# | Buzzketball Central: VMI Keydets (1-1) at Virginia Tech Hokies (1-1) 7PM ESPN3 Nice shirt, Buzz.
Of course I'm not serious. It's just frustrating how over the last few years the defense has played decent. Meanwhile the offense is stagnant and predictable. Defense can't rest when you cant have a sustainable drive.
So after the game I stopped by a tailgate and a recent former player stopped by and he did not have any nice things to say about the QB and the OC. I was kind of shocked.
Agree. I'm incredibly proud of how the players fought so hard today and nearly won that game. But any appreciation or patience I may have still had for Loeffler is gone as of today. I'm tired of seeing his sorry offensive scheme continually sputter and choke when we need them the most. This the best offensive talent we've had since 2010-11, and this offense looks inexcusably bad. I just can't wait to see a fresh new approach to offense after this season. Loeffler is a terrible OC. Tired of that side of the ball being the weak link.
I'm trying to reform myself from the negative so I will try to defend Bucky if indeed what you say is true. Maybe:
1. He needs an OC or HC on the sidelines to kick him in the butt and not let him take plays off. Didn't we see that a few years ago from another guy? Maybe the HC is happy with his play, or can't remember that he had a guy doing that a few years ago.
2. He is a bigger than average fast twitch muscle guy who tires easily and needs a reliable backup to be able to play at full speed when in the game.
3. He is still relatively new to the position and some things are not clicking completely.
4. The guy is frustrated by all the attention defenses are giving him and even more frustrated that the offense is not taking better advantage of having an extra guy often hanging around him so that extra guy won't often be hanging around him.
5. While under the severe influence of alcoholic spirits one night he found a higher spirit and had himself tattooed. (I'm not sure this one counts even as a maybe.)
Seriously hope a new staff can help him reach his full potential.
Iowa doesn't have a loss yet is getting no respect. Bama has zero quality wins. Then will go beat a really overrated UF squad.
That's what I'm getting at with this post. He flat looks out of shape to me.

# | Buzzketball Central: VMI Keydets (1-1) at Virginia Tech Hokies (1-1) 7PM ESPN3 21 points off 3s for VMI. 0 for VT. That's a big differential to overcome. That's part of why we can't put teams away. Puts pressure on us to make a lot of 2 pointers or FTs.

# | Buzzketball Central: VMI Keydets (1-1) at Virginia Tech Hokies (1-1) 7PM ESPN3 Outside of Clarke, our O hasn't looked to great either. Zack needs to see some more touches.
Taking a 5-7 team to a bowl isn't doing things the right way. I hope Tech has enough pride to turn down such an offer if it comes down to that.

# | Buzzketball Central: VMI Keydets (1-1) at Virginia Tech Hokies (1-1) 7PM ESPN3 VMI took 35 shots in the half, we took 17. Just inexcusable even with how often we got to the line.

# | Buzzketball Central: VMI Keydets (1-1) at Virginia Tech Hokies (1-1) 7PM ESPN3 I like the FT improvement. You get the feeling this team did a million free throws the past few days. Kinda disappointed in Big Satch. He came in late in the half and lost the handle on a ball and then let someone whiff by him to the rim. I was really hoping he would have developed a big time mean streak this season.
This game was the mirror of the Duke game. Defense could have done more, but the offense choked at key points.
Easily the worst part was the guy behind me yelling "loser" during the "Beamer" chant post game. Never before have I wanted someone's kneecaps broken so badly.

# | Buzzketball Central: VMI Keydets (1-1) at Virginia Tech Hokies (1-1) 7PM ESPN3 Thank God for that. I can't recall seeing a team struggle so mightily from the line. It's a detriment to this team and I'm glad they managed to get it together in the first half.
While I do feel the SEC gets a little more buzz than they should, Alabama has looked absolutely disgusting in every game theyve played. Even against Ole Miss they were in it, and Chaos tried their absolute best to give the Rebels that win.
Yeah he looked flat out exhausted several times late in the game. His conditioning shouldn't be a problem at this point in the year so I wonder what the deal is with that.

# | Buzzketball Central: VMI Keydets (1-1) at Virginia Tech Hokies (1-1) 7PM ESPN3 We however have improved our FT so far. Only thing keeping us in the game.

# | Buzzketball Central: VMI Keydets (1-1) at Virginia Tech Hokies (1-1) 7PM ESPN3 Our bad on-ball defense is leading to drive and kickouts for wide open 3s. That's too easy. We have got to figure out how to rotate properly on the defensive end or this is going to be a long long season.

# | Buzzketball Central: VMI Keydets (1-1) at Virginia Tech Hokies (1-1) 7PM ESPN3 We allowed them to go 7-18 from behind arc. 21 of 29 points. Ridiculous. We are lucky to be tied.
This is a very creative idea that deserves more upvotes.

# | Hokies Nearly Earn Storybook Lane Ending for Frank Beamer, Drop Home Finale to UNC 30-27 in OT I'm not going to lie, those uniforms looked a lot better than I thought they would. That 25 on the helmets is a great look.
He needs to make better effort on 50/50 balls. Their was no reason for him to come up short on an under thrown ball on that play that was intercepted.
