LET'S GO!!!!
HOKIES!!!
1-0 fellas!
Has anyone figured out the CBS Sports Network hack? I've just got Sling TV, so it sounds like I'm listening to Laze and Burnop this afternoon.
You can sign up for the 7 day hulu trail and then cancel on Monday.
Help me understand - is this "Hulu or "Hulu Live"?
I have Hulu - is there a way to add this just for this game and then kill it?
edit: I may just be a "new customer" and use a different email address.
Hulu live. Just be a new customer with trial. I did 10 trials of sling last year to watch college football.
This is why you should have driven up to meet us there!
Probably would have been cheaper than going out and getting a burger, beers, apps, etc. - $22 tickets!
I signed up for the 7 day free trial for CBS all-access. Hoping to stream the game then cancel it.
Can you confirm the game is streaming on there? I am looking all through their website and can't find anything about CBS Sports Net. If it's available though I'll sign up for the trial.
It was on their listing for 3:30. I can't remember exactly how I found it, it was super intuitive, but it seemed like it will work. I guess we'll see in 3 hours.
Hmm, not sure why it's not showing up for me. I'm only getting the local CBS station (showing UT-Fla) and CBSN. as options under "Live TV".
It is showing up on mine for 330 eastern time
Update: I just logged in to CBS to make sure the channel comes up and it does, and says the VT game is coming up, but it did ask me to put in a Verizon account first, not sure why. But after putting in a Verizon log-in the channel came up fine.
I used FuboTV since it seems to have a built in app for roku, unlike Hulu Live. If you use a chromecast then I think either will work.
I got a YouTube TV trial.. But I don't think YouTube TV is in very many cities.
You got to know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em.
Know when to walk away, know when to never let off the gas and score every possible point you can so that ECU begs you to cancel the remaining games of this series that has gone on for far too long.
On Verizon FiOS in Richmond, what channel is covering the game?
CBSSN, 94 (standard) and 594 (HD). I think CBSSN only comes with the sports package though.
It's on most packages other than the basic one.
Not with how Verizon is grouping channel packages based on genre now.
Referring mainly to the primary TV plan options. CBSSN is on the Extreme and Ultimate packages. It's not in the Preferred package, which is the most basic other than the custom packages.
I don't even see the sports add-on package anymore. Probably because most (if not all) of those channels are included in Extreme, so if you're going to get the add-on, you might as well just upgrade. That probably explains why I didn't have CBSSN when I first signed up with Fios, but then got it added later on.
I don't think they are doing the sports add on package now that they do the genre group packages.
My parents just signed up for the Sports Package last week so that they could get NFL RedZone. CBS Sports Network is not included. #Horseshit
I think the sports add-on package is just the pay-per-view channels (for lack of a better term). Specialty channels that aren't always on.
So glad I didn't click confirm...
Most of the "how/where can I watch the game" questions have been asked and answered here: http://www.thekeyplay.com/content/2017/september/10/vt-ecu-cbs-sports-ne...
Driving to D.C. to hang out with the guys.. hopefully I'll catch some of the game while doing manly things.
You going to the air show?
On my way there now. Hanging out with my air force pilot buddy so he can explain what the planes are.
There's a show at Oceana this weekend as well, if anyone is in the 757. Supposed to do afterburners over the beach this evening also.
When did they change to 3:30? Thought it was 2. Anyway go Hokies!
ODU game next week is at 2. This one has always been scheduled for 3:30.
Still waiting for someone to tell me it's all going to be ok to watch this game today. That the Hokies will cruise like the last two pirates opponents did.
Let you know after the game.
See? All that worrying for nothing.
How has no one picked up spot five hundred and SIXTY NINE yet?
Fuck, I swear I got it last night during my break. Welp might as well change my name to MVhokie68 now.
Well, peterb94 is member 569, but given the number of people whose memberships have lapsed, we're actually on member number 594. So the total number of members will fluctuate, but member numbers are permanent and if people renew, their number is added back to the list in the same place.
Anyone going to the game?
I'm leaving from suffolk va within the hr. Couldn't pass up a game 2 hrs away at the last minute.
Go Hokies!
I'll be there - after B's BBQ. Probably the only dude there in a punter's jersey.
I literally just woke up from a dream that I was at Hokie practice and Fuente walked past me and said "we are going to kick their ass"..... I sure hope my dream is right!
Are you Lance Harbor?
Anyone know why the CBS Sports app on Apple TV doesn't stream live games?
Can't
Be
Streaming
Let me be clear. I don't want us to simply win this game. I want the Hokies to tear down the jolly roger flag, stomp on it, and set it on fire!
Then piss on the fire because safety. Can't be having wild fires....
Don't forget planting our flag on the 50
Whoever thought of putting cheerleader pictures to lead this thread is a genius!
Facebook reminded me we lost to Pitt 5 years ago in the first year of our spiral. This was the kysheon jarrett double block game. I now feel very horrible about todays game.
It was five years ago yesterday actually. No worries!
Leap years will get after ya
Anyone have the uni reveal tweet? I haven't seen it yet.
http://www.thekeyplay.com/comment/584910#comment-584910
Decided to go golf around 3:00 today. Didn't want to stress over watching the game. Hoping for a comfortable win.
I wasn't able to watch last year's edition of this game, and as a result when I checked the score I was shocked and overjoyed.
Let's have a repeat of that, huh? Beat these fools.
Sure, ECU looked horrible their 1st 2 games. Based on our recent history though
Here's to hoping they'll be just as sucky and horrible today.
