Aw, that's heartbreaking. We lost a very special dog during the 2009 SEC Championship game. All week long, my husband had been saying, "I don't care what happens, we are NOT missing that game." Needless to say, we did, most of it, anyway. We came home from the doggy ER stunned and heartbroken, to the sight of Tim Tebow crying his eyes out on TV. We collapsed on the floor in front of the TV with our remaining dog, all three of us sobbing and howling right along with Tebow. It was awful, and we said no more pets; it hurts too much. Three weeks later, though, a sweet little beagle we called Tebow joined our family (in all fairness, he wouldn't answer to Tyrod).
From our family to yours, virtual hugs, and prayers for comfort and better days to come.

Plural?!?!? The rainbow bridge is far too busy these last few days.
If my first and forever cat, who left us March 25 2019, can welcome your pups, I'll ask him to help them along. What are their names? Do you have a pic of the goodboys/girls?

Palmetto amd Horse. Your posts really hit a nerve, thanks for your virtual hugs. Pics coming, just can't deal w that much detail online right now.
Bud's 36th shutout helped, but only temporarily. Our one remaining dog, Layla, shows the same emotions we have when we come home: It's just way too quiet at home.
God bless our Hokie family!

Much love to you, smitty. It's brutal to lose a four legged love machines like you have, my first an only was brutal enough, I can't fathom what it's like to lose more than one in such short order.
Every now and again it's nice to be able to find a distraction, maybe a bit of respite in something - like a Hokieball win - that I like but isn't nearly as important as the bit of love that I got from my little guy. It's always hard to lose one.
Do you have any others? Are you thinking about getting another sibling for the remaining family?

Horse (and Palmetto), thanks.
The dogs we lost last week, within 24 hours, are Paisley
and Woody
Our remaining dog is Layla
Paisley was 2-1/2, we lost her to a massive fast cancer (lymphoma). Woody was almost 15 and his dementia was to the point where he was hurting himself. The timing of all this is horrible. Paisley was fine one week and gone the next. Our grief is palpable. These wounds will heal, its just gonna take time.
Layla gets really spoiled now. I am hopeful my wife will want another Golden soon, but she needs to get past this first.
Happy Thanksgiving to our TKP family. Enjoy your family every day, you never know when it will be your last time. Others on these boards mention their human family member losses, and those hurt even more. God bless to all of you whom are grieving through family losses, they are especially hard near the holidays.

Wow! We have a cat we named "Teeter". Wife initially wanted to name her daisy but she was a "terrorist", hence...
They look VERY similar!!
Thanks for the kind words. I'm hoping our holiday trip helps us recover.
Awesome win tonite vs MSU!!!!! Nolley has ice in his veins n Bede is rock solid. Bring on Dayton!

Heh they're gonna be. I'll tell you the secret for mine - always have a dark blue blanket draped across your lap and a flea comb in reach. My little guy loved getting combed and snuggling up on a blue lap.

Layla seems fine.
I want to say that this thread engagement has helped me cope w my grief and for that I am very appreciative.
But, this should not be about just my family and our pets. Lots of our TKP family have dealt w similar circumstances. Unfortunately, death is part of life.
Do we need a "Pets Rememberance" thread? I'm not sure, perhaps that's a bit much, as we all have our equally/more important human family as well.
I guess I'm just trying to move on and live with the living. My wife and I are humbled by the TKP family support. Love you all.

They've got a good defense, bad offense with little run game other than their qb that seems to have found his legs recently. That won't do them any favors in the cold rain.

All my plans collapsed on me and I can't make it to the game now. This is a blessing for Hokie nation as we have not won a game I've attended since graduation in 2015.
I'm thinking this game is going to be exactly what Bud(?) described it as a 4 hour fist fight. It won't be pretty, likely low scoring but I have faith the Hokies O pulls out ahead early and keeps the game just out of reach for the Pitt D. VT 20 Pitt 10
Log in or register to post comments about the Virginia Tech Hokies
I trust our offense to eek out a 50+ rushing attempt field position battle more than Pitt's. We may see some QP cameos to get that extra beef to keep us on schedule for >4 ypc. Avoid turnovers and we win by about 10.

Cautiously optimistic. Will be watching from Lane, and I'll be cold and wet. The plan is to get to Lot 18 and crack my first beer by 9:30. Did I mention cold and wet? Because I'm going to be cold and wet.
Log in or register to post comments about the Virginia Tech Hokies
I'll be there but I'm worried about the crowd as well. I'm guessing it'll be about 75% full.
I will be very disappointed if Lane is half empty for Bud's final home game because of some rain.
If you're on the fence because you don't want to stand in the rain... bundle up, stuff a bunch of bourbon in your insulation, put on your outer shell of rain gear, and get your ass to the game.

I wish I was as confident as most of y'all. I'm sitting here looking at two 7-3 teams going head to head with coaches who have nearly identical W/L records in the ACC and I'm still scarred from mast season and Pitt happens... I'm going to be gray after this game
But still Let's Go Hokies!!

Watching from my couch (unless it's close - then I'll be standing). This is hard game to predict, especially with Maurice Ffrench's uncertain status. He's a heck of a player.

