogity, Let's go footballing boys.

Fire Whit.

Running a kickoff out to the 40... where has that been all year?

Nice return!

I sure see a lot of Maroon and Orange in those stands! VT representing!

LOLUVA fans are sad, with this many Hokies buying tickets they still couldn't sell out.

Nice hands by Bucky, hope he keeps it up

That play took too long to develop.

Only 2 downs and I'm a nervous wreck.

What street corner did they get this announcers from?? Messed up Bucky's name and Green's name already.

Wet stuff on the red stuff.

Nice catch Bucky Rogers!

And kickoff return by "David Green"

This isn't even the "b" squad announcers. It's like they picked up 2 guys in Indiana and asked if they'd would like to be on TV.

We put the K in Kwality

He's got the size to beat you down the field

What the hell does that mean?

I think he means yards after the catch.

I miss Wang

We put the K in Kwality

More runs up the middle please

Gallo got blown up on the first run play then snapped the ball a beat late. I hope he shows up at some point.

At least they got three points out of that.

"Exit light..."

It is as it should be.

I want to hear some "Let's Go" "Hokies" chants.

I didn't know Brewers right ankle was messed up this week. He's been behind on a few throws. Hopefully he's able to push off and drive with that bum back ankle.

Out of bourbon already. Who's got some? Section 528 row Y... Just yell bourbon?

If you raise your hand, the UVa concessions will bring you some Zima...

Does it come with bourbon? I got two hands raised.

I don't think they're that refined.

Emotional day for the Hokie Nation. Thank you Coach Beamer for a lifetime of memories. Beat UVA.

When did Moto become "terrific"?

We put the K in Kwality

Moto is the most inconsistent player I've ever watched.

"For those who have passed, for those to come, reach for excellence."

TIMEOUT!!!!

Wet stuff on the red stuff.

Join us in the Key Players Club

Mike London used a timeout?! Wow, they are taking this game serious.

Fire Whit.

Mike London using those time outs already.

It was a mistake. He was calling for a technical foul.

We put the K in Kwality

London figures he might as well use up some of those timeouts he's saved over the years.

Looked like Moto hung back as a spy, but completely lost sight of the QB.

"For those who have passed, for those to come, reach for excellence."

He accidentally was spying the back judge.

We put the K in Kwality

Moto is on roller skates again.

We put the K in Kwality

Before that first down hand off, did Matt Johns give the crowd a "quiet down" signal with his arms?

We just cannot get off the field on 3rd and long.

We put the K in Kwality

When the QB runs for a first down....

His longest run of the season.

I don't like the looks of this.

I hate that VT generally gives up 7 on every team's first drive.

Need a BIG stop here.

Seeing a lot of stretched jerseys in the interior when they are trying to get outside. Lots of no calls this year.

Wet stuff on the red stuff.

Join us in the Key Players Club

Dammit.

Is the defense planning on showing up on 3rd down at some point?

They don't do that on the first drive.

True that. Hopefully the adjustments are on point this game!

3rd and long...

We put the K in Kwality

Mother F. Let's get off the field 3rd and long

Why is our 3rd and long defense so bad this year?

"For those who have passed, for those to come, reach for excellence."

Worst 3rd down defense in the country.

Hey, look at that. A holding call.

Well, there's a flag finally

Can hear "HOKIES

Wet stuff on the red stuff.

"Let's GO"

That helps.

Glad they called that encroachment. I was about to lose my mind.

Should be able to stop this.

YES!

3rd & long used to fill me with such confidence & happiness.

Now it's fear & loathing.

3rd and long...longer...stopped!!

We put the K in Kwality

This would be a good time for a field goal block!

Shut out is over. Now we don't have to worry about giving up a cheap one later /s

We put the K in Kwality

Ugh that drive was a bit agonizing. Thank goodness for giving up only three.

I have no idea why my username is VT_Warthog.

Arkansas blew a 24-0 lead in the Belk Bowl.

To be honest, exchanging field goals is an acceptable result of the first two drives.

Now, time to get down to business.

Don't forget we get Dadi back in the 2nd half. Mihota has been bad, but isn't generating a huge rush.

We put the K in Kwality

Our 3rd Down D is still top 20 in the nation, but not top 5 like it's been for the last 3 years.

Who the hell put a gopro on cavman?

If that was the cavalier running on the ground, who was on the horse with a sword?

Someone should tell their equipment manager that they missed the bottom of the helmets when spraypainting.

I love that clip.

Just wish they were wearing Orange and Maroon.

Thank god that this will likely be the last game Scot loeffler will ever call at Virginia tech.

I'll be so happy if with the new coaching staff we can run an offense that doesn't mean line up, burn clock, stand up an look to the sideline for agonizing seconds for the "real" play call, then get the ball snapped just ahead of the clock allowing the D an easy opportunity to anticipate the snap.

What is the reason for that. Call a play, let the coaches see how the defense is lined up, then change the play?

That's my understanding. For all the talk about Brewer being a "coach on the field", you'd think you'd give him a set of plays to work with and let him call the play at least, instead of just burning the play clock to zero waiting on the sideline to get the call in.

That said, I think it's obvious at this point they don't really trust Brewer to see the D all that well. That's one reason to like what Lawson brrings -- in the few snaps he took, he seemed to identify where to go with the ball well, even if his mechanics weren't up to snuff.

I have no problem with changing a play if you have a mismatch, but seems like there must be a quicker way to do so

This has annoyed me for a long time. Sometimes we line up fast and catch the defense off guard, but then we just sit there for 20 seconds without snapping the ball.

"For those who have passed, for those to come, reach for excellence."

Come on

Mizzel got smoked by Motu.

Good stop there

Yes

1st quarter semed to go pretty quick

long drives, lots of running clock

The Dude Abides

That was a very nice play by Motu.

made a couple nice ones already today, playing really well getting sideline to sideline

The Dude Abides

Memphis just blocked a punt.

In Sam Rogers we trust.

Fuenteball

Under Fuente, I think you could make the argument that they've had the best special teams over the course of the last 4 years.

Luckily, it wasn't too bad of a roll.

impressed with UVAs WR and RB. Playing fast. Gonna have to get after 'em.

The Dude Abides

They'll get after us if we don't get after them and if we don't get after them they'll get us...

I was nine years old the last time those bow tie wearing sissies beat the good guys.

They need to change the tempo.

Is a complete lack of tempo considered a tempo?

We put the K in Kwality

Attack the edges!

We put the K in Kwality

went to Bucky a couple times early, would like to see that continue

The Dude Abides

"A win today could change the course of UVA history"

-Mike London

HAHAHAHAHAHAH!

The Dude Abides

NOT impressive.

UVa with the sack?

Lame-O.

McMillian got ran over, not good

Ass planted

We put the K in Kwality

McMillian got knocked on his ass.

I HATE THIS OFFENSE

LOLoffler

The Dude Abides

Amen, sister.

We put the K in Kwality

Now, Brewer out.

Not good.

When Brewer shows pain, he's done.

Guessing either wind knocked out or broken ribs.

I wish we could block worth a shit.

We put the K in Kwality

He stepped up in a nice pocket, just stepped up 3 steps too many there

The Dude Abides

Looks like UVAs defense wants this WAY more than our offensive line.

I'm just listening and I already am glad I can't see the game. I'd be screaming horribly.