Concerned about Special teams. Becket played on kick and punt coverage and Alexander on punts. Need some young guys to step up.
Fam! I think we win comfortably today regardless of the distractions and solid players we have absent this week. I'm feeling a break out game for Clark and an all around solid game for our receivers.
Let's go Hokies!
I may be setting myself up for a major dissapointment, but I am expecting a THRASHING of ECU today. Josh Jackson, McClease, and Savoy coming out party coupled with a TD from an Edmunds.
aaaaaand FUCK ECU
YEAH!
Glad we kept some of those Hens from last week.
Just got told I don't have to sortie, fam! Jose wavered just enough I had to move on the ship (no wifi, cbs-sn or family) but cancelled this morning, so I'm on my way home with some Chik fil a.
Not gonna lie. Just read the Wikipedia page for "sortie". I'm glad you get to watch the game. Thanks for your service.
So Iowa St @ Akron is currently on CBS sports and just came out the half. Close game. Not looking good for this to be over before 330
I think it was 2011, when the VT/ECU game was on RSN, following Iowa/Iowa State...which went into freaking overtime. Since then, I've had this irrational dislike for that matchup. When I saw it pop up on the schedule last week, I got a little annoyed at it existing for no reason.
Funny that Iowa State might be doing it to us again.
Yep I had a Facebook memory few days ago. Something along the line of the entire state of Iowa needing to get the hell off my TV.
+1 for Hulu Live TV free 7 day trial...
Note that Hulu Live TV does not work with Roku yet. It works on Xbox though!
It works with a hdmi cable from laptop to the TV.
What bar is carrying it in Blacksburg?
All of them?
WHY AM I SO NERVOUS?!
Because you badly want VT to cover but fear they won't
I love my Hokies but some question marks on offense plus the suspensions makes that ECU +23 look mighty tasty. Screw it, I'm taking it. Best case scenario. VT wins but ECU covers. #Ivegotproblems
#ifeelyourpainbroweshouldgotomeetings
This is a STAY AWAY spread. Resist all temptation and do not bet this game
Am I the only one watching the ISU - Akron game right now in the VT-ECU slot?
Your not alone.
No. It will air immediately after that game.
no
see this:
http://www.cbssports.com/video/player/live
Wow, I have access to this stream without logging in.
Why am I so nervous about this game!
Because you haven't had enough bourbon
Touch'e. I will get on top of that.
41-14 and they're running OOB to stop the clock...
They pushed back our kickoff to 3:37 for TV, so here's hoping!
3-0 on coin tosses this year!
Another Touchback for Joey. Have we had a single returned kick this year?
I hate ECU...that is all.
No Sirk.
It's on, and I finished my work just in time!
Gonna watch as much of the game as I can before we go out to Chuck E. Cheese's to celebrate my son's birthday...
Jimmy Williams already out with a knee.
So this is how we are going to do it??
Welp
That play looked familiar
lol, come on guys!
I hate this place.
Why do I feel like I just need to post the disappointed Fuente gif already
C'mon
Not good
Well that was fun...
Damn I hate the Purple Pirates
OK... that is not good
I wonder if MacGruber has cut off his TV yet. /s
It's the ecu nightmare, again
Buckle up boys. This is not gonna be fun.
Our defense gave a flat effort, so uninspiring. I hope these guys get fired up.
No fun at all
Hmmmmmmmmmm....ECU scored 14 points against JMU in the whole game and 7 points on us in less than 3 mins
yay
Foster didn't want the guys hyped up about the shutout so he said get it out of the way early. I hope. Time to losen up and play right.
Now I remember why I was nervous.
Needed a 3 and out to set the tone. This team has 0 reason for life and yet we come out flat footed. Need an offensive score
This sounds like a coaching problem then
Reasons are numerous
Well that sucked. Better not lose to this dogshit team
Just checking in to see if the melt down has started...
Plenty of time for the defense to clamp down. We need to offense to prove they are capable of handling a defense without a pulse.
FUCKING FUCK.
All righty then.
Let's do things.
Why do I read these threads?
It's OK everyone, we don't have JMU on the schedule
We gon lose....
Belk Bowl.
Notre Dame.
Wow. Just wow. I have a problem and I need help. That's all I'm going to say...
Probably not the call I would make on a third down but what a catch by Clark!
It doesn't matter how good we are or how bad they are. They always get juiced up to play us.
So far looking much better on O than last week
James Clark sighting
Also Travon legs are churning early....good sign
Gash'em!
Who did they say Travon was related to?
This defense is every bit as bad as advertised.
Our offense, especially the run game, is showing a little bit of life this game.
Our OL looks better than they have thus far. Good push...finishing blocks.
Hope this is a "lightbulb" game for Clark. He's got all the tools.
cbs sportsnetwork online stream is so much more stable than watch espn.
It's pronounced GALAX not Galex
That was ridiculous. Do a bit of research guys. But this is CBS SportsNet.
What is this run game I see? It's wonderful.
Fuck yea. Way to establish the run.
Good utilization of skill players, smart plays, ball distribution. I like it. Now let's take care of business of special teams and defense and keep this offense up. =)
"Y'all wanted to see us run the ball downhill? I got chu, fam." - Travon McMillian and Steven Peoples
Well...run game looks good so far (knocks on wood)
Well the running backs have shown up at least for now
Best pronunciation of Galax I've ever heard.
just ralax . . .
Or chillax.
caller just said that peoples "sticks it in"
giggity giggity
Kudos to CBSSN for playing Ramblin Man after that score. That's production
Great to see Clark getting involved as well!
