I know we are frustrated, disappointed, numb, and even angry with how this season has gone, it's time to rally!
Streaks will end eventually, but until they do, it's time to rally!
It's UVA week for crying out loud, it's time to rally!
For those who have past, for those to come, reach for excellence...it's time to rally!

FWIW my UVA supporting boss tried to trash talk me today and I gave him.my only thoughts on it all.
If UVA can't beat us this year they won't be ending the streak for a very long time.
Over on lesabre, they're talking about how cheap tickets are on stubhub and that they should flood the stadium with wahoos to see the streak broken.
Eff that, man. Even in the most tumultuous years, we can and should still rep our team in the stands and not let those cheese eating, Zima chugging douchebags take over our house.
they should flood the stadium with wahoos
How?? Their own shitty stadium is half empty this season despite actually having a good year for them.
However, they do bring a lot of noise and excitement into the festivals that a small contingent of their fans actually attend.
They wouldn't know how to get there. I'm not worried. Remember what happened to their equipment truck the last time they came up.
We were stuck behind that!! Lotsa fun trying to turn around on a road where the rock wall is right next to the road!
thinking about Dead Mans Curve getting the best of LOLUVA always makes me laugh. There are now road signs prohibiting tractor trailers on Mt Tabor Rd, specifically because of this.
I know what those frothy bubbles mean in a bottle of Coke Zero.
Yep, means the ratio is just right
UVA has not been able to use emojis to describe a victory over VT.
That's because SOCIAL MEDIA didn't exist last time UVA beat VT...

LOLUVA anagrams to Poop Emoji
💩
LOLUVA anagrams to LOLUVA.
And to UVALOL
This isn't the win we deserve, but it's the win we need right now.
Has there ever been a truer (more true? Whatever, its early.) statement made?
That guy always gets a leg from me.
My leg is for the Amanda Seyfried look-a-like behind the Hokie Respect sign. Nobody should be blocking her view, though.
My son and I have traveled from Texas to see this game. I am confident that the Hokies will rise to the occasion and keep the streak alive.
Not to be that guy, but we really shouldn't have to rally on the LAST game of the regular season. We should've rallied a while ago.
true, but my point really is, for three days can we stop bitching and moaning about playcalling, players leaving, firing coaches, fans turning on fans, and for one last time rally behind this team.
via GIPHY
"Not to be that guy, but I'm totally gonna be that guy"
"totally that guy" anagrams to "loyalty tat thug"
Isn't that how those statements are supposed to work?
For the first game of the season, I threw a bone in ribeye rack on the Egg. I haven't done that since. I plan to do it again on Friday.
Seems like a winning recipe to me.
Out here, they swear by Traegers
https://www.traegergrills.com/
I haven't figured that out yet. The egg was super prevalent when I was leaving the east coast. Some people had traegers. I moved out to Nebraska and no joke every person owns a Traeger, most had never heard of the Egg. After using both I'm a big fan of usability of the Traeger, I can set that deal to warm up from my phone, don't even have to get off my ass.
Which Traeger you got?
Hokie07me: I am Hokie07me. And I see a whole army of my countrymen, here in defiance of douchebaggery! You have come to cheer as real fans. And real fans you are! What will you do without the LOLUVa streak? Will you cheer?!
outoftowner5: No, we will troll message boards and sit back smugly while the rest of you get your hopes up!
Hokie07me: Yes!, cheer and you may be let down. Be a whiney little bitch and you will get a modicum of enjoyment at the expense of hokie nation as a whole...at least a while. And dying in your bed many years from now, would you be willing to trade all the days from this day to that for one chance, just one chance, to come back here as proud hokies and tell our enemies that they may win in women's field hockey and fencing and squash and powdered wig design but they will never take our streak of football dominance over LOLUVa!!!
William Wallace much?
I went forward in time, to view alternate futures. To see all the possible outcomes of the coming conflict...
And.....?
As a Scotch/Irish, I must say, fine speech - now what do we do?
KILL THE
ENGLISHHOOS!!!Close enough... How did a University started by Thomas Jefferson (author of the Declaration of Independence) end up with a British Loyalist mascot?????
