LET'S GO!!!!
HOKIES!!
LETS GO...HOKIES!
Im too sleepy for this too start at noon😢
Go Hokies!
WRs, please no penalties for peeing like a dog after one of your many TDs. Pls
I hope VT shows up today. We can't underestimate UVa this week. They're still potent enough to win. Perkins is elusive and Reed's a serious athlete.
VT, on the other hand, has been getting better every week. Should be a good one.
If we get a regular and serious pass-run, we can negate Reed as a threat.
It'll be hard for them to score if they never have the ball!!
It's time to show the team's love for Bud, and stuff Perkins all game long. We will miss him greatly!
I'm feeling very good about today. I think we roll them & it's not really close
So ready for this!!
LETS GO!!!!!
HOKIES!!!
Man I'm pretty fucked up. Can't lie. Haven't drank in forever, but had a bunch of wine for the holiday. Woke up still drunk. ... Ugh.
My head started hurting just reading that. Wine hangovers might be one of the worst things ever.
I don't miss this feeling at all.
Anyhow. Let's kick some Hoo ass today. I may or may not make it to game time.
I just look at this as another chance for vengeance.
It should never be forgiven that they besmirched the midfield logo of Lane North after a gracious anonymous donor quietly fixed their ignorance.
My stomach had been in knots the last couple days thinking abiut this game. Really want us to play well and kick some Hoo ass. As comes with being a VT fan I am worried about which team will show up.
Got my chipotle short ribs in the oven.
Got my beer in the fridge.
Got my jersey on.
LET'S GO HOKIES
Lets get one more for Bud!
For anyone who's already there tailgating, how are the lots looking? Hope to see a lot of Hokie fans in the stands (unfortunately can't make it today so watching from home)
On Wednesday night, I watched the 2000 LOLUVA-VT game. I had no idea Michael Vick's ankle was still in such terrible shape. He had to come out of the game at one point and Dave Meyer came in. Antwoine Womack was killing us on the ground in the 1st half. But Lee Suggs was a beast, Michael was out there throwing bullets and hopping around on one ankle, and Bud's Lunchpail D (was it considered the Lunchpail D back then?) started getting after it.
I'm ready for today's game!
Gobble Gobble Bitches. Let's Gooo
HOKIES!!!!
HOKIES!!!!
I gots the butterflies.
Going radio silent at noon. Got a friend driving in from out of town and we were gonna go watch the game at a bar until we realized it was a gorram nooner. Watching on delay instead if my willpower holds up.
See you on the other side
FML
Pancakes and football
The source is dubious but it is inspiring. Came from a Hokie FB page. Let's Go!
Let's go baby
I don't believe this is real for a second but I want to so bad
I think this needs to remain at 25 legs
I am confident. And that makes me nervous.
I'm weirdly the same. There's no other way to put it.
ah yes, the feelings of an experienced Hokie fan. Same here.
I am not, so we balance out
This articulates my feelings much better than I have been able to.
I hope our team plays mad. Mad about how stupid uva was with selling tickets to Hokie fans by making a donation be made to their athletic department, mad about how uva is favored by some still, mad that it's Buds last uva game, mad that they have 3 losses when they should have none, and mad that the season is almost over. I hope they take it to this team who has obsessed since the beginning of last season about beating them. I want this to be uglier than the ga tech and pitt games!!! I hope they play like a team that has been nothing but disrespected by the CFP committee, espn, ap/coaches poll, and continually disrespected by the top recruits in the state. I'd love to somehow upset clemson and then psu in the Orange Bowl where so many 4 and 5 star Va kids decide to go when they "big tyme" Virginia Tech.
I think the this game should be on the revenge tour because we had no business winning last year.
Told the wifey I am leaving this mall in 11 minutes with or without her, gonna have some leftovers and watch some ball soon
Did the wife make it in the car? Or is she ubering?
How comfy is the couch my man
I made a Thanksgiving moist maker sandwich.
2 toasted pieces of bread, turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing, cranberry sauce, and in the middle of it all...a piece of bread soaked in gravy. A layered beauty.
Fucking chef kiss
Wish I was there to celebrate the win today with all my fellow Hokies at our second home. Be loud & proud for all of us watching at home!
Going to be imperative we come out and bust them in the mouth early. Break that spirit and plant that "here we go again" seed early and often
I want both 25s to have a TD today!
Why not 25 touchdowns from each?
Their starting FS is out today. Our receivers are going to dominate this depleted secondary
I can't get the local channels on Youtube TV since i'm using a vpn and in afg. It will still record it and I can watch it in the morning though. I hope we stomp a mud hole in them. I was more nervous for the Pitt game and not really concerned about this one coming in. But as the hour approaches i'm getting nervous. We've been playing so well lately. Don't let us down boys. Burn that mother down. I'll catch you guys on the flip side.
How are y'all enjoying the View pregame show
Been watching basketball but switching over now. Hopefully the last minute isn't too bad.
It felt like a very safe place.
College Gameday on Fridays sure is different.
Dear uva:
Screw you....screw you with a cactus 🌵 !!
Hate that this game has to start. Wa really enjoying the view.
Is this strange?
We've beaten this team for 15 YEARS!!......there isn't another team that we've beaten that consistently.