Hellooooooooo running attack!
Bud is about to lock it down. Their D sucks.
Final score 48-10
theirs?
lol jk
Well only way that score happens is if we have the 10 points...
No more predictions from you.
Well only way that score happens is if we have the 10 points...
Okay, let's SETTLE down now!
What the fuck. Get your head in the game defense, this team sucks
Is this going to be like the Tulsa bowl game?
Okay defense what the fuck
That's disappointing...
We love giving up the big plays today.
wow
...and the D looks bad.
I guess we can put to rest the whole "great defense" discussion for the season
Game on!
Seriously??? That's not what we needed...
#DBU...
My God all the defense has to do is play average and we're good
Starting to get embarrassing.
Well the offense apparently came to play....defense not so much
Shit
Bud making this QB with a 45% completion percentage look all-world.
Typical Hokie team sleepwalking into an undertalented and overmotivated ECU team. So tired of this.
I thought they were the ones with the bad defense? ASDFGHJKL I hate this series with them.
Here, you dropped this.
Get after em Bud.
Argh
Did they not watch the JMU tape? You're supposed to interfere them all the way down the field, then only play red zone defense.
Maybe we are destined to be one of the classic tech teams that just plays at the level of their competition, no matter how good or bad
All of that hype about the Delaware shutout is certainly showing its ass now
ECU isn't playing like a 4 touchdown underdog.
So one week it's the offense the next the defense can we put a complete game together.
Glad I'm watching Memphis upset UCLA... at least one Fuente team is winning
...why the fuck does this only happen against ECU?
Because we signed a deal playing them for the next 12,000 years. This is THE GAME for ECU. It makes their season if they win since they're expected to lose.
I'll give you a hint
/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_image/image/46663120/usa-today-7492891.0.jpg)
Yeah. I just hope we escape this game with a W.
Earlier I said, "we'll make them look golden".
Leg me!
Understand our d vs. wvu now?
Apparently upon entering ECU, our secondary becomes DBEw
Ok so each week has me more confused than the last. Are we supposed to be excited about the offense and worried about the defense, or is it the other way around?
Why can't we have O and D both show up for the same game?
remind me when the Defense showed up
WVU played ECU and VT
one team allowed 371 yards and one team allowed 401 yards
No wonder he got hurt, he was wearing shoes made of 7k gold
Plus probably has Scurvy, being a Pirate and all.
...kidding me Savoy
Our best D may be our running game... keep our defense off the field until Bud can get their heads on straight.
Catch the freakin ball
Lots of true and redshirt freshman and sophomores, this is to be expected.
Plenty of time left folks.
No, it's over, we're going 6-6 again, and everyone here needs to know it. /s
If they score on this drive, I'm turning off my tv.
I'll cut grass
Youth. Drops continue.
Wide open gotta catch savoy. Can't be scared of footsteps.
Ugh wish we had some of Memphis's receivers.
Lack of experience at WR is going to haunt us all year.
For one year, I would like to hear Bud say he wants to stop ECU's pass game and make them run it. Trying to stop their run game never works for us.
I feel like that would have only been semi-risky to go for that 4th down. However, I guess it doesn't matter now.
Great decision/pass by JJ against the pressure. That should be simple pitch and catch.
Alright Lunch Pail, time to get angry and tighten the screws.
Foster getting BF'd by a shitty backup with limited arm strength
Our secondary is plain awful today
Both corners keep biting on the flat
Is Trevon already cramping?
It's like 85 there today
WE ARE GOING TO LOSE BECAUSE ADONIS MAKES TERRIBLE DECISIONS IN LIFE
If he was punished for smoking marijuana then it was Fuente who made the terrible life decision.
Catches like these will cost us the game. They are gaining momentum. We are flat footed.
despite the poor coverage by our secondary so far, zero QB pressure is our biggest weakness and potential downfall
This team hasn't been ready to play in two weeks
Not sure what's worse, this pass defense, or whoever is directing this production.
Come on refs
I hate ECU
Bullcrap call
WHAT!!??
lol at targeting
ARE YOU FUCKING SERIOUS!!!!!!!
That is the BIGGEST FUCKING BLOWN CALL OF ALL TIME
HOW IS GOING FOR THE FUCKING CATCH "TARGETING"
WHAT????
I'll see you guys next week.
They can call anything they want targeting now, huh?
They're going to throw a targeting flag for trying to make an interception?
THAT'S HORSESHIT. HE WAS GOING FOR THE INTERCEPTION
There is no way this doesn't get overturned. This is insane.
Targeting???!! WTF. We can't try to catch the ball?????
NOT TARGETTING. THEY FUCKING BLIND?
So I'm really looking forward to that Clemson game now
Get your anal lube ready cause we gonna need it the way we been playing.
Now the refs are playing against us... Someone explain to me how in the hell that was targeting????? He was pretty clearly trying to catch the ball.
Look at the logo on their shirts.
Ohhhh fuck me running! Seriously! so now you can't even dive after the football on defense?
Even the ECU announcers are saying that is a terrible call.
This is unbelievable. Is it taking them this long to correct the call?!?!?!?
If ECU scores a TD on this possession, our statistical chances of winning this game take a drastic dive.
PHEW
Sad it took them that long.
We can't even get close to this QB
Fuente to bud.
You have got to be kidding me, Defense. Please make a play.
What has happened to Bud? 3rd and long used to be "Pin your ears back and go get it." now we sit in soft coverage with no pressure. I don't get it.
