# | Hokies Offensive Coaches Discuss McMillian, Teller, TE's and the Recruiting Process I just don't see how the heck he could get on the field at his position. Maybe he could switch to WR since he has decent size, but I kinda doubt it.
You'd think as a GI doc, she'd be FAR more concerned about getting crapped on by patients. Also, I'm sure there's a joke in there somewhere about tail coverage.
So, is the internet rumor true? Do they indeed smell like corndogs?
Or you have a homebrewer friend with a problem of making too much beer to supply!
Some additional information/stats on the ECU game
ECU 3rd down conversions by quarter: (4/5, 1st); (0/4, 2nd); (0/2, 3rd); (1/4, 4th)
ECU total yards by quarter: (215, 1st); (154, 2nd); (33, 3rd); (119, 4th)
ECU points by quarter: (21, 1st); (0, 2nd); (0, 3rd); (7, 4th). The last score came with 16 seconds left in the game.
Yes, ECU beat the DBs. However, Tech had one bad quarter, not a bad game. I distinctly remember interviews saying that they didn't change anything from the 1st quarter to the 4th, just the ECU receivers quit making plays and our DBs quit having missteps.
Did you paint up with us for the 03 Miami game in the North End Zone? My roommate and I are the ones that organized the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University chest spelling.
that's amazing--love the Hokie Stone pattern on the side!
If you don't mind me asking, how much did this whole thing cost you? I've considered many options for a tailgating setup in the future, but cost has been my biggest hurdle. It's very impressive what you've created.
HIT HIM IN THE FACE. MAN!
I have a ton of pics from start to finish......but not all uploaded yet. I started back in Feb with a blank canvas. Took me a lot of weekends.....and a lot of help to get it all done.
Decided against the kegerator......thought it would end up meaning I bought all the beer !!
Not to mention the great food and lovely company.
daaamn and to think, I was all excited that I upgraded my tailgating gear with a VT-theme canopy.
That is a seriously awesome setup, where are you going to be parking? EDIT - just saw your post above - LOT 9

YEP....power hour on repeat !!!!
Something that seldom happens to me, I am at a loss for words.
You know I thought about how I would design a trailer for Tailgating and I think you made this to perfection!!! I love the license plate!
However, I don't see a kegerator anywhere in the pics? I think we may need to know what games you will be going to this year... I will be hittin the homecoming game if you need a keg to tap at your site!
Love the Vintage logos as well. WOW

# | ESPN Radio Blacksburg Today: French discusses OL and freshmen in the seconday Appealing to my laziness... where can I find that podcast?
There's an old adage in sports that I've heard applied to football and basketball: "It's not about the X's and O's, but the Jimmies and the Joes."
This is no slight to VT, but Ohio State recruits at a higher level. That said, the difference is not so large that it can't be overcome with good coaching, player development, motivation, execution, etc. - and VT proved that last year.
They also disproved that adage as an absolute. IMO, that was a triumph of X's and O's over the Jimmies and Joes. Again, that doesn't mean that VT didn't have the best individual players on the field in places, but on the whole, Ohio State had the talent and depth of talent to be the best team in the nation. But at that time, they were too green to play at the level they needed to in order to win a game vs. a very good VT team at the time. Bud Foster looked at a young OL, QB, unproven RB, and questionable WR corps and wisely chose to try to choke them with pressure. His X's and O's, along with some clutch plays by the QB gave them enough to win that game. No one should try to diminish that feat. Very few teams, relatively, have ever done it in Ohio Stadium, regardless of circumstances, and the Hokies deserve all the credit. As another thread asserts: "it was no fluke."
However, the basis for my confidence going into this game (and I think the subject few want to really address on this forum), is that the Bucks do have the Jimmies and Joes, the coaching, the experience against superior competition, and reasons to be highly motivated. That gives the Buckeyes a very good advantage going in. If I'm a VT fan, I'm thinking the home field, confidence from last year's result, a genius for a DC, among other things, will be enough to offset the advantage OSU has coming in. Since the adage was proven false and non-absolute last year, then it definitely means that it can be repeated, but the adage exists because it is generally true. The odds are it will be true again, but the best thing about CFB is all the things that happen that defy the odds. :)
Unless it is the blood of the vanquished Buckeyes.
(That may be a bit too far. Also, I may be a little too excited for this game)