They're not in our class......
Yet.....I want this just as badly as the first.
Go Hokies!
This event has not yet started. Damn you ESPN app
"A new chapter begins today." Yeah, right. It is called Chapter 16; GO HOKIES!
Since when did UVA try to start jumping for their entrance?
I was thinking the same thing. Are they jumping for us? Weird.
START JUMPING
I just adjusted my new antenna so I can get ABC! I'm ready!!!
*WHAT YEAR IS IT*.gif
The year where cable TV subscriptions are $$$ and internet subscriptions like YTTV are $$
HAHAHAHAHA!
WEAK ASS WAHOOS TRYING TO JUMP. NOT EVEN 20 PERCENT EFFECTIVE. FUCK YOU PANSIES!
Let's fuckin do this shit.
Here we go
No Caleb Farley?
How tf do we not have a spy on 3rd & long..?
Everyone should have known that was coming
Chamarri Conner getting started early today, I see.
Love it.
Not sure why we didn't see that 3rd down QB run coming.
Who the hell is spying Perkins?
looks like nobody
Hey. Maybe we should have a fucking spy on 3rd & long?!? What the hell are y'all doing
Our DT's are getting washed out of their gaps
What is Bud doing? UVAs offense can only do one thing, and they've done it twice in third now
Not Bud, central defenders, mainly DT's getting way the fuck out of their gaps
Who is responsible for Perkins?
Apparently their offensive plan is to get in 3rd and long on purpose, then have Perkins scramble
Hey Bud, they have a Mobile QB....in case you forgot.
Perkins fuckin torched the D
Hey bud wake the fuck up
Perkins is their entire offense. Gotta stop him.
Perkins is literally the only player the have on their offense.
Yup... provided we can put a spy on him and actually stop a 3rd down we're going to be fine.
Infuriating drive. They have one thing working and we are just letting it work.
I guess the mobile QB is going to be a thing today. Sheesh.
Christ, you know their entire offense is Perkins running the ball and you let them gash you the entire Drive.
Wow Perkins just ripped us. Get it together defense. That was downright pathetic
uhhh . . .?! Was our defense told about Perkins?
Fuk
What was Deablo doing on that TD run? Didn't look like he even tried to tackle Perkins
Why the hell do we not have Tisdale playing spy? He's literally their only option on offense
Tisdale spy all game please. they have no offense otherwise.
We will adjust for that, but that was fucking awful. Flashbacks of our LB's getting caught in the wash and our safeties overplaying with bad angles.
what in the fuck
Damn the comments turned against the defense and Bud fast. If you didn't think Perkins was going to score and scramble out of problems today you haven't read French's reviews or paid attention to LOLUVA football this year.
Agreed, I just wish it wasn't the first series
Usually if you score early easily on Bud, he shuts you down thereafter.
I didn't think he'd do it so easily
I think we expected it at some point. However, to put up no resistance to their only serious offensive threat on the first drive is pretty worrisome.
We have paid attention. On that drive the defense looks like the ones that didn't.
That was way too easy
Yeah but they had a spy on Perkins for two plays and he ran right by them. Very poor open field tackling. The guy is elusive. I am not sure a single spy can do it. May need to bring pressure more often
Perkins didn't scramble out of trouble there, he simply owned us on designed runs... thats the problem
Come on Bud!
Dax needs to secure the middle from Perkins.
Hewitt might as well taken a nap on all three plays
Do we have a John Lynch type of guy on the sideline? May be the only way to stop Perkins.
Um....neutral zone infraction and a face mask?
So anybody not named Perkins has 5 yards of offense.... so that might be a clue...
Y'all. It's fine. The only streak UVA is breaking today is the shut out streak. We got this
Was that a facemask?
How do you not see that Blitz? Looks like a coordinators are asleep to start this one
Yeah I was shocked no one picked up that obvious blitz. That play was just shot from the get go.
It was Nester who was pulling that was supposed to get him....but was too slow
3 and out. so so play calling so far.
What a predictable 3rd down call. Fuck you corny
"Hendon Hooker, maybe not as big and strong as powerful as Bryce Perkins..."
Perkins - 6'3", 210
Hooker - 6'4", 228
I can't watch the game and this is unreal.
Well good to see Corny is still calling good plays on 3rd and short. I love his game plan for attacking those situations. Superb tactics!
/ssssssssssss
There was a face mask on that sack....just saying
Ugh. Get your shit together ESPN.
Not a great start, but a lot of game to play.
Looks like Hooker would have had it had he run to the outside. Oh well; need some defense now.
So is Corny just going to see if he can out-QB run uva?
That 1st down play was way too fucking cute for my liking, but it is what it is.
Put a spy on perkins please
So, we'll see if the poor 3rd down play the last 6 weeks (worst in the country) are circumstances or inability to convert. We're 0-for-1.
Let's see is Bud gives Perkins the space he gave him last series
It's my birthday today and all I want is for LOLUVA to get punished... come on guys
Where is Farley
I'm saying? anyone know anything?
they call that PI and not the shot to Hooker's head?
Soft PI
Sooo where the hell is Farley?
We need to force a punt.
This is not the focused, confident team from the past few weeks.
Better snap out of this quick.