OOOOOOO, he's gone

Wow. Tra got ragdolled there.

Hopefully just got the wind knocked out of him

That's on Brewer. That wasn't the time to take a hit for the team.

He's pretty much the only O player playing with heart right now. Maybe our "softies" will flex now.

We put the K in Kwality

Hide yourself from Sam Rogers ... you know the boogeyman? Sam Rogers is the guy you send to kill the boogeyman...

I was nine years old the last time those bow tie wearing sissies beat the good guys.

Mcmillan is running hard

The Dude Abides

Umm, NO. If the Dline didn't beat Brewer to the end of his 3 step drop, he wouldn't have had to leave the pocket. That's 100% on the offensive line...just like it always is every time Brewer gets the shit knocked out of him.

Oh. My. God.

...please god, no.

Might have had the air knocked out, might have broken some ribs. It would be nice if he wasn't being harassed at the end of his 3 step drop. The offensive line is absolutely pathetic and they should feel bad.

I'm hoping he just got the air knocked out of him. He got folded pretty hard though.

Nasty shot. Hate to see a QB jump right before he gets drilled. Momentum carried him right into that hit. Damn.

The Dude Abides

At least we have an experienced backup.

our o line look horrific today

tyrod did it mikey! tyrod did it!

This could be bad..

Let's go... Motley?

Be ready.... Lawson?

2026 Season Challenge: TBD
Previous Challenges: Star Wars (2019), Marvel (2020), Batman (2021), Wrasslin' (2022)

Well, I hope Motley and McMillian are ready to bring their A-game?

Brewer jogs off under his own power. That kid is one tough SOB.

"Exit light..."

It's like Tony Romo and Michael Brewer are on the same page this year.

I hate everything.

Anyway, Motley better be ready.

Brewer is stinking up the place!!!!!!

The older I get, the better I was...Go Hokies!!!

Brewer is stinking up the place!!!!!!

The older I get, the better I was...Go Hokies!!!

I'm glad Brewer looks like he may not be hurt.

Well with the way the O-line is playing Motley may be able to do some damage that Brewer couldn't (trying to be positive here)

Using /s is for cowards.

So glad we pulled the shirt off Lawson. Now he's been getting no reps (3rd team), so he's not ready to play here.

We put the K in Kwality

The way Brewer jogged off the field it looks like he just got the wind knocked out of him.

I was nine years old the last time those bow tie wearing sissies beat the good guys.

Offsides on the entire defensive line. Lol.

No flag? That defender got mugged.

Time for the D line to step the heck up.

The Dude Abides

The offensive line playing like crap...ugh

UVa defense has tasted some blood. They do want it bad.

VT needs to step up.

Too much contact there.

I keep wanting to use that "F*** THAT!" GIF over and over. I am so mad.

UVA getting the ball to only 2 players, but damn if its not effective

The Dude Abides

He was in bounds. Why are they so mad?

I hope they stick to this run game

No flag. Let's keep it that way.

Mike London, give up. It is your last game.

"Vick, dashing back . . . here he comes again . . . Electrifying . . . and have you ever seen anything like this?"

Greg Stroman just got that QB hit payback circa Logan Thomas UCLA

I was nine years old the last time those bow tie wearing sissies beat the good guys.

Illinois just promoted interim head coach to head coach. There goes the possibility of Bud there.

Fire Whit.

Dodged that bullet...

Stroman, hate you on punts

LOVE you on that hit!

What is UVA so mad at Stroman for? He didn't do anything wrong, did he?

UVA is just upset because the play happened close enough for them to notice that VT isn't wearing ruffles on on their cuffs like civilized footballers should.

Don't forget the white powdered wigs...

Go Hokies!

Great hit on the QB. Love it.

"Vick, dashing back . . . here he comes again . . . Electrifying . . . and have you ever seen anything like this?"

Better get out next time Johns. HA!

The Dude Abides

Hard hit, but legal. Good no call.

"Exit light..."

What a hit!!!!!

Mike London wanted to take a swing at Stroman just now.

London definitely acted out of hand there.

You want to go out of bounds, go out of bounds.

Don't be playing that game.

He wants to try and stay in bounds, but isn't happy when he gets hit.

I'm sorry how does London not get a flag for touching a player? How does the LOLUVA player not get one for touching a ref?

Wet stuff on the red stuff.

That #accrefshit

I have no idea why my username is VT_Warthog.

Arkansas blew a 24-0 lead in the Belk Bowl.

He'll think twice about trying to get an extra yard or two next time. Good play by #3, London made a fool of himself

Honestly with all the running QBs on us, it's fun to have a glowing example of why that's not an ideal strategy

Did London hit Stroman???

immunity

"Vick, dashing back . . . here he comes again . . . Electrifying . . . and have you ever seen anything like this?"

Sure looked like he made contact, but the angle is bad to tell for sure.

Wait, what?

The level of this game just got RAISED THE HELL UP!

The Dude Abides

I feel like we are only going to score on D or ST.

We put the K in Kwality

Bad Brewer has been in so far. I wonder if this means he shows up?

At least Stroman didn't go backwards on a punt return.

Travon McMillian... waiting for him to turn one of these 15 yarders into a 70 yarder.

I was nine years old the last time those bow tie wearing sissies beat the good guys.

Great run by McMillan. Good patience

I want a body camera on London, right now!

He'll be wearing one at his next job after today

Mall cops have to wear body cams?

If they call Bucky Hodges "Bucky Rodgers" one more time....

I was nine years old the last time those bow tie wearing sissies beat the good guys.

The Dread Pirate Bucky Rodgers.....ARRRRR

Why the hell is a guy coming free everytime!!

We put the K in Kwality

This offensive line is embarrassing.

Brewer getting the shit kicked out of him.

Where is the offensive line?

That was Sam's man

Three effing sacks? Ridiculous. What the hell are they doing?

O-line sucks. That is all.

3rd and short..in the shotgun? Didn't work against UNC, not working today.

The Dude Abides

This oline is going to get brewer killed. Wtf.

We've had problems not only with the OL, but several times the last 2 games the backs have missed their blocks

Our O Line is making Brewer look horrible. O line is embarrassing today.

"Vick, dashing back . . . here he comes again . . . Electrifying . . . and have you ever seen anything like this?"

Teller and Rogers missed that block.

Wet stuff on the red stuff.

Brewer needs to have a word with his offensive line.

Also, run the dang ball.

The Orange and Maroon you see, that's fighting on to victory.

34th sack allowed by our offensive line? Yikes... and to think Searels was one of the coaches I actually wanted to hold onto.

I was nine years old the last time those bow tie wearing sissies beat the good guys.

Did tech's o-line get left on the bus?

What the effing eff has happened to our O-line?

This damn O-Line needs to step up!! Wtf!!!

Thanks for the fair catch on the 6 yard line, fam

The Dude Abides

He's been taking punt return lessons from Stroman.

"For those who have passed, for those to come, reach for excellence."

We didn't have a man within 10 yards of him, typical UVA stupidity.

Fire Whit.

Brewer should be lighting this OLine on the sideline. They are getting him killed right now

I wish marty smith would do all of our games

Our defenders looked lost on that play.

"Vick, dashing back . . . here he comes again . . . Electrifying . . . and have you ever seen anything like this?"

Two longest runs for Johns? So stupid.

