Are you sure you're not an OSU fan in disguise? Seriously, turn that TV off. Quick! Take two aspirin and call us on Tuesday morning.
Edit: We can beat those guys. It doesn't hurt to believe.

I gotta admit, those are sick. And it makes me want to throw up saying it, but Maryland's is my favorite...

# | Bud Foster: Virginia Tech defense is " more aggressive and twitchier" than Wisconsin, Bama, Oregon A guy coming off of a severe sholder injury with a history of fumbling, you bet your ass he can get rattled. Not saying that that is guaranteed to happen, but I would bet if he gets cracked on a bubble screen, that he will be on edge afterwards.
whoosh
I think at least...
Urban Meyer prefers that you use the initials for Coach Urban Meyer to refer to him.
And he doesn't rewind his videotapes
0 and god vs #1s of any sort...we've beaten a #2...a couple #5s i can think of...but i remember 3 losses to counter each of those...its ugly...
I like to think I know a lot about football concepts and the like. Then I read your articles and I'm blown away by your attention to detail and overall commitment to the game. Great article. Here's to a Hokie win!
I don't want anyone making a sick joke about my gameday apples!
Hello, is the party with whom I am speaking?
Cake
That's because Urban prefers VHS.
We also got apples after halftime.
Great articles but if I read anymore I swear I am going to be watching every play on DVR in slow motion with my eyes 3 inches from the TV, which will hinder my craft beer drinking! Feeling confident going into this game though! Go Hokies!

I'd say I'm somewhere between pessimistic and cautiously optimistic. Just watched too much VT football over the years to be all in on this upset happening again. One thing that not a lot of people are talking about is the emotional aspect as far as an OSU is concerned. We embarrassed them last year in their back yard and you can bet they won't be coming into this game flat or overlooking the Hokies. Combine all that motivation with all that talent and you've got a long row to hoe if you want to beat that team.
Don't like the Nebraska game at number 5. How could Miami in '03 not be in this list? Should have been #1. Texas absolutely should've been in there. LSU in '02 might deserve to be in there as well.
Just started new job out-of-Commonwealth (first real life adult job) mid-August. Two days in, asked for Tuesday after Labor Day off for this game.
Boss said I needed to be in my seat at Lane.
Bless you. Have fun!!

Of all those games we covered as home underdogs, how many did we win outright? Asking this because I'm too lazy to research and I have a feeling you already know the answer. And what's our record vs Top 5 teams? I think we've only won like 2 under Beamer. Our history in games like this aren't the best argument to get me on the hype train haha. But like I said, I really hope these kids prove me wrong. I'd love nothing more than to come on this thread Tuesday morning and eat crow. Go Hokies!
So what's your prediction?
Yeah, besides French's reviews, all signs point to us getting housed. Urban Meyer is a really, really smart guy who has really, really good players. And we overachieved in other ways than defense last year. We bottled up their punt returners, that could change in a hurry. We were magical on 3rd downs. We converted in the redzone.
I could very much see us getting blown out. It's probably more likely that we lose by 20+ than win outright.
