Slight OT, but are they doing the Hokie Village thing again this year? Kids might like to check that out...
Although shocking, electrifying, whatever you may call it, seems like it would be a distraction for the team. I imagine it would have to be a pregame (game day) concert or halftime appearance though, not the actual entrance...in which case the team wouldn't even be there.
Would. Lose. My. $hit!
One key will be a VT ground game, because if that isnt there, OSU will get to Brewer -- even without Joey Bosa. Chris Ash will call an aggressive defense and OSU has the speed to harass Brewer if he gets into many third and longs.
Never understood the overrated chant. That just denigrates your team's effort.
Fascinating read. I respect Frank Beamer, Brewer and VT's D-line. And OSUs loss of Jalin Marshall and Corey Smlth takes away a couple of great receivers. But if anything close to the same team shows up in Blacksburg as the one that played the last three games of last year, I think VT's in for a long night. This O-line is playing at as high a level as a college football line can play, especially for rushing plays. Relative unknowns like speedster Curtis Samuel would start on 90% of teams in America. Braxton Miller can run. This is not the Ohio State you beat a year ago. It's the Ohio State that beat good Alabama team despite spotting Bama a 21-6 lead and then manhandled a good Oregon team. I think D co-coordinator Chris Ash comes up with a way to keep the heat on Brewer -- more blitzes -- and that this is not as close as many think. Not to just brag on my team. Just that from the Big 10 championship on, OSU was firing on all eight cylinders, and there's speed and athleticism on this team most outsiders dont even know about.
Pipe dream. A good one, but, just that.
If it's any consolation, "Victor Greene" is about as Hokie a name as you can get.
Hey, pal! Where we drinkin'?
Well put but there is speed facing you from either side of the ball. Lets play a football game!!
Good point, but fortunately I have real season tickets so I don't have to worry. I used an old passport and a student ticket a few years ago before I joined the Hokie Club and didn't have a problem.
Such a freshman mistake there in the redzone
There is a new security company with the contract this year, plus all the hype with this game I'm not sure you should chance it.
Always liked SMU's colors. Same for the Bills.
Rain in Blacksburg this evening, this weekend?
A couple observations:
1) I believe that Chuck Clark will be a better Free Safety than Bonner - specifically with regard to open-field tackling ( I hope I'm right)
2) Losing Reavis is going to sting: He struck me as the type of Rover who could bring down a Zeke in open field: not sure about Rover;
Tos, penalties, special teams aside - our open field tackling on the edge will be key.
Again, the less-discussed topic - our O vs. their D is equally important - can we score and continue to believe? We had the momentum last year - it carried us to the 4th q and was the wave that led to Bucky's TD.
O shit!
Army is losing at home 21-27 to FORDHAM!
Currently at Half.
If you have an old Hokies passport though, that should work right?
Love the energy, and the recent experience at a high level of course.
But he does just have that prototypical "football coach" voice and vocabulary, and attitude.
He also looks 10 years younger since he was coach.

Boise 2010 won't happen. You know why? Because we're not playing in goddamn FedEx Field. Place is a curse.
