Well the Hokies are 1-1 and I am .500 so things are looking right on track for a mediocre, middle of the road, super meh, .500 record for me. For the Hokies, I hope they do better than my picks. Apparently there is a game in College Station this weekend that people are interested in. College Station was the breakout place for my favorite quaterback eva of the Hokies, Bryan Randall. This game, held in 2002 was a truly great, low scoring game that was the coming out party (no, not that way, that I know of). Anyway, its now the scene of Johnny Football v/s Little Nikki Saban. The more people hate on Johnny, the more I love him. I don't care if we loss to Bama, our D basically dominating their O was great, but completing 5 passes and punting 28,354 times in the 4th quarter shows we are not in the same league. I hope aTM crushes them and Johnny Manziel snorts a line of Nick Saban's bare ass at midfield at the end of the game. We will see, on to the picks.

Nebraska
I don't think the "black shirts" are a better team, but when is the last time a college kid was excited to go out and do anything but drink or sleep (or whatever OK ST recruits do) at 9:00am on a Saturday. This is what UCLA has to do. Taylor Martinez is now in his 12 year and just may now have a grasp of the offense. Bo Pelini, once the savior, is probably the third or fourth best coach in the state. All signs point to UCLA but I think the start time and the corn get the better of them.

ECU
I cannot get the '08 game out of my head. The QB who shall not be named really shined, as did the rest of the team. ECU had a 47yr old QB named Pickney or something like that. I still have nightmares about him. Playing ECU sucks. Good thing we only have to do it for 738 more years. Also, I have been to Greenville, it sucks. I sometimes wish people I hate would have to move there. I am sorry if I am offending anyone reading this but I have been there and I hated it. Our offense looked okay against WCU. When you can't beat the 5th best team in Tennessee by 50, you got issues. We got issues.

Oregon
Tennessee is on the way back, Oregon has never left. Also, Oregon covers all the time. I think I heard that or maybe I heard they never cover. Whatevs, I am going with the ducks.

Alabama
I want Johnny Football to win so Alabama will win and cover. I imagine within 3 seconds of the broadcast, Gary Danielson will proclaim the winner of this game, even if they lose the rest of their games, should be in the NC game. He is that good. If you a not following the @JohnnyFootball twitter account, please do so.

Ole Miss
Texas is still Texas. Mack Brown will soon be firing assistants on other teams, once he runs out of assistants to blame. Sadly no one will see this game as it is on the Longhorn Network. Who knew the one time CFB fans would want this channel is to see the ticking time bomb that is Texas.

ASU
Bruce Feldman says Todd Graham is an asshole so I will take his word for it. I have DirecTV so I do not have the Pac12 network and have not seen ASU play yet. It doesn't matter b/c it is the hot girl pic and I have to go with that, it hasn't let me down yet.

These picks are brought to you by Leavenworth Lager. No, not the Leavenworth in Kansas, but Leavenworth, WA. It's a small town in the Cascade Mountains that is built like a German mountain town and they have a lot of German type breweries. This beer is actually brewed in Olympia but I didn't realize that till I had already bought it. It is a good, light lager and somewhat local.

Go Hokies!

Weird... Enter Sandman kept playing as the team ran onto the field... music used to cut out as the players ran out of the tunnel.

does anyone know a website to stream the game. I've got Internet but no cable this weekend never thought no cable would be this big of a deal. worst timing ever

I mean if you're (not your) going to represent an entire university in a tweet, at least know the difference between "their, there, and they're" and not make yourself look like an idiot

Is this a video from Charles Barkley's youth?

Just thinking here.....we got Box, we got Billdozer & MStrawther (hope I spelled that right...it's late). That's like a professional ad agency right there....we can do the ad...all we have to have is the means to get it up on that gorgeous 1080p humongoboard in the stadium. Be a great place to advertize horse on a treadmill shirts....TKP's logo...let your imagination run wild!

Should be an interesting two weeks. Back to back games against high powered offenses. I think we'll win both, but decisive wins would go a long way towards building confidence in the ACC games.

Also, anyone who sees an idiot wearing a Virginia Tech helmet at Sharkey's tomorrow for the game. That's me. Feel free to stop by and say hi.

VT has NEVER pulled an offer because of injury...consequently, the Pitt Critic below is full of shit.

Pro Tip: Buy an old NHL game for any console and play it for a few days. Not only will you begin to get the rules but you will have a basic understanding of the game.

Also, go watch the Hokies play in Roanoke. Worth every penny ($5 bucks) and they sell beer. I did both of those and now I am addicted to hockey.

Reminds me of my last trip there with my friend. He has a ponytail (not sure what he is protesting, but anyway), and there was this ECU fan (lady) who got so frustrated that we were winning, that she claimed that the ACC referees were making all calls in VT's favor. We ignored her, and kept on cheering. at some point. she threatened that she was going to cut off my buddy's ponytail.

Anybody going down to ECU please be careful - all of the ECU fans I have encountered have been mostly friendly but there are nut-jobs...

That sucks, I hope everything turns out well for him.

I feel like a dick for asking this, but if he did blow out his knee, does this mean we take away our offer? I'm assuming not because it sounds very un-Beamer-like to revoke it.

I've always thought it would be kinda funny, hypothetically speaking, to teach a kid the colors wrong. I didn't realize there were parents out there actually that twisted.
