It has begun. GO HOKIES. I wonder if this reaches Page 2? I sorta hope not because that probably means we ended up in OT again.
Can't wait for kickoff.
Go Hokies!
I swear there's a dress code of maroon shirt and khaki shorts for everyone tailgating today
So you're saying that it's gonna be a good maroon effect turnout? Nice.
Hokies > Tarholes basic math
Let's go Hokies!
Have you done the Hokie Pokie today?
Let's Go, Ho-Kies!
Let's Go, Ho-Kies!
Let's Go, Ho-Kies!
Haha love watching the corpsmen get all into it too!
I hope Renner plays so when our defense lays the smack down they got no excuses...Let's Go Hokies!!!
oh and LET'S GO BALL STATE!!!!
I second this statement.... I think today we are all Ball State fans
I am typically a fan of anyone who is playing UVa :)
I agree with this as well..... The enemy of my enemy is my friend
And if it's WVU?
Me, I would disavow any knowledge of that game until it ended.
Well, in that case it's less of "I want WVU to win," and more "I just want UVa to lose to whoever they're playing."
Is it possible for both teams to lose?
I'd be surprised if that's ever been said before
Hey! Can A. Exum play for Ball State!?!?!!? - just a couple plays?!?
GO HOKIES!
BEAT DEM HEELS!
Do they really need him, though?
Message from LT3 Optimus Prime:
Hokiebots...ROLL OUT!
Close games are fun and all.
But I want to see a good ol' fashioned ass whoppin today
Agreed.
This. We owe these dudes
Reason #1 why Bud Foster is the best defensive coordinator in the country: His teams always trust in him and his system.
Jack Tyler: "We watch other teams all the time, every day, and they're not doing their assignments. They're not getting in their gaps, and you can just tell that they're not buying into the system. They're trying to do their own thing, trying to take over, trying to do other people's assignments. We don't do that here. Because if you do that, you won't play."
gotta love the way our Hokies play their D. I throwing a 4 sack, 2 INT prediction.
Who's house?
Our house.
Big day out of #17 and #14 and #4
Does anyone else notice the sign on College Gameday from a Northwestern fan that says "Yeah Tyrod" with a picture of him?
Oops double post, dang smartphone.
Saw that. It made me very happy.
Did anyone notice this? Does anyone understand?
I want to know who is that Rachel person on the signs, and why are they still even talking about USC and Kiffin.....they both suck.
I had to Google her. She is a model, currently on the show "Suits" and an alumna of Northwestern.
Cool, thanks.
I was afraid she was some lost person or something. Saves me from having to scan the grocery stores and stuff trying to find her.
I want to see a pounding dominant running game today and O-line feasting on pancakes......no worries about cut blocks today.
Oh yeah........and Sam Rogers first touchdown as a Hokie.
#DDMMPTDS
Saw something earlier that said Marquise Williams might start at QB for UNC?
Remember how pretty much every game that year, we had to come from behind to win (except for #LOLUVa)? Hosley was so clutch that year. I still think we'd have a couple more wins last year if Hosley and David Wilson stayed for their final year, but that's history
Yeah, but stinespring would still be oc...
Shifty players like Tyrod or Wilson made plays with their legs, despite Stiney. But yeah, a staff change had to happen sooner or later.
We had so many comebacks that year that after a while it didn't even bother me when we'd be down 10 or 14 at halftime. I knew we'd win the game in the second half
RIP Cavs.
If it hadn't been said, it's maroon tops and white bottoms
Ugh needs more Maroon!
It was too much to hope for #allmarooneverything
Go Hokies!!! 31 - 13 Virginia Tech!
#ALLMAROONEVERYTHING
What are we wearing for today's game?
While we wait, I FTFY, #newhoos
GET SOME, HOKIES!!
Looks like a good crowd turnout, and good Maroon Effect participation.
Crappy turnout in Hooville. Everything is right in Football today
They are down too..Ball St went right down the field.
Here we go!!!!!!
Knowles takes a knee
Solid 6yd gain for Trey
Thats what I want to see to start. Yeah Trey!
And Trey Edmunds already breaks a longer run than all of last week!
Just saw the Offense's line-up on TV, man Kalvin Cline really learned a lot in 11 days, he's shown as a Junior...
AP credits.
Screen pass to Trey for a few yards
Line needs to protect better
Two solid runs? Abandon the ground game for screens! I don't get it, but let's see how it goes on 3rd down.
#Balance.
Punt time, after a 5 yard Knowles gain
Not a great start.
Logan now best all-time Hokie passer!
FEAR THE LUNCHPAIL!
Two runs, one 1st down... and we start the short pass game? I say pound it out until they stop it.
Wow, Marquise Williams starting for UNC instead of Renner.
This is not good, the D's main weakness is a running QB...just proven on that 3rd down....but I have faith....he is a new guy.
Marquise Williams starting!!! Lunch time.
Marquise Williams is starting QB
Didn't Tech recruit him? Can't remember
yes. it came down to vt and unc.
He originally committed to UNC, but then had apparently flipped his commitment to us (which obviously never materialized). Basically he played us so that we would offer Asante. So yeah, I hope we get some good hits in this half.
Kyle Fuller with an awesome pass breakup!
I think they should have stayed on the ground with those large holes on the first two plays.
Kyle is a god
I wouldn't go that far.
#ALLOFTHEFULLERS
I love Kyle Fuller so much.
looks like they got the 1st
We're gonna need to have a QB Spy all day.
Going to have to adjust the game plan here. Williams is a pretty good dual-threat, unlike Renner.
