It's more of a dig at them calling the Hokie Bird a "castrated turkey." Matter of fact, that just happened with me 20 minutes ago on Facebook.
So I come back with this...
I'd go with Jack's Pizza and Wings in Fourth Ward. We stumbled across it while in ATL for that other game earlier this year. Soul Food Pizza (Mashed Potatos with Gravy, fried chicken, and collard greens), Chili Dog Pizza, and some of the best wings I've ever eaten (I got the sriracha and Teriyaki). Not to mention great drink specials, I think we got Killians Pitchers which were $10.
This! I am no pro but I don't understand why we aren't running more out of the I-formation or other power running formations. This was our identity on offense. I still believe we are trying to blend too many things instead of having a true identity on offense. In my opinion, the single back counters have always been big for us and running out of the I with a fullback (especially with Sam Drago Rogers) to lead block. Our O-line is having trouble consistently blocking well enough to allow the RB get to the line of scrimmage without having to break a tackle or dodge a defender.
I was pleasantly surprised by the # of read & veer options we ran during the course of the game. Watching live it didn't seem like we ran option that often, but part of that was probably the extra plays in OT that adding to the tally.
Really happy to see veer & inverted veer mixed up in the same game.
I'm sure he's not being offensive considering it's a well known line in a movie.
Mid-pack C-USA or MAC team? Maybe. There's no way that we'd drop a division, or even a subdivision, teams just don't do that.
Come on
There are currently at least 2 now. They have about 6 or 7 people that do it.
I know at least 2 of our Hokie Birds were female and in the last 5-8 years.
So long gay boooooyyyysssss!
Maybe that's why ESPN hates us. We're making all of their media darlings look bad by comparison. You can either have great graduation rates but sub par football(which doesn't sell) or great football(which makes E$ECPN salivate) but sub par graduation rates. Or you can go to VT and get good, solid, exciting football AND an education. Tough choice.
Well since we didn't beat Bama, I think the only thing left to do is reclaim the ACC for us. First victim: the other Tech
Apparently Georgia Tech is already upset, because....Sam Rogers
Beamer is the man.
Because as far as ESPN is concerned they think we're going to end up going 4-8 and are a disgrace to the conference because, well, Marshall and ECU. Well that and giraffes don't know much about football.
Good link Shibe.
Excerpt for those unwilling to give ESPN traffic:
Because much of the book is critical, I also wanted a positive example. Your columnist spent most of the 2011 season with the Virginia Tech football team, a season that culminated in a BCS bowl game. Virginia Tech has big-time football in perspective -- 20 consecutive winning seasons coupled to a football graduation rate of 77 percent, versus 55 percent for Division I as a whole. Perhaps you think, "That's because Virginia Tech has Frank Beamer, a decent human being. Decent human beings are in short supply in coaching." Beamer is a factor -- but so is the way the Virginia Tech football experience is structured. "The King of Sports" shows that what the Hokies do to combine victory with players throwing their caps into the air at commencement could be done at any university that meant what it said about the term "student-athlete."
ESPECIALLY since the few times we did run out of singleback, it kinda worked.
yeah that's the point.
How is either team on upset alert? This game could go either way, I don't see how either could get upset.
I'm pretty sure some of our "Hokie Bird" pilots are female...there's a good chance that's the same for the bee
yeah, what could be more shameful for someone than being female?
Damn! Beat me too the "Techmo Bowl" suggestion!
i got ya
David Wang played like his arm was numb for the second half.
Those marathon sessions of pwning n00bs on Call of Duty 'll get after ya.
Those four wins are the only ones stretching back to 1990, making Georgia Tech the UVA of this rivalry.
And...
All hail the GIF