That's an awful PI call
Ok, a good hit on Perkins and pick
Well fuck
Hell yeah and with a nice "hello" to Perkins
I see this crew is good at showing the penalties just like last week.
I want to see the penalty. Really not necessary whoever it was
Agree. I get the sense it was bullshit.
It was legit, saw it real time
Hazelton will light it up!
These announcers are no good. Pro UVA and you can tell not really knowledgeable about either team
We should expect better from an ABC broadcast.
Refs are obviously gonna be trigger-happy today.
Announcers question that holding but no the earlier PI on VT?
How the fucknuts is that not a PI call?????
Hate that play call. Their secondary is awful throw it up in the endzone
Too slow on 3rd down
Haze's guy got off his block but honestly really fucking annoying play call
Oh look a jet sweep. Dammit Corn.
Come on Tech! You're doing the opposite of what French said to do. No east-west stuff and let's throw the rock around!
Hire French!
I'm surprised that weve been running up the gut so much. They seem ready for that.
Cornys 3rd down playcalling is just not good
Im trying to warm up to cornelsen and then he draws plays like these
uva: good against the run, bad against the pass
Corny: run the ball three times from the 10
Would've been happier with a fade attempt over a jet sweep
0-for-2 on 3rd down
Is hooked ready to be a pass first qb? Cuz it's looking like that's what we are gonna need
We gotta do better on 3rd down offensively
lol @ Hoo slipping in the mud on the hill
That UVA guy in the mud is going to make some kind of a great .gif after we beat them today.
These announcers are definitely pro-UVA
Big time
Hey, any of you guys hear of this guy named Bryce Perkins? The announcers keep saying his name...
They should if he keeps burning this D
jesus christ
what the fuck were the DBs doing there?
What is our defense doing
What. The. Fuck.
The one thing they have and it's fucking killing us
fuck
HOW THE FUCK DO WE NOT HAVE A DEFENDER ON FUCKING PERKINS. THEY CALL THE SAME FUCKING PLAY EVERY THIRD DOWN
"ACCELERANT"
Note to defense: I think we see a pattern here
Fucking hell. That's the ONLY thing working for them.
The way we are playing that's all they need. Defense needs to sell out on Perkins and make him pass the ball. So far their passing has been poor
Jesus perkins is cutting us up...
I think it's safe to say we need to make some defensive adjustments.
Oh gee, once again the only offensive player to focus on is killing us on obvious plays.
They literally have ONE play
Hey Bud, let's coach up those linebackers
Tisdale was in there too
Ugh, unfortunate for Bud that his last game is against his kryptonite. This is going to be a long day.
UVA came to play today, no question about it.
Ugh, unfortunate for Bud that his last game is against his kryptonite. This is going to be a long day.
UVAPerkins came to play today, no question about it.FIFY
Their defense is holding their own so far.
I don't think we can say UVA is buds kryptonite
I was taking about a mobile QB.
this is fucking pathetic
Miami pretty much shut this guy down and we're making him look like Lamar Jackson
I have a bad feeling about this
Alright now. Need to get our shit together. Can't let the one-man show run all over you all afternoon.
The 2018 defense is back
3rd and Perkins seems to be something we have no defense for
HOW MANY TIMES ARE WE GOING TO CONTINUE TO ALLOW THIS?!?? Someone please check and see if Bud Foster has a pulse
This is making me literally sick to my stomach.
Freakin Christ. If we get single handily beat by Perkins, all the goodwill from the last few weeks is gone
One player, they have one player on their entire fucking team.
I just do not understand what Bud and crew think they are doing out there. We literally have to watch Perkins each and every play. He is running all the way down the field untouched.
Looked like two LB's ran into each other
So much for Braxton giving us good practice simulation
I thought this would be Bud's magnum opus and we're losing to ONE FUCKING GUY!!!
We better have an offense today.
Well we thought the Gashings on defense were over. Nope.
Current thoughts about Perkins
Take some redshirt LB thats hasnt played 4 games and have him chop Perkins one good time. Game over.
Yea I'm not onboard with being that type of fan base.
No.
Honestly breaking the streak in buds final rival game would erase everything we've built up the past few months
MAKE.ADJUSTMENTS
No it wouldn't don't be dumb
Breaking the streak on buds final game vs uva and missing the ACCCF totally would.
No it wouldn't (edit I'm not the one downvoting, you're just wrong)
I agree. Lose this game and the season will be considered a failure to the average fan
What a stupid post. One game doesn't erase 15 years. Be better
He didn't say it erases 15 years.
He said it really sours the good feelings this team has brought the last 6-7 weeks.
Which is true
No, he didn't. He said it "erases everything we've built" over that timespan.
Yeah he said "past few months"
Maybe it's just me but there's a huge difference between "souring the vibes" and "erasing everything we've built"
The players are going to undevelop and regress?????? We're gonna bench hooker for a statue???? Please
Yes it would. I can't believe we're having this conversation. Who cares if we won 7 out of 8 the past few months if we lost to fucking UVA and breaking a 15 year streak.
Nobody is going to care about this season 5-10 years down the line. All they'll remember is the uva loss.
When did I say it erases the past 15 years? I said it erases the progress we made the past few MONTHS. as in, this season. Read better.