What an absolutely terrible read by the D on that Johns run

The oline is playing terrible but I wish our coaches would adjust and go to some quick passes. Tell Brewer it's ok to throw it away.

When the QB crosses the line of scrimmage you don't have to worry about the pass. You can go ahead and ankle him.

We put the K in Kwality

Motu is not doing his job.

"For those who have passed, for those to come, reach for excellence."

Why start now? It's the last game of the year.

We put the K in Kwality

He is the weakest link on our entire defense. It isn't even close who is second. When he drops back into coverage he doesn't cover anyone he just drops back arbitrarily and doesn't even consider spying on the QB.

I was nine years old the last time those bow tie wearing sissies beat the good guys.

It's like the game is still too fast for him. He freezes up and watches people run right by him.

"For those who have passed, for those to come, reach for excellence."

Hey ANOTHER season long QB run!

Wet stuff on the red stuff.

Join us in the Key Players Club

I am *close* to turning this off (not really, I'm just saying that to make myself feel better). Our defense is playing like crap and missing tackles left and right. Our offensive line is playing even worse. This is sickening.

Matt Johns had 28 rushing yards all season and today he's out there running like he's Russell Wilson.

I don't understand how Bud can't teach the guys to stop this.

"Vick, dashing back . . . here he comes again . . . Electrifying . . . and have you ever seen anything like this?"

No, he's just getting tackled like Russell Wilson. As in not.

Johns. The slowest QB to elude VT's offense ever.

My god!

We put the K in Kwality

UVa has more fire and desire to this point in the game...most disturbing

VT needs to wake the hell up.

Alexander was beat!

We put the K in Kwality

Adonis just earned his pay for today. One more step and that would have been a catch.

Oh my god

Alexander got lucky

making this QB look mobile

The Dude Abides

Moto has GOT to come off the field. He had the screen read. Ran 5 yards past the guy.

We put the K in Kwality

Motu is just infuriating to watch. He has some good plays, but how do you run forward to assist a tackle where 2 of your teammates are on the ballcarrier already, and still get pushed back a yard?

Time to ring Johns' bell again

At this point I think I could line up as QB and run for 100+ against our defense. My 40 time has to be pretty close to Matt Johns'.

"For those who have passed, for those to come, reach for excellence."

I feel like London is going to go gort it

The announcer could have left it at this and it applies to every single game not GT: "That's something VT's D didn't plan for was the running ability of the QB".

Why do I feel good that we held them to a FG?

We put the K in Kwality

Well, the good news is that we are playing a crappy team. Too bad we are playing that way too.

"Vick, dashing back . . . here he comes again . . . Electrifying . . . and have you ever seen anything like this?"

because they were driving and look like they want this game more than VT does right now. Also their play calling is effective and ours is not

The Dude Abides

We're lucky that's only a 3 point lead.

VT needs to show up now.

How about a little offense, and some blocking?

Can time this Qb with a fucking sundial and he is getting the edge

The Dude Abides

Exactly right.

You know, Beamer keeps on saying that he loves the character of this team, but looking on the on field results it really looks like apart from Brewer and a few others, most people don't give a shit. UVa want this more, which is really sad.

Matt Johns rushing total all season - 28 yards
Matt Johns rushing total in this one half vs VT - 59 yards (and counting).

VT has been playing right at the level of the other team for years. Well, that or just under.

Dang Coleman looked slow there

The Dude Abides

We were reminded last week, and really being reminded this week unfortunately...but there is a reason this is the coaching staffs last game

Long field.

Need to put some points on the board.

I'd like to see some up tempo. Just try it, for crying out loud.

Wow...this team is not prepared at all. If we win, it won't be because we were trying to...

I can't wait to get a new offensive coordinator, I'm glad Moto is graduating

-Semper Primus

I can't wait to get a new offensive coordinator, I'm glad Moto is graduating in 2 more years.

He's a RS SO.

Wait, what?

McM at 6ypc. Please run him.

"Vick, dashing back . . . here he comes again . . . Electrifying . . . and have you ever seen anything like this?"

Come on offense, get it together

They should tell our Punt Return Specialists that if you catch the punt in the end zone and are not confident that they will make it out to the 25 yards line, then take a knee.

Go Hokies!

Our OL is blocking 1 guy with 3 or 4. Makes no sense.

We put the K in Kwality

timeout out of the first play after a kickoff?

The Dude Abides

I'm so sick of clock management issues!!!!

Well, the VT fans are there. When does the team show up?

This late in the season these types of mental mistakes are unacceptable

Using /s is for cowards.

Embarrassing how often we have to take a timeout because we can't get lined up after a kickoff.

We have a serious chance of losing this game today...

I would say more than a serious chance with this freakin offense

We can't run block. We can't pass block seems like the quick out is working. Time to stop using it.

We put the K in Kwality

Run, run, deep pass (or sack). It's the Bryan Stinespring playbook.

We put the K in Kwality

Brewer running for his life every play. It's been like this for YEARS.

Thanks for the memories Scot, best of luck coaching at the FBS level next season you unimaginative horses ass

The Dude Abides

Praise jebus SL will be gone soon

Its time to establish the short passing game and once we get into an offensive rythmn, re-introduce the running plays.

Go Hokies!

but..but..run, run, pass..it says that right here on my play sheet

- Scot Loeffler

The Dude Abides

Brewer doesn't have time to throw short routes. Our line is horrendous.

How are we not attempting any more passes to Bucky?

He's like a complete foot taller than the CB covering him when he splits wide.

Insanity.

already hit our two catch quota for the game, plus we never throw to him unless inside the 10

The Dude Abides

Lol you have been holding on to that one

Using /s is for cowards.

Yup. It irks me when people say things like that, it shows that they haven't been watching the games the past few years and how we've literally scraped by.

#peopleneverforget

This offense has no soul. It's just horrible.

There is some talent but it is not being used correctly at all.

Gobble Gobble!

exactly...McMillian, Ford, Bucky, Rogers, Cam...no excuse for our offense to ever be this painful to watch.

Does the Offensive coaching staff not realize that they are auditioning for their next jobs? Even if it isn't here at VT, the other schools are going to look at the tapes of these last few games...

Go Hokies!

Good stop. That was critical.

Need to score here

except this offense usually needs like 7 minutes to move up the field

The Dude Abides

I seriously don't know that I've ever seen a worse UVA team.

And here we are being beaten in every facet of the game by them.

Good God this is difficult to watch.

To be fair, they only have two field goals.

Nvermind.

I don't know about that. Their skill players are finding seams today in Mizzel and that freshman WR, and their QB is running like a cement footed Tyrod

The Dude Abides

VT needs a short passing strategy. Pretend there is no offensive line. Because there isn't.

Almost time for Dadi to come home

Yes. I'll have one of those.

Dadi better come out in the second half fresh, and very very angry

Using /s is for cowards.

Good tackle.

"Vick, dashing back . . . here he comes again . . . Electrifying . . . and have you ever seen anything like this?"

That was a good attempt by the cavs.

Now, let's make them pay.

WAY TO STAY ALERT SPECIAL TEAMS!

who fake punts on 4th and 16 - London trying to get fired

🦃 🦃 🦃

hell of a play by 49, two steps more and he's looking like a genius

The Dude Abides

4th & 12 or less - he converts. 4th & 16 - he doesn't. To be fair, they saw something on tape where VT totally give up one side. Exploited it. But should have saved that for 4th and 8 or less.

