What a beautiful way to start a Monday
Oh yes, what a sweet Monday morning.
"WHY ARE WE ALL RUNNING AND SCREAMING?!?"
"I DON'T KNOW!!!"
Thank Sweet Baby Jesus. I love that Willis didn't just knock #5 out of bounds...he TACKLED him!
via GIPHY
It was a nice damn tackle at that. Wrapped him up and took him to the ground.
if the DB cuts back inside or laterals on that play...so many things went right in a season filled with wrongs!
I only wish that Big Play Tre would have been able to recover that blocked punt for the TD.
As do I. Great block and almost had it for the score. He has to wear 25 this week, right? RIGHT?
and it was on the UVA possession right after his crazy TD catch
inject this in my veinslet it trickle down meI can't get enough of Dalton Keene. The buzz about him was good when he first got on campus but he continues to impress me game after game. From the stands/couch he looks to have the Lunch Pail mentality, that has been alluding the team at times this season.
It feels like he's going to end up a Sam Rogers type of demigod around here.
I could see a weekly episode:
Gettin' Pumped
with Dax
Every week is just Dax screaming at the camera: Let's kick their asses! with a montage of sacks/tackles/jumping up and down getting the crowd pumped.
Let the dork magic continue.
I imagine it'd be something like this
That feeling when you open up TKP and see LOLUVA GIFTORY!
To this day, this is my favorite VT/UVA memory.
I was sitting in the south end zone when Mike London didn't call timeout and let the clock run down for us to kick a last second game winner right in front of me a few years ago. That one is up there for me.
I was texting with a buddy from high school who went to UVA.
He was apoplectic, and understandably so.
Mike London just waived the white flag
Bud can celebrate with the best of them. Because he is the best of them.
Billy Hite looks like he's thinking about a chest-bump, but thinks better of it just in time.
In time to avoid this...
I will never so long as I live understand how 28 didn't wind up with that ball in the end zone.
28 is also the guy Keane bulldozed on the td. Bad day for 28. Edit--just read MaroonX2 was ahead of me.
That Keene block is one of my favorite plays of the game.
He's following the trajectory inches away from falling on the ball and it suddenly shoots 90 degrees to the side. It looks like the ghosts of Hokies passed were out there pushing the ball to the good guys ala Angels in the Outfield.
Hunter Carpenter smiling down at us and delivering another punch to LOLUVA from the beyond
I was thinking about adding a picture of him into the gif but then I remembered that I don't know how to gif, so everyone just pretend I did it and let's all agree it's awesome.
A Hunter Carpenter reference is an automatic leg.
I can only imagine what was going through Hewitt's (45?) mind on that fumble recovery. It was right there in his lap and it bounced away, thankfully, into Belmar's loving arms, but for a split second I'm sure he was screaming internally.
For once I'm glad our d-line was blocked to the ground...the ball just found a way to one of them!
Garbutt was being choke-slammed on that blitz. No holding call.
Belmar deserved that football. He played far and away his best game this season.
he sure was and yet another hold that went uncalled, alas we didn't need it!
I believe that is Garbutt
As discussed in another thread, you can see in Giftory that he was held big time. If he hadn't been, I think he'd of had it.
Not only was #28 the one who was unable to recover the fumble, he was the one Dalton pancaked on the run and sat there in disbelief after both. Inject it into my veins.
Can I get some guesses on what that girl is shouting?
"You're playing like a bunch of pussies," I think.
I concur.... however the only way to know for sure is to find her and get the answer directly!
at least we denied them a fifth pussy touchdown!
"You're playing like a bunch of pussies!"
my guess is "You're playing like a bunch of pussies!"
I don't think there's enough in there for "you're playing like."
It's more like a "blank" (two syllables) bunch of pu$$ies.
maybe just "you play like" instead of "you're playing like?"
That might be the ticket.
Yep, this is it.
Still looks like 'you're playing like'
but playing is 'playin' and it blends right into 'like'.
So more like "you're playnlike a bunch of pussies!"
High probability of alcohol induced slurring.
I believe it's "you're worse than a bunch of pussies"
come on that's a buncha bullsh!t
I'm definitely getting "bullshit" rather than "pussies"
"Dad ate my leftover turkey sandwich!"
My guess: "There is nothing sexier than French's food takes. It may pain him to agree, however the gentleman to my right concurs!"
What she doesn't realize is that the gentleman on her right is trying his best not to vomit thinking about French's food takes.
I like to think the girl on the left is a hokie fan because I know I was shocked/laughing my ass off when we scored this TD, too.
Or maybe just a Hoo with a sense of humor. There has to be one.