Hooker has to hit those when we get them open
We need to NOT try only for the big play bombs.
I didn't suggest that. But when we gave three guys open he has to hit it.
Hooker needs to look for receivers, and then choose a hole to run through. And RUN!!
We do not look good
Need a TD here very badly
So over the jet sweeps
Feels like we're down 30 instead of 10
I don't like the playcalling much at all so far. Too many slow developing deep passing plays and east-west sweeps aren't going to get it done, this defense is too quick laterally. Where are the quick-hitting passes? Their secondary is depleted and we aren't testing them.
I've been nervous that our passing offense with Hooker isn't built to take advantage of a bad secondary. It's so misdirection and "set up" based. We've never run a traditional passing game with Hooker so far.
Hooker has looked good standing in the pocket and delivering the ball so far.
mr. foster i don't feel so good
The last defensive play call was a good one. Connor missed his spot and so Perkins had a huge hole. Not on Bud there.
If you knew the reference you'd know im not blaming bud
Here's something I propose.
Remember when we last played in the ACCCG, and Clemson's ENTIRE defensive line spied Jerod Evans for a few plays and forced him to pass?
That was the play where he hit Bucky for a big one right
This has got to be the worst espn broadcast ever
I see you didn't watch last week.
Sad to say, they are all like this that get assigned to Tech games
A loss to UVA in football is a failure condition for the entire season
How is that not blown dead for forward momentum?
Welp...
This is a nightmare
I have a feeling this just isn't our day.
Football gods are not with us today
This team has no composure at all right now. Damn embarrassing.
Damn it Deablo what the hell was that
On replay, the LOLUVa player had his face mask and kept running until he got to the wall. Should not have been a penalty on Deablo.
Don't think it would have been without Deablo pushing him at the end
Worst part was that it was obvious on tv and the announcers never once mentioned it.
That wasn't all on Deablo, the receiver was holding on to his facemask
they want it more and we were over confident
1-for-4 on 3rd downs.
These guys didn't even make the trip up
Isn't a 10 yard drag by the face mask a penalty.....not in the ACC
We're getting fucking punked like we've punked then for 15 years. It's evident who wants to win this game
Well... idk guys...is this the year the streak ends? They are cutting us up with precision
Defense gave up 142 yards in first quarter. That has to change.
We better have a huge turnaround in this game, b/c we are on the verge of getting blown out. We are better than this one-dimensional UVA team.
Offense has been sluggish
Not like this
I know ABC has to go with the story of who's winning, but goddamn they're gonna suffocate if they don't come up for air every now and then.
Way too much platitude and drama talk and not enough descriptive talk on what's happening on the field.
perkins is going to run. Please, defense; stop him.
That was a good stop by the D!
Defense finally held. Now can Corny get his head out of his ass & call a good series?
And not just Corn. Offense is not playing well. UVA is sliding off blocks at will. Hooker missed an open TD downfield. UVA defense has been stronger and faster and that needs to change.
Anyone know whats up with Farley?
TV crew said back spasms
Back spasms
Back spasms
Norm wood tweeted back spasms
Back spasms
Here we go offense... we need this TD bad
So will players "execute" the playbook this series?
The plays are taking too long to develop.
I think we just answered that: no
1st play: Defebder in Hookers face in 2 secs
2nd play: Hooker hit as he went through progression
3rd Play: Good throw, penalty
everything has swung uva's way until then and usually has gone our way in the past. don't feel good but maybe we'll get a turn here.
Hooker, come on man
Farley out is huge; give him a fucking IV and send him back on
Hooker looks a little off today throwing the ball
Protection has been good. HH is slow to read the secondary
Just can't get anything going.
Agreed. Moving through progressions way too slowly. And too many slow developing passing plays. Need some quick hitters to get him in rhythm. Corny just has little feel for a game. It's like every play has to be a dagger.
We fucking suck.
R-E-L-A-X
It's a fool's errand. He's one of the more toxic game thread commenters
Game threads are for expressing emotion. Good & bad. I know I get angry sometimes but this is a place I can express it. Sorry
Don't apologise, this isn't his echo chamber. You do you.
You are 100% correct! Leg
To be clear I don't expect you to stop -- just warning others not to expect it too
To say they shouldn't expect me to stop is one thing but to call me toxic is a little ridiculous. It's not like I'm going after players or people in the thread, I'm reacting in the moment to the game
Negative? Pessimistic? Bitter? idk your comment came across way more aggressive than defeatest
Ya man, people like to pick things out and argue. Keep having an opinion please. Otherwise things are bland.
1-for-5 on 3rd down.
Yup. This game so far is on the offense. The defense has given up some huge plays. But offense looks dead.
We look so unprepared. How are we playing this poorly?!
Corny struggling with the OLBs today
Yeah the 50 D will kill the jet sweep all game
Hooker has had wide open receivers and time. Corny can't throw the ball for him. Or make Tre hold onto the ball. Come on.
Cornelson is calling a bum game. Jet sweep are too slow when we're on the goal line and only need 4 yards. Every pass play is taking way too long to develop. QB draw on 3rd and long.
