I want the Hokies to be winner at the end of the day. That means chaos across today's slate of games, and LOLUVa losing
I will drop everything that I am doing with my life to turn these into things.
"So close to success I can almost smell it...and it smells like a 6-6 season."
This is my favorite comment. Even the London haters are delusional. Six wins would be an amazing feat at this point. If they don't win today they will most likely finish the season with two wins. No sir, it smells like a steamy pile of dog shit!
Awww SNAP! +1
Edit for that particular line: "Do you think the French gave up in 1940 when the Nazis were invading their country? Yes, yes they did and so should we. There are more important things than fighting over an oddly shaped ball. Prime example, making sure I pair the right wines at my dinner party tonight. Last summer the Montgomery's paired a sauvignon blanc with a filet mignon, how embarrassing.
It's not the first time this year Duke Johnson has had to leave a football game because of a probable concussion. The Miami medical staff needs to keep a very close eye on this young man, particularly over the next several days, and should probably keep him out of their next game.
Agreed MichSt recruiting is on the rise, but you could say that about LOLUVA too. But you are right about beating them, but I think that has more to do with Michigan having a low period than MichSt consistently beating them. My overall point was just the relationship to Michigan St to Michigan is similar to LOLUVA to VT, not the MichSt is a laughing stock like LOLUVA.
Nope. UVA won in '11 to interrupt that streak of 3.
Still, 1 out of 5 ain't good.
Fire London...Hire Petrino HAHAHAHA
If you use USNews as a metric (mainly because it's easy to access), then on average, our academics outperform theirs.
That's what I thought. Good classes when you consider there are 120 schools.

Hard to believe that he came to Tech as a QB. That's one position switch that I'm sure he doesn't regret.
That Herd rant is one of the best ever, I don't care who you are.
Here are the facts of the current season, UVa has 55 freshman and sophomores out of 85 scholarships, and they have 28 players who have made their college debuts this year. Virginia also has started four true freshmen, and only has seven scholarship seniors on the entire team. Many people are tired of hearing about a young team, but the reality is they are a young team.
I mean, that's a really good point. It's really hard to win a bunch of games if you play a bunch of freshman and sophomores. I couldn't even think of a team that won a lot of games this year playing 10-12 underclassmen on a regular basis...*Sarcasm*
it's all about out of conference games .. big ones ... miami beat florida, clemson beat georgia. we played alabama much closer than the score indicates (and it shows by the love that espn is starting to give us).
if fsu beats florida and clemson can handle south carolina this season .. and an acc team getting to the mnc game, acc is back. hate to admit, but i'm glad the U came back the other night and won. having more zero and one loss teams helps our perception even more.
my preferred sequence of events...
..even though #DaboIsADouche -- clemson beats fsu in a close one
..miami beats fsu
..we beat miami
..we beat clemson in the acccg
..that kind of SoS, with our only loss coming to bama ... i know i dream -- but stranger shit has happened.
let's worry about curb-stomping duke first, eh?
Also from "Coaches Wife:"
You are exactly what every athlete and coach hates....you think you know everything and probably have never played one down of football in your life, let alone at a college level.
Um... you're a coach's WIFE. You haven't either.
Average class rating 2011-13, according to Rivals:
VT: 26
UVA: 26.667
I'm in the Navy, but my site is run by the Department of Energy ('nucular' stuff...)
The acronym "W.I.N." used by the safety folks if you encounter dangerous situations is "Warn, Isolate, Notify". This could be an alternative to "what's important now" applied to our DL or backers when approaching the back field.
As the guy in the LED bulb commercial said, "Goodnight, sweet prince..." [to tom savage]
They are good at uncovering things and catching people in the act, but I agree football is out of their normal sphere.
At the same time, the conversation about the SEC (at least prior-to and early streak) was always accompanied by how they beat each other up (because they're all so good), and that was how the survivor of the gauntlet made it to #1/#2 (or in a position to get lucky). And while the "garbage" of the SEC was rolling over in conference just like in ACC or B1G, they were still consistently beating their out of conference opponents.
...just playing devil's advocate.
I don't know, compare these two hypothetical performances, and eventually gusto is going to match its meet:
Miami: "after throwing four interceptions and being unable to stop Eric Ebron"
Hokies: "after throwing ZERO interceptions and being ABLE to stop Eric Ebron"
sorry - I had to down vote you. Writing such an eloquent defense of "literature on television" CANNOT include TWO grammatical/vocabulary errors.
"Walter White is a "good" guy who gets caught up in circumstances of his own making whereby his decisions to delve deeper are more often then (should be than) not done for what he feels are righteous reasons. You don't have to root for him. It's obvious which direction he is headed but his decent (should be descent) is what makes it so fascinating because of the very fact that he is at his core a common, "good" man.
Otherwise, I could not agree more with your defense. It is nearly Bud-esque.
uh... Thanks, I think...
Down voting for grammar is not cool, but thanks for the the compliment on my eloquent defense.
I wrote that at nearly 3:30 AM my time after a long flight and work all day, so I'm comfortable with my mistakes.
