I don't know if I like hearing that Dadi didn't beat Hansen, especially without using his hand. Sounds like that wrapped up hand is really hurting him.

True, but having Germany as a next door neighbor isn't quite the same as Mexico or Canada.

Definitely Oregon didn't Bear-up. My phrasing was poor above. Nonetheless, after watching them that second half, it isn't crazy to think they would have run over an 11 man front - not sarcastica. Urban was impatient on the run. I don't think he will be this year - as you've stated many times - Zeke's run to the left for the TD showed some vulnerability to our scheme as they blocked quite well on the perimeter.

Huge deal last year was VT scoring first - to some it may seem slight, but when you've followed the team long enough to know how anemic they can be on O despite strong D, it can be overstated. Getting that drive early created a spark - I don't know how we can pull it off if we don't get that again.

Your greatest asset is Zeke and the the way the line played at the end of the year - unstoppable. If you guys don't get too cute it will be hard for our best effort to last.

I believe it's spelled surrender.

I always appreciate your level-headed analysis and statements. I think fans on both sides tend to lob bombs at each other due to a sense of superiority and team pride. Can we just play the damn game already?

To be fair, you're not playing the Little Sisters of the Poor. Our entire starting DL are Nagurski watch listed, we're starting an All-American at one corner spot, and a former freshman AA at the other. Our starting free safety is a beast, and our starting OLB balled out hard against y'all last year. You certainly have better depth of talent, but the gap, especially against our D, isn't quite what you think.

I was a Mechanical Engineer for TVA in Chattanooga for a short time.

Cool city, but I could never understand how Tennessee people could effectively communicate with each other without opening their past their teeth.

No argument from me, we were a couple bad bounces away from finishing 4-8. But that means realistically, the realm of pure luck puts us between 4 and 8 wins. Actually put an offense on the field that resembles something other than a pack of dogs fucking a watermelon and all those close games become wins.

How did Newesome ever get another job if message board fodder had any impact on Coaching performance? I really think Searles will be ok at least for what we need now in terms of direction.

And for the record, I will correct you when you pronounce croissant wrong.

I think UM will try to establish the inside power running game and then move to the outside/option running game. If either are established we are in for a long night. If our D forces them to pass and JT can connect on a few we may be in for a long night. If JT figures out he can run/scramble for big yards again we are in for a long night. With that said: VT owns the night! Exit light enter night and you will become the victim of the hokies on opening night!! Sorry for that sad attempt....had 2!

I'm sticking with what I said last year. Our Defense (one of the best in the nation) matches up really well with OSU's style of Offense (option style/spread) and I do not see any reason why we cannot win. Plus, If our Offense is half as good as I expect it will be this year. We are in for a good night in the burg!!

For a while, I was convinced he was playing a Joaquin Phoenix long con. But nope, dude's just batshit.

Great job! I think Brett Warren was the MLB and his brother Beau played center butbI may have it backwards.

For all the other noise, I credit Searles with establishing attitude and willingness to execute man blocking especially in situations where that's all we could execute! I really think we will be better this year.

Concerning my hatred for cotton candy, it's not borderline. It is red-lined, full-on hatred.
