But if we do blitz.....

let me see if I can get this right...
ahem.
"TKP Harder!"
Every 4 years or so would be nice. Definitely not every year.
I wonder if those public comments play into his motivational pitch for the season. 'We may not be the best individually, but we can be the best team on game day"
not that it matters tomorrow, because we have the talent and the teamwork edge.
Personally I think the triple option will be dead at GT after this year. I think PJs time is up.
Highly probable we won't have to blitz to get pressure.
Actually I wouldn't be surprised by 6 sacks Saturday
It's me. I used to be on The Busby Babe a lot. Not so much anymore.

2. 8+2. If we don't have 2p5 schools, go get them.
3. Push geographically into Tx, Ark, Ok. It fits our staffs background, lots of good players there.
4. Not many teams left on the wishlist with the future schedules so well filled out with ND, wisky, PSU, Mich, etc. I would be ecstatic with UT, UT, ATM, Ark, TCU, OU, mich st, and Colorado. Any renewals of the recent p5s would be fine; LSU, Bama, osu, neb, etc. AAC teams like Cincy, Memphis or even temple would be preferable to ECU. West coast games are too logistically challenging for travel to be worth it.
props (leg) for bringing reference to one of the best stand-up specials I think I've ever seen
I used to have an `07 Tacoma, but I had a kid and was forced to sell it. I still dream about that truck.
Alright so I had to google Troy Nunes to figure out the site name. Ended up finding out he is 5th on Cuse's single game passing yards record, for his performance against us in 2002.
So, I strongly dislike Troy Nunes. (Fuck is reserved exclusively for Matt Ryan.)
We would absolutely kill VMI right now. It would be like GT and Cumberland.
Because that wasn't hard enough to pull off as decently (or not) as they did. Plus ticket prices. Every year? Whew.
I'd be in favor of a regular (doesn't have to be annual) home-and-home though.
set a world record watching this
had a seizure, too
Odd numbered years kind of suck for VT home games ever since the ACC screwed up the schedule rotation, and put GT/Miami/UVA on the same cycle, and then the NC schools on the other.
Last year's home slate was only saved by Ohio State. Home games were OSU, Furman, NC State, Duke, Pitt, and UNC.
2019 is even worse. Furman and ODU at home, with Wake Forest being the home crossover.
Used to, if I could only go to one game a year, I could usually alternate between GT and Miami, and know I was getting one of the big games of the year. Now, in odd years, we're at the mercy of the rotating crossover or out of conference. (That being said, I really look forward to 2021, and hope they don't change that schedule.)

Why would it not? They are right in the middle of the recruiting hotbed that FSU has been stealing from us for years. Going to play down there will be great for recruiting, especially if we can beat up on the Monarchs.

# | David Teel: Babcock, Fuente, & others to re-examine future football schedules I tend to agree. Neutral sites are only good if it's the only way you can get a Bama or uT to play you. It's best if a neutral site is combined with a home/home for a rubber match game. We should have done that with uT. (I think that's what we did with wvu.)

# | David Teel: Babcock, Fuente, & others to re-examine future football schedules Agree - if anything, VT playing in their tiny stadium validates their attempt as D1 program. I hope we destroy them once or twice (tops) and then buy-out the rest of the games.
Base in Va Beach, I'm tired of hearing about how odu has the best team in the state.
Welcome to The Key Play. I see that you are new here.

I will admit to having seen the 'ole VT_Warthog over on SB Nation a number of times... (unless that's actually not you, and this is a tremendous coincidence; however, going based on the sigs alone, I'm guessing it's you!).


Hey fellow Hokies,
I visit the Syracuse SB Nation site quite often and believe me, they are a decent bunch of fans. They definitely have an interesting sense of humor that I cannot quite pin down, but it is a good site with good writers. As an example of the type of humor that can be found on their site, I offer for your reading pleasure the following:
The Ballad of Sara Quse...
It hooked me to their site ever since.