Marquise is shifty
props to the crowd...I know it's Homecoming but it is loud for a Saturday 12:30 kickoff...
Fortunately, we've faced some tough dual-threat QBs already this season
Need to stop that wildcat..maybe that foot his still bothering him..
Bonner and Jarrett shut him down
what was that wall I just ran into? Oh 99...
Williams eaten by James Gayle and UNC will have to punt.
BOOM!
your turn, Hokie Offense
Nice stop, if they want to keep running this type of offense they will have problems today.
Gayle covered the shovel pass and then ALSO got the quarterback.
Dammit Kyshoen, run N-S!
Fielding it on the hop, he had nowhere to go. I agree - should have just run straight at the two UNC guys and gotten 2 instead of -5.
A positive gain is always better
Indeed. As a safety, he shouldn't be afraid of contact. I know he wants the big return, but he's got to make better decisions.
he got the South part right; -4 yards
These ACC Network announcers are not good
They never are.
Their long snapper got hurt by the turf monster...?
haha
I wish the offense would get a groove going like Georgia Tech. Ugh.
Flag on the play
Slow start, again.
This offense is frustrating. Again, Trey barrels for three so we stop running.
definitely; stats so far say we should be running the ball.
ECU walked the dog on this defense..they had trouble on outside runs..we need to see more of that I would think. It's early tho..
Thank God for our defense.
Looks like we'll need a big defensive play to spark things today.
We got close on their last punt. A blocked kick would be huge. I'd love for Lane to erupt on a play like that, especially with all those recruits there today...
These announcers are pretty bad
Tyrod Thomas... I almost threw my chair
Not liking the O game plan for the moment. ECU ran roughshod on this team
I think Loefflers trying to feel them out a bit. No excuse for not being able to get a single first down yet. Have to be more efficient. Logan has to hit those simple throws to the TE that was a nice play action call
We've had 1st downs.
Call me petty, but I don't like coaches that wear visor caps.
Ha ha. It bugs me too. And players on the sidelines wearing baseball caps.
It would be like a baseball player putting on a football helmet in the dugout.
False start on UNC! Let's go, crowd noise!
Good rush D there.
JAMES GAYLE WITH THE PASS D!
Against TE Ebron!
GAYLE CAN PLAY DB???
Gayle vs. Ebron, round 1 - Gayle wins.
Pass.. There's the Defensive End... hahhahahaha love it
Gayle in pass coverage? Awesome
Jarrett with another loss on the punt return. GO FORWARD MAN! It's just kind of funny now.
He is SOOOOOO BAD at returning punts. Who is the idiot that keeps throwing him back there???
Do we need to get Jarrett a compass? Run North!
Don't we actually want him running SOUTH this quarter? :P
LOL. Fair enough.
Seriously, Jarrett again looks lost on Punt returns
The second return was better. Only -3 yards vs. -4 yards on the first. Hopefully he'll run forward for 7 yards on the next return in order to get even.
I realize moving around may open up opportunity to make a big play. Also creates opportunity to fumble. Gotta stay focused
I understand that when the punt block is on, few people are blocking for the return.
But man, Jarrett, if you're gonna run, then run.
Yea, I think he had room there but waited for blockers. The punter was running away from pressure and out-kicked the coverage.
Juke, juke, stop for a second, change directions, tackled for negative gain.
I think he's just having flashes of those gigantic returns on every play, and you just can't hit those everytime.
I'd really like to see Mangus get a serious look at punt returns. Then again, I'm not the coach.
I was just thinking about Mangus. Frank must have his reasons, though.
Our kick returning has been disappointing this year. Jarrett needs to make a decision and go
The blocking hasn't been good in the return game this season.
Come on Jarrett!
Does anyone else see the new QB has a major advantage for VT?
Given that their game plan thus far looks like GT, and Williams probably doesn't match up well with our awesome secondary, yes, it's an advantage. Major one? Not so sure yet. These shifty QBs can be trouble.
Not really.
Coleman with a nice run
An outside run!!!!!!! That's what we need to do until it stops working!
3-and-2
1st and Logan!
Wow, Coleman nearly caught that ball!
Logan with the first! Nice motion there by JC to confuse the D.
That was the best fake handoff I've seen Logan make
Run, then run. Then run again, please.
BYRN'D! 1ST DOWN!
Beautiful throw by Logan! Big gain to Byrn.
Nice throw and catch! Get the train moving down the field!!!
DANNY COALE 2.0
HUGE TOUCHDOWN BY KNOWLES!!!
TOUCHDOWN! WE FINALLY HIT A LONG ONE!
AWESOME!
TD KNOWLES!
THOMAS TO KNOWLES ON A DEEP ROUTE FOR A TD!!!!!!!!!!
Is KJ34 coached to run east and west...or does he just not understand north and south? Wonder what would happen if he ran straight up the middle?
Wooohoooo!
YEAH BABY!!!!! KNOWLES BLEW THEM AWAY!!!! TOUCHDOWN TECH!!!
45 yarder off of play-action. That's how it's supposed to work.
YES YES YES YES! HE CAUGHT SOMETHING! FOR A 45-YARD TOUCHDOWN! YES!
45 YARDS TO DEMITRI!
TOUCHDOWN TECH!!!
*CANNON SHOT* I want to be up there so bad :(
Knowles with the straight burner move! And he caught the ball!
That's more like it, Hokies!
Now that's a drive!
YESSS!! Beauty
That was beautiful.
Good play-calling there. A mix of outside and inside runs to set up the long passing game.
That's a real cute Hokie Girl!
