Not once in my post did I say Logan was terrible. I do not think that he is a good QB, but terrible...no.
Logan being amongst the top of VT record books has as much to do with his longevity as anything. He'll finish his career with 3+ full seasons under his belt, and is as durable as they come. Looking at his per game statistics as I broke down, one would not expect him to graduate our career leader in passing. Plus, the game has become much more pass centric. Last season, the alternative to throwing was handing off to Michael Holmes...big surprise he threw a lot.
In no way was my inclusion of Glennon's stats advocating anything. I just found it interesting that a guy who most people on this site detest, has a much better career completion percentage and TD/INT ratio than someone who gets defended so passionately that it makes me think he somehow has incriminating pictures of the entire forum.
I do not accept that he puts us in the best position to win games without seeing the alternative. If we know he is going to make mistakes, why do we keep trotting him out there? Does the power running ability, which for the most part has become less and less effective as defenses have adjusted, outweigh all of the turnovers?
Haha. They were pretty vocal about not allowing any of that, but if you had a ref call it on you they were probably just taking their job a bit too seriously.
There were students in nothing but speedos the entire game. If they can brave the weather like that, there aren't many other excuses to leave the game early as a student. Also, I'd say there was a lot higher percentage of students that left the game early than alumni.
That is the same MV7 who said he never watched game film and prepped until he was at Philly under Any R....Just saying

Pride
Persistence
Loyalty
Want me to keep going?
I get your point but he's our best option, if you think otherwise then you really don't understand how a very successful D-1 football program is run. If Leal was a better choice or we had any better option then we'd do it hands down end of discussion.
Let me just say, I hated the nazi-like rules prohibiting chest bumping after a big play in VT Flag Football.

# | Bitter blog - A post-game wrap from the Hokies' 29-21 3 OT win against Marshall thanks for posting I enjoyed that
Is there going to be a thread bashing fans after every home game? We get it.
As a TE? ;)
A small, but dedicated fanbase can be loud. The Noise State Broncos in the 2010 opener were pretty damn loud
I officiated intramurals for a year and let me just say.....
Pump. The. Brakes.
Every time see/hear 3rd and Logan, I think about 3rd and 31 and get a little sad. There is only one LT and it's not Logan Thomas
What I love about him on this play is that he knew exactly what to do with the ball once he got it. No hesitation. Dmitri Knowles needs to take note.
Miami 2009 was also ridiculously loud and it was not just for one big play. It was for the entire game and the rain was worse than today. By far one of the loudest I have heard Lane. I would say those three games are the loudest I can remember.
THIS.
Screw all the guys who left at halftime. We don't need them.
Though it'd sure be nice to get a few more like the diehards that stayed.
1st point LT3 has set QB records for Tech so to say he is terrible I think is a misleading because you dont set records if you are terrible. As to your point about Glennon here is my evidence:
I couldnt find tape of the GT game where he fumbled the ball on two consecutive drives nor do i want to see that again. Nothing against Glennon. He was a game managing QB not a game winning QB.
With LT3 you have to accept the fact that he puts us in the best position to win games and that he is going to make mistakes. Personally I think he is the 2nd best VA Tech QB I have watched behind TT. I didnt become a tech fan until '04 so forgive me for not putting Michael Vick on that list or any of the other qbs there.
It really was louder with less than half the students still there. The "Lets Go" "Hokies" cheer between the North Endzone and the East stands at the end of the game was just as loud as the beginning of the game i felt.
I lost it when we ran out of the shotgun from the 1 yard line. #QBKEEPEREVERYDOWN
Thanks! Can't wait to watch this game when I have a chance.
How quickly some forget...
GO HOKIES, SWAT THE BEES!
As someone who has to work on Saturdays it's really disappointing to see crowds and crowds of people come into Hokie Grill from the game at halftime like the game is over while I'm trying to watch the game on ESPN3 in Pizza Hut. It's like nobody cares about the game anymore. It's just an excuse to drink.
Marshall's QB led the nation in passing last year.....as a sophomore. I don't care what conference you're in, that's impressive. They're a good offense that would give any secondary trouble. I thought overall our defense played well.
Glad you were able to stay the whole game. I threw down some vitamin c and zinc after the game, I'd recommend the same if you're trying to avoid a cold.
Nice post!
I was so sad when Hopkins got tackled. Who doesn't love a lineman scoring a TD? We can only imagine that he has a TD dance to rival BJ Raji. And, having worked as a Rec Sports official, I'm pretty sure we could go up to the South Rec fields and find a better officiating crew.
Logan's completions were 18 out of 34 and Catos were 19 out of 42...Logan has the better completion %. I personally dont mind the picks because he is taking chances and sometimes the pay off you can't just focus on the negative.
