EVERY DEFENSIVE SNAP.

Watts chasedown. Replay was after fumble recovery I believe.

Compiling Watts running him down and the fumble a few plays later.

Tyrod did it Mikey, Tyrod did it!!

Punt block TD with 4:00 left in the 2nd quarter
Kumah's catch and dagger td with 5:25 left in the 4th
Mock chop with fans with :45 second left in the 4th!

VB born, class of '14

Specifically the block Grimsely put on the FSU defender on the Kumah catch. He throttled that guy.

He removed his helmet for him.

Brother Hezikiah gave a new meaning to "Bitch, you thought.."

I like how Hoyt came in hot but didn't find anyone to hit.

That was Levonta Taylor, a 757 recruit.

The #7 overall recruit and preseason all American to boot

Free Hugh

As most things, it is more enjoyable from a different angle. This from the back.

The Dude Abides

Mega Jesus became Jet Jesus and tried to go bowling for Seminoles!

Once you get that much body going that speed I don't think it changes directions really well he wasn't running towards any part of the play, once he blew by everyone but I love the hustle.

(add if applicable) /s

I'm just here for the comically poor effort on the initial tackle by #26. The dude basically leap frogged Kumah's shoulder pads.

Can you GIF the entire game?

VT fans and players chopping at the end of the game

Danny is always open

Farley's INT's and a Doak Campbell full of surrender cobras including Head Snek Taggart.

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

FOSTERS: Australian for defense

Would love to see a mashup of this and all the fans doing the surrender cobra as well. =^)

"Yes I am going to have favorites. My favorites are high production and low maintenance players, coaches, and staff." - JMFF

Please gif my reaction watching Ladler on the first defensive series. First quarter, about 6:15 Mountain Time.

Not the bagman VT deserves, but the bagman VT needs right now.

Tweeted this already but, VT D 3rd quarter

(add if applicable) /s

Trevon Hill saying "Wassup bitch" after sacking Francois

By far the best moment of the game.

No problem with this, but I think Trevon is going to get himself a flag or two this year if he keeps doing this.

Yes, please!

Fuente celebration that followed the blocked punt return for a TD.
(blocked punt occurs at 3:57 left in the 2nd quarter)

Must emotion captured of fuente ever

(add if applicable) /s

I caught that -and thought the same. My expectation of him would've been a fist pump and maybe a slight smile that looked painful.

"...sticks and stones may break my bones but I'm gonna kick you repeatedly in the balls Gardoki!"

GRIMSLEY BLOCK ON Lavonta Taylor!!!

LIGHT EM UP!

Let's Go

HOKIES

That was a thing of beauty. (I'm assuming you're talking about on Kumah's TD catch/run.)

"Yes I am going to have favorites. My favorites are high production and low maintenance players, coaches, and staff." - JMFF

Eric Kumah treating FSU defenders like they were Quin Blanding....his TD in the 4th

Specifically early in the game when the knocked over the FSU DB on the sideline.

I'd like a GIF of Hilgart going absolutely nuts right there behind him

You will see this game, this upset and this sign next on ESPN Sportscenter. Virginia Tech 31 Miami 7

His decision was made after a phone call with longtime Virginia Tech assistant coach Bud Foster. All Foster told him was, "We win. They don't."

WILLIE TAGGART SURRENDER COBRA PLEASE

Gaines' pass deflection on 4th down

Hazelton treating pre-season All-American Levonta Taylor like a 4th grader on his first catch / first TD as a Hokie.

Compilation gif of every Bradburn punt that dropped inside the 10 yard line.

Strong argument could be made for MVP there.

VT Class of '12 (MSE), MVBone, Go Hokies!

Proud Hokie since 2004.

When bud smiled. I swear I saw it happen. It will probably be blurry like a Bigfoot photo but it happened.

Ask me no questions, and I'll tell you no lies

I found it. Repeat, I found it.
THIRD QUARTER 5:58
You can see the the twinkle in his eye

Ask me no questions, and I'll tell you no lies

Bud being bothered more by a sore knee than by the Gulf Coast Offense

How about the shot of the Hokie fans right after the firsts touchdown... there was around 10 of them giving some asshat the "what for". He was staring down at the field like he was innocent.

This shot? It was after McClease's long run on the opening drive.

This doesn't make the FSU fan look like an asshat...

"That move was slicker than a peeled onion in a bowl of snot." -Mike Burnop

Well, his hat is ass-backwards.

You've got to reward a lineman showing off the hands. GIF Mihota's INT at the end of the game!

That one needs its own thread with a title that says, "Defensive lineman goes on field, you won't believe what happens next." Then we can have a clickbait argument.
We haven't had one of those in a while.

"Vinnie Mihota Did What Few D-Linemen Ever Do" ;^)

TFW you're about to win a "defensive struggle" by 3 TDs.

The more I watch this, more I find myself only watching Trevon Hill's dance, because it is amazing.

Looks like ESPN should've rated both Dax and Hill as 5-stars purely based on their dancing skills

The "fumble" where we just ripped the ball out of the RB's belly.