Stopped them in a run. Time to give up a big pass.
Proud to be wrong.
Ok, we were spared.
Our players and coaches need to get angry. I feel like our D isn't mean, they are just a bunch of very sweet kind boys on the field.
They stopped themselves.
So did we last drive.
Has anyone mentioned how much they hate ECU? Cause I fucking HATE ECU!!!!
WHY THE FUCK EVERY SINGLE YEAR DO WE LOSE TO A TEAM WE SHOULDN'T LOSE TO
This is embarrassing that it is 17-7 at this point in the game. However, hopefully the guys will turn it around now.
When Clark get touched, his feet just stop
Bud has got to start getting the damn D off the field. They are going to get gassed with these long drives and our offense won't be able to get in a rhythm. Get a pass rush! We can't give him a clean pocket every throw.
Guys guys guys... it's my fault.
I forgot to poor myself some Whiskey. Im loaded up so we're good to go
So, should I get used to us running jet sweeps for positive yards?
Maybe this is just a Fuente thing. How many slow starts did we have last year.
Josh forgot how short CJ Carroll was
Bucky could've reached it.
... from Minneapolis.
From his apartment
He's in Charlotte now.
Right now everything about ECU is looking better than VT.
Good to see a Murphy get a catch.
An angry 0-2 team vs a young 2-0 team isn't good.
I feel like if we can bounce these runs out wide we are off and running but we keep going up the middle. Of course it could be a part of the plan to set up play fakes.
If we can get decent enough blocking, it can work.
Dalton Keene sighting!
That was
neatKeeneKeene!!!!!!!
Dalton Keene onto the stat sheet.
It's gonna be a weird day.
Who cares as long as we nab the fuckin W.
Um... duh?
What I'm wondering is why we're not seeing more of speedster Henri Murphy on P & KRs...
What's everyone drinking right now?
mind erasers.
That looks REALLY good!
Stone ipa.....think i need to accelerate my intake
New Belgium - Voodoo Ranger
Terrapin - Hopsecutioner
Woodford +Coke + Woodford
Yes, I'm mixing
a nice full bodied red wine...for the antioxidants
It is good for your heart.. unlike VT football.
Alcohol
That was a very painful 1st quarter. We've got this though. GO HOKIES!
Thank goodness we have Josh Jackson slinging for us right now.
I like the look of the offense right now. Spreading the ball around well. But praise god that quarter is over. Bud and the D need to put that behind them and adjust going forward. Just unreal how bad they've looked defending the pass.
pucking fathetic
Keene looked like Bambi learning to walk on that reception. His improvement is going to be exciting to watch.
We should tell @VTEquipment to take off his ice skates.
I was going to hold off on drinking until the second half. Fuck that.
Guys I'm so sorry I wasn't wearing my game clothes. It's all good now.
I just took all mine off.
are your wet clothes on your red clothes?
I may burn my game clothes.
Told y'all it would be all good once I changed.
BYU's stadium is absolutely gorgeous with the mountains in the background. Why can't we play them?
We will...patience
I will most definitely travel to that one. There and Wisconsin
From my experience, Provo is a beautiful place...but strange. It's 95% mormon (not saying that's good or bad as I've been all over Utah and have never had a complaint or bad experience), but the people I talk to in SLC when mentioning Provo seem to always make a face. At best, it can be described as an exceedingly dull place. It's about 50 miles south of SLC so just stay there, and drive down for the game. That whole area is lovely in the fall. The drive from Provo to Park City via American canyon (where they were showing people whitewater rafting during the broadcast) is a must do.
I had one person describe Provo as being "behind the Zion Curtain."
Is pulling the center a normal thing?
Cameraman bit hard on that fake.
Our Offense can move the ball as long as we don't kill ouselves.
Running game is going well.
D just needs to get a stop. ECU has scored every time they've had the ball so far.
I trust our defense to start getting stops way more than theirs.
Mclease is so much more explosive than Travon and peoples. Would really like to see him get more run.
Watch him fumble now that I called him out.
YES!!!!
Those two play calls were terrible. Glad Cam Pulled that in to make up for it
Sadly I had little confidence in Joey making a FG from that distance.
Don't call the interference!
And he was being held like the Pitt game.
How did they not throw a flag on that?? Cam got mugged!!
I'm surprised they call targeting on Cam.
They didn't plan on pulling a flag either
we gonna have to straight up win this one.
Defense better man up across the board now.
I take back everything I said about the Delaware game. We ain't ready. And this comment was made after the Cam touchdown....
Good, Montgomery burned his 1st TO. 1st sign of weakness (IMOP). That TD to Philips oughta be a big discouragement to ECU's D.
glad we got the TD, but that was as blatant of a PI as I've ever seen
Man I thought Ford went pro?!
Pot!
Sorry...did it wrong again.
No, that's Adonis.
Settle down.
it's kinda tricky
ALL
ACC
RECEIVER
Cam Phillips playing on God Mode
Our defense obviously gave Cam tips on how to make big plays while being egregiously held.
Fubotv commercials are hilarious
Too bad they don't have good college football or basketball coverage. I kinda want to give them my money on principal.
It's got to be better than that shit espn put ur last week.
Did he just say great rivalry?
Josh Jackson's stats are looking solid so far; however, unfortunately, so are "Mini Shoe's" stats.
Slopshit tackling on that play.
Finally a punt!!!
FINALLY A STOP
Time for 25 to house
Or a shank
such a typical "american" punter move.
Anyone tracking completions to CJs yds??