But no horse on a treadmill. Odd for a VT commercial
That drive was a thing of beauty
Decent return for the heels.
DAMNIT BALL STATE I EXPECT BETTER OF YOU
yeah, saw the update. bleh
Ebron just got Tariq'd!
Tariq Edwards just leveled Ebron. Punt time!
On that TD play, that's the kind of design we need in order to hit deep passing plays. Go routes seem to be less effective with our personnel than deep posts and hitch routes.
Damn our defense is unbelievable this year
SCORE AGAIN, LOGAN!
No return! It's getting better guys! /sarcastica
Logan has been money since the Marshall game.
JC with a nice cutback for 7 yards or so.
Hey, a cutback/counter.
Coleman getting his chances today, and making the most of them
Those two drives (offense's score and defense stop) were just awesome.
Good to see JC back.
Definitely.
1st and Logan!
only a 6yd QB dive
First down, Logan!
Stanford with the 1st!
Wide open for a big gain by Stanford.
Y'all all saw that checkdown by Logan under pressure, right?
Stiney and O'Cain's minds must be blown.
Got that right
That was truly impressive. He felt it coming, stepped up in the pocket (Lineman picked up the block), pump-faked the corner, and then rifled it into the middle.
Alright, who ever is playing the Logan Thomas drinking game....you've gotta take one already, announcers just had a "how tall is he and how much does he weight?" comment.
AND THEY GOT IT WRONG!
Coleman with a 3yd gain. End of 1st. 7-0 Good Guys
They covered over our new scoreboard with a digital scoreboard? Only on the ACC network...
I think it was digitally projected up on the West Stands. I think it would an issue with advertising if they put our scoreboard up there with all the ads on it.
I wonder if Renner will play at all?
I know it's early but I'm loving North Carolina hasn't been able to cross mid-field yet. The defense needs to keep that going :)
If there is anything close to a hole to run through, JC is better than Edmunds.
That's what plus speed gets you.
Logan is breaking all these VT QB stats. Just think of the possibilities had he received effective coaching from the beginning
Think we all forgot how good JC is. He gives us a whole new look. Think that will help Edmunds production in the long haul. Might be good to see both on field regularly with Logan's threat to run. Could be very tough to stop
I really wonder what they'll do with Caleb? He could be a great pass blocker, but hasn't picked it up yet
SL will figure it out...he has shown already he knows how to use our talent
Look at all these new approaches Loeffler is adding
I'm very impressed with him so far.
Football saw Sam Rogers and sailed high
UNC got pressure that time 3rd and long
BYRN'D INSIDE TO THE 8!
#straightBYRNED
was that allen iverson or willie burn?
Paper Boy delivers again! Willie Byrn with the big first down!
Byrn with the jukes. You guys think his knee is ok?
White man juke!
Bah! Coleman looked like Jarret on a punt return there...
The drive is starting to die and we know the FG isn't a given..looking for a trick play here :)
Logan tried to hit Rogers with a pass TD. Timeout. WE DEMAND A TD HERE!
Enter DJ for a TD!
TD DJ COLES!
TOUCHDOWN TECH
I fucking just called that SHIT! TOUCHDOWN TECH!!!!!!!!!!!!
TOUCHDOWN TECH! Wide open on that one. Very nice.
Logan now is over 120-yd passing, 2TDs and 10-14 today in the Air!
I like the way this is going. Let's not get derailed.
I want to see a few rushing TDs thrown in there, for good measure
Another touchdown! Hooray! I'd love to see a shut-out to make a statement. Run up the points and don't get cocky thinking you've already won.
Love how we call a timeout there and actually come out of it with something that actually works. Oh the beauty of having offensive coaches
Stinespring in booth.
"Wait... that's what a timeout before a big third down play is for? I thought it was so I could get a head-start on the rush to the smoked turkey legs."
14 points and UNC hasn't crossed the 50... This game is making me happy :D
2 complete drives in Lane Stadium! Has Hell frozen over!?! Who the fuck cares! So awesome to see Hokies move the ball
LOL...well played
RELEVANT.
keep it up, boys.
Better break the 2 TD curse today!
Ball State 10, newhoos 17. Ball State ball
Good special teams!
Offense is looking good. Defense is looking good. Score is looking good. Its nice to see Logan playing well still
Is it so much to ask for a defensive TD today?
Is it ever?
Why they have to redo the kick? UNC just gained 10 yards because of it.
Apparently there was a roughing the snapper call on the point after. I prefer the spot they had originally...
800 Turkey Legs, hooray!
I wish I could be in Lane today. The atmosphere is looking great.
Same here, my friend that was supposed to find me a ticket is somehow up there...but oh well, maybe next week.
C'mon D
Glad that was the backup QB b/c Fuller just got BURNED bad.
Looks like UNC is trying to shake up the play calling. Give them nothing, Hokies!
Flag Down, please be on them
Holding U. of Non-Compliance
Bonner prevents a TD
Well, that was awful.
Blitz comes..and it's a screen...ugh
Damn they hit the screen perfectly
I spoke too soon about the mid-field thing... Sigh.
Where is the pass rush?
It's not really there today...
Alright, what's up with the secondary right now? Yielding way too much space and yardage.
SHUT THEM OUT, DEFENSE!
This looks like a TD drive..need to stop them. We are not really getting to the QB, dude has some quick's.
Clearly our D was confused and distracted from the offensive outburst
Good pass D. Facyson banged up
Damn. We do not need him injured.
NO BRANDON NO NO NON NONO NOASNGINAS GNA'GNE
Facyson looks OK. Just hit the guy so hard he knocked the wind out of himself.
spot will be close
Damnit, we can't get to the QB!!!!!!!!
