LT cut as well
LT and Simms were cut, Hence the need for Barkley
Looks like the Hokiebird went on the same diet Frank did
French, you're my hero. I went to TKP every day and it helped feed my addiction to Hokie Football. For that, I say, "thanks."
Cuts are coming in hot and heavy. 704 players will be cut between thur and Sat at 4pm. Looks like David Wang has been cut.
Halleluiah, holy shit! (Where's the Tylenol honey?)
I love it. And yes, we may get pantsed on national television. Won't be the 1st time, and it won't make me hide in shame. I'll still proudly sport my Hokie gear every time I drive through Charlottesville on my way to NC. Here's hoping we're the windshield and not the bug. Or the Louisville Slugger and not the ball. Whatever. I can't wait until I'm sitting in my seats, rather standing in front of them as Enter Sandman starts blaring through those damn big speakers, and we roll out of that tunnel. Go Mother F-ing Hokies! (I mean that in a good way...)
Logan will probably go to the practice squad with Sims being cut.
St. Mary's County represent
The Service Academies, and FSU's were dope.
Stanton also is making way too much money to be a backup on that roster. Likely he is gone within the year and LT and Barkley fight it out.
It is telling that Simms was the one cut first not Logan.
Hokie stone is the parking pass still open brother?
I am definitely not one of those people that believe games from 10 years ago matter. I only addressed our record vs top 5 teams because someone commented on my post and discussed our record as home underdogs. Furthermore, I didn't say we will lose. Anything is possible. I just said I'm not confident that we can win. Or even cover the spread.
I don't think our offense is elite by any stretch of the imagination, mainly because of our offensive line. We have some talented skill position players, and an average QB that threw 15 INTs last year to 18 TDs and took way too many sacks. Maybe he'll be better this year, maybe not. He's not shown me anything to date that makes me believe he can produce on a consistent basis though. As far as OSU's defense, unless they've fallen off dramatically from the last few games they played last year til now, they have proven to be elite.
I think a lot of our fans are high on this team because we man handled Cinci last year in the Bowl Game (hardly as talented as OSU) and because of how much the coaches have been bragging on the progression this past spring and fall. Well to paraphrase the ole ball coach, when do coaches ever say their team is anything but stellar in fall camp?
The whole point of my comment was to say as a Hokies fan, I don't think we have the horses to play a 60 minute game against a team as deep and talented as OSU is in all three phases and win. I believe we can keep it respectable if our defense is as good as they're supposed to be but I just don't see us winning this game. And I haven't seen anything on paper or otherwise to make me think any different.
Anything short of a few lucky bounces, maybe a special teams and defensive score, I see OSU winning. And they should win! They are more talented across the board than we are. They are coached by a guy that not only knows how to win big games, but has won them. A lot of them. Taking nothing away from any of our players or coaches but until they prove to me that they are capable of winning games of this magnitude (consistently) I'm not going to get my hopes up. I'll still donate my money, attend games, and proudly represent my team with flags, decals, and clothes but I don't have to pick them to win every game. Especially against an opponent that boasts Ohio State's resume.
I actually have that issue too...
"Wait, of course college football does that, because it's football...oh wait...Coach..."
The atmosphere reminds me a lot of this game...
Honestly, I could see the game playing out much the same way. Defensive battle, no one pulls away until late. Lots of yards on the ground by at least one team.
We've won 5 of the last 8 games where we were home dogs.
Yeah, the FSU game involved field rushing.
I dont remember which school it was, but during one of the games I was a student this sign involved pulling a skull out of a head. It was glorious
Hmm, looks like you're right. Wonder why that would be.
That is sooooo awesome!
Great job!
I'll be looking for it on ESPN...
Yeah, we had a little QB like that once...
Sorry, I have no idea how to imbed the video, so you'll just have to click on the link...
Sadly I don't have any Westvleteren 12 - my parents brought a few bottles back from Belgium and I got to try it once. It's nearly impossible to get it in the US.
Upholding a proud legacy of mechanical taunting of opponents. Love it.
Sir Urban Meyer wants to be referred to as "The Donald".
And free tickets to every home game, and an away game every year, and bowl trips and per diem and swag.
Though for real everyone makes sacrifices fro what we love. It was cool that I got 1k buck as a freshman fro joining the HT's but I wanted to do band in college no matter what, that little amount of money wasn't going to sway my mind.
This was pretty cool, I'll have to keep an eye out for other videos as well.
