# | Bitter blog - Exum to decide status Thursday; coaches weigh in on run game struggles They were running the same play again and again more to prove a point then lack of options.

# | Bitter blog - Exum to decide status Thursday; coaches weigh in on run game struggles After UNC muffed the punt late, Virginia Tech was bound and determined to run the ball. The Hokies put in a sixth lineman, inserting Shuman at left tackle and shifting Jonathan McLaughlin to the other side essentially as a tight end. They ran the ball straight ahead six straight times before Trey Edmunds got into the end zone on a 1-yard touchdown run.
Same formation, same play, and just kept running it over and over again, Shane said.
I think there are certain times where you feel like you just need to do that, Grimes said. Yeah, we felt like that was a time when we certainly needed to and end the game, running the football and scoring a touchdown. And fortunately we were able to do it.
Question for French (and anyone else): How many plays are in a typical BCS-level college playbook? It's is unusual for a team to run the same play six times in a row?

# | Bitter blog - Exum to decide status Thursday; coaches weigh in on run game struggles Shane was confident Rogers would be able to play this week. He said he looked out his window Monday morning at 7 a.m. and saw Rogers running sprints on an empty practice field
Classic Rogers.
Does anyone else think, based on this description, that Bucky may find a role as a situational QB? I'm thinking along the lines of Blake Bell's role at OK.
Agreed. I've complained about that countless times, but it doesn't look like any change is coming. It's unfortunate because that's the only logical way to encourage people to go to games.
Dude has tons of potential, people seem to forget that he was as a 4 star and ranked as the 171 overall player by rivals and the number 10 pro style QB and was 114 overall and the number 4 dual threat QB by 247. Regardless, I think he will be a star wherever he ends up, although I hope it's at QB.
HDubya and I drink Bud Fosters before every game, encouraged by whoever gave the idea on the "What do you drink on Gameday" thread. We say a prayer (you think I'm joking, but we actually stand there and say stuff like "Thank you oh great Bud for all you have given us.") and pass around the "holy water" to everyone at the tailgate.
Some UNC fan watched us do it on Saturday and thought it was hilarious.

My buddy has worn the same outfit for 5 years for every single game, home and away. Rain pants, long sleeved '09 orange effect shirt, '09 cassell guard shirt on top. He plays enter sandman as he passes lane on 460. He folds his ticket up the same way, and until this year, walked to Owens, ate, walked back home, then walked to the game.

I remember a QB from the 2001 Class nearly everyone wrote off during his first year. It was believed to be a sure bet that he was moving to Safety because he didn't have the arm strength to play QB. Well, he worked very hard on getting stronger and became the starting QB during the LSU game in 2002. He became one of the most popular players ever to play for Tech. His name was Bryan Randall.
The moral of the story is don't write anyone off too early in their career because they might just prove you wrong.

Sticking to Bulleit because we are 2-0 with a bulleitdozer
That's my gripe with the basketball tickets. They preach about needing students to go to the games, but don't reward the loyal students. I had a group that got tickets for 4 straight years, with progressively worse seats. It just sucks how they treat those who are loyal to the sports programs (minus the fact that we get season tix at severly discounted prices).
Yeah that sounds about right. A lot of Hokies fans have this deep rooted disdain for stinespring and were beside themselves when he was still on staff. IMHO stiney is valuable in his own right but he just wasn't cut out to be a coordinator. O'Cain, Newsome, and Sherman were the real weak links in the staff. Logan didn't know what progressions were. That's on O'Cain. Receivers didn't know how to block. That's on Sherman. O line was way under developed. That's on Newsome. Stiney was (rightfully so) held responsible for their shortcomings and he should have done something about it and never did. But I think Beamer made the right call by keeping him on staff in a position he can handle.
Louisville and the points. Rutgers is just not good (Hooray B1G!)
Virginia Tech - Getting the points and winning big. Offense puts it together this week!
Oklahoma - Stoops is obnoxious, but at least he's not Mack Brown.
Florida gets points, LSU gets the game
Oregon - Points and game, just can't pick against those blond cheerleaders
Texas A&M - and a few more points, would be more, but their D still sucks (read: I haven't actually payed attention to them since they lost to Bama to know any different)
Still on the water train, will be day 20 on my whole 30.
I think the bottom 10 is reserved for the worst teams that aren't expected to be bad. Everyone knows loluva has been a doormat since Welsh retired
$7 a ticket isn't too much by itself, but it's hard for some to justify when they're basically guaranteed to get one for free to every game. You can totally sit with the same people every game sans season tickets as well. You just have to send one person to pick up all the tickets at once (this is the way you're supposed to do it), that said, you can pretty much just go sit with whoever you want to sit with at games anyway. Last year at the UVA game, one guy did check our tickets, and make us move to our assigned seats, but only because some people who came 10 minutes into the game couldn't find seats and went to the ticket guys about the fact that there were people in their assigned seats.
David Wilson was MUCH better his last two seasons- so the former it would seem.
So $7 a ticket to each game is too much? Come on now. Be realistic. If you want the same seat to the games and the ability to sit with the same people at all times, $7 is worth it. I'm not saying you should buy the tickets, but to say that $7 per game is too much, you're being ridiculous.
If the shirt actually said "Loosing." instead of "Losing." That would make it that much better, except for that shirt would not have been made by a Hoo, so I hope it was the correct word.
I love everything I'm seeing here, from Rogers' dedication, Grimes and Moorehead really analyzing their guys, to Jarrett's self-evaluation, and everything else. Hard work will pay off, we've just got to keep it up.
