I think it's interesting that The Neck hasn't posted anything today...I think she's probably really upset that she picked GT. Now she's falling further behind AA on her picks record. She can at least take solace in the fact that she 'predicted' the upset with her upset watch article....that should make her feel better

@VT_Football: dance moves in the locker room from Coach Beamer! http://t.co/76yKXxelYG///For those asking, this does NOT run in family— Shane Beamer (@CoachSBeamer) September 27, 2013
I think if a team is stacking the box then why not throw the ball and run the qb delay? They are basically daring Logan to beat them with his arm; if the receivers make plays, we will win.
Not sure I like the caption

Michigan State would be nice.
And Bruton has never met a dollar he doesn't like...
There were talks about timing it so WHEN the scoring pylon would be replaced and down, they could play the game.
But I'm sure Weaver would do something silly like make it an 11am kickoff. On a Monday.

# | Tell everyone about yourself; when/how did you become a Hokie? Somehow I never saw this thread until today...
I became a Hokie when I ignored my HS guidance counselor's advice and followed my sister to VT, and maybe even before that. She was a CS major, starting school in 1999, and was the first in our family to go to VT. Naturally, we jumped right into the Blacksburg culture and watched all the football games on TV, went down for Family Weekend most years, etc. I loved the place. The recommendation from my HS guidance counselor was to go to JMU, because "they have a great science program." True, they had an expensive new building, but I wasn't impressed overall, so when I got my acceptance letter to VT that was it.
During my freshman year, I was taught all of the traditions by my brother-in-law, who was on campus for one more year to finish his Master's. He took me to a couple of games (2003, when seating assignments we REALLY lax) and made sure I knew when and how to cheer. That had a lasting impact and I was always one of the most intense people you will find in the stands.
Likes? My wife (a wonderful Hokie alum like myself), my dogs (who rock O&M collars and bandanas during the season), guitars and playing music (duh), the Baltimore Orioles, Macs, Linux, and teaching myself different programming languages (Perl, C, C++, and Python because I'm a dork), and apparently the extensive use of parenthesis (why, I don't know)
Let me begin this by saying I never said Logan should be benched on this site. I never said he wasn't our best option. All of my criticism of him comes from a pro-hokie place in wanting us to put the best product on the field and prior to last night, we weren't doing that and I felt his poor play had a lot to do with it. I know we've had trouble at wr and the line hasn't played as well as they did vs bama but that doesn't mean that his lack of production was completely attributed to that. So here goes....
I'm not basing anything off stats alone. I didn't mention any stats in my post and I haven't mentioned stats in previous posts on this site. I based my criticism off of the eye test - poor decision making in both the passing and running game, his constant staring down of receivers, constant throws into double and triple coverage, interceptions, how hesitant/indecisive he was, poor mechanics, poor reads, and lack of improvement from one week to the next.
Are you seriously going to say that you've been pleased with his play and that he doesn't deserve some of the criticism he got due to his poor individual play? Give me a break man. Besides, he played well last night and I gave him his props - what more do you want?
With a turnover margin of 3-0, that was a great game plan by Loeffler. A ball control offense isn't the prettiest, but when it's well execute, it wins games for you.
I'm with you, all game long I kept beggin Logan to give the ball to JCC when he was in there. Surprisingly he didn't listen to my suggestion. Next time I'll try and give ole Lefty a holler.
I'm just glad Lefty saw that our running game wasn't working and decided to call more pass plays. He threw a run in to give it a shot and keep the defense on its heels, but he stuck with what was working. I hate to bash, but in previous years we would've kept trying to run for little or no gain.

# | BREAKING NEWS: According to the Hoos, UVA has a better defense than Tech. You know they watch our games to see what real football is, right?
THE SEC blogger keeps it real. Acknowledges Logan's shortcomings and then praises his good play. No mentions of the "U", or 7-6 last season. Since he reports on the SEC, he had a very even, open minded VA Tech analysis. It IS actually worth a read.
Yes, I was more speaking of this season. But yea, he may be part of the blame for the Sugar Bowl even though we should have never been in that position in the first place.
I was going on the sabre last night just to have a good laugh and they didn't disappoint. Every time we'd stop GT, they would post things like "VT keeps getting lucky". hahaha.
I know it's early, and there are many challenges ahead, but let's just take this in for a moment:
For today, all is right with the world.
He may not of handled it the best way, but what do you expect of a college student that is receiving death threats after a tough couple of weeks. It is not like he wants to miss his field goals. I'm assuming his goal is to make it in the NFL which you have to be perfect in the NCAA to do so.

# | BREAKING NEWS: According to the Hoos, UVA has a better defense than Tech. Nah, they're going to be too busy fudging their t-tests trying to prove that the Oregon game was a statistical outlier and they've really only given up 8 ppg because the Oregon game shouldn't count.
I refuse to give them page clicks but I'll take your word for it
Yes, it is not who we are as a program, but I don't think a traditional running attack is who we are as a team this season either. We don't have the line play that we had the past decade, nor the dynamic "put the team on my back" running backs that we have been spoiled with every year up to last. We just didn't recruit as well as we should have. We will see it in the next coming years when Lefty and Grimes recruits come through. They have stated time and time again that they want to base the offense off a power running attack, but they just cannot do that right now with the personnel.
Mama Girraffe writing about ACC football is like Hoo fans writing about their team having a better defense. Both are pee-wee league at best. Both think they are writing about football. But both are far from legit or correct....
See I'm a Redskins fan and I just know we're going to be bad most every year
Classless all around. Beamer needs to to have another talk with this kid.
You're exactly right. Exam wasn't even that hard. We would've blown them out if I kept taking shots. So far #shots =#TDs.