Time for the players who want to bleed, sweat, and pay the price to turn this around to start that turnaround by physically imposing their will on UVA.
They could be ripe for an upset. UVA's players have known nothing but failure in this series. Their confidence that this is their year could be a huge advantage, as the emotional freefall that could happen if VT can hit them in the mouth early- that fall from confidence coupled with the empirical data from past failures.
Make them doubt and run them over.
via GIPHY
That used to be VT football right there. Mid 90's and for the most part through the mid 2000s. Jump on them early and make them doubt.
I think a healthy Peoples and McClease could run on this UVa squad. I'm just worried about the defense being able to sustain any 1st qtr momentum. I like their chances against UVa's QB though. He's tentative in the pocket, and he hesitates on his runs. VT linebackers/ends have always feasted on guys like him.
Definitely, and we have been relatively hot in the first quarter lately.
via GIPHY
The one thing that scares me most about this game is that UVA has NOTHING to lose - They have locked up their bowl game, they have an opportunity to end the streak, and do it in Blacksburg. I think Bronco opens up the playbook on stuff we've never seen before because of that.
The noise this week doesn't help our focus either - short week of prep, twitter noise, players leaving, headlines of bowl streak on the line, etc - I really hope we find a way to stay focused. This week will be the biggest challenge of the staff of the season.
"Good morning. In less than 74 hours, TKP fam from here will join others from around HokieNation. And you will be launching the largest football clash in the history of the Commonwealth. "Commonwealth." That word should have new meaning for all of us today. We can't be consumed by our petty differences anymore. We will be united in our common interests. Perhaps it's fate that Friday is the Twenty Third of November, and you will once again be fighting for our LOLUVA dominance... Not from tyranny, oppression, or persecution... but from winning streak annihilation. We are fighting for our right to brag. To exist. And should we win the day, the Twenty-Third of November will no longer be known as an just another Thanksgiving game, but as the day the HokieNation declared in one voice: We will not go quietly into the night! We will not vanish without a fight! We're going to live on! We're going to dominate LOLUVA! FRIDAY, we celebrate our 15 YEARS OF COMMONWEALTH CUP DOMINANCE!"

I'll be brewery touring in Charlotte... I'm afraid to tune in, but I know half way through, I will see someone's Burnt Orange/Chicago Maroon threads and in my alcoholic fueled state, the urge will overcome me and I will shout out to the heavens: "LET'S GO!"
I will irresponsibly pull up the game on my mobile which may potentially reach its quick and untimely death of smashing into the sidewalk if the good guys have a smaller number next to their name.
Then I will rejoice, as I will not have an avenue of communication for the many of dozens of naysayers and pompous Cav fans to send me hate mail.
Enjoy the queen city! Be sure to hit NoDa brewing and Birdsong. They are my two faves here.
TripleC was founded by Hokies and Olde Mecklenburg is great if you like German beer
Avoid Sycamore if you can
RIDE OUT AND MEET THEM!
I just want to see them (coaches and players) come out with fire and give it all they have. I'll live with the streak ending as long as we fight like hell to defend it.
We have to win! Look, before this season our FUN level was at an all time high. Now look at it: 2!
The off-season was weird. The shit show we're experiencing now is even weirder.
"Chafing is at an all time high"
Great. Now I can't stop thinking about how hot Amanda Peet was in that movie.
link NSFW please. like this
Do wish I would be able to go to the game this Friday to cheer on the team with a WAAAAAAGGGHHH! but Hurricane Florence and getting a new car put me on a budget for awhile.
I will still watch on TV and cheer them on.
So to begin: "T'em boiz betta get to foighten and winnen' in teh scrap" "WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!"
Former loluva coach Mike "timecop" London trying to troll David Clowney who tweeted a response to the official VT football account. This gets my gourd. Who does he think he is? Time to throw down, fellow Hokies
https://twitter.com/wisehokie/status/1065052189138264065?s=09
Love Clowneys response; "go away you wah hoo." Fricken priceless!
That's not even timecop, it is his son.
AND MY AXE
VTacajoe, I had to dv your post to get us back to the magical 25, but i made sure to leg all your comments in the thread to balance it out
EDIT: dv now removed!
now we need it back, lol.