Gettin' after em now
Did we block that without trying? Or was it just a shank?
Now go score and lets whoop their asses.
Alright! A stop! Finally. And a crapshit punt to boot. That stadium starting to get awfully quiet.
They sense death.
Apparently we play a lot of rivalry games
Did anyone else see Cam leave Jordan Stout hanging?
What a jerk! /s
#5 is #2
Phillips is going to set the receptions in a game record too if they keep playing him soft.
Nostradamus?
Shit
Ugh
Slye time
well lets see if Slye can make this
For anyone with a 'trained eye', is there a reason we only run to the boundary side?
Its a trap!
JOEY MADE A SHORT ONE!!!!
I get concerned now when Slye tries to kick the ball onto the sun...
Time to freshen my drink for the 17th time.
Should have been 7, but 3's OK if our D comes out to play now.
I'd like to see us throw the ball more in the red zone. Fuente and Cornelson really like to run the ball in that area for whatever reason.
I'm fine with running the ball a ton inside the 5. Nothing makes me tear my hair out more when watching games as a neutral fan than a team throwing 3 fades at the goal line.
I totally agree. I just feel like we are woefully predictable in the RZ. Looked like ECU had the perfect play call for the read play. Don't have to throw it a lot. Just enough to make opposing defenses respect it.
It's a very complicated algorithm. I don't have time to explain it.
I don't mind that play call on 3rd down though. They just called the perfect scheme/played it perfectly.
Hmm. No mention of Boykin'a glove size.
THANK YOU MR. SLYE! [rejoice in small victories]
Uh oh, can't lose walker.
Good to see him trot off.
D finally looks settled (SETTLED). Good pressure. Their QB looks rattled.
And now we know why deablo got moved to D. Jk, great play on his part.
Come on, Deablo, you came in as a receiver! :)
I mean, he did drop a bunch of passes and get moved to the defense.
I know, but still. lol
Block in the back. Jesus H. Christ on a popsicle stick
They meant to call it targeting.
Hunter is a freshman...not sure which side a the front of their jersey.
Hunter sighting for all the wrong reasons!
Butch Jones looks like such a tool.
Glad to
seeread Slye knock one throughthat sure wasn't well executed
C'mon Dev. Actually on the replay that wasn't egregious. Just stuck a hand out and the guy fell down.
Also, ECU's gunner completely gamed that call. Hunter barely touched him.
Hunter barely touched him. Looked like Stroman ran right at the defender!
Now, lets go out there and get the lead
McClease is goooood
Damn that was a nice run! great blocking too
Keene took out two dudes.
I love that Wyatt just start walking up five yards.
Josh needs to stop running forward headfirst. It's making me nervous.
I'll take that offside penalty, thanks.
Anyone know why they don't call it "encroachment" in college?
I find the quilting on their jerseys distracting. ...and not at all fashionable.
That was Cam's 94th catch this half.
Well we finally got the right call on the neutral zone infraction causing the line to react.
Yeah. Clark is fast but that play was telegraphed hard
Not to mention Clark is playing two hand touch
Not a big fan of using trickeration when everything else is working.
That play was unnecessary
Brad Cornelson.....
Going backwards fast.
...and the wheels are coming offf the O...so much for smart play calling.
That's just a dumb play call
GOD DAMN IT this drive was going well too
PI yes!!!
Fuck ECU
TargetingPI Pulls us out.Very nice job selling that by Murphy.
My god. That was a bullet downfield by Jackson
Not good Bob....
THANK YOU ECU SECONDARY FOR FUCKING UP!!!
That was bailout.
Wait, was Scottie talking to the audience?
WTF?
Lucky PI call, but....
I really don't get that reverse. We were moving the ball great in chunks. Why even attempt that right now.
we take those
Good play by the corner there. Don't give up the easy catch.
Scottie Montgomery looking into the camera like he's on the office.
Cam is going to break Ford's record today.
Hezekiah Grimsley sighting.
Cam is going to double move that corner bad later in this game. Calling it.
I was about to say the same thing. The corner was inching a little closer that time.
Just a reminder so people can give you some legs.
Cam Phillips has
89 catches in the first half9
9 for 100
please don't tell me the shoe is going to stop us
Because their Nikes.
We are not good in the Red Zone
go for it
Lead!!!!
Joey Slye and Shayne Graham, eh?
Yeah...but Joey is in his ninth year.
As long as NCAA says he's eligible, it counts.
Not sure why on every third down we don't just throw an out to the sticks to Cam? The ECU corners are scared to death of him and giving him a ton of cushion. Has it been stopped yet today??
In terms of Kick Offs, Slye is a man among little boys.
If he ever kicks one short, they're going to run forever...no way the expects that.
Never mind...he just wanted to make a tackle.
Today is Trevon Hill Day.
Keene just about had his jersey ripped off downfield on the pass that hit the goalpost.
Edit: By the way the stream is way behind the TV broadcast.
Got the lead, now let's hold it
Vinny will fuck you up if he has the chance to.
Comes with the name "Vinny."
FAINT
About damned time
25 BABYYYYYYYYYYYYY
STROMAN!
StroMAN!!!
D BLOCK!
WOOOO #25!!!
Now get 7
Hey, they can't do Shout, that's ours!
Edit: I need to stop refreshing the thread before commercial. I keep spoiling myself.
Well...they didn't do very good.
25!!!!!!!!!!!
STRONGMAN!!!!! And it STILL counts as #BEAMERBALL because Beamer was a DB (& a CB to be exact)!
Nice positive play by Savoy.