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

Ladler diagnosing the swing pass early and just blowing it up, floyd had an awesome one too in one of their failed redzone trips

Taylor, looking desperately throws it deep..HAS A MAN OPEN DANNY COALE WITH A CATCH ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE FIVE!!!!....hes still open

We could have a string of these- this seemed to happen a LOT

*** IF YOU WANT TO BE SURPRISED BY GIFTORY, DO NOT LOOK ***

This

Is coronavirus over yet?

There was another one similar to this, but I can't remember when

I think this was the moment when FSU fans collectively said, "well the game isn't out of reach but the game is kinda outta reach, you feel me?"

All the times Hill was held after dominating his man.

The left side of their line was getting smoked by whoever we lined up in front of em. They held all game because of it.

Landon Dickerson was getting smoked and holding all night. I am so glad he didn't choose us.

The blocking from the first drive. There were several replays from behind the line that showed huge holes being opened up. Cunningham sealed the end perfectly on one opening play.

Just a gif montage of blocking.

I said this at the time, but that's the best I've seen our OL look in a very, very long time. FSU adjusted to bring 1 or 2 extra men later on, and it took us a little long to adjust back, but man, if we can expect more of that this year, it should be a fun one. Might be the best DL we face this year, and we manhandled them early.

The FSU girl just after the clenching fumble who turns to her friends and says "Okay, let's go" and motions to the exit.

That would be most delicious. That along with the glitter boys....did ESPN go back to them later in the game to see if their tears made tracks on their faces?

"Yes I am going to have favorites. My favorites are high production and low maintenance players, coaches, and staff." - JMFF

There seemed to be about 3 tackles that involved an FSU player being flipped, spun, or otherwise roughly treated. Given that FSU is know for their circus college, it would be nice to put together a few clips of their acrobatic acts.

Plan for the worst and hope for the best, not the other way around.

me, when the fsu guys were getting spun around like a helicopter

@historyhokie.bsky.social

Hey everyone you know how excited you are for giftory? i just realized that a lot of these awesome plays are gonna be in 2019 hype vids and i got goosebumps

About 9 minutes left in the 4th, the shot of Rivers on the bench doing the chop and slash

I'm here for the memes, I just stay for the football.

One more request, as my Google-Fu is not strong enough to find this gif on the internet.

There's a shot in The Natural, near the end of the scene where Hobbs strikes out The Whammer on three straight pitches, where Harriet Byrd shifts her attention from Whammer to Hobbs. Just the head turn. That's what I'm hoping/imagining/expecting happened with recruits last night, as they shifted their attention from Florida State to Virginia Tech.

"Yes I am going to have favorites. My favorites are high production and low maintenance players, coaches, and staff." - JMFF

can I haz one of the FSU runner that got spun like a helicopter down by the goal line -but with an explosion like a rocket hits him when the defender does

"...sticks and stones may break my bones but I'm gonna kick you repeatedly in the balls Gardoki!"

The dime piece in the stands at 3:02 in the 2nd quarter. I believe she is qualified.

There's a good one following the false start at 5:43 left in the 4th.

How about when the FSU o-line had to shush their own fan base for not knowing to stay silent when their team is on offense? Happened right after the 85 yard Akers run

It could have been the Hokie fans in Doak!

I know it was a penalty, but the Kumah PI where he basically threw the FSU corner out of the endzone made me laugh

ME Class of '16
VA --> AL
I'd rather be golfing.

I think Kumah and Hazelton are going to score a bunch of jump ball touchdowns.

Im not sure why they didnt continue it, maybe something in the game plan, I dont know, but physically, they were looking like they were playing against the JV team.

This right here. I didn't realize the size difference going into the game, but every time they made a play, the first DB to make contact ended up on the ground.

That PI only annoyed me because Kumah didn't need to push at all. If he just leaned on him a bit and then turned back to the ball he was still going to score. Hopefully he learns from that.

I love in the This Is Home podcast, Brandon Flowers says he told Kumah to keep pushing off, "give 'em a lil chicken wing". He followed it with, "they won't call an OPI on you twice."

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

After the big McClease first down run on our first drive, the camera panned to the crowd and there was a Hokie fan in an orange shirt screaming and pointing at a FSU fan..... I rewinded this many times at home.

"Nooooooooooo!"
~What happened?
"James Franklin to Virginia Tech...."
~Fuck me......*sigh*
"Oh my God.... They're gonna take all our recruits... like WTF bro...."
~*squints eyes in disbelief*

Every time the FSU punter had to check the endline before he punted.

"Don't go to, go through"

Not sure when it was, they panned the camera to the stands and there in the second row was a Hokie with a shirt that read "Dilly Fuckin Willie"
Thought it was funny because the camera stayed on him for 5 seconds or more but I think they were filming some fsu fan chopping or something but the shirt is all I seen

Callused perineum is a symptom of being a uva fan

There is a shot of an FSU student sitting in the stands all alone. I am pretty sure it was after the Kumah TD or after Mihota's pick.

YES. ESPN WAS SAVAGE.

Can we get GIF montages of all the holdings, and a montage of L. Taylor getting embarrassed?

Also, was People's facemasked on the 4th down goal line stop?
