# | "Ohio State players ready for rematch with Virginia Tech" By Mark Berman He really has been hovering around this line for a while now...
Seems like more comments than not have included at least one backhanded compliment. Starting to get the feeling he just came in here with the pure intention of trying to kick up the hornet's nest, but had at least enough of an understanding of the system to know he needed to build up the TL repository before letting the crazy out.
Atlanta has the same type game though. SEC vs somebody at the Falcons stadium.
Yeah, Gameday didn't even come to Boise in 2010 because it was played on Monday.
Dude, you came in as Kramer, now you are Michael Richards. Wtf happened? Can we have friendly back and forths without comments like this? 11W is a great place for BS jabs like this.
The SEC.... Anytime, Anywhere*
*-By anywhere, we explicitly mean any venue that will openly allow for our fanbases to purchase 70% of the tickets to ensure we are never at a disadvantage

# | "Ohio State players ready for rematch with Virginia Tech" By Mark Berman don't misconstrue what I'm saying. Certainly I care about more than just not getting blown out. Just as any fan would, I hope that VT wins 15 games every year. But I'm also a realistic person and I know that VT doesn't currently, and likely never will, match the resources that OSU has. I will be at the game and I will be yelling and screaming and supporting my team until the clock hits 00:00. I will show up a Hokie fan and I will leave a Hokie fan. I know that we're capable of winning (last year's game in columbus) and I know that we're capable of playing poorly and getting blown out (Miami Thursday night at home last year) so I temper my expectations accordingly. Just because I hope that my team wins but I won't jump off a bridge if they don't doesn't give you the right to be arrogant.
For the most part I have had no issue with what you've said here but "I guess that's probably just a byproduct of where our two programs are in the whole landscape of college football" is an unnecessarily arrogant thing to say.
I do not appreciate that you're trying to paint us as apathetic fans. We're not LOLUVA for crying out loud. We just know that OSU is undoubtedly the best team in the country and we still have a riddle to figure out offensively. Realistically it's silly to expect this VT team to beat the #1 team in the country on a given night, but that doesn't mean I don't care if they don't do it. I take solace in the fact that we did beat OSU last year and that met my expectations for the series but that does not mean I am satisfied with the result. I hoped we could win one of the games and we did. I'll be satisfied when we drop you guys again in 35 days.
i would say so.. Jerry World will be a sell out and they will get to hype the SEC even more..
since 2008 bama's only OOC away game was played at duke in 2010
...or their facilities...
Has to start tailgating.
Apparently L'uvulle's defense is vaunted compared to ours. k
I really think a Monday game versus a Saturday game had more to deal with the location of gameday than anything else.
^^ This is what I've been thinking all along. I don't know why there was any anticipation that they might come to Blacksburg.
If the game was scheduled for Saturday, then I would fully expect them to be there.
Just went from 6 to midnight.
Cutting glass.
Chicken skin.
I've got chills...they're multiplin'...and I'm losin' control.
Nuclear (pronounced New-Cle-Ear).
Bud Foster verse Mark Berman
I'm guessing now would be an appropriate time to mention how ESPN has this massive financial deal with both the NFL and SEC, so going there helps to pimp out both of their deals.
We play on Monday. I doubt they even considered to come to Blacksburg on Saturday.
Wiles and Gray are already in co-coordinator type rolls beneath Foster. Wiles is the Run Game Coordinator and Gray is the Passing Game Coordinator.
since 2011 Gameday has been to Jerry World 3 and now 4 times in the past 5 years on week 1.
The SEC brand has taken a hit recently... the mothership needed to swoop in and help ease the tensions.
are these Head Coaches only or HC's and Coordinators? Some seem fairly detailed, makes me think the coordinators are involved in providing comments.
My IT department head is a Hokie Club rep.

It has more to do with having legit expectations.. sadly the last few years VT has been mediocre at recruiting (30-40 range), had 3 OL coaches in the past 4 years or so and the whole beamer health debate definitely doesn't help.
Winning against OSU again and possibly the coastal is a legit target, the NC is years away for sure.
If any hokie fan says oh we're winning the title this year i'd love to know what he is drinking/snorting/taking because were 1 injury away on the OL from looking like a 6 or 7 win team
We win the National Championship and y'all are happy with just winning atat our house for an OOC game in September, and don't even really care if you win this year as long as you keep it close.
I guess that's probably just a byproduct of where our two programs are in the whole landscape of college football.
We would have ran away with it if the game was on Saturday. No one else would have even been seriously considered. Defending champs vs. only team they lost to last year, preseason #1, Blacksburg, biggest football game in Lane history. No contest.
