Week 13 Other Games Thread

I figured I'd start this early since there isn't another one up and UNC is currently down 14 to NC State and it looks like state is about to score again.

And State scores again!

21-0 in the first half!

This is the craziest looking hurricane.

Yes, what is their excuse today? Oh BB season started.

Even when you get skunked; fishing never lets you down. 🎣

Didn't BB season start on or around the day they lost to Duke?

Basketball season starts --> football team stops winning in conference.

NC might do it for us

Leg for you good sir

Proud Hokie since 2004.

On one hand, I am happy that UNC is losing, but on the other hand, I want our guys to come out tomorrow knowing they have to win.

"Exit light..."

I want the weight of the Division off their shoulders, and want them to be able to play loose. We come out loose, we should annihilate the Hoos. We come out pressing and tight, and it could get iffy.

"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

Yeah I can see it both ways. I guess I'd just rather win it outright rather than have someone else lose their way into us winning. But then there's the whole UNC deserving some bad karma...

"Exit light..."

I agree, but...

^^^^this^^^^
And them knowing is half the battle. The other 50%?

Let's Go

HOKIES

UNC must plan on pulling one hell of a come back for their Senior Day

Is it senior day if the seniors never have to attend class?

Let's go Memphis. Up 21-10 on houston

I wonder if the Herman to LSU talks are messing with the players?

I imagine that coupled with the Texas reps rushing out to meet with Herman's reps last night.

I'm certain they know their coach likely won't be back next, and are worried about who houston brings in.

Damn, State fumbled inside their own 25... not good

"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

Go Wolfpack. I agree that if the division is already decided, the good guys will destroy the Hoos by even more

Elijah Hood has woken up

21-7... TD Heels

"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

And NC State just fumbled again

And the benches have cleared

lol what the fuck is going on

"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

Such a bad decision for the State player to try to scoop and run.

Also, I LOVE RIVALRY WEEK. LET THE HATE FLOW THROUGH YOU.

Maybe last "Chance Last U" it

(East Mississippi)

Jalen Dalton tossed from the game.

In Sam Rogers we trust.

Jalen Dalton just got ejected for throwing a punch

What a fucking idiot.

"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

Lol he's thrown more punches in his career than he has sacks.

In Sam Rogers we trust.

That whole segment was interesting... Definitely think it's an incomplete pass.

Holy hell, Dalton just missed the head ref with that punch.

"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

Why the hell are they playing Enter Sandman?

Imitation...something something...flattery

Horrendous clock management by Doeren to end this first half...

"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

lol 2 TOs, inside the 25 with 90 seconds to go... run 2 plays, throw an incompletion... and then call a timeout with a stopped clock with 18 seconds to go

smh, good job, Mike London

"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

And the kicker shanks the FG attempt as time expires

unbelievably incompetent clock management there

"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

Luckily, NC state gets the ball back to start the half. ...but man do I wish that they got some points.

The way this game is going and if we beat LOLUVA, maybe we will finally be ranked ahead of UNC in the polls.

Doesn't matter if it's cake or pie as long as it's chocolate.

Yeah, whatever the outcome in Chapel Hill...paste the Hoos and it don't matter.

UNC can't get it done and a UVA blowout is a bow tie on the cake.

-What we do is, if we need that extra push, you know what we do? -Put it up to fully dipped? -Fully dipped. Exactly. It's dork magic.

So unc has a stud rb in hood and they select a reverse pass on 4th and 1.

NC State is certainly doing their part today. Great game plan and execution.

Question for the guys in the booth, are all of UNCs return men dangerous?

___

-What we do is, if we need that extra push, you know what we do? -Put it up to fully dipped? -Fully dipped. Exactly. It's dork magic.

Through 3 quarters, Elijah Hood has 9 carries. Same number of touches as Switzer has receptions...

Why they aren't feeding him the ball more, I'll never know. Complete waste of an elite RB talent, and I hope other elite backs are paying attention.

"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

Agree completely. He gotta be pissed

"A person is smart. People are dumb, panicky dangerous animals and you know it." - K

According to ESPN's Gamecast tracker, NCSU has a 99.5% chance of winning this game after 3 quarters

"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

How's that number looking now? Pack is buh-LOWING this thing

the numbers don’t lie and they spell disaster

Never mind. Excellent post.

NOW LET'S WHOOP SOME WAHOO ASS

the numbers don’t lie and they spell disaster

That was a seriously nice catch.

NC State better not blow this.

I've never seen more sliding catches

"A person is smart. People are dumb, panicky dangerous animals and you know it." - K

Bucky Hodges says hi

"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

It's a gift...from God

I've gotten so used to hearing Bucky Rogers that I almost corrected you into that.

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

We don't love dem Hoos.

UNC showing signs of life.

NC State better not start phoning it in. It's time for them to step up and earn that bowl bid.

I'm not sure that was a catch, but I'm not sure they have any camera angle on it.

And NC State looks like they're going to completely choke this one away

TD UNC

28-21

"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

If they blow it, they don't go to a bowl.

And Doeren gets fired before he even gets to the postgame handshake

"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

Come on, State...

They need a stop, BIG TIME.

Well that's one way to assure yourselves of a bad time...

UNC has all the momentum... at worst, burn 2 minutes off the clock, but noooooo, run for 5 on first down and then throw incomplete on the next 2 running about 40 seconds off the clock. Brilliant clock management AGAIN by NC State.

"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

False Start: Bug.

4th and 3 and UNC lines up to go for it. Mack Brown says "You want to get at least 3 or 4 here"

Or 2, and a favorable spot.

Refs must be getting paid.

That was a hit?

If it's a close call, it's UNC all the way.

EDIT: Well, they did call holding. Good call.

