Lane is unbelievably loud during night games. Oh, wait...
I would actually put Tech higher.
Another excellent preview Mason.
I think that should be 8/20 for the rest of the game, which is certainly not sharp enough.
These. Are. Awesome. I really wish there was actually a possibility of these happening :(
One thing I've noticed is how much Logan looks like he's enjoying himself out there. It's how he looked in 2011. Last year, he showed mostly negative emotion and seemed to get in his own head, never really picking himself up. A leader has to have the strength to pull the team back up and he couldn't do it to himself last year. It's nice to see that change.
Andrea Adelbrain isn't much better than Neck.
The most awesome place on the internet.
I miss 'ol Al....I understand he's doing color commentary for the mothership on really bad games on ESPN3 now....I can only imagine that listeners are ripping their ears off or turning the volume off to combat this.

# | Bitter blog - Loeffler irked by mistakes; Foster by short week, ESPN writer To me the best story of a QB keeping his cool is Joe Montana in Super Bowl XXIII, where they were down in points on the last drive of the game and on their own 8 yard line. He strolls into the huddle and makes a joke about John Candy. Then they drive 92 yards for game winning touchdown. That's the epitome of a leader on the field. Eye of the Hurricane bitches. Intense players, like Tom Brady, will win but leaders that can manage their team's anxiety will become legend.
I like how Logan is keeping a smile on his face and also getting in the face of his teammates. No he is not Joe Cool but he is a much better leader this year.
I would like to see us start the halves off with not 3 and out series for a change.
I prefer the stone on these to the ones posted of the real helmet so far. Much better looking and allows the maroon to pop in the logos. I think I still prefer the Pylon logo over this one but its a sharp looking helmet none the less.
Can someone please post a new username and password? This one doesnt work anymore.
I feel like I should point out that giraffes are bigger and stronger than antelope. And their long necks allow them to see predators coming from father away. And giraffes seem to want to survive more. And they..... wait, what am I saying? Bud isn't a tiger, he's a turkey! Huge difference.
So many moving parts. I usually have trouble figuring out what's going on, who has the ball, and if we have someone in position to make the tackle. I'll think some B back running to the outside untouched has the ball but then realize the QB kept it and he just got leveled. This is pretty much my reaction on those plays:
I predict Journell gets a chip on his shoulder and relearns his ability to concentrate in the clutch.
GT scores early then the new D players get the physical hang of what they've been taught. O-line makes some holes on the first series and VT starts with 3.
Endgame is the GT QB gets tired by the end of the 3rd Q and GT offense stalls.
CB and LB get at least 1 INT and good field position.
Our bigger, more athletic QB spreads passes and rushing around so we're fresher at the end of the game.
23 or 26 pts for VT and a win.
3 or 4 field goals, a D or ST Touchdown and an offensive TD.
that would look awesome
Here is another good reason I want us to win. I will be a Hokie fan for as long as I live and if can get close to lasting 104 years on this planet in my physical form, then that would be awesome. RIP Franklin (was that his name?)
Yes I agree. I tried to caution people earlier against hoping for an offensive explosion in this game. I don't understand why people are just waiting for Loeffler to unleash some offensive machine against GT. Our offense is in the midst of rebuilding, and that is a process that takes a long time. I think our O will struggle all year long but it will improve slowly and steadily. I think 2016 will be a magical year for us, but for right now we're struggling to install a new system and asking a handful of TE's to run our offense from unnatural positions.
Once "Lefty" (still not sure if he's actually left-handed or not) starts getting the recruits he needs for his system and gets some younger players to learn the system and begin mastering it in their junior and senior seasons I believe we'll be able to put a pretty effective offense on the field. I just don't see that happening against GT.
I am still cautiously optimistic though, and I'm hoping to see our O move the ball and get some points. It would be TERRIFIC to see more than 2 offensive TD's for a change.
if we can kick field goals, there is plenty of hope!
Good Day Mate!
Wow, I feel a lot better about our chance's now.
I think that Kendall and Facyson are the two players to watch on VT's defense tonight. Yes, the primary action will involve the VT front 7, and Jack Tyler will have double-digit tackles, but Kendall and Facyson are going to be asked to shut down a decent pass attack with no safety support, as well as maintain leverage on the outside of the field and make tackles against the pitch man.
GT's WR's are big and athletic. I do believe that Kendall and Facyson will be able to run with them in coverage, but I am concerned about their ability to get off blocks. Tonight will be a very physical test for them.
Bonner is another player to watch, as he will be playing close to the line of scrimmage tonight and his tackling has been very suspect the last few weeks.
If Kendall and Facyson shut down the passing game, and consistently make tackles on the perimeter, I think we win this game. I'm confident in our ability to shut down the dive. If GT is completing passes, our CBs are getting blocked out of the play, and Bonner does not improve his tackling, I'll be concerned.
