It doesn't get said enough...
The offensive pass interference call on Josh Morgan in that USC game is still one the top 3 or 4 worst referee decisions that I have ever witnessed.

I remember that dropped TD pass vs. Miami in '95 quite vividly. I was sitting in the old green wood bleachers that used to be the north end zone seating, about 6 rows back. I believe it was Bryan Still. That ball hit him in stride, in the hands, just as he crossed the goal line. Then it hit the ground, about 20-25 ft in front of me. All of us sitting there said some very mean things about Bryan (and likely his mother as well) about that time.
Even with how the rest of the season went, I don't think we totally forgave him that drop until he ran that kick back for a TD against Texas in the Sugar Bowl.
I felt the same way. This season could end up alot like 04'. Lets just play hard each game and not let a loss like NC State in 04' happen.
We also had a dropped TD pass in that Miami game. I remember the '95 season well. I too, was at the 2004 game against USC at Fedex field. What a game! We had them until Reggie Bush broke loose late in 2nd half. We had a young team with a veteran QB. I loved what Randall did that year. I also loved what he and Royal did in the GT game come from behind victory that year, too. In addtion, we played the 2 best teams in the country very tough in USC (13-0) and Auburn (12-0). Auburn got the shaft in the NCG, but would have given USC a close game. This year's team does have some parallels with that 2004 team. Good be a special year.
Mmm... Sarah Marshall...
It's always important to know the weather, especially if you're heading to Blacksburg for a football game.
Going to rock the boat here a bit, but Tri-tip (I know it's beef, but it is amazing) and on the rare occassion that someone actually cooks it right brisket isn't bad (not quite what the silly Texans believe about their cut).
Dry rub for ribs: The Santa Maria style tri-tip seasoning is amazing on ribs!
Vinegar is the only way for pulled pork (if anyone has a recipe I might give away one of my kids as everyone back home with the recipe guards it tighter than Fort Knox)
I believe Peter Griffin explains it perfectly, HOAT.
Nick Marshman look like Usain Bolt, huh?
Holy Hokieblogs, Batman. That's slow.

1995 to 2009 = Pride and Joy.
2009 to Present = Crazy old step-uncle we try to hide in the back bedroom.
Loeffler said yesterday moving Caleb to RB was his best move yet. I'm looking forward to seeing what he can do on Saturday.
Also worth noting that Edmunds 20 carries "was about right" for Trey and they will try to work the other backs around that. Glad to hear we have a "feature back."
LOL...That would be it.

At OSU next year, VT could be a "premier" game if demand is thought to be high enough. Ticket prices in the range of $110-$125.
I didn't think he ran tentatively. I think he ran SLOWLY. He had almost an huge cushion from when he caught the first pitch of the game, and didn't get a yard.
But, he looked explosive on his only catch. As result, I am not sure if he was running scared or if he was hampered on the running plays. But we can all agree, it was SLOW. He made Nick Marshman look like Usain Bolt on the first play of the game.
Yes, keep them coming! I'm also a weather nerd. :)

great article. Looking forward to my first game in blacksburg of the year. its going to be a beautiful day.
i'll be the guy wearing maroon and drinking beer.
Yes, it is difficult to think of new ones for Sam Rogers. Maybe because every time I think of Sam Rogers, I get scared. As if he already knows I'm thinking about him.
By and large, I think Chuck Norris-isms represent a whole category of statements that could be applied to any target. But originality is key with these things.
Call was on Josh Hyman and you're right - it was awful. I was fortunate enough to be standing on about the 20 yard line when it happened and couldn't believe the call when it was made.