Damn, first and goal UNC. Come on D, let's get a turnover!
1st and Goal
I am not a fan of the zone defense. Its giving them too many gaps
C'mon, do not let them have a touch-down. Make them kick a field-goal. And then block it.
Camera man had me confused.
TD, Ebron
Damn.
That was a hell of a catch.
Dammit, touchdown UNC. Williams paid for it, though.
Beat me to it.
Damn.
The QB got blown up and that is just a miss match...
Shit, no. Okay, offense make it 21 and get our 14 point lead back.
Aah. :-\
Williams paid for that one though.
Ok offense, answer with another TD
Not much Ke. Fuller can do with that one
Agree, Ebron is a really good football player. UNC had a great matchup there. Defensive line needs to generate more pressure on Williams.
Why didn't Kendall try to get in front of that one?
With the height advantage Ebron has, it likely wouldn't have mattered.
Tie ball game in hooville
Ebron can play.
UNC made some sort of adjustment cuz everything was open there. Bud will counter. Lets get him a nice long drive to talk it out with our D
We need to keep our shutout streak going. Guess it'll be the hoos
Too high, Logan
That was our D's one allotted touchdown to inspire a faint glimmer of hope to be crushed later
Is Famous Jameis the real deal?
Looks to be when Ive watched. At worst very solid QB
Well... I'm glad I predicted FSU winning.
GOT TO CATCH THOSE!
Stanford.... y u drop it.
Damn it. Dropped.
Dammit. Punt time. Not the way we wanted to come out after that drive. If only Stanford had held onto that...
Ugh, punting. Boo
unc fumbles the punt return out of bounds
CATCH WITH YOUR HANDS!
Okay Lunchpail, do your thing. A big play would be nice here.
false start!
A little too much hurry in the hurry-up. But now we give it right back with an offsides.
and now offsides on us...
Damnit Dadi
good pressure by Gayle
3rd and 3 - get those keys!
1st down in our territory. Dammit!
There O-line is blocking our line well..
Kyle got fooled on that route.
The defense needs to shut them down now!
This should be HOLDING
Every other offensive play for UNC is some junk gadget play.
holding!
Big time holding on Edwards..
That Marquise Williams is burning us with his legs
a stop here would be great. . . please
carolina timeout
We have to come up with an answer for Williams, he keeps gashing us. First step is to keep the offense on the field so the defense can rest a bit. They're looking tired.
Need a stop here
2nd carolina timeout, newbie errors
Timeout again..WTF. They better run something nuts after talking about it but thanks for the rest UNC.
Great play, that was impressive!
This offense is tough to stop. Gonna have to use some of our Marshall game plan with this mobile QB
Stuffed! Nice move by Jack Tyler and a great stop by Kendall.
Hmm..look for 3 runs up the middle by LT3.
let's get 98 more yards of offense and 7 points
...and now we start from our own 2. Ugh. Oh well, 98 yards to go!
PAPER BOY
Go DANNY! I mean Willie!!!
WILLIE BYRN? YES HE WILL.
I'm so glad that's catching on.
The Paperboy!!!!!!!
Dammit, so close!
Willie Byrn with 83 yards! So close to breaking open a 98-yard TD...
HOLY SHIT LOGAN THOMAS
What a play! That was the perfect play call..so happy we didn't run it up the middle but UNC was looking for run plays.
And the referee goes rolling down on the ground.
GIVE THE BALL BACK TO SAM ROGERS!!!!!!!!!!!
DAMN IT WE ALMOST HAD A SAM ROGERS TD
Fedora graduated from the Mike London School of Clock Management with back to back timeouts.
OMG THAT PASS. PAPERBOY! AND SAM ROGERS!
HULK SO CLOSE
a rock
Damn!!! Look at that burst from Rogers!
Thought for sure Rogers had his first TD there. First and goal!
SAM ROGERS. #DDMMPT Aw, darnit. So close.
ROGERS 14YD PASS TO THE 1!!!
ROGERS!!!1 #DDMPTDS
Sam Rogers injured???
Rogers had one thing on his mind! Destroy all UNC players.
Sam Rogers allows himself to be tackled to share the glory.
Damn my TV must be a ways behind yall
You could see a collective shitting of the pants by the UNC defenders when Sam Rogers got in open field
Damint! Wanted him to get that so bad!
How many times do you have an 83 yard pass that isnt a TD
Sam EFFING ROGERS!
Oh no, is he hurt?
Sam Rogers hurt? I'm confused...
He didn't get hurt, just distracted...
kid knows what he wants
please be ok, Sam
Wtf!? No bitch!
his ankle . . . "I am not worthy of carrying #45."
sloppy false start
Sam Rogers isn't hurt, he's just allowing himself to feel what he does to everyone else so he can be more lethal.
He really is one for the people. If you're not for him, you're against him.
#HokiesVsTheWorld
DJ COLES TD!!!
YES TOUCHDOWN!
Hell yeah! Yeah Logan!
DJ AGAIN! ON THE ROLLOUT
Logan 3-0
COOOOOOOOOOLLLLLLLLESSSSS!
TOUCHDOWN DJ COLES!
With that, we break the streak of 2 or fewer offensive TDs.
AND THAT'S THREE OFFENSIVE TDs IN REGULATION! IN THE FIRST HALF!
We actually look like a functioning offense?!?!
to be fair, their Defense ins't too sharp this year
but functional offenses execute against bad defenses
when was the last time our Offense was playing at the level of our Defense... so nice
If Logan throws for one more TD, he will have 4. Who was the last QB to throw for 4 TDs in a game? Randall?