My heart's been broken too many times by pitt to feel confident.....
But my mind says we beat them soundly to set up an ACC Coastal division rivalry matchup.

Me and the fam are southbound and down, loaded up and trucking...to Florida for a week of surf fishing and Thanksgiving celebration with my Mom. I'm hopeful I'll get both games on the tube and optimistic we're going to do enough to win tomorrow (and Friday).

Kabul Afghanistan.....will watch the recording when I wake up on Sunday. More nervous for this one than I am for UVA. Pitt always plays us tough. Even when they have had horrible offenses in the past somehow they have gained traction against us. I hope Foster imprinted last years game into the defenses memory. I do however feel that we will likely come away with the win but it's gonna be a stress test for our hearts imo and can easy easily go the other way w/one bad bounce.
My in-laws lived in Loveland for about 8 years. Was there almost every thanksgiving during their tenure there. They finally moved back to Arkansas when we had our 2nd child......fun place to visit with the surrounding areas (breweries, Denver, Estes park, etc).....but I will never miss the 12 hour drive having to go through Kansas. Flattest and straightest roads ever.......just miserable.

One of my exes was from Wyoming (and she ended up going to VT for Grad School) always said that when her dad drove to help her move, he always started in the middle of the night so he wouldn't have to look at Nebraska on the drive, so I'm sure it's similar to Kansas.

Feeling good like an old school tech game from the mid 90's...gonna be a slugfest but I like us 23-17 with a special teams or defensive touchdown....let's go!!!!!!!!!!!

In Orlando for conference and extended for a few days with Fam. Epcot tomorrow, will leave them at the park and head over to ESPN Club to watch the fame. Anybody watched a game there before? I hope it'll work out. I agree with most, expecting an alley fight, but I have to say I love this team's toughness. Should be a good one.

My mind is cautious. My heart is like James Holzhauer, that Jeopardy contestant that was continually "all in."
I believe the team is more than capable of beating pitt but I am not yet sure of how mentally / emotionally tough the good guys are. I am hoping that we score early and get up by more than one touchdown. If that happens, I think it could turn into a blowout win for Tech.
I'll be watching from home (Winchester, VA), but you may still hear me in Lane. My wife has a hard time believing her soft spoken husband can yell so loudly at football games, so yes you may hear me from Winchester while you are in Lane.

Will be indoors conducting spatial analysis on a computer way too old for the job. On the side... cheering for the Hokies on the TV. My computer is slow enough between each analysis that I won't miss much of the game. Regarding the game I am feeling pretty confident. Almost too confident. Hokies by 90!!!

Big Island - game starts at 10:30 in the morning - hopeful, but expecting a Marshall-in-the-rain type game where maybe we're not so lucky. Not sure VT can run enough on these guys. If we win, I'm putting a nail in the coffin of the dcwilson narrative that I was finally convinced was true after the Duke debacle and I'm back on the fifthfuller 15-0 train in 2020!

Feeling good. I've already given my two boys, ages 7 and 4 their pep talk. (during their bedtime tuck-in). I walked them through what the team and players will be doing to get their heads right...and how we need to come out swinging. Hit first, hit hard, and keep coming back. Super excited, will be the first game all season that we don't have a conflict—and can watch a complete game as it unfolds 1000 miles away.

Watching from Section 13 row T, screaming my butt off. Feeling okay about the game. Pitt is not great on offense. I feel like the guys want to send Bud out right. I'm also a mixture of happy and sad. Happy because it's football. Sad because it's the last home game. But happy not to have to drive to all of the games. Sad because it's the end of the season.

Did you experience any buffering on YouTube TV this weekend? Mine was bad all weekend long. All my other streaming services (Netflix, Amazon Prime) worked perfect and my internet speed was fine, but YouTube TV was awful this weekend. I've had YouTube TV for 3 months now and this weekend was the first time I experienced any problems.

A little. More during the OSU/PSU game than the Hokie game, IIRC. It hasn't been bad, though sometimes the video will fail to load and and I have to recast. I have a first generation chromecast so I have always blamed it on that, though it generally works well enough that I don't need to complain. On a positive note, if it does need to buffer at all, it picks up right where it left off instead of buffering and skipping over any game time.

Can't fly in due to the weather after the game (icing level at 5-6k) so currently on the road driving from Norfolk. Driving up this morning, drive back tonight.
I've got a pit in my stomach (pun intended) and hope it's just past performances influencing current predictions. I can't shake the combination of a big game, shitty weather, and a possibly low student attendance due to T-break.
But fuck Nar-douche. 17-10 Hokies.

Hitting the hay for an early morning hunt then back home to work on a remodel and watch the game.
Looking forward to another revenge game
Damn! Thats ambitious. Go hokies!!
Feeling good about our Hokies!
Victory!!
Edit: watching from home, weve had a bad "dogs to heaven" (plural) week.

