I was in fourth grade then and I cussed for the first time.
He knows people.
Awful. Just plain awful. Everybody hurt, worn out. The fourth quarter was like watching a train wreck in slow motion.
Hell of a trivia question. Took me forever.
I was trying to explain to some of my friends why I wasn't pulling for Atlanta yesterday and this was reason number one. They were all, man that's a long time to hold a grudge. My answer? Well, I sat in that terrible weather on a Thursday night only to watch Matt Ryan murder our defense in the fourth quarter.
Hokies never forget.
So yes, that game definitely makes my top 5 of worst tech losses ever. Because it was simply atrocious.
But still, Glennon'd.
I am with you, however (and Bowman too, for that matter). A LOT of things occurred in order for us to piss away that big of a lead and with all of the momentum. Glennon doesn't deserve ALL of the blame. That game was over when they got the onside kick.
I was in the stands that night, and found the family of four VT fans in the seats behind me to be an accurate representation of game's mood:
1st Quarter: They begin passing around a Wild Turkey bottle to all in maroon and orange.
2nd Quarter: They feel bad for UGA fans and begin passing around Wild Turkey to all fans in ANY color.
3rd Quarter: They stopped passing Wild Turkey, began drinking remainder of said Wild Turkey.
4th Quarter: Dad punches son in face, mom throws BBQ sauce on dad (and my friends who happened to be in the way), son slaps mom in the face, cops arrest entire family as the clock hits zero.
It was terrible. Honorable mention to walking out of the Superdome to Auburn fans chanting "What's a hokie?!" Another characteristically shitty performance on a big stage...
Slow down to 150 knots...HA!
I don't know why it had such an awful effect on me, but the Orange Bowl loss against Stanford had me reevaluating the role of sports in my life. Guess it was because it was towards the end of a long line of big game losses and we got blown out so bad in the second half that I had to accept that we got our asses handed to us. Michigan didn't have the same effect on me because at least I could blame that on the referee.
For the BC and JMU games, I was in such disbelief that I have effectively blocked them out of my memory.
Why bother landing? Just open the rear door and give a little nudge...
Juuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuust kidding...
Wonder if that plane carried a current member of the VT coaching staff to Wofford here in Spartamburg SC for one of their vacancies?
I don't know much about planes, and these flights aren't always football/sports related as well.
Sugar Bowl National Championship game. Man.... so close.... might not ever get a better chance.
Oh, and how can I forget last years Sugar Bowl? I dropped a couple grand to take my pregnant wife and 1 year old daughter. Stayed with the team and was convinced we could win--err, did win. I held my daughter in my arms the entire game only to see the zebras give it away. I wrote a detailed complaint letter to the head of the PAC-12 officiating listing my frustrations and demanding an explanation on some of the rulings. Never heard back.
Man, what a great topic. Brings back so many bad thoughts and forgettable memories! For me, the loss to Boise was the worst. It was a game in which we had nothing to gain; win, and you're supposed to. Lose, and it hurts...well, for years. I'm not even considering the aftershock loss to JMU. That was one of our best teams in years and there is no reason we should have come away with an "L". I knew after the outcome that it would sting and our opportunity to play--and beat them again may never happen. This memory still makes my face scowl in disgust. I can tell you this; we've had enough close losses in big games, we're due for a win soon. Roll Bama baby.
Jeff Grimes of Auburn in the mix.
was the flight from Auburn. The plane went from Blacksburg to Auburn to Spartanburg SC to Auburn back to Spartanburg and then back to Blacksburg. All of this occurred on Jan 8.
Now my hopes were crushed because hoping for someome from Baylor...
Munitions. Cruise Missiles. Don't be fooled. The name sounds a lot cooler than the actual job itself.
Newsome has one of those. Talking about FBS/D1A
but you have to look at the plane, and ownership as well. The flight from Clemson was a single engine cessna, which doesn't impress me as the kind of plane a prospective offensive coordinator would fly to an interview. Ditto on the one from Ohio U.
Should Grimes come on campus, he comes with a title ring from Auburn. When is the last time someone, anyone, coached in Blacksburg with a national title ring?
Probably a tough research assignment, but food for thought.
I assumed Loeffler would be OC/QB Coach.
What we are missing is a Receivers Coach.