That's a very important touchdown, with 2:44 left and UNC getting the ball to start the second half. If the D can come up with a stop, I'll be very happy.
Damn that was an impressive drive!
And the 2 TD curse is broken!
Go for the kill, Lunchpail D!
a 98 yard td drive. Its nice to venture into effective offense territory.
LT3 Optimus Prime...rippin, pickin, and shredding apart that tarhole secondary!
What's our school record for passing TDs in a game?
I think it's 5, but *going to check*
Edit: Yep, 5. Bryan Randall against Syracuse.
Nice play call once again!
Picked by Jarrett!
KYSHOEN PICK, flag down
I thought I saw a flag too. They must have picked it up.
Yeah Jarrett!
Jarrett had a better INT return than punt return today.
Aw yea f-kers!!!
YES! Just throw that ball up for grabs haha Need to just air it out here..
D-B-U!
D-B-U!
D-B-U!
D-B-U!
D-B-U!
JARRETT WITH THE PICK! AND HE RETURNED IT 13 YARDS
New punt return coaching technique: "Just pretend you intercepted it."
Logan escapes pressure for 7yds
He wanted to throw it deep lol
I love this D!!!
That's what she said.
LMAO
I'm so glad we're not having a down week after GT. I was quite worried about that...
Commit today Ricky Walker and Tim Settle!
LT3, sending opposing defensive players to the sidelines since 2011.
Logan Sacked.
You guys we have an offense today I don't know what to feel
Sprained Ankle. Hope he recovers quick.
Sack and a false start. Not what you want after setting up for 2nd and 3.
False start. derp.
And I jinxed us. Send the downvotes
Man, they said Sam was in tears that he can't go back into the game..glad that man is a HOKIE.
He's crying about the carnage he won't be able to unleash out on the field... all the Tar Heel defenders he won't get to run over... all the PT that his ankle will have denied him...
Those aren't tears. It's liquid rage.
word on the sideline is that no one would tell him. so the coaches paid 5 security guards to go tell him he couldnt go back in
Meanwhile, VT needs to hire 5 new security guards for the ones that mysteriously went missing shortly thereafter...
Byrn drop. Time to punt
Bad drop, that would had been a 1st down.
Darnit Byrn! I was loving you today...
Rogers has a sprained ankle :(.
Also: Hokiegirl, you must REALLY hate Peyton Manning....
My fucking Vol sister named her dog Peyton. Gag me.
Did he sh*t on your carpet or something?
Oh gag me... He is God here. Ugh. My friend had a dog he named Peyton...
And at UVA? Seriously? That's two horrible things mixed together.
Never have liked Peyton. And now I know why
He'll have the perfect message for those UVa grads...
Extremely well played.
That is the most glorious image ever. Turkey leg right back at ya.
Wasted f-king sh*t
Okay, when was the last time we had a huge pass completion from our 1 Yard Line like that Byrn route?
Still wish we were moving the ball more on the ground.
I do too but it seems we are a passing team. I don't know if our OL just can't move the defenses or what it is but we move it throwing more and it is working now. As Logan keeps this up the run game should get better too.
I would like to see more under center runs and PA
Agree with all of that. Must be some reason we dont get under center...not sure.
21-7 Good Guys at the Half! 3 Offensive Touchdowns!
Great first half!
Thoughts on a separate 2nd half thread? Would make loading comments quicker.
I'm not opposed to this, but some people might miss the link in the flurry of comments.
Nah, just need to get it over 1000 comments so we're on the second page :P
Naw, we traditionally keep the whole game on one big thread
Didn't the Marshall thread break 1000 comments?
Yep, and it went onto a second page, which completely hosed the search for new comments.
Yeah cause it went into overtime.
Yup. And surprised the shit out of us when it went to the second page
Ball St lolouva 17 all!
If anyone is wondering and has Directv as well, I found the UVA-Ball State game on channel 642.
Yea, it's on 242 for Dish, or CSNMA. I'm watching that game and Jameis Anus throw deep ball after deep ball, I swear that's all that guy can do.
Hehe...James Anus
Yea, I'm trying to recall that joke where Doug Benson said his family was so poor they didn't have Famous Amos cookies, they had Heinous Anus.
So yea, they call him Famous Jameis....we call him Jameis Anus. I'm open to changes folks lol.
646 for me. But I'm in Georgia so I get different sports channels.
Holy crap, did anyone else see that run by Ball State?
#beatloluva
Seriously, when was the last time we had an 84-yd pass from our 1 Yard Line?
Isn't that funny? Watford thinks he's the Second Coming of Tyrod Taylor!
BALL STATE RECOVERS FUMBLE!!!!
TD BSU!
Someone needs to gif that uva fan!
According to a report I saw this morning, Mike London has asked to play ALL of their games at home next year. He has even volunteered to paint the field however the visitors would like as a compromise.
Don't see the point, it's not like they have a home field advantage!
and he'll give all of his timeouts next year to the other teams if they UVA can host the ACCCG as well.
Ball State inside the 20
4/8 on 3rd downs. Not bad. Let's pick it up.
TOUCHDOWN BALL STATE! PARTING OF THE RED SEA!!
We are all Cardinals today.
F-kin lovin that sh*t!
HAHAHAHA. Oh LoLU
Meyer sighting
YOUR NAME IS LARRY FEDORA! NOT LARRY VISOR!
I AM DISAPPOINT
Oh no, C'mon D!
Let's keep up the tempo this half!