🦃 🦃 🦃

Still looks to me like UVA wants to win Franks last game more than Franks boys.

Throw it to the receiver in the field. Good catch though.

"Vick, dashing back . . . here he comes again . . . Electrifying . . . and have you ever seen anything like this?"

Bailed out by London's bad play call and a penalty. Please score Hokies.

"Vick, dashing back . . . here he comes again . . . Electrifying . . . and have you ever seen anything like this?"

Saved by the flag

Looked to me as if he was bobbling it as he went out. But yeah, still very fortunate there.

"For those who have passed, for those to come, reach for excellence."

I like the ballsy call by UVa...even if they didn't get it, they're playing like they want it.

Thanks for that PI. We needed the 15 yards.

In field goal range.

Lucky play. Lets go Tech. Now is the time

The Dude Abides

We have a pathetic offense. I can't wait for the change. Hopefully with a Bud on the other side.

"Vick, dashing back . . . here he comes again . . . Electrifying . . . and have you ever seen anything like this?"

Clash of the Titans here, but I'll take it.

Because I have to.

Best in the state!

"Vick, dashing back . . . here he comes again . . . Electrifying . . . and have you ever seen anything like this?"

JMU might object to that characterization.

...and Liberty...and ODU...and VMI...and several high schools

We put the K in Kwality

I think ODU might be able to hang in this game.

"For those who have passed, for those to come, reach for excellence."

I don't know what's worse: Watching our offense play or watching modern day Kobe Bryant attempting to play basketball.

Either way my eyes are bleeding

69 total yards on offense. Travon has 6 carries for 31 yards (5.2 average). Brewer 4 attempts for -22 yards. Lets keep attempting passes.

Gotta love that Loeffler playcalling...

Matt Johns has 59 rushing yards. Marquise Williams had 74.

I have no idea why my username is VT_Warthog.

Arkansas blew a 24-0 lead in the Belk Bowl.

Memphis has 49 points halfway through 2nd Quarter. Can we have their offense?

"Vick, dashing back . . . here he comes again . . . Electrifying . . . and have you ever seen anything like this?"

Looking more and more likely that we will next year. Not saying we will do that a regular basis but yeah.

"...When we step on that field, they bleed like we bleed and we're gonna show the world."
-Corey Marshall

Love that London might come back

The Dude Abides

UVa overscheduled this year. They really should fire Littlejohn, not London.

They really need to keep London.

Please?

Haven't been able to pressure QB all day, hopefully Dadi can change that!

Fire Whit.

This offense looks like the Pitt offense...and the 2nd half BC offense.

Hopefully the offensive line shows up.

That fake punt gave VT 3 points.

Thanks.

But it should have been 7. The Cavs have no fear of the VT offense.

The list of teams that fear the VT offense could be written in block letters on a business card.

Can't really blame them

Why should it have been 7?

The Dude Abides

Because of the field position after the fake punt, near the 50 yard line.

Memphis 56
SMU 0

If it is Justin Fuente, please Lord, let us keep Bud Foster as DC!

Go Hokies!

Bud cannot figure how to stop a running QB. Show Bud the door as well.

The older I get, the better I was...Go Hokies!!!

I didn't believe you and I had to check. Wow. Just wow. I keep saying I want Herman, but Fuente would be a home run hire as well.

Say it with me:

Short passes, draws, and screens.

Short passes, draws, and screens.

Short passes, draws, and screens.

The Orange and Maroon you see, that's fighting on to victory.

Uh-oh, you said it 3 times, now Zombie Steinspring is going to come to your house when you are sleeping

The Dude Abides

2spoopy4me

Yeah, people are not playing well, but sorry, you can't spin it anymore, the play calling sucks. Call something that these players can execute.

"The world ain't all sunshine and rainbows. It's a very mean and nasty place and I don't care how tough you are it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. " Rocky B.

Loeffler has just gone completely off the rails this game.

He's put together every single bad judgement that I've been able to give him a pass for previously because you could see his system would work, and in spurts it did work.

Now he's calling maybe the worst offensive game plan all year.

This change of pace BS of throwing a bomb after a turnover is completely predictable, and miserably counterproductive. But yeah, lets do that. Every single game. And watch us get no points almost every single time.

to be fair, if the ball is thrown 2 ft further inbounds, VT is first and goal at the 5.

🦃 🦃 🦃

If and 3.75 will get me a nasty cup of "house roast" at Starbucks.

How many times has this play worked for us this year? On the rare moments the db has been beaten, Brewer hasn't gotten the ball on target.

At some point, you have to admit to yourself as a coach that they play isn't going to work for this offense, and choose plays that do. You know, like the short passing game. Which with 2 minutes and 50 yards to go, is kindof the perfect O to run, along with some TM runs.

Agreed. Loeffler is just flat out bad, and that's just the way it is. The OL is playing poorly in pass pro, but it's his job as OC to minimize that liability and call plays that can offset it. We're getting Brewer (who doesn't have great pocket awareness anyway) absolutely killed out there. Just run the ball. We almost need to put Motley or Lawson in for a drive or two and get a running threat at the QB position to open up the passing game.

But I doubt we see any significant adjustment. Loeffler and the rest of the O assistants can't be gone fast enough.

I am disgusted! Get The new coach in and get rid of ALL our turkey coaches!!!!

The older I get, the better I was...Go Hokies!!!

When can he start?

I have no idea why my username is VT_Warthog.

Arkansas blew a 24-0 lead in the Belk Bowl.

Can we get him on the horn with the current coaching staff during halftime?

The Orange and Maroon you see, that's fighting on to victory.

His game is already over at halftime. Let's fly him up to Charlottesville for the second half.

"For those who have passed, for those to come, reach for excellence."

Is Frank drunk already? He likes the way we're moving the ball???

Would you blame him? I can't. I mean, glass houses and all.

Frank said "he feels good about how we are moving the ball" ummm.....must be thinking about the first half of NC State game.

Fire Whit.

We are one Adonis play away from UVa having an insurmountable lead.

The Dude Abides

Bright side, we're only giving up 4.7 yards per play today. Other than the Matt Johns scrambles, I think our defense is playing well.

That's been most of their offense so far. It's not pretty, but if it's all they can do we should be able to keep this close (sadly, as I'm not sure how we're planning on scoring).

Watching the game in AL with my in-laws who are huge Bama fans. They are being nice and rooting for the Hokies, as they wait for the Iron Bowl to start later today. It's just painful watching this game. They keep trying to find bright spots to say something nice. But, basically, there just aren't any.

They are pretty much just looking at me, like "bless your heart".

Virginian by Birth, Hokie by Choice

I can understand the feeling. My wife went to Clemson, and does not watch football. She keeps asking why we punt so much, and if uva's qb is a good runner.

Well, bless your heart.

Yea, I feel your pain. When my in-laws from Brazil ever watch the game, I always feel like I have to apologize for the lack of offense... It's been painful those few times I could convince them to watch American Football.

Go Hokies!

and if you're from the south you know that "bless your heart" is not a good thing to have someone say to you.

I was nine years old the last time those bow tie wearing sissies beat the good guys.

With the right infliction, "bless your heart" is a very sad moment of realization.

🦃 🦃 🦃

I've held my tongue because I think Loeffler works his butt off so I don't want to badmouth him. But he has not been a very good coach He's had zero success outside of having Bernard Pierce at Temple...and their offense still wasn't very good.

