The Ol' Stiney Special
After going through some of the threads on there, one of the common expressions seems to be:
"Last years team would have lost that game last night". As if the measure of them being good or not is how they compare to the 2015 Vols
So basically their argument at this point is that they aren't overrated because they don't suck like last year's overrated squad that sucked
First play: Motley up the middle for 1 yard
Most called play of the game: Motley up the middle for 1 yard
Weather: Heavy rain
Final score: Pitt 17, VT 13
We have a party of 3 as well, but we have two 64 oz growlers filled at Parkway this afternoon and Irish coffees ready to make. Also have victory scotch. Gonna do some eggs and bacon for breakfast and then burgers for lunch.
Side note, anyone who wants to stop by, feel free. We're in lot 9. We'll be 3 younger guys, one will have a bucket hat and striped orange and maroon sleeves. As you can see above, we have things to share.
No, people probably think of other terrible events at VT. I don't want to go down that road; it is not my intention. The point was you can associate an asshole with just about any university. The ratings here are about football.
At the risk of going off on a tangent here...does anyone actually think of that guy and VT in the same thought?
I don't even remember the guy's name, and I no absolutely no one that would refer to VT if you mentioned it.
EVERYONE knows what school Brock Turner went to.
That's how I Math.
Da U is back, baby! Da U invented swagger!
Colorado won the Fulmer cup this year.
Well, the same could be said for VT with the former track athlete who killed a 13-year-old girl. But that's not what's being compared here.
Menomonie, an hour east of the twin cities
I arrived at Tech in the Fall of '65 joining the Corps of Cadets, so I was probably in the stands for Frank Beamer's first time in Lane Stadium. I was at the UVA game for his last regular season game. I've always been a fan of his.
Nevertheless, it is a new Era. Best of luck to the new staff and the whole team in 2016. GO HOKIES!

More like Cocky Top amirite?
this is ludicrous
LU will never cross the 50
That would have been EPIC.
yes
There's a phrase I'll use for the rest of my life.
Dobbs was like "I do this in madden all the time. How hard can it be?" And the app state defender just says "BOOM"
You'll be happy enough when you realize he just ran for 12 yards and a first down, then popped up like a wedding dick ready for more. He's going to be a really good runner, I think.
another advantage to our new offensive system is that we won't have time to go into the kitchen to get a beverage while the offense comes up to the line, looks to the sidelines, goes through a variety of pre-snap motions, finally gets set, then gets 2-3 yards on a vanilla run( I guess we'll get to see that kind of offense when we play BC, though)
I'm all for the uptempo offense, keep the defense on its heels
I'm not surprised, and I'm not ashamed. There are a LOT of adults that enjoy the game of football, even have a preference for a team, but don't have the emotional connection. My dad (62) enjoys watching sports, but has no real emotion tied to it. He'll get wrapped up in the moment, but even for his alma mater, he doesn't get that attachment. It's just a game, a form of entertainment.
I'd love to say every person at that stadium should show Beamer the respect that he deserves, but it's unreasonable to assume everyone has that connection, regardless of how long they've watched hokie football.
We were having this exact conversation tailgating before the Boise game. One of my buddies called for the flea flicker. That was met with chuckles and a 'yeah right.' Damned if we didn't open that game with a flea flicker.
New guess: Statue of Liberty play because....'Murica?

Honestly based on how voters do their ballot with a team or 2 above the, maybe losing they could actually move up in the rankings.