He only broke 2 tackles, but broke about 15 ankles
Including one announcer.
mm..those bud adjustments
lol yep
fake it!
throw the ball to the marker. it's not that difficult
Eh it's a safe throw while in field goal range. I'm fine with it.
Congrats Joey!
We got to get better in/near the Red Zone, period.
Savoy is mad shifty. He's going to make some people look stupid in his career.
Cam Phillips, Jr.
Slye is bringing it today lol
Slye is 3/3 on FGs today. A perfect time to break the record.
Kicker swag
Joey Slye bringing it!!
KICKER SWAG
Kicker Swag
My guy Slye
...and their fans are booing. Nice.
Skye laying the wood on that kickoff.
MY GUY SLYE HAHAHAHAHA
The fact we have the lead after that first qtr is impressive
I can't wait to review this thread when I'm sober and read the comments about the targeting call early on.
It was a great call.
You fucking nit whit...
Mom?
Lol...
Run twice then call a timeout...okay, whatever.
They were trying to boost our sack stats. Thanks!
The spirit of Timecop just possessed Scottie.
Scottie doesn't know!
And THATS how you wanna conclude the half, with a sack sandwich.
Montgomery, after running out most of that part of the half and Londoning his timeouts, almost got his QB killed.
I like how London has become a verb.
So give up 200+ yards in the first quarter and <5 in the second? I can dig it.
Is that right? Wow. Nice
I just hope we continue to give up <5 yards for the next two quarters
Cam Phillips fa president and Joey Slye for backup Mike real shit
Say what?
I had to look it up: until 2025, we play ECU every year but 2021.
W. T. F.
Cam might finish with 20 catches. Seriously. lol
I want 250 yards for Cam.
Shoutout to Lefty for getting Cam into this program. There are a few things about him that I'll always appreciate.
BC hanging in there with ND by the way.
why did they not try to get the FG there at the end of the half? Didn't they have timeouts left? What is Addazio doing? Is he trying to get fired?
Glad Joey got his confidence back but we need to get our redzone issues squared away. We could be up by 17 right now.
A lot of empty purpled seats towards the end of the half. Was that people leaving or just going to the bathroom and concessions for HT?
So, any predictions on the final score?
40-27
We win.
I know it sounds crazy....but I'm gonna say 64-17
Is everyone else seeing a commercial for Liverites Liver-aid?
Or is that my body speaking to me?
North Carolina is lighting up ODU, by the way.
UNC, best 0-2 team out there...
A close up of Scotty showed that he had dried spittle on his lip.
Scotties gotta go.
Scottie doesn't know.
I really enjoy stadiums that play a lot of Journey songs. /s
What about Bon Jovi?
Rutgers
But ECU was singing Livin On A Prayer (which they don't have).
Happy to see you guys leading at the half. And it was great to see James Clark have a 34 yard pass play. Good luck!
Have fun beating the crap out of army!
...that doesn't feel right
So true! I want to defeat them comfortably, but not embarrass them. Wouldn't feel right.
reminder to never cross houston nutt
I will not value time of possession...
VT announcers said the refs warned us not to celebrate touchbacks (waiving their hands). Going to penalize them. Also said the wanted to give Joey targeting for his tackle...targeting...on the KICKER!
These refs are fucking clowns.
Possession: VT 20:15 ECU 9:45
Must be why we are winning right?
Some nice runs. Keep it going.
Someone lit a fire under Mcmillion
Fucking YES!!!
Money Shot!
NSFW?..but hilarious
Skittles
Cam fucking Phillips? Record setting catch.
What. A. Throw.
What a Kodak Moment
OH SHIT! SWEET FUCKING YES!!! CAM DA MAN!!!
I had a feeling Cam would set the record on a long-ish TD pass.
2 pt conversion. I like the nards behind that call despite the outcome.
Welcome to the Cam Jam.
It sounds (not looks because I can't watch because no cable provider I have access to offers CBS Sports) like we're doing much better now
I gotta say guys, I love Jackson's arm. That TD pass was a beauty
Did he have it long enough?
Welcome back everyone who said they were turning the game off at 17-7.
FuboTV wins the time of possession battle for commercials.
That's how you come out the locker room. Now let's get a stop and take complete control of this game.
Must have those sunglasses.
dammn it I missed the TD!!
DAMMIT Facyson almost had it! Oh well. #DBU
What the fuck with this punt? First an ECU player gets hurt coming in off the bench and then false start.
Wow what a punter dive.
Get the punter the World Cup magic sponge. Very late call...and the replay. Emmy award winning.
That kicker was crying and holding his side, he must be weak because nobody hit him.
I'm holding my side too and crying, but I blame my liver.
Nice acting job my that punter lol. Replay shows you didn't even get touched! Maury
Punter falling over = Roughing the kicker. Good, now I know.
Lmfao, absolutely LOVE how ECU is completely and totally falling apart. Looks like they've essentially given up. Good. And fuck Ecu.
He should get an Oscar for that acting job.
No. We have an Oscar.
He almost gave his team enough field to catch McMillian
I hope #15 is okay but I lost my shit when he rowed himself off the field like a pirate haha
Holy shit!!
What a fucking play!!!
I like this traditional SEC slap fight going on in Gainesville.
Edit: Damn, my stream must be really far behind now.
McMILLION!!!
k bye
And just like that!!
BOOM!!! Mc$$$$$$$
There are six 0s in million :)
ECU QB in first quarter:
7-8 for 195 yards, 2 TDS.