I'm really really sad to see Frank go and Bud if he leaves, I'll be devistated. But man, I cannot wait for this offense to be far away from Blacksburg.

Marcus Vick just tweeted..."Tech should let me scout for them. Might have a few questionable character guys but we would be back on the map. lol"

I don't know how I feel about this, which is sad.

Fire Whit.

At least he is honest

The Dude Abides

I tell my parents the same thing... I'm not putting myself through college and paying for my season tickets to watch our players help guys up after plays and exchange laughs after 50/50 jump balls that hit the ground. I pay to watch this team win games.

I was nine years old the last time those bow tie wearing sissies beat the good guys.

Incomplete pass to Adonis Alexander...

Hokie fans letting them hear it

The Dude Abides

Yes! That was a fairly clear "LET'S GO... HOKIES..."

Beautiful sounds from LOL-ville.

I love all the maroon in the stands.

It's one of the highlights of the game.

Stroman with his career long punt return of 10 yards.

"For those who have passed, for those to come, reach for excellence."

Good stop

Show me something offense.

The Orange and Maroon you see, that's fighting on to victory.

my guess, stretch run to McMillan

The Dude Abides

Beamer and VT look so good in those retro clips.

They had the rankings wrong in that 2003 Miami clip. They had us at #2 and Miami at #10.

"For those who have passed, for those to come, reach for excellence."

They had it corrected to what it should have been.

/s

Decent blocking, bad pass.

Finally had time to throw the ball and the receiver doesn't haul it in.

Wasn't a good throw.

Terrible throw.

UVAs offense is looking WAAAAYYYYY better than our offense.

This offense is on fire....like dumpster!

"Take care of the little things and the big things will come."

SL: "I could score 56 points on SMU in the 1st half . . . of my career."

"Vick, dashing back . . . here he comes again . . . Electrifying . . . and have you ever seen anything like this?"

Well, I guess we need the VT defense to score one.

This is looking like one of those games where it feels like just a matter of time until the opposition takes the lead.

This has the feeling of one of those games where we only win because Mike London does something stupid. I'm talking like going for it on 4th down from his own 25 late in the 4th quarter in a tie game and we kick a FG to win it after 3 downs with no gain.

NICE!

ADONIS!

MATT JOHNS DOING MATT JOHNS THINGS

The Orange and Maroon you see, that's fighting on to victory.

THANK YOU ADONIS

Anyone see what Dadi did?

What'd he do?

in Fuller we trust

No idea, but CFB was laying into him coming off the field

I think he was the one that crushed Johns. Frank probably telling him to be careful; refs will be flag happy on him, probably.

"Exit light..."

Adonis with a nice pick using inside leverage!

"For those who have passed, for those to come, reach for excellence."

Adonis Alexander with the reception

Come on offense! We need a good drive and a score!

Brewer is looking horrible out there. Doesn't help that he can't trust his o-line, but those last 2 passes were very bad.

Yes!!!! Defenseeeee

Please don't blow this turnover. It's like GT all over again.

Brewer got lucky on that one.

X2

in Fuller we trust

Did Brewer become color-blind before this game started....

Fire Whit.

Can Justin F. call the offensive plays for us from his game during the second half?

"Vick, dashing back . . . here he comes again . . . Electrifying . . . and have you ever seen anything like this?"

Brewer doing Brewer things.

Oline let the snot get beat out of their QB, now their QB is making HORRIBLE decisions.

This offense is fucking pathetic.

Competition for weakest link.

Special teams, however, are looking pretty good today.

So we're 1/9 on 3rd down now.

Is that bad?

🦃 🦃 🦃

Aaaaaand another opportunity wasted.. What's new?

"For those who have passed, for those to come, reach for excellence."

Another waste of great field position. We suck and I hate watching us play football.

Yes, and this needs to change.

And we should feel bad.

And I do.

Brewer is forcing some throws...ugh

Mcmillian should be in on every running okay if we are going to run it as little as we have.

If you don't want to recruit clowns, don't run a clown show.

"I want to punch people from UVA right in the neck." - Colin Cowherd

Man, I wonder what your completion percentage could be if you walked up to somebody on your team and handed the ball to him...

They need to seriously consider benching Brewer. Guts or not, he has not been good at all today. Not even close to being good.

I criticize knowing full well I could never do what these athletes do.

At this point, our offense would be more effective if we just ran 4 Verticals every play with the intention of drawing a pass interference call.

Just wait till basketball season.......oh wait, we aren't the ones usually saying that.

Fire Whit.

With all of the pressure in the backfield on Brewer it looks like it might be starting to get to his head. He's starting to look like the 2014 head case version of himself.

Using /s is for cowards.

#Loeffense

The most offensive group in the entire nation.

"Vick, dashing back . . . here he comes again . . . Electrifying . . . and have you ever seen anything like this?"

McMillian is averaging 5 ypc, why he only has 7 carries is beyond me.. especially the way the passing 'attack' is going

As per usual let's go away from what's working. The defense will never expect it.....

Looked like Alexander was tackled before the 2nd pick. Can we get and offensive PI?

O. PI

🦃 🦃 🦃

Should have been O pass interference

If it was the other way around, it would have been PI on us.

Dad's back, back again.

Fire Whit.

Johns has lost composure - the pressure is starting to get to him

🦃 🦃 🦃

You misspelled Brewer.

True.

🦃 🦃 🦃

I love that you can hear Hokies clapping near the announcers in the press box.

horrible pass

"Vick, dashing back . . . here he comes again . . . Electrifying . . . and have you ever seen anything like this?"

Why can't he ever complete that pass?

in Fuller we trust

Honestly thought that last Johns run would go for 20.

I see ESPN is still trying to plant that RichRod to VT seed..

Michael Brewer just overthrew Bucky Hodges by 100 yards.

I was nine years old the last time those bow tie wearing sissies beat the good guys.

If only Bucky was 10 feet taller

He'd burn up in the atmosphere

Damn double posts

Keep the ball in Isaiah's hands if not Travon's.

in Fuller we trust

Adonis should be out there. He has chemistry with that Johns guy

Dammit Brewer!!!!!

#allhailmarys

"Vick, dashing back . . . here he comes again . . . Electrifying . . . and have you ever seen anything like this?"

Only 5'10" 175 lb Michael Brewer would overthrown wide open wide receivers consistently.

I was nine years old the last time those bow tie wearing sissies beat the good guys.

I can't wait until we have a quarterback whose name is not Michael Brewer. Guy's tough and has a huge heart, but the talent is just not there...

His best season record will always be 7-6. :/

2026 Season Challenge: TBD
Previous Challenges: Star Wars (2019), Marvel (2020), Batman (2021), Wrasslin' (2022)

Overthrowing receivers left and right

just unbelievably terrible play calling and even worse execution.

Brewer has missed open receivers downfield, twice. In the same series.

Fire Whit.

Travon has 1 carry this half. I seriously think Loeffler might be stroking out.

Who's Travon?

3rd down offense is terrible

The Dude Abides

Oh look Travon is there. Give him the F-ing ball!

in Fuller we trust

Run the damn football. Run the damn football. Run the damn football.

My grandmother just fainted at your language...

I was nine years old the last time those bow tie wearing sissies beat the good guys.

This game has a very VT-WF 2014 feel to it.

