Illinois Hokie's Recent Comments
Yeah, I was with him all the way to the end, then the last part was kind of a dafuq moment for me. Can't tell if serious or sarcastic.
God I wish they'd bring that show back. Beats the bejesus out of any prime time sitcoms on now. Especially in the post-HIMYM wasteland.

Thank God we would have had five other home games he could visit during, then...
I'd argue the stipulation that BC and Syracuse host the Friday games is a mixed blessing. Yes, they play a Friday game every year. But two other ACC teams have to play a Friday road game at the two northernmost conference members each season. At least BC and Syracuse know they're staying home.
I'm starting to get the feeling Searels is the OL coach Hokie Nation has been pining for since the end of the J. B. Grimes era. And old school smashmouth coach who teaches his players to play with a mean streak.
At which point we'll have a BC 1999 type moment. Incentive to be present to witness history.
Read between the lines. He'll be daring to be working for a different employer next season.
Do you mean Ole' Frank?
And apparently Alex thinks juice has one hell of a thigh gap
I am admittedly operating under the assumption that the ACC will only agree to the minimum required Friday night games. We'll see.
EDIT: Just thought of this. There's a question of what the ACC can contractually compel us to do. The ESPN agreement is for a BC and Syracuse home game on Fridays plus a Black Friday conference game. Of they're trying to get us to play a Friday game any other week of the season, they're going beyond what's contractually necessary, which means they probably don't have the authority to assign that scheduling without the consent of the affected teams. If they aren't giving us the Thursday game we wanted, I doubt Whit will give them the Friday game they want.
Even if they did, there would have to be a second ACC game on Black Friday. The contract calls for a BC and 'Cuse game PLUS a Black Friday contest.
games featuring two west-coast teams will often start at 10PM EST, which means they don't get seen by very many east-coast viewers
This is not exclusive to PAC-12 Friday games. That's just a drawback to being in that conference. Friday night ACC games would be in primetime for the east coast.
That is seven different kinds of awesome.
They don't wasn't to compete with a national broadcast on NFL Network.
If you're in the minority, I'm right there with you.
Having said that, I'd still be quite happy with Ball coming home. Like I said elsewhere, the names getting thrown around have me very excited.
I heard DeVry was in the running until they asked him to greyshirt.
Dude... seriously?
You sound like a Bammer.
This year it'll be to clench an ACCCG berth and maintain our playoff positioning, so it'll probably be another sellout.
I agree that our attendance numbers are probably not factoring into decisions of which games to televize at what times, but noticeably-lower-than-sellout attendance is the direction we're headed. That, coupled with our level of play the last few years, won't do us any favors in terms of bargaining posture with ESPN. It needs to be addressed now before it becomes an albatross around the neck of the program.
Never seen Tommy Boy?
By process of elimination, it's on Black Friday.
a standing commitment from Boston College and Syracuse to each host one game as well as an afternoon or evening game on Thanksgiving Friday
We are hosting the game. So it's a lock for Black Friday then.
We do not speak that name here.