Stat line now:
7-17, 195 YDS, 2 TD, 1 INT
This is much better yall...McMillion!!!
I LOVE THAT PLAY!
Pretty weird for a game to start in the 2nd quarter imo
Lol we had a lineman like 7 yards downfield. Go Hokies baby
Hell yea. Looking good now. Damn you Fuente and your slow starts.
Lol a true Hokie
ANNNNDDDD here we go.... much better
God, I drunk being love when we win games we should win.
Man, Ford on the TD earlier and now it looks like Sam Rogers is back in maroon and orange.
Jackson 4 Heisman
That's my favorite play from the Fuente playbook!
Is the rout on? I need to know, 'cause my kids are walking out the door to get in my SUV...
i think so
Prolly
Christ.
I repeated those Hokie defense stats to my fiance (A UNC fan) and she said, "thats why we are DBU!!"
She's a keeper
Great stop!
Blocked kick. Beauente Ball.
beamerball!!!!
TIMMYYYYYY
ShiBeamerball, baby
BIG TIM
WHO THE EFF IS FUBO CHAVEZ ANYWAY???
Apparently dude with a monster hog.
Our coverage defense has looked awful all season.
It's kind of hilarious watching the ECU cheerleaders energy getting less and less each time they show them
Holston Sighting
Glad we got all of our cramping out of the way in week 1.
Seems we're getting a lot of young guys some reps.
Cam is en fuego!!!
Cam...seriously!!!!
ALL DAMN DAY! Run it up!
I LIKE OFFENSE.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOM
Hey look, we're beating the spread
LMAO
Why does the first quarter hate us so?
Cam Phillips may be assuming the mantle of GOAT WR
Is it me...or are JJ and Cam destroying ECU with nothing but out and post routes?
It isn't you, but it isn't just outs and posts either.
I assume we're going with VERY generic play calling before Clemson comes to town
Jackson's deep ball is alot more accurate than Jerod's.
And prettier.
ECU stands are getting emptier! (is that a word?)
With Cam taking the spotlight JJ is have a phenomenal bounce back game after last week. I love it.
TECH FOOTBALL
Fumble time!!!
Good call.
Noob Noob!
AJ? No AJ? Ok
Anybody want a 50-burger?
clearly a catch and fumble
Is ECU even going to be able to field a team by the 4th quarter?
Man I really needed this game today.
Pimp in the game
Some backup OL. Good to see.
Boom Savoy!!!
It's been a beer first half and a bourbon second half. You tell me what the difference was.
Throwing up after the game is the difference. You should know better! :)
Worth it
5 TD's and a Sean's first TD?! What a time to be alive!
JJ 5 TD PASSES!!! GOAT
Don't jinx him
Time for some AJ Bush?
Serious question. WTF? Did I imagine the first quarter?
I did too. Vodka cleared it all up.
May have our first AJ Bush sighting next quarter.
I bet we don't break him out until ClemsonWrong!
So you predict Click Click Boom then?
Savoy and Phillips looking like twins on the sideline
The Andy Bitter Podcast will be happy to know that Kalil Pimpleton shook Savoy's hand after the TD. Plenty of content for McFarling's Pimpleton Minute
I'm listening to the ECU announcers:
A: And there is still a lot of time left.
B: Yeah, that's the worst part.
The touchback huddle is a nice touch. Don't want to get a penalty for being happy.
ECU appears to be mailing it in now.
Holy shit there are 20 minutes left in this game!
Let the 2s and 3s run wild
Man, SMH at all you guys who were negative during that first quarter... (preaching to the choir here)
Hey guys, I've been drinking for few minutes.. what I miss? Hahaha
Are you sitting down?...
There was a targeting call. Then we scored a bunch more than them.
There should be zero defensive starters in the game the rest of the way. Great time to get some experience to the backups to build some depth.
FAM, we've scored 50, and its still the 3rd quarter.....
Friendly fire out there on defense.
4 scores in the first 2/3 of the 3rd quarter.
Backup QB in with big gainer!!
We got Bush
Bush can run.
We may see 60 points.
Bush is a ball hog.
Man it feels like there is 5 Min left in the 4th qtr but it's still the third. Ouch. I like this feeling.
I guess that first play for Bush was ok...
Holston is going to be special.
Would love to see Bush play well.
Something, something, Ford.
SHOW ME YOUR BUSH!!!
We've got a baller at backup QB. So nice to see.
Wait AJ Bush wears the same number as Mook? I am confusion.
They are literally the same person.
Yeah, I see that A LOT on our team.
Where were you last year when Jerod Evans and Ken Ekanem shared #4? Or the few years prior when it was JC Coleman and Ekanem? There are others, but they're the most notable ones.
#VOTE4BUSH
The second string offense isn't about to let up. Those guys look like they want to make the most of their playing time.
I want to see Bush give it to Pimp
Hoyt definitely doesn't look like the only guy on the OL 2-deep who's under 300.
Two first VT touchdowns today. I like it.
we're still in the 3rd.......
Seriously this quarter felt like an entire game (in a good way of course).
50 unanswered points. Nice.
#HOOKERSIGHTING
We don't want to ruin his chance to win three straight co-Heisman's and one outright Heisman his senior year.
50 unanswered points lol
50 unanswered points...
31 in the 3rd quarter...
34 actually... Would have tied the record for a quarter if we hadn't gone for two.
Anna we gotta whole notha quarter!
SHOW NO MERCY!
I LOVE how I can now watch the remainder of the games tonight with a shit-eating grin on my face.