🦃 🦃 🦃

Waaaay more scoring, though

They didn't play last yr in football, did they play basketball?

in Fuller we trust

I mean, mathematically speaking 6-6 in the third quarter is infinitely better than 0-0...

I was nine years old the last time those bow tie wearing sissies beat the good guys.

THIS. GAME.

🦃 🦃 🦃

Short of the first down.

Go for it, Mike!

"Vick, dashing back . . . here he comes again . . . Electrifying . . . and have you ever seen anything like this?"

OMG that was a horrible catch call.

Stroman. I hate you.

Fire Whit.

Muffed the punt.

Welp, at least he got that out of his system.

#ThanksScott

Greg Stroman, Returns, heart burn....

Go Hokies!

Stro only lost 3 yards!!!

Brewer is 8/19 for 71 yards. I think he needs to throw some more.

LOL. 1st snap, play action, interception.

Did I mention that I've really hated watching VT play football this year?

We knew they'd be giving away some points some time.

This game is like watching two drooling monkeys take turns with a football.

fucking pathetic

Gd it brewer

Oh god...

I was nine years old the last time those bow tie wearing sissies beat the good guys.

Brewer is dead in the water back there and they keep throwing?

Seriously why are they not running Travon!

in Fuller we trust

Stiney is calling one last game for old times sake

Just a matter of time before that was gonna happen

SL should be immediately fired. Mike London should immediately hire him. Then we will win for sure.

"Vick, dashing back . . . here he comes again . . . Electrifying . . . and have you ever seen anything like this?"

wow, just wow.

Anyone else heard official Justin Fuente next head coach and retaining Bud Foster, my buddy just sent me a picture of a sports Illustrated tweet.

It's in another thread on this forum.

Also said he wants to retain Shane....

Fire Whit.

"For those who have passed, for those to come, reach for excellence."

Pull Brewer, there is no reason for him to be on field anymore

I criticize knowing full well I could never do what these athletes do.

Get Brewer out of the game. Now.

Brewer finally completes a pass to the other team. He's been trying like hell all afternoon

throwing off his back foot ..F U Brewer, F U

The Dude Abides

Because he should step up into the LOLUVA player who his lineman just missed?

Wet stuff on the red stuff.

Join us in the Key Players Club

There's no way you can say that Loeffler isn't doing this on purpose.

Bring on Lawson

Yes please. He can run, which would change the game. However, SL has no clue how to coach him. Why did we burn his redshirt!?!

"Vick, dashing back . . . here he comes again . . . Electrifying . . . and have you ever seen anything like this?"

RUN THE FUCKING BALL

That's what we fucking get....damn Brewer, damn Loeffler.

I honestly don't recall the last time we ran the ball.

"...When we step on that field, they bleed like we bleed and we're gonna show the world."

Brewers been running for his life, does that count?

The Dude Abides

Ford sweep in the last no int. drive, Sam Rogers up the gut the drive before that. Travon for 4 yards the drive before that.

Seriously just run the damn ball!

in Fuller we trust

How has Travon not touched the ball in this half!!!!

Because we have a complete moron as OC...take comfort in the thought that he'll be far away from this program soon.

Because it works

Gobble Gobble!

Brewer needs a stretcher, not a coach asking if he is good to go

Lucky break there.

Clash of the Titans.

Thank you Frye!

Hey, there's some good news.. Must have been Brewers lucky INT

Was going to say this.

We got extremely lucky.

I can't stop cringing watching this damn game. I feel like I've said that before. I get that de'ja vu feeling...

Let's Go

HOKIES

I literally told my wife right before that pick, "Power I? Oh well you know Lefty will run a play action or some crap like that."

Using /s is for cowards.

ESPN's Brett McMurphy just tweeted Fuente is the HC, Foster at DC. Shane stays on staff

Hopefully not as RB coach.

"Vick, dashing back . . . here he comes again . . . Electrifying . . . and have you ever seen anything like this?"

....What a shit show

So...McMillan then?

The Dude Abides

Hahahahahahaha

Good block #64

I swear to God

Loeffler is the worst play caller in history.

No balance. NONE

Welp, that's better than an interception....and Gallo missed the block that tackled McMillian.

Why a stretch play! Seriously just stop calling plays Scott. You suck!

in Fuller we trust

Well, that's why we're not running the ball.

Wait, what?

I'll take Travon over a pass all day today.

"...When we step on that field, they bleed like we bleed and we're gonna show the world."
-Corey Marshall

That is true.

More of a comment that we can't even seem to run consistently either.

We're really good at being bad at all phases of offense - running, passing, catching, blocking.

Wait, what?

Hell yeah!

in Fuller we trust

Why does 3rd and short look like 3rd and 13 every play?

And Bud, best news all day

Gobble Gobble!

Hughes is keeping us in it

Even more HELL YEAH! Thank you Bud!

in Fuller we trust

Awesome news

Hughes > their punter

The Dude Abides

Loeffler is doing this on purpose. I'm convinced. He's out of a job after this year.

As long as he is required to describe this game on his resume.

"Vick, dashing back . . . here he comes again . . . Electrifying . . . and have you ever seen anything like this?"

fantastic punt! And a screenshot of that Fuente guy!

Oh Thank you Sweet Baby Jesus! Fuente and Foster! F2!

Go Hokies!

Well shit is getting real on the coaching front...

If Fuente watches the highlights of this game, can he already opt-out of his contract?

Fire Whit.

He knows he needs to bring an offense.

Lowered expecta-a-ations.

No way! He sees this and says "Even if I fail running my offense, its an improvement over this crap"

The Dude Abides

Let's Go

HOKIES

You know those peewee football games you watch, and just laugh because it's all so horribly bad, but darn it the kids are having fun even if they are running the wrong direction?

Yeah, this is like that, except for the fun and laughter.

Good play Stroman

Yeah Greg!

Stroman redeemed.

At least its not this?

I wonder if they announced in hopes of letting any offensive recruit know it will not always be a dumpster fire here.

Eh, only a matter of time. Defense made a mistake, but this is still on the offense. 102 yards through 3 quarters, this pathetic shit show isn't on the defense.

I'll eat crow all day and be happy about it.

Another thing that pisses me off is UVa using Auld Lang Syne as a song.

That's a New Year's song. Not theirs.

Reason #537 why we don't like LOLUVA

Let's Go

HOKIES

I'm not going to be able to say that I'm "bowl-streak years old" anymore :(

Hell of a play by Malleck

Ryan Malleck said over MY FUCKING DEAD BODY WILL I LOSE THIS FUCKING GAME.

WHAT A BEAST.

I was nine years old the last time those bow tie wearing sissies beat the good guys.

Hey, that was a great pitch and catch! Look they found the tight end over the middle!

Put the ball in the end zone now.

"Vick, dashing back . . . here he comes again . . . Electrifying . . . and have you ever seen anything like this?"

YES

MOAR OF THAT

The Orange and Maroon you see, that's fighting on to victory.

Great block.

Nice job, Malleck!

Where has Malleck been all season. He is way better than how he's been utilized.

in Fuller we trust

Malleck has been used all season as an extra blocker up front. It sucks because he is a real threat if we had hawses up o-line.

Let's Go

HOKIES

HOW COME OUR OFFENSE ONLY WAKES UP AFTER THE DEFENSE GIVES UP A BIG TD?