Just give me some quick hitting slants and out routes and get back to trying to establish the inside run. We're being too cute
We have 33 yards rushing and only 2.8 yards per carry. Not good
No positive yardage on 1st downs leaving us in a lot of 3rd longs.
THIS^^^^ Run on first down
10 point game with 41 minutes left and you'd think we just lost to go 0-12 based on these comments. I'm loggin out for the game
Stick around bro
It's more how it looks. We're not really getting anything going on offense. Settling for the field goal stung
Well stated. To be honest, as bad as we have played one down by only 10 is not bad. With the last series with UVA three and out maybe we have a momentum swing
Gobble pls
Nice stop!
Hey we finally stopped a third and Perkins
Man. I have no idea what holding is anymore. Two DLs get tackled as Perkins cruises by.
#ACCRefs: nothing to see here!
They stopped Perkins but if you watched the play the QB spy screwed up again and sucked up too far forward.
My stomach dropped when Perkins took off.
My butthole slams shut
There we go Robinson! Need something to give us momentum. Still a lot of time left but our offense really needs to step it up
Alright offense this need to go down for 7
Robbie got us going!
Dude got tackled by the punter. Bench his ass.
He's such a tease. *Almost* gets the goods a lot
MUST.....HAVE.....TOUCHDOWN
I would settle for a first down.
King out?
Throw the damn ball. You can't take that sack!
If Brad Cornelson is still our OC next year I'm going to scream
1-for-6 on 3rd down.
This is why Corny needs to move along next year. This game plan is garbage so far.
These slow-developing plays are feeding right into their defensive game plan.
We've run that same play so much this year. They knew what to expect
Again...Is our OC the absolute worst in college football? A weak secondary that we cannot attack...
This is freakin pathetic
The idea is to keep the offense on the field and Perkins off it....not exactly working today
Hooker has to throw that away!
Corny call a slant or something. These slow developing plays obviously aren't happening
Corny's game plan is horrible today. Everything is slow developing or right up the middle. Need to do what Liberty, GT, and UNC did to this defense
3rd down and long for both teams today on nearly every possession.
3-4 is eating us up
Corny isn't helping but hooker has been terrible today as well
This is a bad take. He has no time, and when he does he's right on target.
He's missed a bunch of wide open throws and he's holding on to the ball too long. He has not been good.
Yeah, we aren't watching the same game
I think it's been both. UVA has blitzed for the
Most part at will. There have been as well a few missed passes by hooker. In my view neither the OL nor Hooker are having their best day
Two possessions essentially starting at Midfield with 3 points to show for it.
Not good enough, Brad
Why do you run McClease on 3 & 18? Defense gift wrapped field position with the turnover and we had to take a field goal. Special teams just gave them great field position and we have to punt. The defense has been on the field the whole game. What is going on?
The staff had already conceded the punt and did not want to turn it over on 3rd down
Field position. Chance of a turnover of
Is elevated there
I will donate a significant amount of money to fire Corn and hire a OC that has an actual playbook.
Calling it now, we're going to lose because Corn is calling timid and East west plays.
It's execution! /s
HELL YEAH ROBINSON!!
Yes, Yes, and YES!!!!
Perkins throws a crappy pass
WE HAVE GOT TO TAKE ADVANTAGE THIS TIME.
Tayvion with TWO big returns!
Need a TD big time now.
Pitiful 1st downs are killing us.
Corny. Attack their secondary PLEASE
Fantastic influence block on the return by 11 for UVA
All second-string DB's and we are running at their strength.
They're blitzing us to force us to throw it early and instead of running quick routes to counter that, we're running deep routes and that sack we just took was way too slow to develop too. A screen could be a good call against the blitz, but waiting for the Y to drag all the way across the field is not going to work until we stretch them out first
Hooker looks slow
Thank goodness for the timeout because that screen was going nowhere
Hooker is much better with his runs when they are not completely obvious QB run play calls.
TD gives us momentum that we could win with. FG would be a fail honestly.
We start with the ball in the 2nd half too.
Missed FG would be worse
Someone spam Corny some texts to this game thread at half time so he knows what to adjust
Tayvion keeps gifting Corny with great field position and Corny.....well, let's just say Corny can't be a Gobbler because he keeps laying eggs........
How about throw it to Tavion? He's the only one playing faster than UVAs defense right now. Get him the ball in space and let him shake and bake.
Joy Commercial!!!!!!
I never thought I would have to say this, but please for God's sake throw a Fade!!!!
The biggest Advantage is our WR against their secondary, and we were screwing around running slow developing misdirection.
Did we not have Kill sitting over Brad's shoulder watching tape this week?
they've taken away our lateral bullshit and Corny is befuddled.
Their front 7 is good, secondary trash, yet we still just run it right the fuck at them
UVA: *has a weak, injury depleted secondary*
VT: *has big strong talented receivers*
Corn: "Hey let's run a jet sweep. I'm SURE this time it will work."
EDIT: "Or a QB power. Because it works, except when it doesn't."
Quit trying HH up the middle
These first down calls have been disasters
This announce crew is so biased
Sorry everyone, I wasn't wearing my VT headband. I've got it on now.
Sorry
Come on dude! You know how this works. Is the logo offset to one side?
LOLUVa playing good d
ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!
