That was excellent man. Enjoyed the beginning then the end
with the Stroman score.
The theme this season has been making things right, winning the games we're supposed to win, convincingly. That same theme is alive and well this week, it's just been so long since the Carrier Dome Horrors that a lot of people have forgotten about them.
If we trounce Syracuse and break the curse of the Dome, in a weird way it'll make me feel even better than the last three games.
I also included Lamar and Coach Fuente with his "I'm tired of hearing about others" speech

# | By the Advanced Numbers: Virginia Tech Returns to Syracuse, ACC Edition Stats predict we win out
Slightly less than 75% chance of finishing the regular season with 10 or more wins
Predicted blowout victory in the Carrier Dome
Too.... much..... hype....
to be fair, schools like UNC and even Syracuse can usually depend on their offense to put up numbers to keep them in the game, but their defense still sucks. We legitimately have a good defense, maybe not elite (though who knows, if we continue to shut down teams I may change my tune), but it's not like the safety net of a good offense is what's making them play awesome.
Wow, people really hate Guy Fieri.
I get that he's no Anthony Bourdain, but what's with all the animosity toward him. I used to like DDD almost as much as Man vs Food.

# | After Withstanding a Hurricane, Hokies Hoping to Exorcise Dome Demons in Syracuse Correct, the Syracuse quarterback in the 1999 62-0 game was Troy Nunes.
I understand the Watson reference, but seems out of place there by itself with no other examples.

FPI is pretty good. People just ignorantly trash it because its ESPN.
You are missing out on the absolute fucking gloriousness that is HyVee in the midwest. All other grocery stores pale in comparison now. (Though I still do a lot of my shopping at Aldi, just because you can fill a whole cart for right around a hundred bucks.)
The entire weight of the program isn't on the defense's shoulders anymore. Above all else, I believe this is what has us playing better this year.
Yes, the new coaches are great, and I'm really not surprised to see guys like Motu bring their game to the next level with a year of experience under their belt, but just knowing that its ok if you aren't perfect for that one play because the offense is more than capable of bailing you out allows you to play a lot looser and allows you to not dwell on an off play here or there during the game itself.
As opposed to years past, one off play isn't the potential difference between bowl eligibility and LOLUVa status. That has to mean a lot
It's almost like they use it to create a talking point for their football shows throughout the week and that's about it.
That right there is the sole purpose of the ESPN stats department.
No, but I did find this:
"The first aid room is located on the lower level concourse between aisles 101 & 102 on the south side of the Carrier Dome across from Gate A."

Hahaha.
OT but tangentially related: does anyone know why Dadi changed his name? I guess I always assumed it was to take hid mother's name, but apparently she is also an Estime.
Lowes Foods. Not quite the same Lowes you are thinking of.
Wow this is great to see.
Your lowes is a grocery store?
Wyatt calls that "Around the World."
All kidding aside, no, absolutely not. No way a 2-loss Tennessee team gets in, yet Tennessee will stay highly ranked if their only losses are to A&M and Bama, which is good for our SOS.
And we don't really owe them revenge. It's not like they ripped our hearts out like Michigan the PAC-12 refs did. We fumbled that game away and have no one to blame but ourselves. They took advantage of our mistakes and won the game.
To be fair, the entire plotline of Stranger Things is exactly the kind of shit the Doctor would pop into for an episode.
I really don't like ESPN's FPI, it is seemingly wrong all the time about a lot of teams. It's almost like they use it to create a talking point for their football shows throughout the week and that's about it.
Good for the ladies on those cold game days.