It could be the drive that we don't face a 3rd down....

Edit: Mallack made me look smart

The Dude Abides

Bucky with the Block!

🦃 🦃 🦃

Nice block by Buckey Bucky!

Go Hokies!

MALLACK saving the damn game!!!

The Dude Abides

You guys think Fuente is now in LOLoefflers head set?

I was nine years old the last time those bow tie wearing sissies beat the good guys.

Yeah, he could be multitasking. Pretty much on cruise control for the Memphis game.

Wait, what?

Maybe that long UVA run was our program's ultimate "rock bottom." Only up from here forever into the future!?!

"Vick, dashing back . . . here he comes again . . . Electrifying . . . and have you ever seen anything like this?"

THAT BLOCK BY BUCKY!!!!

Wet stuff on the red stuff.

Join us in the Key Players Club

That one play was almost more yards than our entire offense put up all game.

You give a million Steinffler's a million play books and you'll get lucky once in a while. I'll take it!

STICK IT IN

"For those who have passed, for those to come, reach for excellence."

McMillan fake. Rogers open in the end zone... calling it

Edit: I called it

The Dude Abides

I'm good with it. Make it so.

Edit: As slow as VT develops offensive plays, the only way this works is if Brewer keeps it.

Second Edit: OK, I stand corrected. You are a master, sir!

Rogers then squeezes ball so hard it pops while glaring at the UVA middle linebacker.

I was nine years old the last time those bow tie wearing sissies beat the good guys.

Are you a wizard?

The Orange and Maroon you see, that's fighting on to victory.

AYYY LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO YOU DA MAN!!!!!

I was nine years old the last time those bow tie wearing sissies beat the good guys.

No announcer VTBlackout called it!

in Fuller we trust

Give this man a damn leg!

"...When we step on that field, they bleed like we bleed and we're gonna show the world."

Perfect.

Fire Whit.

You wouldn't be willing to share the powerball numbers would you?

You called it.

"For those who have passed, for those to come, reach for excellence."

You deserve all the legs

Using /s is for cowards.

You're a damn genius

@VTBLACKOUT

What is this wizardy good sir!!! Do we go bowling?????

Let's Go

HOKIES

Still shaking the eight ball..ask again later.

But I did dip it in dork magic

The Dude Abides

Gotta have 7 fellas. Take no prisoners.

If we can't get a TD from the 3 yard line, we should just forefit the game right now so Fuente can start recruiting

I'm guessing he already started.

Thinking this is field position in which SL will explore the options of a hail mary...

Fire Whit.

You weren't fucking kidding

This made me laugh out loud. Well played sir!

Hey, it looks like VT showed up for the game.

Whats more surprising

Memphis has held Chad Morris to 0 points

UVA has more pass offense than VT run offense

When I have to watch games on watchespn I just sit here and hit refresh like crazy to see if I can get a glimpse of what happened just a little early because of the delay.

Using /s is for cowards.

Looked to me like Chuck Clark didn't want to tackle the tight end.

I hate that guy. He is their offense.

in Fuller we trust

The announcers are saying that announcing Fuente ask next HC during the game was a mistake? How exactly?

The Dude Abides

Would have been better to have kept a lid on it.

There you go Adonis.

in Fuller we trust

Where is the flag?

This game is a coming out party for Adonis Alexander.

I was nine years old the last time those bow tie wearing sissies beat the good guys.

Reid having a great game.

Okay defense, you did good all game. You need to tighten up here.

Adonis, that was right to you. These drops...

Hope Adonis is not hurt, he is holding down that defensive backfield

The Dude Abides

They're getting gassed.

in Fuller we trust

yes, they are wilting

The Dude Abides

Tighten up!

They missed the call from earlier.

Sure wished they'd gotten that play off.

Crap. one second away

The Dude Abides

Mizzell and that freshman WR have been stretchg this defense sideways all day

The Dude Abides

What the fuck. They only review the shit calls that help UVA?

ACC officials doing ACC official things!

"Take care of the little things and the big things will come."

Gotta be indisputable.

Agree. If a catch ruling, it would be upheld, not sure there is enough to overturn this

The Dude Abides

Well, it's been a good 11 years....

EDIT: Even I think UVA got cheated on that call.

If that were VT, I'd be calling for a reversal. But I think the commentators should refrain from calling for a reversal.

Wow, that's a lucky break.

Yeah lets not trust the official that is right there

Gobble Gobble!

I was okay with the big play that popped to give UVA their last TD. That happens with Buds defense. This methodical drive is really bothering me.

Got away with one there

"...When we step on that field, they bleed like we bleed and we're gonna show the world."
-Corey Marshall

haha fuck uva. even i thought that was a catch.

I was nine years old the last time those bow tie wearing sissies beat the good guys.

Haha, awesome!

I would have overturned that if I were the refs.

...And they're still ACC refs

Wow...

Hold them boys. Hold them.

The Dude Abides

Refs will give them the TD here. No way they do that twice.

Looks like a catch to me.

We aren't getting away with that one though. Stroman strikes again.

"...When we step on that field, they bleed like we bleed and we're gonna show the world."
-Corey Marshall

Sunova!

in Fuller we trust

And that's a TD.

Wet stuff on the red stuff.

Join us in the Key Players Club

That is their reversal. TD

The Dude Abides

Even with all of the pro-Beamer referees we are getting out-played badly by 4-7 Virginia. Shameful.

That's the ballgame

Gobble Gobble!

plenty of time left

The Dude Abides

That was a TD.

This dogshit defense. Tie the game up and then get totally punked 12 plays 90 yards by this team

LOLUva has a near 2:1 TOP advantage, that will catch up to a D eventually

As Bud would say, "That Defense is playing it's nuts off!" They've played hard and had there been a competent offense they'd be up big.

in Fuller we trust

Can we get another lightning strike TD drive?

The Dude Abides

Need to give the defense a break. Need to move steadily and score.

"Exit light..."

While I agree with the logic, I would take either, but agree. Some time to breath would be nice.

The Dude Abides

Defense is gassed. 32 minutes to 18 minutes in time of possession.

"For those who have passed, for those to come, reach for excellence."

This is correct. The offense can't control the ball and the defense is thin with injuries.

Can't keep running sprints down the field.

Terrible offense with so much talent.

Amazing how bad loeffler and co can make a decent team look

Gobble Gobble!

Our defense just got gashed on that drive, but they have to be gassed at this point. UVa has killed TOP

You can get mad at me if you want but I'm afraid that might be the nail in the coffin

Using /s is for cowards.

Cheap coffin

Is it me, or are our DB's turning their heads and looking for the ball a lot more than they normally do? Seems to be biting us right now...

They'll really get after ya

Probably a reaction to all the pass interference calls against us because our DB's never turned their heads.

Go Hokies!

I love how this team always finds a way to lose.

I criticize knowing full well I could never do what these athletes do.

Really really missing Kendall right now.

"...When we step on that field, they bleed like we bleed and we're gonna show the world."
-Corey Marshall

I don't trust our team in overtime, even if we do get there.

Fuente has his work cut out for him. This team is a bit of a disaster right now.

"When I was growing up, Virginia Tech was a school that was kicking ass and taking names, and it's time we get back to that" - James Franklin

Ford, Phillips, Hodges, Rogers, McMillan. That offense looks ready to break out.

The Dude Abides

Lawson.

