# | Bitter blog - Hokies back in Top 25 but aware of what happened against Pitt last year While I doubt we have the offense for it, I'm not sure our defense couldn't hang about 35 on em. Just leaves another 35 for the offense, and there ya go.

# | Bitter blog - Hokies back in Top 25 but aware of what happened against Pitt last year Danny Coale wouldn't have dropped that 3rd down pass before halftime. ;)
But yeah, he's getting there.
well yeah, we already knew he went to GiT :)
While they've had some luck, they've forced 11 fumbles and have only recovered 3 of them. That's unlucky. They're also 3-9 on field goals, and while none of those misses have swung the outcome of a game it's hard to be that bad kicking FGs.
I don't have last year's numbers through six games, but Bill Connelly's opponent-adjusted numbers had VT's offense 68th last year. They have VT's offense at 91st this year. (I'm not artistic, so if someone wants to make a chart and give proper credit to Bill Connelly and Football Outsiders they're more than welcome.)

I can probably find the stats after 6 games but it's 1 AM and I'm ready for bed. The yards/play this year is down about .3 yards/play which isn't that bad. It should be said that with the defense playing better and allowing fewer points, the offense has been less concerned with trying to pick up large chunks of yards and instead has tried to hold the ball and chew clock. It may be a situation where the stats lie somewhat. The last two games the offense has at least shown extended stretches of excellence before getting bogged down in a hail of sloppy mistakes. The offense has its problems but if Logan's over his early-season yips you can see light at the end of the tunnel.
Mama Giraffe knew. Mama knows best. #goACC
I love one of the comments on that video.
"Calemson ACC Champs
can yall say dat?? oh ok"
Can you spell?
Beat me to the third down defense joke...not fair
How does phreak only have 123 turkey legs???!!!
Ill throw a number out there #1 3rd down defense...let that sink in
Does this assume that their fans actually show up at Lane Stadium North?
They had something like 38k attendance at Ball State. This, of course was at the start of the game. I'm sure by mid-third quarter, it was down to like 25k. I saw a shot of the stands during their broadcast Saturday, and it looked like their spring game.
Plus, if you can't get a ticket through the lottery, it's not hard to get one from someone who did get one.
I read the article in today's paper, and noted some of the things you mentioned. Some thoughts:
1. We in the lesser Charlottesville area can always tell how well the hoos are doing (in football) by how early the advertisements for basketball tickets start to air on tv. Oct 1 is generally the go date.
2.
They both stink but one is slightly less offensive.
...thats just plain 'ol funny!
3.
Wah!hoo
Innovative spelling! I hope you don't mind if I use that sometime.
4. Bud's catch phrase should make every man who has ever played defense want to sign up and run through a wall for him.
5. Even MAC teams can smell fresh meat.
6. There is already a guy who has a twitter account named Fire Steve Fairchild (@UVAOCStinks).
But horses and treadmills fit perfectly!
I....I just cant stop watching
I just want to say that Auburn's loss is Va Tech's gain...Grimes and Loeffler oh and this:
Re: the "orange crush" thing....somebody actually had t-shirts printed up with this on them. I hope they don't mind holding inventory.

# | Bitter blog - Hokies back in Top 25 but aware of what happened against Pitt last year Andy, I just wanted to personally thank you for the fantastic coverage and prolific content that you put out year-round. You seem to eat, drink and breath Hokie football, and always have an article, interview or update for us. You've made Hokie football that much better for us all.
Mason thanks for the excellent write up.
only to set up the Double Pass
And ML's response would be "Leave me alone, I gotta see how many time outs we have left!"
There was a rumor at Florida that Harvin was homesick after his freshman year and considered transferring to VT. I think we could have found a few plays for him whether he was new to the playbook or not.
1. I imagine this is the same for UNC and Duke as well. Sucks to be them.
2. I like the classics
3. Yah, use it as much as you want. But credit goes to my grandpa, a VT grad of '39, who told me during my first visit to Charlottesville "If they're losing then they cry WAH! like a baby and if they're winning then they yell WAH!HOO! So it works for both, but mostly for the first one". Classic grandpa joke.
4. Agreed 100%. I ran through my obligatory wall this morning after just writing the words.
5. I would term LOLUVA as a rotting carcass myself.
6. GOLD
