Houston seems to have finally settled in. Made it a 3 point game

Pretty good line up this weekend for the ACC.

Tonight we get to see a couple of our future opponents go at it (Louisville-GT)

and outside of our game tomorrow I'm definitely watching miami-Clemson, and pitt-BC.

I hope FSU can find some new energy under their new qb and beat a rusty Notre Dame team.

Shit, nc state uva too.

Houston definitely shook the rust off at halftime. I went to bed right after Tulane scored their last td, and it was a game. I was surprised when I woke up that Houston had blown them out of the water in a quarter and a half.. Did Tulane just give up completely?

Is this the thread to cheer for NC State?

Yes, yes it is

Rooting for louisville since they dont have an ACC win and GT does. I think?

VB born, class of '14

Louisville is on our schedule and GT isn't.

So, a better L-ville record helps our schedule look better? L-ville win would push GT down the win column and lessen their chances of the ACCCG? In a normal year, I'd be going L-ville to help our divisional standings. I'm honestly not sure who to root for in the ACC this year other than VT and whoever's playing uva.

Wait we don't play GT this year?

That's weird

Georgia tech with the gutsy fake on 4th down.

I like it

..I mean

Just how bad is Louisville?

Their offense is decent. The defense... not so much.

When did GT install the new fancy field lights?

IDK, but Duke has the same thing going on down there in Durham. Really helps the atmosphere quite a bit.

Is coronavirus over yet?

Imagine listening to a podcast about other teams and players while your team is playing...

Is coronavirus over yet?

This is unbelievable. Thave haven't talked about the GT/Louisville game in 10 minutes now!

Well you see, Miami is "bak" again. That's like the second most important thing to talk about in CFB except for the SEC.

There's always a lighthouse. There's always a man. There's always a city.

Anyone do any online sports betting? I know Virginia passed the rule this year that it was now legal but FanDuel Sportsbook won't let you stating Virginia isn't approved. Any insight on this stuff would be appreciated!

Virginia has approved it but the Lottery has to finalize rules/regs/etc and I think some details might have been still been hammered out during the current special session. I think then sportbooks will have to apply to be licensed in Virginia. So getting there but not quite yet.

Louisville is no where near the team everyone thought they would be coming into the season.

Did I hear them say on CBS that Tom Herman was fired on TV during their game today?

No, I *don't* want to go to the SEC. Why do you ask?

I see a lot of confused people on Twitter but nothing definitive from another news outlet.

The Orange and Maroon you see, that's fighting on to victory.

You did hear that. Not sure it it was true. That would be odd to happen though.

I've seen this movie before...

Yeah but usually the sequel is not nearly as good as the original.

TX OU is entertaining

hope this goes 6 OTs like ours did.

So I'm 2/4 on my noon game bets:
The good: VT/UNC Over 60
NCSU (+9.5) (I should have bet my retirement on that one)

The bad: VT(+5,5), VT ML

We'll see how my afternoon goes, but I'm ahead so far since I put a good bit on our over.

Took the navy over for enough to offset all my failed bets this week. Now just waiting to see if my 7leg parlay pans out.

I saw that too, so great.

Perfection. My fiancée turned away from the TV as I sat there cracking up.

Was napping and missed the fight between pitt and bc what was it?

Directions from Blacksburg to whoville, go north till you smell it then go east until you step in it

Jerry Kill sighting on the TCU sideline...god I miss that guy

Don't look now, but BC is making the Pitt secondary look stupid. Next weeks gonna be a very tough game.

Herbie just said, "The Hokies put up a fight today, but UNC is a top 5 team."

We're gonna be that team now.

Is coronavirus over yet?

Sadly we've been that team for like 10 years now

Dunno that I'd say they're a top 5 team with that defense but then again nobody looks good on defense right now

Directions from Blacksburg to whoville, go north till you smell it then go east until you step in it

LOL At Pitt.