.
I think she gotta be. Look at how she handles herself:
1) Head down, all wrapped up, thinks no one can see her smiling.
2) Scratching her head a little - hitting that spot on her brain where she's asking herself how to hide her utter delight
3) Composes herself a little, waves her hand over her chest to swipe away the joy in her heart so that her friends don't notice it too much
4) Flicks her hair out of the way and pulls herself together, only to lean back a bit and show a broad, enlightened smile as if to say, 'Ain't no thing. I knew it all along.'
100% Get you a girl that can do all that.
Like this one?
Dang, maybe it's neighbelline
Hoos getting Dax'd. They better get used to it.
I think Dax has been taking private lessons from Luther Maddy
Look at that form, full extension, textbook.
I said straight to bed, Smoke! No dinner!
And Andrew Motuapuaka to Andrew Brown last year. (13 second mark)
The best part of this clip is when Brown tries to tackle McClease again, but DeShawn is having absolutely none of it.
Indeed he has.
Mihota appearance in 2015
Dax is a honey badger. Honey badger don't give a f#ck
Please stay out of trouble unlike the original Honey badger.
Dalton Keene, you are an animal! That block, though. Reminded me of this play.....
Double Block
100% thought you were going with this.
It's ashame the Van Dyke Brothers had to call football quits due to nagging injuries. RVD has been a beast in NCAA '14.
Man those two went through a LOT. Ronny lost a year to shoulder surgery; Devin lost three years to surgeries on both knees and his shoulder. Devin keeping his head up and overcoming his injuries to play for Hampton as a grad transfer is one of the more inspiring things I've seen any of my acquaintances achieve, and he totally deserved it for the work he put it and for being a super genuine guy in all the times I interacted with him.
Three years later, HU's Devin Vandyke is back in the games
He had a really good spring game and then injuries derailed things.
I love the head up, face mask asswoppin Ashby delivered on Perkins during the fumble. that was textbook high school taught tacklin. His head snappin back on the turf was just added bonus. lovely...My LOLUVA brother was so distraught - it was glorious.
I think Perkins might have been able to fight for the fumble had Ashby not been there to give him that thump.
The 8 ball was above max speed heading to the 50 yard line. That #25 has some magic powers.
From WAHOOS247:
"Probably one of the worst moments of my life was seeing that ball hit the floor. I really thought this was going to be it but instead I left Lane Stadium crying (as I have done numerous times on this godforsaken streak). I just don't think we will ever get over this bad luck that always seems to follow us.
To make matters worse, I ended up in a fight in the car parking lot when some loser Chokie fan started making fun of me for being a UVA fan and pointing at my hairline.
I really don't know if I can handle any more of these games, they take 3 years off my life every single season.
I am dejected."
That made me smile
I want to bottle this comment up and drink it every gameday.
Got into a fight because someone made fun of his hair, and made fun of the fact he was a Hoo?
And here, I thought it was a little warm for snowflakes over the weekend
this has to be a troll
yep, might be
If I had more time, and gave a shit I would create an account at The Sword to troll UVA fans. But seems like a lot of work to watch all their games and provide insight into the games just to troll for the VT game.
makes it so much sweeter. the post stinks of loser, douchey LOLUVA blood.
Inject it in my veins
This has been me since Friday night!
That's a long time to spend at the bowling alley.....
BITCHED!
Wasn't during the game but I thought the moment when Fuente was reunited with his family after the game with Enter Sandman in the background was special.
Awesome. Family knows what's up too.
I would really like for UVA to do an "Adventures of Cavman" episode for this game..... pretty please.
wow, the fact that the photo cuts off where it does makes for suggestive hand placement for the ref.
What catches my eye is just how stupid their Cavman mascot looks all the time. What a stupid face.
I'm a little confused on the game tying TD. I thought that if an offensive player fumbled the ball across the goal line, it was a touchback for the defense. So why was that a TD? Was it because a defender touched it in the end zone, or does that rule only apply if the ball rolls out of bounds before anyone recovers it? Or am I just crazy and the rule I'm thinking of doesn't exist?
the defense has to recover or it has to roll out of bounds for it to be the defense's ball at the 20. If it is recovered by the offense, it is a TD
Exceptions:
- NCAA: if it is 4th down or a PAT, only the fumbling player may recover to advance the ball for the offense. If it is recovered by the offense past the spot of the fumble, it is spotted back where the fumble took place.
- NFL: same as above + within 2 minutes of the half, only the fumbling player may recover to advance the ball for the offense. If it is recovered by the offense past the spot of the fumble, it is spotted back where the fumble took place.
Me after that fumble TD.