Cornhole; that play call was pathetic. Run Hooker into the middle of 20 people? (Guess the facemark penalty bailed him out though)
holy fuck. single coverage with Hazeldon in the corner. fucking throw the fade.
Hazelton false starts on a running play going away from him. Why?
The laziest mental mistake all day
Throw to the end zone and not to the line of scrimmage please and thank you!
Our play calling has been so, so awful.
Corny absolutely sucks today. Playing right into UVA's strength
If they don't score a touchdown here they are not going to win this game
Cornhole wants to throw the ball each and every direction other than towards the end zone. It has been rough out there today; however, this play calling is giving us minimal chance to score a TD.
all this shit is soooo slow developing
Hooker... why the hell would you even attempt that throw
effing Hazelton
effing
HazeltonCornyFIFY
Offense decided not to show up today. I don't think we are going to be able to take advantage of their secondary. Long afternoon ahead of us friends.
We didn't
Lol so dumb. Offense sucks shit. D will break again at some point and the offense blowing nuts will make it look worse.
What are we doing? What is this play-calling?
Corny is ass. That is all
It hurts worse that we're shooting ourselves in the foot and playing butt fucking awful offense, not that UVA is beating us.
UVA defense IS beating us. They are playing stronger and faster. They a pushing off blocks at will. Then we have a stupid penalty that takes 6 off.
It's not hard to play "faster" and "push off blocks" when our offense is running nothing but sweeps, power, and slow developing misdirection. Make them BEAT us. There's no benefit in this game to playing slow or calling it the way Corn is.
Hazelton took 4 points away from us. What an absolutely awful mistake. Wow.
Let's be real, the way we are playing that's a stretch.
Edit: Dang, I missed the snap. I guess he literally did negate a TD? My bad.
I honestly think we got a break there...
50/50 call imo. If the refs on field had called a pick then that probably would've stood as a pick
Oh yeah that was a pick but not enough evidence to overturn
Not getting the TD there is gonna cost us this game, Mark this post down
I hate being right
You're not really right. There were tons of other plays that contributed to losing this game, not converting when we needed to.
Wow; bailed out. We need a huge turnaround at halftime.
So we give Perkins one more chance to do third and TD......I gots a bad feeling......
Prevent coming?
Just like Notre Dame, live and die by the field goal...
I don't understand the hate for Corny. We literally scored a touchdown off an "awful" jet sweep that was negated by Hazelton false starting when he isn't involved in the play.
Then Hooker almost throws a pick when throwing ball away.
I don't love ALL the play calls. Definitely room for improvement. But the plays are there and boneheaded mistakes are killing us
How have we had 6 plays from goal & not thrown a single fade against these backup corners with our athletic receivers. Corny needs to step it up.
Terrified to throw into the EZ.
Our best play on that drive was the face mask penalty. ugh...
1-of-7 on 3rd down.
This has been a trend the last 3 games. The difference is the big plays are missing today
Correct, that's why I'm calling it out. Leading up to the week, everyone was brushing it off as "circumstances". I was saying that it indicated a larger problem that was going to bite us in the butt eventually.
I gots a bad feeling.......3rd down
Conner is a fucking pitbull...love it.
QB inverted veer on 1st down... shesh
Man, some of those snaps are getting kinda high......Hooker's jumped for two of them now
Perkins is literally beating us with two big plays today. Our offense should have returned the favor at least three times so far this game.
He had a career high rushing IN THE FIRST QUARTER with 139 yards.
STOP RUNNING UP THE GUT WITH HH ON FIRST DOWN
What in the world was the purpose of that 1st down play call?
What the heck are we doing?? This is the way we managed games early this season. Not even trying.
1:40 and 80 yds to go and you tun a QB draw on 1st down?
What the HECK.....their defense Jumped........
Wtf is this clock management?
How the hell do you call that a false start?
#ACCrefs homie.....
What in the world man, why not time out there?
This is a terrible plan after getting the ball with 1:47 and them only having 1 timeout to work with even if they got the ball back.
Fuente and Corn are coaching like bitches again similar to the start of this season
#goaccrefs
Timecop level time management here.
We called timeouts to give us time and then burn almost a minute with a QB draw, then we don't call timeout when we are short and we turned a 2 min drive into 30 seconds to not score.
Way to fucking go.
QB Draw on first down and then run the clock on second. What is this?
OK - at least a show to chuck it down field
Fuente and Cornelson have earned a lot of respect from me since the Duke game but they have coached this game like fucking cowards
Fuck this man. This last drive was a coaching embarrassment.
That was not a strong throw
Worst first have since early this season. This offensive staff has been awful, the clock management is embarrassing...
Players could have definitely executed better on certain plays; however, this discombobulated play calling hurts to watch.
There is the 2nd half.
Ok, so let's rush Kill up to the Box at halftime, so he can tell Cornelson what UVAs defense is doing.
That clock management was a joke. Why even call the timeout when UVA had the ball if you were gonna play scared
This first half was garbage for VT
2 minutes, 3 timeouts and THAT is the game management we get. You can't make this shit up.
As bad as this half was....we're only down one score and get the ball to open the half.