I'm just saying.... defense is getting slaughtered and everyone is happy about Bud sticking around?

I was nine years old the last time those bow tie wearing sissies beat the good guys.

Hard to keep a team from scoring when you're already thin from injuries and you're on the field nearly double the time the offense is. I'll take 20+ years of pretty successful defensive play over a new guy.

"...When we step on that field, they bleed like we bleed and we're gonna show the world."
-Corey Marshall

My feed appears to be several minutes behind, so I'll stop commenting on the plays.

I'd just like to say that the silver lining to a game like this is Mike London could keep his job.

Finally hit a deep one

The Dude Abides

Congratulations Isaiah Ford! You just set the record for the most receiving touchdowns in a season in Virginia Tech history!

I was nine years old the last time those bow tie wearing sissies beat the good guys.

Well, that ball had some air under it. Mallack had to wait on it

The Dude Abides

Brewer is all about clutch.

ISAIAH BREAKS THE WR TD RECORD!!!!

"For those who have passed, for those to come, reach for excellence."

FORD FOCUS!!

The Dude Abides

Let's go defense!!!

Congrats to Isaiah. Single-season WR receiving TD record.

"Exit light..."

Offensive explosion from both teams. Look out Big 12, here comes the ACC!

This game is aging me..

Gassed or not. Defense needs a stop here

"...When we step on that field, they bleed like we bleed and we're gonna show the world."
-Corey Marshall

They should be rested up now. Offense actually had a drive.

It was pretty quick though.

"...When we step on that field, they bleed like we bleed and we're gonna show the world."
-Corey Marshall

Where the hell has this version of our offense been?

Go Hokies!

Where is this reportedly great Foster defense???? And we are in for several more years of it. I hope Fuente can help on the defensive side or hire some serious help for Bud.

The older I get, the better I was...Go Hokies!!!

You must not read French's breakdowns, Mason's write ups or by the numbers.

Wet stuff on the red stuff.

Join us in the Key Players Club

All of those agree that Foster is lacking some personnel for his system.

I keep seeing this and I'll keep saying it. Our defense is thin from injuries and it's a huge ask to stop a team when you're on the field nearly double the time the offense is. Buds defense is successful when we have a successful running attack that can eat up clock or sustain drives.

"...When we step on that field, they bleed like we bleed and we're gonna show the world."
-Corey Marshall

This is why this is a rivalry.

I think Ford is at 910 yards on the year.

And Mcmillian is also over 900 yards for the season.

"For those who have passed, for those to come, reach for excellence."

COME ON DEFENSE, DON'T LET ME DOWN!

Maybe we should burn all our 2nd half timeouts right here and give our D a little more of a breather.

And here we go. Defense please do defense things.

"...When we step on that field, they bleed like we bleed and we're gonna show the world."
-Corey Marshall

Yup, looks like UVA is going to score again.
Come on defense, please get a stop.

Nope. Defensed still getting gashed. Offensive touchdown has not excited the defense... **sighs**

I was nine years old the last time those bow tie wearing sissies beat the good guys.

Adonis hasn't had a catch in a while

Mizzell and Zakias. Can we account for these two guys already?

The Dude Abides

If we could, their name wouldn't be called every play.

But don't forget about Johns and Reid.

MAKE

THE

STOP

Whats up with the missed tackles and poor gap fits? What caused this change?

Way to stand defense!!

Wait I thought they stunk /s

Actually, I don't recall anyone saying the defense stunk. I only recall people claiming the offense was shit.

Thank you Jesus

I was waiting for name to be called, is he playing today?

The Dude Abides

No, still coaching Memphis they said

Alright tie game - time for conservative offense leading to a punt. right Loeffler?

Edit: Partially right - conservative, but good enough to get the FG. Time for Foster's D to make the stop.

🦃 🦃 🦃

DO IT FOR FRANK OFFENSE.

ONE LAST GROUND AND POUND BALL CONTROL DRIVE FOR THE WIN.

The Orange and Maroon you see, that's fighting on to victory.

I'm so high on Fuente right now that I don't even care about the outcome of this game all that much. I can't feel my face

right? hahaha

I was nine years old the last time those bow tie wearing sissies beat the good guys.

Wrong. I really, really care about the outcome of this game.

Using /s is for cowards.

+1

well, I like the hire, but I can't go into the offseason losing to UVA

The Dude Abides

CONGRATULATIONS TO ISAIAH FORD AGAIN! YOU JUST SET THE SINGLE SEASON RECEPTIONS RECORD! WHAT A BIG DAY FOR ISAIAH!

I was nine years old the last time those bow tie wearing sissies beat the good guys.

Next week he will have over 1,000 yards

The Dude Abides

There aren't any bowls next week.

Good call. Got a bit ahead of myself

The Dude Abides

Team effort!

Great first down!

Thank you refs for not whistling for forward progress!

"For those who have passed, for those to come, reach for excellence."

I hate when the refs stop forward progress.

I understand why they do it, but they whistle it dead too fast more often than not.

"For those who have passed, for those to come, reach for excellence."

WOW

Mike London still doesn't realize we're trying to get set up for the field goal leaving them with ~50 seconds

The Orange and Maroon you see, that's fighting on to victory.

Please just get the first down

Please

They need to burn some more clock.

At least he didn't eat it or anything.

Go Hokies!!!

Hopefully we can pick up the first here and eat the clock. Kick the chip shot field goal and head to the house. If not, the defense will need to step up one more time.

"...When we step on that field, they bleed like we bleed and we're gonna show the world."
-Corey Marshall

Come on Joey, hit this field goal!!!

How o-old are you? How o-old are you?

I'M BOWL-STREAK YEARS OLD.

why did vt just use a timeout for a 1 yard run........................

Probably to get the football on the correct hash for the FG attempt.

"For those who have passed, for those to come, reach for excellence."

I have no earthly idea.

That had me scratching my head too.

Travon was hurt on the field, so he had to leave for a play or we had to call timeout.

Wait, what?

So we called a timeout AND he left for the play. That's what I like about Frank. He covers all the bases.

It was the right call IMO. If TM could go, he would have. Give him the TO to see if he could go.

Wait, what?

Beautiful kick!!

98 seconds.

JOEYYYYYYY

"For those who have passed, for those to come, reach for excellence."

Man, I don't like this idea. If UVa scores a TD in the final 1:40 sec of the game...

Go Hokies!

The defense is going to have to step up in a big way.

Slye-O-Matic

Our defense has not been good in these situations. Please don't screw up.

I know Slye made it, but this offensive play calling on that 3rd day play sickens me. They pretty much gave up on getting a TD or a first down and set up a play to get it in a position for the field goal.

Bleeding burnt orange and chicago maroon

Glad to get the win. But the stinking philosophy behind it will be gone for good - I hope.

Well shit. That probably means London is out.

I guess I'll take the win. /s

Ahhhhhhhhh!!!!

All the streaks live, Beamer goes out on a 23rd successive bowl game!

The only bad part is London gets fired.

Woo Hoo!!!!!!!!!!! 12 Years #LOLUVA!!!!!!!!!!!! Bowl game here we come!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you Frank and Bud!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Go Hokies!

Thanks for continuing to check back, being positive and always being all around good people.

The emotion on our sideline after that Adonis pick was the best thing I've seen all year.

I'm teary eyed. Way to play with heart!!