Exactly! I really didn't want to hate watch that badass Clemson D-line tonight.
Announcer just made a good point. 50 unanswered points.
So is Scottie out of a job tomorrow?
Scottie doesn't know.
I LOVE that movie so much
His name is Kevin!
Only because their AD is a moron.
The guy can clearly coach, as evidenced by his results as a coordinator. ECU just has no talent
50 unanswered.
Crap did I pick the Hokies to cover the spread???
I'm on 50 unanswered drinks, but literally no one is celebrating it. Shame.
Great, more 3rd quarter.
I give my dogs a milk bone with every touchdown. They're sound asleep.
Haha, that's adorable
Poor little fella....
Good to see ECU look like hot dog shit just as advertised. 1st quarter begs to differ, but I'm not caring.
I laughed my ass off at hot dog shit. Good stuff
When's the last time we hit 60? 20111-2012, right?
App State in 2011?
Last year we beat em 54-17. We are beating them worse than that and we are beating them worse than WVU did. I love this!
Wild Rhinos . . . save them
lol
Welp, time to pull up the hokie sports roster.
I don't think he got that first down
Gents I have to apologize to you all...when Cam scored that TD to go up 43-17 I began to feel bad for ECU cause they played their hearts out at the beginning and they've had a rough season.
Then I remembered 2014 and 2015 and I remember how much I hated those games. Then I remembered how much I hate ECU, and everything became okay. The pity didn't last for more than 5 seconds tops, but I just felt dirty but then we scored 50 and it was all good.
Thanks for apologizing. Don't let it happen again.
Huelskamp looks a whole lot bigger than he used to.
Yes he does! Brought some lumber!
Firing Ruffin is looking mighty suspect now.
Now?
it was suspect from the start; the AD tried to low ball McNeil's assistants but he said "fuck that noise"
Is the AD on the hot seat at this point?
Just checked the box score, and VT has 30:11 in TOP.
We can breathe easy now folks.
I knew it! It means something!
TOP is literally how the committee decides who goes to the College Football Playoffs.
couldn't have said it better myself!
It's Science.
Wait, we didn't score? This feels weird.
Give it a minute

you got 'em
60+ points is going to happen.
I think I just scored.
Ole Coleman getting him one. Good for him man!
Going deeeeep into the bench now. Coleman Fox!
And there is Fox
Fox!
The next guy to score for VT is probably sitting in the stands.
...Or even sitting in Blacksburg!
Dwayne Lawson?
Good for Fox. That is awesome!
Put me in coach! I think I could get a TD at this rate!
I see a fox in the end zone!!!!
Coleman Fox for 6. Good for him.
Nice to see Fox get a TD.
They couldn't see the fox hiding in the bush!
I have not seen this mentioned;
Few stupid mental penalties
No fumbling.
No shitty snaps from center.
I wasn't too long ago, remember.
JJ throws one sweet pass. Jerod never had that. I'l take JJ anytime.
Oh yeah and I knew we had it all along./s
For those keeping track, we've now scored more points and racked up more yards than JMU or WVU did against ECU.
At ECU btw,
it's like we're good or something
Im gonna have to call my doctor in 4 hours
They ruined our seasons I wanna ruined their program
FOX!!!
Have our starters already arrived back in Blacksburg?
The BACKUP kicker is even in the game at this point.
The wife and dogs are not appreciating my "Jack Click! Jack Click!" chant. I thought you guys might appreciate it though.
Oh really. Then pump it LOUDER!!!
Is the student cheer leader now the QB? I don't even know what I'm looking at anymore.
How do you not know who Vanilla Jack Click Vick is?
It's Jack Click! Hokie for Life! Wish he would have passed. If he did I missed it,
JACK CLICK
THERE ARE MORE PEOPLE ON THE FIELD THAN IN THE STANDS! LMAO
things are Clicking right along
wow, we've gone very deep on the bench, Jack Click is in
JACK VICK
VANILLA VICK JACK CLICK
I love how Fuente still has the headset on and intently staring at the game. Seriously.
Honestly none of these guys have played much, it's probably hella interesting right now for the coaches.
Coleman Fox with the circle button.
he had to bring up the Sugar Bowl......
does Fox have a 100 yds yet?
single game total offense record
We needed this.... ECU came out hard and chippy and the Hokies put em in their place
Good night all!! Getting drunk with you folks is always the highlight of my football weekends!!
I am definitely drunk right now. Mission accomplished! That 1st quarter required it.
57 unanswered points...yawn! lol
Click / Fox = awesome.
I love a coach that does not take his foot off the gas! Yes shove it up their arse....ok!
FAM?
FAM!!!!
Game summary
![]()
The only downside to this game was not dropping 70 on them.
I so wanted Fuente to let Click air one out.
I don't know what to do with my hands
I am very impressed with Josh Jackson's numbers. 24/31, 372 yds, 5 tds, 0 ints! Those are incredible numbers regardless of opponent. That's a 77% completion percentage. Something clicked on both sides of the ball in this game.
... after the 1st quarter.
Update:
Hear Fuente's comments about the refs in the post game?
No, please share.
He was saying how tough it is to "play a road game, with another conference's officials. ...and a few of those calls...I'll just say I'm glad we're in the ACC"
It was clear early on that we weren't going to be getting any "benefit of the doubt" calls, especially while the game was still close.
My brother is really loving the 64-17 score as he graduated in the class of 64. I was rooting for just one more touchdown as I graduated in 71. I don't think we've ever scored 34 points before in just one quarter (the third quarter). That was amazing.