Yo that was the worst 2 minute drive I have EVER seen. QB draw, run clock then short pass.. WTF
I am trying to determine if Corny or the ACC refs are giving me after Thanksgiving heartburn...pretty bad heartburn, I am going with BOTH......
Both is the right answer!
I literally have a beer and Tums next to me
What an absolutely awful first half. Fuente better rip into this team at half, because whatever we just saw was not Hokie football of the last two months. Corny shouldn't be allowed to come back out of the locker room after halftime. Shit show
The last drive was Mike London levels of incompetence. Wasting a minute on a qb draw when that minute could've easily gotten us into FG range.
we're lucky to be down by 7...fucking hazeldon. hopefully Kill will coach up Corny at half.
Can one of the Pro-Corny fans defend this?
They exist?
Yes. See: Fuente, Justin.
We're all fans of the same team. It's getting really tiresome to see people try to rip on fellow fans. Pro-JJ, Pro-Ryan Willis, Pro-Corny, etc.
We all want the same thing.
I am not thrilled with corny right now. But there were plenty of times the call was right, the play was there, and the offense didn't execute.
I don't care who gets credit. I just want to win.
Seriously. Even the last several weeks, we have been successful because we have been able to milk the clock and hit a few explosive plays that led to scores. We have been bad on third down and unable to adjust our gameplan when it's evident what we are doing isn't working. Even at its best this season, this offense hasn't truly been hitting on all cylinders. Need to get it straightened out and fast.
2-for-8 on 3rd down.
aside from Bud after adjustments, these coaches (Fuente and Corny) are in their fucking heads, Georgia Tech style.
Fuente is a good coach, and he gets credit for both halves of the season. Corny is calling the game play, which is where the problem is found. (Not to mention the O-line not doing even a reasonable effort on run plays)
Yep. On the Hooker face mask there was 0 emotion from the OL. They got beat and just watched.
Only thing worse than their lame ass hug-and-sway is our play calling.
WE'VE TAKEN THEIR BEST PUNCH. TIME TO HIT THEM WITH SOME RABBIT PUNCHES, CROSSES, AND HAYMAKERS.
We've been awful offensively. Absolutely awful. The defense made adjustments after getting burned early, but if we can't score we will give them time to figure out something else.
Normally I'm not on board with the cliche statements you hear from announcers about the 1st series coming out of the half will determine the game, but I think this time it applies. With us getting the ball to start the half, if Corny comes out doing the same shit he was doing in the 1st half, it's over. Just starting chugging your favorite beverage so you're too wasted to know when the game actually ends.
If Corny isn't fired at the end of this season, or preferably before, Fuente is going to have to answer some hard questions. This best friend, good ol boy thing doesn't work in this line of work.
Did they let Jerry go home for Thanksgiving? Geez get him up there in Corny's ear pronto.
Guys, guys. Calm down. Corny has got this. Everyone knows after you run it 100 times up the middle and get stuffed for 4 inch gains that its the 101st time where you bust a big run and everything works. We're playing the long game here!
The good news is this...I think we've gotten their best punch on both offense and defense and it's only led to a 7 point lead. They only started to get a taste of ours on defense in the 2nd quarter and there's only up to go on offense.
UVA plays really well in the 2nd half, especially on offense. Our offense is going to need to grind out some first downs and get some scores or the D will get gassed and Perkins will go off. Not looking good right now.
I agree, but the offense has to start scoring before UVA figures out something else that works or gets BP free again.
How have we not had a single play to Mitchell or Keene in the passing game. That's our bread & butter
The delayed TE screen has been called a few times but has failed
They tried to go to Keane on that huge sack
Where was King? in the doghouse?
Why use an explosive RB at RB when you can use a giant slow TE?
Mclease had a legit block on first play of the half
For those at home, was the false start on our TD legit or nah?
Yes Hazelton did a full body flinch
Thank you. They didn't show the replay in the stadium.
Legit
It was legit...ugh
ROLL CALL FUCK UVA
Fuck those vima drinking bitches
Fuck them break a zima
HELL YEAH HOOKER. GREAT FAKE!
Good start!
Nice way to come out to start the half boys!!!
Hell yeah!!!
Feels like we always want to make a 3rd and 1 into a 3rd and 6. Glad we got it though.
BOOM!!!!! FUCK UVA!!!!
Hooker! Impressive run!
Thank fucking christ.
Alright lets get fucking rolling boys!
I'll take it. Let's dominate now.
Time to use this momentum.
That's was HUGE.
And that's where all the running pays off. Great read by Hooker.
Running hooker off-tackle was a good call. I also like that they're going back to trying to run our rb between the tackles
what a great play call
need to always call a touchdown play!
. . . and execution.
Defensive stop here would be HUGE. Come on bud get us more momentum!
MIL WALKED THROUGH THE FRONT DOOR AS HH SCORED THAT TD
I TOLD HER TO WALK OUT AND WALK INSIDE AGAIN IN A FEW MINUTES
Mine did the same hahah
Great drive to set that keeper up by Hooker, and the defense bit perfectly. Let's keep this momentum up!
It's helpful to remember that LOLUVa has been practicing for this game for three weeks. It's why they were so flat against Liberty, but also why it looks like their defense is practically in the offensive huddles when Tech has the ball. Tech is coming off a short week.
