I just got to reading this thread. Once I read "coconut" this is EXACTLY what I thought. You have stolen my heart and won at life. I applaud your excellence.
The best was when Roy created the automated system by just recording that little three sentence loop. Then his mom calls and messes it up haha
I was there too and I remember that. I left that game without a voice and I dont think I could speak for a week.
I'll be there at the Miami game too!
There's also a statistic that 100% of people who believe your stat are gullible.
Disagree. I view it as a legitimate football play in an attempt to jar the ball loose, which I think it was if it had been reviewed. If he doesn't lead with the helmet, as Kyshoen didn't, I have no issue with it. He lowers the boom with his shoulder to try to make a play for his team. Absolutely no issue with that whatsoever.
That's not true - when Beamer teams score over 40 it's primarily due to two factors - scoring on the short field aided by defensive turnovers, and high overall drive effectiveness (i.e sustained drives end in points). One of our main scoring deficiencies this year is inability to convert turnovers into points (see the ECU game, three interceptions, zero points). And the first half of the UNC game showed we are capable of sustaining drives that end in scores - 21 points off of three scoring drives. All we need to do is put it together for a whole game.
Same here, thanks for bumping
unfortunately, "stick it in" was banned before I was ever a student. However I appreciate its impact and originality, and am deeply saddened that I will never get to experience the real thing as a student (unless it is miraculously resurrected by the athletic department before the next three games). Still, I agree that if it cant be done right it shouldn't (Not to take anything away from those that do... keep on keeping on), but the beat/rhythm/tempo needed to properly execute the chant are only really at their best when coming from the MV Drumline. They are the backbone that kept the rest of the students in time, and without them most (not all) attempts are sloppy and fall short of the precedent that student-sections of years past left as their legacy.
I'd prefer they be called the "Duo of Destruction" to go along with our Fab 5.
ouch
pure beauty
KJ's vs Marshall
For those who can't see youtube vids at work:
Also, there were several times when Savage barely escaped the rush. Did you evaluate those?
-if I evaluated every time VT got pressure Id be up all night. I narrowed it to just sacks.
Or the producers told May to cram it and give Dadi the sticker.
That was a pretty good breakdown of the sacks Savage took and the time it took our D to apply pressure on each play. Hats off to Justin for conducting what had to have been a very painful exercise.
I also took the time to read all of the comments - the whole thing is well worth the time to read.
The current running game needs more than a pointer or two if that in fact is even happening. I don't think Hite is at practices anymore or on the sidelines. Also worried the running game struggles are going to have a short term negative impact on RB recruiting. We'll see. Beat Duke!
A savage beating...I see what you did there
And I like it!!
I agree to a degree. To be an elite team, you need elite athletes on both sides of the ball. On defense, VT has elite athletes in the form of Gayle, Nicolas, Jarrett, Kyle, Kendall, and Facyson. On Offense, Logan... and that's it. And Logan is not a game-breaker in the open field. So essentially, there is not a single player on offense who has a chance to score a TD anytime that ball gets in his hands (Think of Wilson, Royal, Coale, Williams, Tyrod, MV7, Davis). If VT had that player on offense, they would get more TDs, especially from 20+ yds. But instead, they have to have methodical drives averaging 12 plays or more. It's hard to be perfect for 12 plays, thus the inefficiency on offense. One false start, one missed block, one dropped ball, and you're behind the sticks. Considering these facts, I think Loeffler is doing an amazing job. And I predict, once he has a few elite athletes on the offensive side of the ball, you'll see VT scoring 40 pts, whether Beamer likes it or not.
Visiting my parents to drink German style home brew and eat German food! It's an Oktoberfest party and I made one of the beers. A few friends are even coming along. Going to be a fun weekend. And it is not a coincidence that this is happening on a bye week. My parents are Hokies, too.