I'm sorry for your losses. That's quite the emotional pain all at once. I'm glad you're spoiling Layla, she will need it to help cope as well.
That's freaking awful. What a terrible week, and that's putting it lightly. Sorry you guys had to go through that in such a short time span.
What an adorable brood! How is Layla doing without her siblings? Here was my little guy, Prometheus:
He was born July 23, 2004 and was laid to rest on March 25, 2019. I just realized this week that he never saw LOLUVA beat VT, which is nice.
Wow! We have a cat we named "Teeter". Wife initially wanted to name her daisy but she was a "terrorist", hence...

Dammit man, sorry to hear this. I can't imagine. I was torn up a couple years ago when I lost my dog. They really are a best friend.
I'm still thinking 34-14, the good guys.
They've got a good defense, bad offense with little run game other than their qb that seems to have found his legs recently. That won't do them any favors in the cold rain.

No analysis needed FUCK CRY BABY PAT NARWHINY
Feel good about the game, but how many are going to be in the stands? Is weather chasing people away? Tickets on secondary market are super cheap!
I'll be there but I'm worried about the crowd as well. I'm guessing it'll be about 75% full.
I will be very disappointed if Lane is half empty for Bud's final home game because of some rain.

I think we throttle them for Buds last home game.
Well done.
Concerned because Pitt plays us tough regardless
Hulu live
Need to come out of the gates and get ahead.
How do you like Hulu's UI?
I absolutely HATE it now. Killing it soon as football season is over.
It's all I got for now so I just have to deal. 🙁
Its miserably bad for trying to hop channels sometimes I click on a show and it'll put me at the beginning of a broadcast and I cant just jump to live on the visio app
This. This is sooooooo frustrating. Can't stand it.
Worried. I will be driving to dining with the wife so I wont see the game until Sunday.
At the airport now and will be watching from Tampa. I never feel good when other people feel good because hostory has taught me Hokies cannot play as the favorite.
Watching from my couch (unless it's close - then I'll be standing). This is hard game to predict, especially with Maurice Ffrench's uncertain status. He's a heck of a player.
Always hate this game...pitt plays us tough. We win 4-3 in an ugly game (yes I'm serious)...wearing my Mike Imoh jersey tomorrow for luck
Leg for 4-3. You, sir, are mental.
My heart's been broken too many times by pitt to feel confident.....
But my mind says we beat them soundly to set up an ACC Coastal division rivalry matchup.
Dont be surprised if we get the benefit of the zebras in this one.
Same
Me and the fam are southbound and down, loaded up and trucking...to Florida for a week of surf fishing and Thanksgiving celebration with my Mom. I'm hopeful I'll get both games on the tube and optimistic we're going to do enough to win tomorrow (and Friday).
Will be cold and wet. 49-0. Wont be any hokie fans chanting "let them score" this game.
Kabul Afghanistan.....will watch the recording when I wake up on Sunday. More nervous for this one than I am for UVA. Pitt always plays us tough.

Watching Wyoming and Colorado St. struggle. Hoping the rain holds of until post game. Preparing to force a false start from the East stands tomorrow
Fixed it for you
You were right. 2 false starts and an offsides at least
Laid my grandpa to rest today. Went by his place to sorta start sorting thru things. I'm ready to get shit behind me tomorrow with friends and some football. Let's go.
Sorry for your loss man. Hopefully the game will be a good distraction for you.

How you gonna give the kids a pep talk about Hokieball right before bed?
That's a recipe for having a four year old burst through the door at midnight, screaming and flexing, asking for a gwass of water.

We're usually in Section 13, row AAA. Hope u stayed warm!

I'm going to be there.
And I'm expecting a win. And I'm expecting some salt.
Heading out to tailgate in a bit. Each week, more evidence builds that this team is certifiably 1045 AD.
Expecting rain, a win & false starts.
Can't fly in due to the weather after the game (icing level at 5-6k) so currently on the road driving from Norfolk. Driving up this morning, drive back tonight.
I've got a pit in my stomach (pun intended) and hope it's just past performances influencing current predictions. I can't shake the combination of a big game, shitty weather, and a possibly low student attendance due to T-break.
But fuck Nar-douche. 17-10 Hokies.
Hopefully you took the 460 route. I stuck to that my entire time while at VT whenever I had to travel back home to Hampton Roads or return to school. I hate 64...
64 to Richmond then 460 from there. Not a bad drive, just long.
Win or lose, this sentiment shall always remain:
Pat Narduzzi anagrams to Eat Shit Pitt.
I'll be watching from section 1 of the East stands, trying futilely to stay dry. I have a feeling this game will be reminiscent of the BC game when i was still in school, but I'm hoping for a different result this time. Go Hokies!
P-a-t N-a-r-d-u-z-z-i...
A LOT of tickets going up for sale. Really worried we're gonna see a half empty stadium for bud's last home game & a big game against Pitt
$10 on stubhub, not sure I've seen them that low before for a big conference game.
I almost decided to drive from Nashville for this game, but I honestly decided against it because of the weather. Judge me if you will.
But man, those prices. Something something....supply and demand....
I'm nervous because this is the second Saturday I've had off since Duke...can you guess the other one?
The difference is I expect to be watching at least part of the game from a hotel.
Woke up this morning with a baaaad feeling. I hope I'm wrong.
That was gas. Were good!!
FAM