How Corny adjusts in the second half will tell the tale.
(...and TOUCHDOWN TECH as I type this)
It's helpful to remember that LOLUVa has been practicing for this game for
three weeks12 monthsFIFY
Lmaoooo keep trying to talk shit UVA
Nice run! Way to go Hokies. I'm pulling for you to beat Virginia, keep your streak intact, and give Clemson some trouble next week!
Longtime no see. Hope all is well for ya Vet! Big game tomorrow!
Thanks, Maroon. It's good to see you guys coming back! Huge game for you today & us tomorrow. I'm still around, commenting less, but still really enjoy French Wasp's write ups & your boards. You guys are a lot like us during games, lol.
Fuck Xichigan hard tomorrow
Go Blue!
How was that not holding on UVA in the backfield?
The tackle holds are the reason Bryce is getting free
I think it's because I still had my pj pants and long sleeve on.... No worries gents, I'm back to the usual gameday attire of hanging in gym shorts and a sleeveless.
Kemp in is a douche
Edit dumbass
LETS GOOOO DEFENSE! BRING THAT ENERGY ALL HALF
So far, a good start to the 2nd half
Me, as the 2nd half continues to evolve
The sad thing for Hoosville is that this may be their last real chance for a long time............let's go
Come on, offense; keep it moving in the right direction.
Score here really starts to make them doubt. We're in their heads, just gotta keep playing smart & tough
The pressure and hits are starting to get to Perkins. Several balls to nobody there. Hopefully he's seeing ghosts.
Let's goooooooo. Momentum is on our side
Did the announcer just say our mascot is a turkey?
He's not wrong.
Anthropomorphic Turkey-like creature. Gosh, the nerve!
HUGE catch by Hazelton. Lets go!
His hand was under that ball
That was a catch!!
Pass protection is getting much better.
First down, HOKIES!
Screw all the reviews ever other other play
They're ACC refs.... they cant get shit right by themselves.
Hell they cant even do it with replay half the time.
That is absolutely a catch. If they reverse this then I am going to be pissed.
It should be "confirmed" not stands
Love seeing Fu fired up after that huge play. LETS GO COACH
Definitely a catch
More commercial time
I notice they're not showing us 50 reviews of it.
That was WAY more of a catch than UVA's (non)catch.
I wish we weren't 3rd and long on every single series.
Is it me or do commercial breaks feel like they are 15 minutes long!!!
That's garbage! Hazelton did catch the ball
That was bullshit
WHAT?!?! BULLSHIT
What the fuck?!? 🤬🤬
Not indisputable.
BS
Garbage ass ACC refs
Of course
What. The. Fuck.
There's not enough evidence to overturn that...
I'm done with having catches reviewed. This is bullshit.
What is the purpose of replay? Incompetent officials.
50/50 call
Note to officials: needs to be indisputable.
50/50 should go to the call on the field
Huge stop there
Bullshit replay call
How was that indisputable evidence ?
because the call is against Tech
The replay official's name is Carruthers.
Hazelton can't be contained by these bums. Feed him
We need to assert our dominance......we are the better team so we can't allow them to hang around and think that they can steal it......like they did last year
Every snap has been high. This is making me nervous.
Mac C starting to roll
Keshawn King sighting
Well hello RB run game.
Kill must of had something to say at half time
Has anyone seen King? Oh! There he is . . . running for the first down!
Mr. Plow time!
Hold on to that ball, Turner; you have this!
Starting to get whatever we want on both sides of the ball.......
Backed up drain at half time appears to be good luck!
Touchdown Tech!
Ok! Now D stomp them
Sad Hoo sighting
Love it!
KEEP THAT FOOT ON THE GAS PEDAL.
There's blood in the water now boys! Time to eat!
Feeling good...let's keep it up!!!
LETS GO! STOMP ON THEIR THROATS!!
We score one more time and Zima drinkers start leaving
We better not start easing up. Now is the time to step hard and drink from the skulls of our enemies.
DOUBLE BOOM!!!!! FUCK UVA
Ok, now need some defense
I feel like we have control of the game for the first time
Time for another Wild Turkey 101 gobble gobble
hopefully they are all in their heads now and shitting their pants
Hokies!!! Hoos threw everything they had at us in the first half. Now it's time to take this game!
I'll take credit. Drinking coke in the first half. Switched to bourbon at halftime.
3andOut..............lets go D
MEME THAT SAD UVA FAN STRAIGHT INTO MY VEINS
How is Joe Reed EVER open?
I'm surprised that countdown clock isn't analog.......
lousy coverage
Okay... what the fuck was that call on 3rd down..?
Defensive failure.
Too easy.
Well so much for my theroy
and lousier commentary
I hate when we go zone............
Why did we have Conner playing 15 yards deep on a 3rd & 10..?
Fuck
What happened to us on that drive?! Come on Tech.
Jesus..
That was way too easy
Cover Perkins, Reed, and Camp.
Conner with the whiff
Why is that ass-clown still in the game after sucker punching Chatman in the neck?
That UVA player in particular has a VERY punchable face lol
Big ooooof from Conner
Seriously what was Conner thinking there
That was a weak run to the weak side. Big 3rd down.
BIG. PLAY. TRE.