There's some tricky fuxker here messing with us lmao
Here's to you 8300A_Hokie'12!

I want you to remember that no bastard ever won a rivalry by making excuses for his team. He won it by making the other poor, dumb bastard make excuses for his team.
Hokies, all this stuff you've heard about Tech not wanting to continue the LOLUVa streak, wanting to let the bowl streak die to "teach us a lesson," is a lot of horse dung. Hokies, traditionally, love to win. All real Hokies love the thrill of victory. When you were kids, you all admired the champion marble shooters, the fastest runners, big league ball players, the toughest boxers. Hokies love a winner and will not tolerate a loser. Hokies play to win all the time. I wouldn't give a hoot in hell for a man who lost and laughed. That's why Hokies have never lost to the hoos since 2003 and will never let the streak die, because the very thought of losing is hateful to Hokies.
Now, a fanbase is a team. It cheers, cries, tailgates, rants as a team. This individuality stuff is a bunch of crap. The bilious bastards who wrote that stuff about individuality for the Saturday Evening Post don't know anything more about real fandom than they do about fornicating.
Now, we have the finest turkey legs and practice facilities, the best spirit, and the best men in the world. You know, by God I, I actually pity those poor bastards we're going up against, by God, I do. We're not just going to beat the bastards; we're going to cut out their living guts and use them to polish Skipper. We're going to trample those lousy Hoo bastards by the bushel.
Now, some of you boys, I know, are wondering whether or not our defense will wither under the pressure. Don't worry about it. I can assure you that they will all do their duty.
The wahoos are the enemy. Wade into them. Mock their ridiculous coach. Ridicule their ineptitude in a man's sport. When you put hear the first wahoo ask how many national championships Tech has, you'll know what to do.
Now there's another thing I want you to remember: I don't want to get any messages saying that we are playing for field position. We're not holding anything. Let the Hoos try to do that. We are advancing constantly and we're not interested in holding onto anything except the enemy's QB. We're going to hold onto him by the nose and we're going to kick him in the ass. We're going to kick the hell out of him all the time and we're going to go through his O-line like crap through a goose.
Now, there's one thing that you men will be able to say when you get back home from the game on Friday. And you may thank God for it. Thirty years from now when you're sitting around your fireside with your grandson on your knee, and he asks you: "What did you do in the 2018 football season?" You won't have to say, "Well, I shoveled shit in Louisiana."
All right, now, you sons-of-bitches, you know how I feel. Oh... I will be proud to lead you wonderful guys into battle anytime, anywhere.
That's all.
I knew this was going to be a five star post the second I saw George C. Scott.
To battle we will go!!!!
P.S.: I heard their calvary isn't as tough as they think
For Pearl Harbor!
I'm pretty sure there's at least a couple of 15 yard penalties here......
Legged down to +25 for you...
Sons of Blacksburg, my brothers... I see in your eyes the same fear that would take the heart of me. A day may come when the courage of Hokies fail, when we forsake our friends and break all bonds of fellowship, but it is not this day.
...An hour of wahoos and shattered shield....when the age of Hokie comes crashing down, but it is not this day!
This day we fight!!!
By all that you hold dear on this good earth, I bid you stand, men of Lane!!!!
via GIPHY
Also legged down to 25.
Didn't want to downvote... had to get it to 25
You're not the down vote we deserved, but the down vote that we needed
Get fired up like THIS, today we rally!
Great moments... are born from great opportunity. And that's what you have here, today, boys. That's what you've earned here today. One game. If we played 'em ten times, they might win nine. But not this game. Not today. Today, we run with them. Today, we stay with them. And we shut them down because we can! Today, WE are the greatest football team in the commonwealth. You were born to be football players. Every one of you. And you were meant to be here today. This is your time. Their time is done. It's over. I'm sick and tired of hearing about what a great football team the LOLUVA have. Screw 'em. This is your time. Now go out there and take it!
A day may come when the courage of men fails, when we forsake our coaches and break all bonds of the number 25, but it is not this day. An hour of Hoos chugging Zimas, when the age of men comes crashing down! But it is not this day! This day we fight! By all that you hold dear on this good Earth, I bid you stand, men of the (South)West!
