Seriously, great work as always!
Interesting to see the GT line go down after a loss.

These are great! Glad you were able to capture the essence of just how wet it was on Saturday.
Btw, I'm in the front row of one of the fan shots at the end. I'd love to pay you for a high res digital copy if you'd be willing. Not looking to distribute or anything, just would love to make a print for my man cave.
Dino Babers summed up ACC football by comparing Syracuse football to Jon Snow in "Game of Thrones": https://t.co/lHc4HyWGfq— Jon Solomon (@JonSolomonCBS) July 26, 2016
Here comes everyone's favorite weekly update! Another Tech win and more increased probabilities of winning games. Virginia Tech is now favored in all but two remaining games (Pitt and Miami) and would finish 9-3 if the percentages were actual indicators. As we saw last week with the systematic dismantling of UNC at a perceived 35% win rate, the numbers don't mean much more than interesting off-day discussion points. However, it's fun to see how programs' perceptions have changed as the season progresses. Not much change this week, I guess it looks like the computers have begun to find each team's identity (weird how pre- and early-season assessments aren't totally accurate).
The tough stretch will be finished in a few weeks and I expect both Thursday night games to be Hokie victories since Lane will force Miami to collectively soil its trousers. Pitt can't seem to put anyone away late in the game, and Fuente hasn't lost in a football stadium all year. ND is finally penciled in as a statistical victory, but it doesn't matter all that much since it's a preseason game.
Happy for fun football and looking forward to Saturdays again! Buckle up, Syracuse. You're next.
Thanks be to the recruiting powers that brought us Ken Ekanem, Vinny Mihota, and Trevon Hill. This is 5 star Josh Sweat JOGGING to the football in the UNC game.

I think he just needs to purchase one of these:
I'm 100% certain that the only way to honor Jim Weavers legacy at Virginia Tech is by playing ECU at high noon. The Weaver Bowl and/or Jim Weaver Classic must continue. (Hopefully obvious /s here)
I actually saw Fedora eat a checker at one point. I don't think it had anything to do with having a disability. Bud merely flummoxed him to the point that eating the checker was less painful than watching what was happening on the field.
Dino Babers says in 2003 it only rained when aTm had the ball.
He blames the 2002 game on the lack of air conditioning in Kyle Field; this game should go in their favor, because Carrier...
1. What was wrong with all of the months that did not end in -ber?
2. My brother-in-law got married the last time we played at Duke. Went well for us.
Hokies Nation's long-awaited fantasy may finally be reality: a relentless defense and a highly effective offense combined to form a formidable national contender.
Yeah, I'm surprised how many UNC fans forget that football is an outdoor sport....OUTDOOR. It's like they don't learn anything at their school or something...
And with Buzzketball around the corner, that would be bad, why?
As a veteran who's married to a disabled person, I see it both ways. What offends me so often doesn't offend others, and vice versa. Knowing that something is offensive rather than funny can be tough sometimes, and we all have our sore spots. I generally try to factor in intent and unless egregiously offended, try to let as much slide as I can. But that's just me.
Doesn't this mean that Dino eats Lunchpail Defense? Isn't that a bad thing?
Dino Babers' recruiting pitch goes as follows.
At Cuse' "..we aint' come to play school, or defense"
Someone, I believe it was Nathaniel Adibi, said they took their lunch pail dirt from the one place the Aggies couldn't reach: the endzone.
But my HYPE train ticket includes one stop in Bristol. If I don't get off, I'll be stuck on it the whole year!...and also January of the next year!
The only problems in our kicking game came when Stroman WASN'T the punter. Seriously smart.
It was a Ron Cherry ACC crew, after all. I'll just leave this here and see myself out.
