He was just really sad cuz he knows that he might have to think about firing some coaches.
How many of us would love to lose some of the offensive staff to another program...
Tone did great!
I more enjoyed all the nicknames for all the players, haha
It's more of a highlights video for the defense. Honestly, I don't mind this at all. Exum seems like a smart, jovial kid and he's having a little fun with his teammates. He'd probably be a good blogger, because he doesn't take himself too seriously.
"That's funny, there's no Zima on this menu. Where's the Zima?"
it's not as bad as I thought it would be. I'll give kudos for that. hahaha...good times. I love my Hokies.
TC, you understand what the phrase "stepping stone progam" means, right? Louisville lost Petrino, Cinci lost Kelly, and Uconn lost Edsall all to other programs. We've lost who to other schools? Our wr coach like 6 years ago? Anyways he said UL would be the exception if Strong stays, but hey let's not kid ourselves.
Yes the Virginia Legislature and Governor got publicly involved in the move but is that somehow a sympton of weakess? Seems like everyone acknowledged what it would do for our state and made it happen in spite of that Carolina bias and snobbery. Why are you bitching about that anyways, it got yall out of C-USA didnt it?
How'd we do against the Big East? You're right we are now 5-2 against the BEC since we left. I'm just gonna hang my head about that one because any loss against any Big East team is a program setting back embarrasment.
I'm hoping we hear something after our bowl game. *fingers crossed*
#VT4SEC or #VT4B1G at this point i will take anything.
Go troll somewhere else. No one here went onto UL message boards and posed as a UConn fan when you all laid an egg yesterday.
....the three of those teams football accomplishments together since the '90s and add them together to what exactly?........maybe we could even say not even a first step yet, still hanging out on the sidewalk even...waiting to get on the stairs.
Chizik gone too
Amusing that a Virginia Tech fan would call Louisville, Cincinnati and UConn stepping stone programs. You can thank the Virginia Legislature for even being considered for ACC in the first place. How'd you guys do against Big East football programs this season?
I'd rather be part of a football conference, than a basketball conference. Are you listening, SEC?
Bud fixed defensive problems throughout the season, and boy it's great seeing Tweedy streak across the field (turns out JGW is just fine for ST). Can't say the offense did the same. I was amazed that Scales wasn't utilized in more situations. My 2-yo niece that my VMI dad is teaching the finer points of the game, could run a better offense.
Please, don't let this save our lackluster offensive coaches!
A 42-yarder in sub-freezing temperature with the wind gusting like it was yesterday isn't gonna be a gimmie for anybody.
As to the rest of your post, according to Hokiesports.com Journell is 18-for-22 on his FG attempts this season and is 33-for-35 on his extra points.
That sure doesn't sound to me like "He's missed makeable field goals all year." I doubt you'll find a lot of kickers around college football with better numbers than that.
The above postings should be taken with a large grain of salt. Cincy's 247 network, as a whole, has been pretty hit or miss with any rumors associated with the program. Some examples include: expulsion of Yancy Gates after last year's XU/UC brawl, claiming Cronin was all but locked into becoming NCSU's next coach, and most recently, claiming that Butch Jones was, again, all but locked into UK's new job. All of the above proved to be false.
This site does a fantastic job of throwing out unsubstantiated claims about UC athletics just to get page hits. The fact that he said "it was in writing" then said "nothing is confirmed" more or less proves my point.
Setting aside whether UC belongs in the ACC, which is a different argument for a different thread, I wouldn't look too much into what's being written here. I'm not believing anything until Swofford and Whit Babcock are sitting next to each other on a stage announcing UC's admission to the ACC.
I was in the Western Corner of the NEZ. In the second half the NEZ was empty enough that pretty much everyone else in the section had room to migrate toward the East side of the NEZ (with the sun) leaving my friends and I as 4 people taking up 2 sections. The East stands seemed emptier than usual as well. Horrible for a rivalry game.
When you're winning 10+ games a year and going to BCS bowl games, it's possible to keep a lid on the simmering discontent about the offense among the boosters.
But when you're looking at a 6-6 season where your "signature win" is over Duke at home, it's quite a different matter.
Nice work
no, i missed that part (sarcasm). he's missed makeable FGs all year. 42 yards for a scholarship kicker isnt something that should be missed and without Mike London's help it could have cost the team. given some time to practice and build leg strength, i'm pretty sure either of us could hit that 29 yarder from the middle of the field. he did come through though, so perhaps I should have just thought that rather than type it.
i dont think you're exaggerating at all when you say we have the worst offense in D1 and i dont put that on the players at all.
Had he taken a better angle he would have made the tackle with ease. But as you say, aside from that one play he played a strong game.
There are no other southern schools worth taking.
Something that people are missing is that if this does set off the wave of 16 team super-conferences, the Big 12 is screwed. The only logical targets for the Pac-12 are Texas and Oklahoma. They'll go hard after those two schools, Oklahoma State, and whichever other Texas school has enough political pull to get to be #16.