I don't think he touched Trubisky, if that's what you're referencing

No pressure, UNC.

This is turning into an all-time choke job.

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

They got lucky, and UNC dropped one of those clutch catches.

Sorry, UNC, but that hit the ground.

Good call by the official.

YES.... STATE BALL

"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

They need a first down. Burn that clock.

Even if they can pin UNC deep with a punt, I like the odds

"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

Me, too, but then again I liked them when they were up by 21.

Looked like the weather was clearing but another feeder band must be on the radar.

Beautiful. Burn that clock.

COASTAL CHAMPS?! PROBABLY!

That.... should do it

"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

C'mon man. Can't do that.

Awesome. Nice job with the clock.

Welcome to the ACC Championship, VT!

Proud Hokie since 2004.

Great effort in hurricane conditions by both teams. Too bad someone had to lose win.

And now, we remind the Wahoos who we are. And, who they are.

the numbers don’t lie and they spell disaster

Hah! Memphis just beat Houston with less than 20 seconds to go

"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

Anyone else feel like we killed Memphis's season last year around the time Beamer announced his retirement and Fuente's name was put on the list?

Is Memphis head coach available?

So the one other game I really wanted to watch this weekend was OSU-Mich. How in the world is that game slated for noon?? Is that traditional or something??? I mean clearly the best game of the day and is going to knock someone out of the playoffs and it's at noon. Same time as the Hokies. Unreal.

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

Yep tradition, it's always a nooner

except when it's 1 vs 2, and they push it to 3:30.

The guy doing play by play for Iowa-Nebraska has the worlds most boring voice. He has accomplished something pretty amazing: making Iowa-Nebraska more boring.

So lots of 15-25 teams have lost, are losing could lose this week.

Highlight of the ASU-Arizona game: Miss Arizona being run over by Arizona's QB.

Other than that, ASU is not going bowling if they keep this up. Arizona is dragging them.

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

We don't love dem Hoos.

You don't just waltz into Arizona stadium and push the wildcats around

Surrender cobras spotted among Ohio State fans after Ohio State misses the tying field goal halfway through the fourth quarter vs Michigan.

In other news, Louisville fumbles from scoring position and Kentucky now driving the other way.

Yeah, super choking. I was hoping Louisville wouldn't loose.

If FSU loses today, we might be in the Orange Bowl regardless of next Saturday's outcome.

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

If Louisville lose to Kentucky, are we going to Orange bowl?

Wow. Louisville loses to their in-state rival in a colossal meltdown.

Mich KO return drama. Should have let Slye kick it.

Syracuse and Pitt seem to have found themselves in the 2nd half of a basketball game.

I saw the final score up on the ticker and thought to myself "wow, that's early for ACC basketball" before realizing that it was the football game.

🦃 🦃 🦃

I need an every snap video of Cuse/Pitt

I have no idea why my username is VT_Warthog.

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

I have to hand it to PSUs coaching staff, they have somehow made McSorley a solid QB. He's very Michael Brewer'esque.

Louisville? Say it ain't so.

Well done OSU.

Syracuse and Pitt...basketball game

COME ON MINNESOTA AND PSU AND ND

Happy for Boston College. They really defied the odds to make a bowl this year.

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

Loeffler. I tell ya, that guy can get you what you need to pull out bowl eligibility in game 12.

... but no more than that.

Who is the second best team in the SEC this year? Anyone playing consistently?

If LSU had got that 4th and goal against UF, it's clearly them.

UF could earn it if they beat FSU tonight.

Otherwise, UT ends another year backdooring respectability.

Edit: vandy?

Did anyone else see Ron Cherry get knocked the F out?

Can this be on a giftory if it wasn't in our game?

Made my comment thinking he'd just been hit hard, not actually rendered unconscious. Definitely wish him a speedy and complete recovery.

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

He just got admitted to the hospital. Was a pretty hard hit.

Fire Whit.

Now, that's targeting.

Really hope Ron's okay.

Hey DA! You hit the guys in white jerseys and gold helmets. The black and white stripes means that it is an official and he will not attempt to tackle your guys.

Even when you get skunked; fishing never lets you down. 🎣

It felt pretty good watching Michigan get robbed today. They got absolutely hosed by the refs. I hope Danny Coale enjoyed it as well.

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

I'd have liked it better if they hadn't been handing it to Ohio State.

Syracuse's unranked football team outscored their ranked men's basketball team. Both of them lost.

Geez Louise... Watching Clemson absolutely punking Sakerlina. Those guys are going to be trouble on Saturday.

Leonard. Duh.

Troy, NC State and Pitt all found ways to hold them and score themselves.

Anchor down, Hokiegirl

I was exhausted and I went to bed at the beginning of the 4th quarter because I thought UT would come back to do UT things... I was wrong. :)

Hail to Vandy, the new champions of life.

#17 Tennessee falls. The curse continues.

We put the K in Kwality

Vandy and USCe opened this season on a Thursday night with one of the least watchable offensive shitshows of the season.

Now both have beat UT.

Can anyone figure out what color Michigan State's helmets were? I was at the game and couldn't figure out if it was black, silver, green, or gold

You put those words together, those are my favorite words, Popeyes and bahama
- Mike Burnup

It was a catch.

We put the K in Kwality

Where do you all think we will be ranked headed into next weeks ACCCG against Clem$on?

With all the losses by teams in the Top 25 we might settle around 15 I'd think.

I think we will at least crack the top 20. 15 seems a little high, but you never know.

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

Would not be surprised to be anywhere between 18-25.

Well espn has us at 18 in power rankings so makes sense

At the moment, we are the only school in a championship game that isn't ranked:

AP has us 19th this week
