I absolutely love it. Good work.
I remember in past years that it was hard getting through the gates the first few games even if you got there fairly early. Don't know if they were just slow getting tickets scanned or if it was when everyone got there. But still no excuse for leaving early. I never left a game with more than 5 minutes left as a student.
Sadly, they forgot Vince and Corey.
By our reckoning (and counting his redshirt year), Logan has been on the team for 39 wins.
Minus the leaving early, i didnt see many paper airplanes this time...plus the student sections of the stadium (north and east) were packed BY enter sandman. The thing that pisses me off the most was people being late for sandman last year/ missing the start of the game. I felt like the students came out hard, then just ditched early. So i am torn about this for this specific game.
I always found it funny that you could tell where students sat based on their seat location. Even redness = north end zone, two face = east stands.
Argh, all of you people whining about "it was hot." No shit it was hot! It's September in Blacksburg! What the hell are you going to do in November, whine that it's cold and leave early again? It's called being prepared... drink a lot of water and slather on sunscreen before September games... layer up and buy hot chocolate in November. Ugh *disappointed*
That'd be a good idea, because the crowd can impact the opponent. Not too long ago, it was considered a treat to go to home games.
Maybe all we really need is some coercion...
Miami gives up 400 yards and almost lets them come back to win, and everyone thinks the U is back?
That vicious cycle will continue until their non conference foes take them out to the shed and give them a good old beat down. That is the sad truth.
Get massacred by Oregon......get 5 star talent?
I think Miami has something else we lack...thank God
Side Note glad we didn't make it into this little video
Excellent point. They do seem to be taking the blocking assignments a lot more seriously this year.
Meh ... Vegas had us favored by 41 and we won by 42. So I'd say things went pretty much as expected.
We simply have to stop dropping catchable passes. I counted five drops against WCU.
Now of course, to be fair. there were also some very nice catches of balls that nobody could have complained about had they not been caught. Stanford nicely laid out for one over the middle and the over-the-shoulder sideline catch by Bryn was a thing of beauty.
So the overall WR play was better than it was against Alabama. But there are still too many drops. A dropped pass is often the difference between 3rd & 2 and 3rd & 8, which winds up to be, in turn, the difference between a drive continuing and the punting team coming onto the field. I won't even get into Kline's drop of a sure TD pass that hit him right in the hands.
We're moving in the right direction, but we still have a long way to go.
I bet Mike London found him while doing one of his D.A.R.E. seminars. You know, because he used to be a cop and all.
meh, one of my best friends on the planet is diehard uva, and he can talk football with the best of them. my daughter was born at uva and i told him she was a little wahoo and he was like "lets not get crazy."
an oregon fan in front of us turned around and asked, "have you ever been to a loud stadium?" i give a wtf look and motioned to me and the guys sitting around me said "dude we're virginia tech fans." he gave me a blank stare. i told him we go to a loud stadium for every home game. he was like "yeah but autzen is really loud." i just let it slide but i was so incensed by that. have i been to a loud stadium? pfft.
Don't bring up uniform tech in front of anyone from pre-1980. Back then the white pants were wool, too.
This is why we alumni invented the phrase "Back in the Old Corps..."
haha if you lose your voice watching it on tv you might annoy whoever you're watching with, or at least the neighbors.
I honestly believe that by the end of the season Trey Edmunds will be better than what Cedric Humes was in his senior season and one of the three others will emerge as a better back than what Mike Imoh was (congratulations to him on being honored at the game, by the way). Maybe two of them will even emerge as the next "Untouchables" in the latter part of their careers.
Not to mention recruiting.
You were right. Not a bad guess.
