i kid, welcome aboard.
I seem to be the only one worried about BC. Huge trap game for us, coming out of a huge spectacle game against a top opponent to play the worst team in the conference. Huge game for Lefty. I picture him spending an hour almost every night since being hired cackling softly to himself in the glow of a single lamp plotting revenge. He may not have been a top OC, but he has more inside knowledge of and practice against our defense than any other OC. It not like we often blow BC out anyway. This is type of loss that seems to break stuff around the house every year, or at least make want to, and create huge holes in my memory. Please tell me I am overly bracing for the worst, and this is in no way possible.
Man I can't imagine what it must feel like for a 15 year old kid to get a shout out from somebody like DHall. Great Stuff.
Hope we can keep the momentum going after 2 weeks ago. Thanks for posting the HUDL
links, that's a useful tool. How much stock do you guys put in the star ratings?
I found this quote about UVA a little backhanded, and I love it. haha
"I always felt like Virginia should be a really good job just because of its recruiting base and academic reputation. Every good high school prospect in the state of Virginia has to drive past Charlottesville to get to Blacksburg, so it's kind of hard to figure why they haven't been better."

# | August Recruiting- Football, Bourbon, Beer & Charcoal is in the air I should have clarified, I think the May or June thread got to 100 within the first few days. Overall, we are talking about the same thing haha.
Couldn't even get himself lined up.
Don't forget whisky. Particularly corn'd whiskey.
winner
correct. chris ellis went ham
100 comments isn't so bad...when it gets to 500+ and there are side-discussions about morality and stuff..that's when you throw in the towel
Not alone.
Looks a lot closer to burnt orange than that crappy shade Tenn uses. Just sayin'.

# | August Recruiting- Football, Bourbon, Beer & Charcoal is in the air I am cautiously optimistic that this won't quickly turn into a 100 comment argument about how this staff can't recruit and we need to be exactly like Clemson.
After a strong July followed by some very positive speculation about some pending commitments, things seem to be looking up. Hopefully we can put a good product on the field early and often this season to help keep our momentum rolling.
Excellent.
Sept 3rd Vs. Liberty: W - Fuente's debut game will be unimpressive to the casual fans. We win a somewhat sloppy game 34-6
Sept 10 Vs. Tenn: L - Fuente isn't likely to get his signature win in game 2. VT shows up in a big way and takes a half-time lead into the locker room but the talent and depth at Tenn takes over in the second half and they win 38-27
Sept 17 Vs. BC: W - This is much closer than anyone wants to believe but we eek one out at home 20-13
Sept 24 Vs. ECU: W - With the head-scratching coaching change ECU struggles in their first year under Scottie Montgomery and the Hokies cruise to a 35-17 win at home
Oct 8th Vs. UNC: L - Fuente's first true road game lives up to the billing as his offense starts to come together but it just isn't quite enough to topple a very potent UNC team and they win 45-42
Oct 15th Vs. Syracuse: W - Syracuse has a much improved offense under first year coach Dino Babers but the Hokies' talent and improving defense is too much for the orange and VT wins comfortably 41-24
Oct 20th vs. Miami: W - This is Evans' breakout game. Everybody is down on the Hokies and Miami is looking dangerous but the magic of Lane on a Thursday night is just enough to push the Hokies over the top in an instant classic. VT takes it 35-34
Oct 27th Vs. Pitt: W - The curse is no more. Pitt plays a very close game and it's frustrating to watch for Hokies fans everywhere but the Hokies are just playing on a higher level than we're used to and win on the road in a pivotal Coastal match-up 28-20
Nov 5th vs. Duke: W - VT is clicking and has more talent. Duke can't keep up and suffers one of their worst defeats of the season as the Hokies trounce them 45-10
Nov 12th Vs. Georgia Tech: L - Paul Johnson's offense does enough to eat up clock and confuse our linebackers. VT inexplicably doesn't show up offensively and suffers a heartbreaking loss in OT 27-24
Nov 19th Vs. Notre Dame: L - The Hokies have a hangover loss from GT. They come out flat against ND who jumps out to an early lead before VT settles in and fights back over the course of the game to make it closer than it was. ND hangs on to win 31-27
Nov 26th Vs. Virginia: W - This is the most important game for Fuente NOT TO LOSE in his first season. He has the team fired up and itching to put a beat-down on LOLUVA after the hell week they had following the ND debacle. The Hokies jump all over the L-hoos-ers and curb-stomp them 56-17
Bowl Game: Belk Bowl vs aTm. Hokies win a shoot-out 48-45
Overall: 9 Wins, 4 Losses
good catch. I added the PAT automatically. I'll fix it.
How do you have a 28-24 score in OT?
Feels.
I've heard or read most of this, but haven't seen anything this complete, with film, locations, face to face interview, narration. There is always more (I thought '95 Sugar might get a mention), but I feel this is actually the right length.
Hey I'd be down for the Belk Bowl. At least it's pretty close!
I know, right? Given the discussion we've had recently regarding the tangential impact of tweets to the players, I'm delighted to see one of our top pro Hokies is giving some love to a guy from his position group who has committed to our program. I think small gestures like this can only help.
I literally almost cried in the first few minutes. Man I thought I was past this. Good stuff.
That's something new and different. /s
