Nothing in my VT experience tops this game. #2 ranked Miami, VT coming off a heartbreaking loss to WVU the week before (the score was not indicative of how out of the game VT was in Morgantown, I was there in person), a true night game in Lane (believe it kids, they used to do it on Saturdays too?). The fans never wavered in the support of the team and if anything cheered harder because of the week before, they loved their Hokeis. Brock Berlin looking completly lost, VT throwing only 4 passes the whole game and just chewing Miami up on the ground, Halls STRIP TD that never hit the ground, the look on Larry Cokers face, Miami dropping a fake field goal TD in the endzone with no one being within 25 yards of the guy, the weather was awesome (warm that night), 2 different defensive touchdowns AND a block field goal (OLD SCHOOL VT FOOTBALL AT ITS FRANK BEAMER-BUD FOSTER BEST) the stadium going absolutely crazy from kickoff til the end of the game. There were games when things could have been like this again (Miami again when they took it to a top 5 team in Lane, 2006 maybe), but this one is one for the ages.

I like the audio of Burnop's call of the Roscoe Parrish strip TD (can be heard in the Miami-VT teaser that Dozer dropped last week). "Hall says "Give it to me Roscoe, give it to me". Loudest I've ever heard the stadium, even louder than the Nebraska comeback.
...or if HOAT is aware the melting clocks are Dali.
I'll show my faith in you with a Turkey Leg.
is this what you do at work?! to busy to lookup funny pictures for my weather report last week?!?!?! :P
On another note, I went down to UNC to visit some friends and went to the game and letme just go ahead and say UVA looked pretty horrible...by pretty i mean very, UNC did what ever they wanted after they scored their first 7 on them and UVA just kind of laid down.
I almost felt bad for them but then I didnt and laughed all the way back to my friends townhouse
Did anyone go to the 1995 UVA game?
"Jim Druckenmiller has engineere the greatest comeback that I have ever seen."
Both of those games were nuts, but I have to give the Nebraska game the edge just because both teams were ranked and we really didn't know where we were as a football team. It was my freshman year and I remember Tyrod had been getting catching a lot of criticism and people were still down after the Bama loss. Tyrod just hung in there and made that win (and a very big one for the program too) happen. On the other hand, Logan was a total beast throughout the entirety of that Miami game, which was awesome to watch.
Any time we beat WVU in Lane, the Texas A&M Hurricane game just because of the sheer insanity of the weather, the 03 Miami game, the LSU riot game (I think the only time I've scene main street closed was the night before). Actually broke two bones in my leg rushing the field after the insane Nebraska game (we never get those miracle comebacks in my memory), so I count that as one of the best games, but one of the worst mornings-after.
The now infamous words of the announcers on TV "they are jumping, they are screaming and it's been that way for the last 30 minutes" - was one of the only times I can remember Lane being practically FULL from that far out from kickoff.
Miami 2011 no doubt, if I had been a student during that nebraska game it woulda been a toughie between the two but good grief that miami 2011 game was a thriller from start to finish and i get goosebumps just thinking about it, YAY FOR SKIPPING FALL BREAK!
I could draw a picture of melting clocks but that doesn't make me Picasso.
I'll second that. The wrestling program is especially impressive, because they were on an upward trajectory when the coach at the time (Brands?) left. I think we could have easily fallen back into the pack, but Weaver found a suitable replacement (in our backyard no less) and kept up the momentum.
I'd say to go through this list, pull up each station's website, and see if they're streaming. I think technically they aren't supposed to stream because the ACC owns streaming audio rights, but I can always find one when I need to.
We've given him a lot of flak, but he's a good egg. Thanks for everything, Weavs.
The 25-2 run VT went on to end the first half and start the second half gives me a glimpse of hope for this team. We know the team at least has the heart to not give up when they were down early. With heart and effort like that, I can get behind this Hokie team.
Another classic. Remember how arrogant the Texas fans were? I loved every drunken minute of watching us beat them. I've hated Texas ever since then.
Bud is the master of disquise with blitzes, cover 2, you name it. He's got the personnel to run just about any type of scheme he wants right now (base 4-3, 4-4, nickel). Even the little things, like have D Hopkins lined up a certain way on a 'Bama Guard to allow Tyler to smash Yeldon for a loss (when in the Power I formation). I remember French pointing this out after the 'Bama game in his analysis. Foster is that 12th guy out there on D.

He's a NC fan.
I was going to post the video blog of the NC kid but, apparently they've been pulled down.
At Virginia Tech: McCloskey started working at Tech in 1984 as the football office receptionist and recruiting secretary, a position she held for four years. In 1988, she became the first woman in college athletics (Division I) to hold the position of recruiting coordinator, and she also was named the senior woman administrator. In 1992, she became an assistant athletics director, and in 1995, moved into the role of senior associate athletics director. Following Dave Braines departure in 1997, she was the interim AD until the university hired Jim Weaver
She filled in as interim AD prior to the hire of Jim Weaver as well, so I think we are in good hands for the time being.
That was awesome. I was in that pack of VT fans. I believe this was a Marcus Vick game. The look on their faces was priceless.
I imagine not many teams look forward to playing CPJ and his hard-hitting chop block offense.
