Yep and that's who I consider good to great each year. 15-25 are decent and rest depending on injuries, tragic events that changed season (Marshall) are meh to bad to horrible.

I did think Tennessee was going to beat us pretty badly on the scoreboard but after watching their game vs. App State, things have taken a turn for the better.

1) Outside of that long pass for TD to tie it up in the 4th, Tennessee didn't even think about throwing it long as it seems like they or Josh Dobbs doesn't have any confidence in it.

2) Their offensive line look average to me. App State. was getting to Dobbs just with their 4 down lineman and running game didn't seem to be there either.

3) Defense looked alright but its hard to gauge them with playing again App State. (Same could be said about us though playing Liberty.

And for the 7th straight week, once again it's loluva!!!!!

I have no guesses but I want to know the answer

From sitting near him for a bit of the Spring Game, it seems like he picks up a lot, bordering on a crazy, inhuman amount.

My brother married a Wahoo. He is a VT alum. When we cannot avoid being together during a VT-lol game, she totally ignores me, which of course, nearly infuriates me, which of course makes her ignore me even more, which of course...
Thing is, when we win, what does it cost to be gracious in victory? Go in the bathroom or outside to take a leak and HA HA HA to your heart's content. Now if we lose, all bets are off because I've learned the female of our species will totally eviscerate you without any feelings of remorse. Soooo...better hope we win.

I lmao at the Motu one... those r good

Those are pretty funny. I guess they have to do that kind of stuff with Dobbs at qb.

lol..leg for you. Just toss him TDs!

My wife is a BC Alum, so I can at least claim a wee, tiny, little bit of experience here.

We cut a deal with each other, since we met while we were both in college, and we both enforce it in good faith. It has worked out well for us so far (6 seasons and counting), and has created a game-within-the-game for us one day a year, and a relative detente the other 364 days a year.

The deal has three parts:

1 - We root for each other's teams every weekend when we're not playing each other. Not difficult.
2 - When we do play, each person can trash talk and rub it in as much as he or she wants* within reason** on gameday until midnight after the game. After that, you have to wait until next year. You can still talk smack when her friends are around AND they start it, but one-on-one, you're both done. Put your pencils down. Do not pass go. Do not collect $100.
3 - If the loser provokes something between midnight after gameday and the next game (in my case, the next 364 days), then the winner gets to go NUCLEAR all day, and the loser doesn't get to complain.... Don't start no sh*t, there won't be no sh*t. Learned this one the hard way.

This system has worked surprisingly well for us, and it has a fun bit of unpredictability built-in, since noon kick-offs give the victor alllll evening to go get in some good shots, and late games usually mean a blitzkrieg of taunts to get all the good shots in before the clock strikes midnight. This situation will obviously be different for you since you don't play every year, but I'd be interested to hear how you guys deal with it.

I think that, in general but obviously not always, this is at least partially true. You have to bear in mind that (at least in my experience) wives are wily masters at the I'm-not-angry-I'm-hurt strategy to in these situations-- and you can't win there. So my advice- if Tech wins, get in a few jabs and make 'em count-- just nothing below the belt, and don't pile on too much. You don't want to count on being able to bust her chops as much as you would your buddies'. You don't share a home with your buddies. Expect disproportionate treatment if you lose.

Oh, another thing...

If Tremaine Edmunds continues on his current trajectory, he could go down on Leonard's All-Time Hokie List.

The LATHL is very exclusive; hard to get in that club.