Skip with Marquise stop
To the ground!
GREAT DEFENSE!!
Hopkins just ate an early dinner on the QB haha
Ky. Fuller all over that sh*t!
There you go D!
Ooooh Kendall back for the punt return
I like how he faked going for the catch and they bought it.
Let's go OFFENSE!
touchback, GO HOKIES SCORE SOME MORE!
Woo, Kendall was on Punt Return duty...too bad we didn't get to see it :(
It's turkey leg day..start spreading them around!
Let's get another TD here!
There was that play I hate... That never works...
Run game is still struggling
Byrn with a solid gain
Damn it Mangus.
low snap, Mangus drop. punt
Damn, almost got that play off after the low snap. Not quite, though :(
Holding
Nevermind, Block in the Back
That's coming back.
Bad snap killed that drive!
Terrible coverage... Even with the flag, terrible coverage.
Yup, you are right sir and the tackling wasn't special either.
I hope the flag brings that back. Please please please.
That sh*t coming back
Yeah, that sucker's coming back. Fuck you, UNCheaters
The refs have been GREAT!!! Got saved right there from poor tackling.
Special Teams can't give those up, even with the penalty
Too many missed tackles.
Yep...started with AJ outkicking the coverage a bit and then bad tackling
Haha! Nothing like a flag to kill momentum! =D
Aww man, apparently Jarret's in the locker room with cramping, Desmond Frye replacing him.
damn hope he's alright
Shit.
Damn. He went out with cramping in the Bama game. Let's hope that Frye fares better today than he did that night.
GO FOR THE KILL!!!
GREAT D!!!
BONNER. HOLY SHIT WHAT SPEED!
Bonner hits the RB in the backfield and it's fourth down!
Bonner did great there
No chance. Not even. Back to the sideline f-kers.
Kendall tried to make something out of nothing on that return.
Who motions a player on a punt...
Apparently the Heels do. They have on almost every punt.
Bonner takes allot of shit but he was fired out of a cannon on that play..what a play right there folks.
Good defensive series.
On an unrelated note, these ACC Network commercials are killing me. KILLING ME
Lol, yay Robert Woodall, go from selling drugs in the trunk of your cars to just straight up selling cars...
Look at those heels in the sea of Maroon LOL!
Jerome Wright sighting.
What a play by Bonner.
Ugh, the Line is still getting manhandled on run blocking
3-and-out.
Wow, the offense has done nothing this half..can we get back to the short passing game? It's been third and long all half..that looked like PI.
Why f-k do they ALWAYS try a run from shotgun!? IT DOESN'T F-KING WORK!
Good punt, AJ. Now let's get a pick-six or something. Game's getting a little boring.
C'mon D
Dadi Nicolas overeager
Jarrett is back on the field
Ebron is dangerous. Shit
They say he is the best TE in the nation..I believe it.
Son of a bitch.
C'monnnn defense!
Did Dadi get clipped?
It looked like something happened. he shook the block then got dropped on a dime
Yeah, cut blocked.
Are you talking about that outside run play for a big gain? Looked like whoever was on that edge got pulled down very quickly, tripped or something.
D, what is happening
Looking bad again. Offense has to stop going 3-and-out. The D can't keep up if they do.
We just can't win without making it entertaining, can we?
This isn't looking good..defense getting beat by the lack of pressure up front.
SACK!
Nice sack.
Big play by Maddy.
tarhole center is hurt
HUGE TFL BY COLLINS!!
Holy mother. Four Hokies in their backfield at the snap!
Dadi is liability against run...think Collins is nicked up
Reverses aren't working for you, UNC. I'll take that. Nice play by the D.
That's my D!!! Great play holding to a FG..the UNC O isn't bad and I'm not sure we prepared for this speedy back up.
We're lucky we escaped with a FG there
They shouldn't have gotten anything... I was hoping for a 20-yard loss on that reverse haha.
Need at least a FG on this next possession.
Forced a FG. Good outcome after it looked like they were just going to march right over us there. Now, please offense, sustain a drive and come away with some points!
Seriously, let's get the run game going here. We need to score again. The defense needs a break
You called it! Coleman for 8
Okay, I'm not allowing North Carolina anymore points. No.
THIS IS BLACKSBURG NOT CHAPEL HILL, STUPID ANNOUNCERS!!!
8yd gain by JC
Smith is in at LG
another low snap, shit
Low snaps... WTF?
Series of bad snaps here. What's going on?
These low snaps are killing drives..
That's like the 2nd or 3rd low snap. Come on, Little Wang...
It was Miller
Farris*
Hmm. They were talking about Wang, so I thought it was him.
They just showed Farris when they were talking about the center... Is Wang not in there?
Hokie Timeout, that means Hokie Touchdown time!
punt. C'mon Line!
Offense is just wasting time now. I don't like it.
WTF!! Where didn't the passing game go? Can anyone see what UNC is doing this half that they didn't do in the first half???
Good punt
What is going on? ANOTHER 3-and-out.
We need to see the Tip of the Spear return
Nice tackle by KJ34 there to prevent a first down.
Was that not a hold on the DE?
Another Williams sprint to the 1st
Maddy hurt. Not good
Wtf with all the botched snaps!?
Good grief, they are wearing down our D with how much time they have to spend out there. Rushing D is starting to look porous.
Nooooooo Maddy
Ebron again
Oh my gosh... Ugh.
I think Maddy was just tired TBH
Come on Kendall, you gotta try to murder that QB, not back off and play the pass!
