Fair enough. Thanks for the writeup!
Luckily being a robot, all you have to do is grab a new faceplate
The "window dressing" won't help or hurt us to win the game, and will provide a lot of excitement for all concerned. Then, if we do pull out the win, it will serve as a great advertisement for our football program and VT in general. I would be a lot more worried if we were predicted to win, that's the kiss of death for us, but the hype is justified in this case and it is our due, owing to the fact that we did beat them last year, it's a night game, opening day, etc. I'm psyched up inordinately for this game, and I want everybody watching it to feel the same way. The only thing wrong with all this hype is the fact that we have to wait six days, ten hours and fifty seven minutes for the game to start, but who's counting?
I appreciate it! You, Billdozer, MStrawther, and a few other are the reason I wanted to make a video.
What I'm trying to say is...
Cheaters
Minn
Louisville
aTm
Bama
VT
It's surprising how often we got to him. Maybe it was the beverages but I don't remember hitting him that many times. The thing that stood out to me is how several sacks were 2 - 3 Hokies swarming him. They handled the OL that game and I want to see if OSU's OL has grown that much.
because they may both be very good (we'll see) they have flaws and playing in their respective divisions is a tough go. I'd be shocked if they went unscathed in conference. both are far deeper week to week than the big 10 was last (or this yr).
USCe easily covers
TCU covers (that half-point scares me, though)
Loserville pulls the upset
AzSt FTW
Wisconsin covers (probably wins)
Hoki, Hoki, Hoki Hi!
In a much more literal way...
UNC +2.5
TCU -14.5
L'ville -10.5
ASU +2.5
Wiscy +10.5
VT +13.5

# | Frank Beamer Discusses Tech's Highly Anticipated Season Opener Against Ohio State Please tell me that track suit Frank is rocking in the pic is made of velour.
I believe that Ohio State will use revenge as a motivating factor to win a close game.
But.. but... the hype train? You'd pick the dark side now?
My face just melted from all this knowledge
I'm thinking about doing a brisket on my Weber Smokey Mountain for Monday Night, but I've never done one. I'm probably just gonna try it for the hell of it and just order pizza of it turns into a piece of shoe leather.
First time as a non-lurker:
USCe
TCU
Papa Johns U.
aTm
Bama
HOKIE HOKIE HOKIE HI
Case and point, the Duke clip. Moto meets the RB 1 yard in the backfield and the guy drops his shoulder and gets a 2 yard gain. If Moto comes in and tackles him instead of catching him standing straight up, it is a loss on the play.
It's an extremely old reference. I've got to remember that Seinfeld is 25 years old now. (Ugh, what does that make me?)
explosions of dork magic everywhere.. chills the second I heard the song.. For some reason makes me soo pumped. Added to Monday Tailgate list!
Bud called it a confidence thing after the Miami game last year.
Let's just hope there has been some progress.
The article from 11W left out a key part to their man route bear beaters. It says that the slants work well against soft man coverage against corners who are afraid of being beat deep. Our CBs played press coverage a lot of the night if I am not mistaken?
Wow. What a great set of plays. Talk about everything working. I sure hope we get another game like that one.
Great article. As you showed the videos, I couldn't help but observe the difference between Williams and Moto. Personally, the way I see it is that Williams attacks the opponent with full confidence, tackling low, right about in the middle of the runner's thigh, and puts his body through them. Moto hits the hole where the runner is headed, but seems like he's afraid to over-commit. So he gets back on his heels, hits them up high and gets pulled with them to where he can only grab an ankle and trips them up after they get 2 yards from contact. I hope it's just a technique and confidence issue because I think those are fixable. No doubt the coaches have recognized this tendency.
Excellent article. Looking forward to everything else that this week has to offer!
I don't think I've read an X's and O's article that was so easy to understand. Now if I could just understand what I'm seeing on the fly without replaying it 2 or 3 times.