Here lies It's a Stroman Jersey I Swear, surpassed in life by no one because he intercepted it.

Missed PAT sends pitt home with a loss wow

I was gonna say that the very same hit was targeting in our game.

One happened in the Georgia-Tennessee game too, except that one was clearly intentional.

i fell asleep in the 3rd quarter of our game and just woke up.

Third quarter was nice.

I love a good nap. Sometimes that's all that's getting me out of bed in the morning.

Love the AFLAC trivia question Clemson-Miami. The team with the most losses against top 10 teams without any wins on the road against one of them. Announcers say thinking of a bottom dweller in a major conference. The answer is Virginia!

Lane Kiffin/Lebby is a hell of a play caller, but Bama got hosed on a fumble at Ole Miss 1 where they should have blown the play dead and Ole Miss forced a fumble when forward progress was stopped for a couple seconds.

What the actual fuck was Miami's returner doing trying to field the punt it's a ground ball in the driving rain on the goal line?

The Orange and Maroon you see, that's fighting on to victory.

Dabo might not bring a kicker with him to future games.

Nothing evaporates Dabo's facade faster than a special teams fuck up.

The Orange and Maroon you see, that's fighting on to victory.

Oh man, was he PISSED at the halftime interview. He looked like he wanted to tell the reporter to f*#k off with her dumb questions. I turned to my SO and said "Miami done pissed him off".

The "targeting" call on Miami just now... I don't disagree with the call based on the rule, but they should revive the term "spearing" for hits like that. Otherwise, it's confusing.

No, I *don't* want to go to the SEC. Why do you ask?

We don't love dem Hoos.

The dance by Lawrence after they announced the change to targeting there should have been taunting. Also tired of the babying of the targeting calls this year.

This week was a come back down to earth day for the ACC...Miami getting worked, VT got worked, and Pitt and Louisville continue to tumble. And UVA lost which always a good thing.

This ole miss Alabama game is fantastic, the high scoring back and forth is much better when it doesn't involve Tech...

Bama needs to come up with an alternate blitz with robber type plan for future games like this. A break don't bend defense would have probably stole them a few extra possessions via sacks/turnovers. The Ole Miss game plan was too ready for the bend don't break. When your offense is playing as lights out as Bama's offense was you probably win that game comfortably. I'm sure it will be an interesting week of practice for their defense after this one.

Not looking forward to playing either of these teams.

Gotta be honest if you didn't enjoy the game today ya might wanna tune out for the Clemson game they look hungry. Did I miss anything why Perry is in the game all the sudden?

Apparently this is the week that Defenses forgot how to play. How many shootouts?

I wonder if Bama, Texas, LSU, Tennessee, OU, and other schools are already calling for a new Defensive Coordinator like some folks here. I would guess that covid restrictions and contact tracing has a more significant impact on practice, etc than we estimate. Lots of shootouts

VB born, class of '14

I can say for sure that LSU and Bama fans are already calling for a new DC. Many Bama fans wanted their DC gone last year (his first season).

Saban postgame intimating Kiffin and Ole Miss had the defensive play calls in their hip pocket which is why they worked the Bama defense was classic.

I think his name is pronounced "blitz on 3rd down"

I'm still surprised as to how he keeps getting high-profile positions...

No, I *don't* want to go to the SEC. Why do you ask?

We don't love dem Hoos.

The saying goes "nobody got fired for buying a dell". He has years expirence coaching in the SEC. He's the Denny Green of Defensive Coordinators, when you need some one that has the credentials even if they aren't good.

Yeah, I guess.

I still remember Georgia's defense getting worse every year after the first during his time there. My guess is he's great at getting talent but not so much at scheming, and the talent level he brings in and utilizes masks his deficiencies at the Xs ad Os..

Tavante Beckett had another great game for Marshall yesterday. Three fumble recoveries, one for a scoop and score. Definitely could have used that yesterday.
