Hokieshibe | 12 years 7 months # | OT: Next Gen Console?

I'm going xb1 for a couple of reasons:

Titanfall - it's an xbox exclusive and looks amazing
I really like the ability to work my TV by shouting at it - "Xbox, on. Virginia Tech." to change to a VT game seems pretty cool to me
For the most part, I imagine the majority of big ticket games will come out for both systems to maximize sales for the developper. As such, I can't imagine the advantage the PS4 has in hardware will really be utilized by too many games
The ESPN app/functionality for XBox could be pretty cool - have my fantasy team get live updates on the side while I watch football?? yes please.
Most of the PS4 apps are also Xbox1 apps. The same isn't really true the other way around

Either way, you're probably going to be in good shape. I can see the arguments both ways - I just think the xbox1 fits my user patterns better.

What happened to your comment? With the Hoos boo-hooing?

Well, I guess rb is one of those positions where you can never have enough guys. I trust the coaches - they know what they're looking for, and Franks always been good at finding diamonds in the rough.

While that makes me snicker, "formerly" extending a scholarship offer also cracks me up - especially in the same letter in which he touts the greatness of the education. I guess you need to really see the whole thing together to really get the complete failure of it. It's like a perfect dish created by a master chef, where every flavor surprises, but still complements the course. Mike London manages to pack an incredible amount of failure into roughly 3 paragraphs.

Would it be one for every year? So only 10 verses? I guess that could be feasible. I guess poke some fun at Al Groh too? I dunno, let me think on it. I'll try and post it in 2 days maybe when we're only 10 days out?

Hokieshibe | 12 years 7 months # | Every Stereotype of UVA in a Single, Douche-filled Webpage

Anybody else get a Freaks vibe from reading this?

"One of us, one us! Gooble Gobble! Gooble Gobble!"

Hokieshibe | 12 years 7 months # | Our Next Game is Against UVA

I want tears.

I want a decade of dominance.

I want a victory.

Go Hokies!

Hokieshibe | 12 years 7 months # | Frank Beamer

See - I guess this is where we differ. I think Frank Beamer HAS consistently gotten his team to perform. Hell, I'd go so far to say that he's gotten us to over-perform for decades. A down year last year, followed by a rebuilding year during which we are getting players necessary to fit the new schemes (which both were still bowl seasons, I might add) are really unavoidable every now and then in college football. The fact that Beamer strung all of those 10-win seasons together WITHOUT having 1 down year like this is stunning, frankly. Especially when you consider that we don't have the recruiting draw/prestige of some of these other, more established powers.

We had a down year last year. It happens. Lets give the fixes (which we ALL clammored for) some time to settle in before we try to burn the house down.

Hokieshibe | 12 years 7 months # | Just the Facts on Frank

Thank you for adding a dose of reality/sanity to this topic - I swear, some people are absolutely insane. Beamer is going to retire someday, and we'd better cross our fingers that we get someone even remotely as good of a coach. We could easily be in UVA's shoes if we choose wrong.

Hokieshibe | 12 years 7 months # | Losing to Duke, BC, Maryland and maybe UVA in one season, changes ahead.

It still doesn't tell you a thing - it's just a worthless bit of trivia at best. Change the team names, and you'd just shrug. For example: "You know, historically, not many Big 12 teams lose to Texas Tech, Oklahoma St and Baylor all in the same season. But Oklahoma did it in 2011." <- file that under "totally irrelevant"

Hokieshibe | 12 years 7 months # | We lost to Maryland

Easy tiger - I'm completely the opposite. Totally apathetic about the terps. Who cares? It's Maryland.

Hokieshibe | 12 years 7 months # | Losing to Duke, BC, Maryland and maybe UVA in one season, changes ahead.

Duke was a joke in 2010. Duke's been a joke since BC joined the league. Plus, nobody plays all 3 of these teams every year except for Wake Forest. That's why this doesn't happen often. This statistic is pretty worthless, honestly.

Hokieshibe | 12 years 7 months # | Any redskins fans here?

They built me up just to knock me down. Today was like losing twice. I hate my team. But I just keep coming back...

Hokieshibe | 12 years 7 months # | We lost to Maryland

I hate losing to Edsall. That guy's a total jerk. Having said that, Duke is beating the Canes right now, and if that holds up, the game today might not really matter that much outside of our final record. This team is maddeningly inconsistent, but you know what? I still love them. Lets go kick the crap out the hoos and end this year on a high note. Go Hokies!

Hokieshibe | 12 years 7 months # | In light of CJ getting kicked off the team, FSU's Winston's being investigated for sexual assault.

holy crap. That's all I really have to say about that.

Hokieshibe | 12 years 7 months # | SBNation Projects Virginia Tech-FSU in ACCCG

I think each scenario has a % chance to occur. So their weighted. those 392 scenarios for GT require a lot of upsets and stuff (us losing to UVA and the like), whereas ours have more likely outcomes (us not losing to UVA).

Just donated! Also - one minimum donation is already 3% of the goal! All we need to reach it is 40 people putting in $25 each. We should easily be able to hit that.