These screens and scrambles are killing us today. Defense looks gassed and the offense looks suddenly lousy. We absolutely need to stop them here or I'm going to be pretty worried...
Ball State 31, uva 24
Flipped over during commercial in time to see Eli Harold get an unsportsmanlike penalty and to see that there are roughly 25k fans at the game.
Time for a big defensive play
COME ON HOKIE LUNCHPAIL!!!
13yds!? That's it!?
Good D
Geeze they still made a play there
Williams got so lucky.
Oh that was bullshit!
Good stop!
Big fourth down.
Hokie Timeout, unc will go for it on 4th and 1
Facyson with a good form tackle. I think he would've jumped the route if he had help over the top. But if he misses, that's a catch and a TD. Smart play.
Timeout!? Seriously?
if we can score one TD, we'll probably win. just one TD offense!
KYLE FULLER WITH THE HUGE PICK!!!!
PICKED OFF BY KYLE FULLER!
what a play!
Kyle! Kyle! Kyle!
KYLE FULLER! OH MY FUCKING GOD YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL
Yes! Interception baby!
That was a great play! Wow, what a play folks!
I thought to myself "Fedora's gonna dial up a pass."
Either I read Kyle Fuller's mind, or he read mine. I'm not sure yet.
THAT WAS SPECTACULAR!!!!!!! DO SOMETHING WITH IT, OFFENSE!!!
F-king A!!! =D
I guess we gave up on our short passes?!?!
Ah I see what the problem with that play was. He threw on a Fuller.
Fuller is god
Offense needs to drive. 13 yards in the second half is pitiful.
Turkey legs all around!
Stanford! 1st down!!
Big gain by Stanford. 20 yard reception.
small gain with a defender in Logan's face
love the play, but damn't Stanford CATCH WITH YOUR HANDS
Let's GO..
Gamecast just put up a 20 yard completion from Thomas to LEAL??!?!?!?! Is this true?
no, that's just retarded espn
Damn, I had visions of ridiculous Wild Turkey resurgences.
OLINE, SERIOUSLY, WHAT THE HELL?!
Enough with the zone read!
Running from I-form and singleback? Yeah, what happened to that from the 1st drive?
Why can't we run after ECU went up and down the field..hmm on the play calling this half???
Ugh, third down again after a loss by Trey. Our line needs some serious work. There has been no blocking today.
3rd and forever long again. . .
Son of a bitch... What is up with the run game? Are they selling out trying to make Logan beat them? Cause if they are, why aren't we passing?
great catch!
Stanford bringing his A game
beautiful snag by Stanford, 1st down!
Stanford = spectacular Canadian.
Another big gain by Stanford. This offense is full of drama...
LOGAN IS PLAYING OUT OF HIS MIND!
What a catch but nice step up in the pocket by LT3!
beautiful pass. and Stanford finally used his hands and not his pads to catch a ball. Yah!
WRIGHT!! 1st down!
Defensive holding declined
Man, I was scared that one was coming back. Nice play by Wright.
Jerome Wright again. Interesting how he's rarely talked about, and yet he's seen more of the field than Caleb today.
Awesome! Good to see the 4th RB in the game to make a grab in traffic. We just can't run the ball at all...
Are we just not getting push on the O-Line? Seriously.
huge sack. fuck
That's a huge sack. Dammit.
That should never happen with 4 down lineman..awful protection.
Benedict got straight-up beaten there and just gave up. 3rd and 23...
sack by benedict! Aweso... oh, wait....
O Line let us down. Killed that drive
God damn it... Why didn't we go for the first?
That was a case when holding would have been a good play.
At least Ball State is up ten in the 4th
FUMBLE! YES! SPECIAL TEAMS!
Fumbled punt! VT comes up with it!
HOKIES RECOVER PUNT FUMBLE!! CHASE WILLIAMS!!!
HECK FREAKING YES!
YES!
I knew that kid was gonna drop one sooner or later.
Put them away here, Hokies! don't cock it up, O Line
Well, I wonder how things are going in College Park: http://scores.espn.go.com/ncf/boxscore?gameId=332780052
Fuck to the yes! Now let's do something with our lucky break
HAHAHAHAHAAA! SUCK ON THAT FIGHTING FEDORAS!!!
Thank you UNC! Nice recovery!!!! We hit our 3 turn over goal AGAIN.
"for"
STICK IT IN! STICK IT IN! STICK IT IN!
3rd down already? Ughhh.
facemask
Had to be a facemask on that one. Edmunds was rolling.
Facemask on UNC is a gift of a first down!
WE DEMAND A TOUCHDOWN!!
I think that might've been a facemask
GIVE IT RIGHT BACK TO HIM.
We needed that penalty desperately!
nice dive by Trey to the 1st yard line
Give it to TD Trey again.
What's wrong fighting fedoras? Y'all mad? =D
The run game is alive once again!
Really want Edmunds to get the score here, need some confidence for the running game.
UNC illegal substitution hahaha
UNCheat imploding with penalties.
Come on, O-Line... Seriously. Let's go.
still no push. stuffed at the 1
TOUCHDOWN BY TREY EDMUNDS!!!
TOUCHDOWN TREY EDMUNDS!
There we go!
There we go. Finally. Maybe we were just trying to take some time off the clock?
YES! TOUCHDOWN TECH!
SMH...#3 for Carolina has been f*ckin up all day. Why do they still have him returning kicks?
blocked PAT. No return. ughhhh
Damn, XP blocked.
THAT'S HOW WE ARE SUPPOSED TO RUN THE BALL IN BLACKSBURG!
... but that was horrible FG protection. Goodness.
