STOP THE PRESSES. MIKE LONDON JUST CALLED A TIMEOUT WHEN HIS TEAM IS TRAILING AND THE OPPONENT IS TRYING TO RUN OUT THE CLOCK. WHAT IS THIS MADNESS?

I have lived here for 7 years now. I can count the number of Clemson fans that were classy on one hand. The group we tailgated beside at last years game in Clemson was very kind to us. The rest have been far and few between. I don't want to hate them. They just give me so many reasons every single day. Living next to Clemson for a time, it's just completely different than I was used to in Virginia. I can take some back and forth with anyone, and it's all in good fun and laughing together, messing around. The vast majority of Clemson fans are just assholes. When I am driving home from work, and a bunch of guys in a rusted out truck are hanging out their window yelling at me because I have a VT and hokieprints on the back of my car, yeah, that sums it up.

Hard to say I'm disappointed with eight sacks. But it's been mentioned a lot in post game quotes, we could have had eight more. I could understand Cato and Williams getting away from the pressure, but Savage was dead to rights many times and we simply just didn't make the play. That's got to get better. The only solution I can think of is that instead of trying to run through the QB and make the big hit, we need to break down in front of him and just bring him down when he tries to make a move.

The run game was again disappointing and Logan had some questionable throws, but still the offense looked better than they have at other times this year.

The D was amazing. Savage is a good QB and we made him look pretty average today and they never had a run game going. That D continues to impress me every week.

Overall, with this team, and win is a win. I never expect it to be pretty. But they always find a way to pull it out.

This made me laugh...

Just once I want to see/hear Corso say "not so fast my friend"...explain his side...and then say "suck it, Kirk!"

In all fairness, Kirk is actually pretty good/fair. He even picks against his tOSU from time to time.

It doesn't take a lot of research by him, or the interns or whoever is researching for them, to see what our inconsistencies are. If he had watched every game he would see that this team was never really in danger of losing the past two games (and even ECU to an extent). Each and every game including today's (17-10, 27-17, 19-9) don't look great when you look at scores and even the stats sheet, but if he watched them he would know that the hokies manhandled each team but their offensive inconsistencies have held them back.The only game I was really biting my nails for was marshall.

Kirk picked us for upset of the week and I stand by what I said--it is a safe pick for a reporter who consistently picks against the hokies, and the acc in general. Obviously we have to earn the respect that we want to see, but I think there were better teams to put on upset alert than this team we saw today. But here are 3 upset of the weeks in no particular order, that I was thinking of today:

Georgia v Missouri
Clemson v BC
Texas v Oklahoma

but picking a 24 ranked team to lose to an unranked team, where the unranked team owned the matchup for the past 13 years, just seems a bit easy to me.
