I think it's because our rivalry with Miami is strictly football.
The one with UVA? That's cultural.
Fantastic as always. I love coming here for Hokie football info and still getting my weekly NFL recaps, and the fantasy stories are pretty great. Now if only I hadn't just lost my second straight...

I'm optimistic about having sets with Malleck AND Cline.
Sorry, something not working correctly and it won't let me leave a blank post or delete it.
There's good saltwater fishin' down that way.
A win every time they attend.
I have season tickets, my 4 and 8 year old regularly attend.
Big stage, at night, figured a slow start was a possibility. Oklahoma's got some players on defense and they've gotten after the QB. All these flags (and unfortunately injuries) have really killed the flow of the game.
Pulling for Stanford tonight. I'd like to see FSU in the NC game.
Baylor doesn't look that good on offense right now.
Say what you will about the Big12 (or 10? whatever. That conference around Texas that added Morgantown for some diversity), but the perception this season reminds me of past ACC seasons. There seems to be a lot of parody within the conference, and not one national juggernaut. This game has been enjoyable so far.
Ah late -
1 hr into the game, haven't checked the score, but I'll Baylor.
Still 20 mins before the game - I'll go Oregon
PSU
Wiscy
VT
Alabama
And that's more of an affront than abstaining from cheese.
Safety. Wow. After a good stop they do a slow developing pass route.
Turkey leg for you. That comment was so awesome, your goatee grew a bit IN YOUR AVI.
I may be the only "football blogger" in the country tonight watching hockey. LET'S GO RANGERS.
No.
Beamer doesn't have a weakness. At all.
Why?

First? And I just realized that I don't get FS1 and now am just watching the ESPN pregame...
There are some decent sabermetrics for football, and they all deal with the quarterback. None are as good as WAR, which is a great sabermetric with a terrible name (the statistic has nothing to do with wins), but passer rating and total QB rating aren't bad.
Passer rating simply is based on completion percentage, yards, TDs and interceptions. It's good for determining which QBs are best, but not necessarily which QBs are running their offense the best, as QBs in passing offenses will typically have higher ratings.
Total QB rating (QBR) involves situational statistics, such as expected points, pass blocking, receiving, over throws, and clutch situations (how one performs in the redzone in a tie game, 4th quarter). The scoring is 0-100 with 50 being average. It is completely based off film observation and thus has some inherent bias in the viewer awarding the rating. Nevertheless, it is definitely the most comprehensive way to judge a QB. According to ESPN, Logan has a QBR of 49.8, placing him at 86th in the nation. Sadly, that's only one above UVA's David Watford. Furthermore, there are 12 QBs in the ACC better than Logan, with Jameis Winston leading the way (3rd in nation).
Stats don't lie, Logan's only an average QB. His physical skills are at least top 3 in the ACC, but his skills do not translate to being a good QB. Is he the best QB on the team? I don't know, maybe. In terms of draft potential, if I were an NFL GM, I wouldn't even put him on my draftboard. And I love Logan.
I just hope Logan plays a damn good game and shuts me and anyone else who suggested he receive less playing time the hell up. Let's go Hokies!