Blocked XP... What the hell.
That was not on CJ. That dude came in completely unblocked.
Well that block nearly went back for two but up 3 scores with 5mins to go..look for UNC to throw it and VT to pick them off!
I want Facyson to get one.
Seriously, Grimey needs to reinvigorate the Offensive Line.
HA
I love that Lefty is building the run game by sheer will. Love it. Our passing seems leaps and bounds where it was and now he is just hammering it down their throats to give our run game confidence too. brilliant
So, I really want to know how we beat the hoos to the 4th quarter?
NO IDIOTS, NO DUMB PENALTIES NOW!!!
looks like it's on 80 from unc
FIGHT! FIGHT! YES!
What just happened out there? I lost audio..
Wait, what, what what? What did I miss! I need a replay!
Look at the thugs from UNC trying to start a fight.
Whoa. What did I miss?
THROW HIS DUMBASS OUT!!!
80 ejected.
great camera work (not), can't figure out how to show the punch
Wow, UNC player ejected!
ALL OF THE REPLAYS WERE HORRIBLE ON THAT!!!!!!
That number 80 ripped Wilson's helmet off I believe. Typical thug from UNCheat.
Solar interference? Wow, throw that dumbass out the game.
#80 for UNC ripped Tyrel Wilsons helmet off and threw a punch. He's ejected.
I like how our guys jumped in ready to beat some ass and still didn't draw the flag.
I thought James Gayle was about to kill someone.
"You throw a punch, you're on your own." - Referee
Even though some fans are leaving, overall it seems it was a great atmosphere for all of the recruits there today!
Loved the Let's Go, Hokies chant there after that play
Ok, time to head back into the woods and try and get some deer in the freezer. I'll listen to the end on the radio
Some real bad blood on the field now
I hope everyone behaves now. There's still 3 minutes to go and we're classier than they are.
Tabb GTFO!
This game's been over for the fedoras. Just marking down time now.
Get out of this soft zone. Conceding too many yards.
I think the guy that got ejected was the same guy that gave up that interception to Kyle. He had a bad day...lol
ball state scored again
Against UVA's vaunted defense???!?!
But...but...Ball State is only 4-11 on third down. That MUST mean they're the best defense in the ACC!
ACC Network: "Due to our inability to film the actual game footage, we will act like the punch never happened."
Love the fire on this team now. Seems like this team is really coming together as one now. Take the Coastal and #beatclemson !
SACKS ON SACKS ON SACKS
I like how the feed froze from just after the TD until after the punch. Thanks, WatchESPN. You're fucking fabulous.
Dadi got a bit manhandled on that play. Shows how much he needs the extra weight
41-27 Ball State LOL!
C'mon Lunchpail, don't give up a score
I really want to keep the 4th quarter shutout streak alive.
Bonner almost had a pick. Regardless, good D all around on that play. Gayle was about to eat Williams.
Awwwwww, Bonner almost had that :(
Jarrett with the huge hit
Bonner almost had that... And Jarrett just laid the wood on that receiver. Damn.
Damn, touchdown UNCheat.
Ugh. TD given up in 4th quarter
Damn it...
Kyle got burned on the double move... Meh.
fuck... and on a Fuller. That's not meant to happen
That touchdown pissed me off a lot more than it should have.
Preach.
Wanted to keep that 4th quarter scoreless streak... Same here.
Hands team, let's go.
Darn it..needed that bonner INT but we are still up 10..I can live with holding UNC to 17 total.
It's alright. I'm still going to call up every tarheel I know, and kick them while their team is down
Defense hasn't been great today.
That'll about do it!
It would be nice for LT3 to get over the 300 mark..just needs 7 yards but this one is in the books! Offense looked great in the first half and died in the second half..hope we didn't decide to sit on the lead.
VicTory!
Hands team!
Hmmm... http://www.thekeyplay.com/comment/65072#comment-65072
so what you are saying is .... you paid Kyle to let him get that last touchdown? jk... good call. +1
The fact that he got burned and we lost our shutout streak actually aggravated me, but I took some solace from it haha.
If they hadn't blocked the XP, I would've had it.
Hahaha, that was one of my first thoughts. The kick was blocked and I said, "DAMN! But wait, that means I may have correctly predicted at least our side of the score..."
Nice. How did you see that blocked XP coming? Haha.
2-0 in conference #ACConnotice
LOLUVA is down 48 - 27! I love it!
Touchdown Georgia Tech! Hooray! Really hoping they get a win against Miami.
I want Miami to win and keep winning. Until Nov. 9
Ball state just scored again! LOLUVA down 48-27
Ball State up by 21!!!! #NEWHOOS
On to Pitt!
Kyle's INT closed the door
&
the recovered punt muff LOCKED it!
Solid win.
GO HOKIES!!!
The Hokies are 5 - 1 and GT is up on the U
Logan was 19-28 today, 3TDs no Ints, 293yd through the air
68% completions. Nice.
Logan's FAINTS are gonna be off the charts this week! Where's the 5thFuller when you need him to do a count??
I think I saw about 4 or 5 drops today, too. LT was VERY accurate!
5-1! Lookin better every week!! Good job Hokies!!!
Thank you, and HOOAH!!!
HOOAH!! Y'all keep up that good work! I see y'all getting ranked now!
We really need to run that ball again, though. Grimey and Shane have some work to do. Loeffler, though, can make some decent in-game adjustments.
off topic, but seriously dude, you're riding 5,000 legs. How do you have the time for it all? That's damn impressive.
Well, I have had an account since April 2011. Plus I'm a fanatical Hokie!
