the play that palmer and pollack pointed out last night with jack tyler .. he's a player with some heart too ... he ran hard and got duke down after the 60 yd scamper and 3+ missed tackles .. big time play!! force miami into a fg instead of giving up the easy td .. exum has made his mistakes but he doesn't give up on plays either, from what i've seen ... bonner however does

our offense ... shit ... the biggest heart on our offense is a true freshman who is 5'6" and runs the ball like he's 6'5"

Love Kyshoen. I agree, he has been a very great player for the defense and has made several outstanding effort plays. Can't wait to see him more as he develops, because I think he's only a freshman or sophomore right now. Correct?

I read 4-5 blogs/articles daily, every day, season or off-season. I am obsessed with VT football. I can't overemphasize this enough. Within my circle of friends, probably even my Facebook "friends," most would consider me the top VT fan by a landslide.

It pains me to admit that I switched over to election coverage after the failed 4th down attempt and did not watch the end of the game. Lots of people are calling out fans these days, and there are some valid points. But people have their limits. Losing always bothered me very badly, almost dropping into deep depressions for a day or 2 or 3. But what I am experiencing here with the way we are losing is just leading to apathy and I don't like that feeling in myself.

Please don't judge, I'm not giving up on being a good fan, just failing a little bit here myself. I was a freshman in '92, and at the risk of sounding dramatic things just feel different, and I think and expect that this won't last, but it just sucks right now.

I said it wasn't directed at you personally. Never said "you" at all in my comment. Sorry if you took it as directed at you, but that wasn't my intent.

"HOKIES FOOTBALL IS MY LIFE." - This is obvious (No sarcasm). One doesn't show that much passion without this sentiment.

"I WILL NEVER NOT SUPPORT MY TEAM." - wouldn't dropping season tickets (for reasons other than financial) be considered not supporting your team.

First off, I didn't mean all of our coaches suck. That was directed at the offensive staff and yes I think Beamer needs to go, but if you look at the comment as a whole, I wasn't placing the blame on them. I was actually trying to give them credit.

Secondly, 4-5 is worst in my opinion than 0-2 and the outcome after the 0-2 start proves that. Can't really come back from 4-5. 0-2, totally different. But we'll agree to disagree on that one.

And I don't think anybody (coaches, administration, fans, students) should focus on positives when the negatives outweigh the positives. That's how sports work. If you constantly focus on the positive, negatives don't get fixed. Yes there's positives, but when you're 4-5 they don't matter too much because obviously there aren't enough positives.

However, I love this site and I'm sorry to you and everyone else I've upset. My future posts will only be positive ones. Go Hokies!

Not going to "ream" you, but crap bowls have pretty watered-down entrance requirements, and most would love to have a chance at VT at .500

I'll ask this: is it better to experience a crap bowl or not go bowling? They both have motivational aspects. An earlier post talked about not bowling and allowing the staff to focus on administrative changes rather than game prep, which I think could be helpful.

That Coleman hit the hole up the gut so freakin fast, just with reckless abandon, that he got about 10 yards followed by delivering AND taking a huge hit. You just don't see that everyday.

These are all quotes people have said on this page alone:

"And for the love of god, why are we putting the ball in Gregorys' hands? He has turned into a fumble machine this season." - He was our leading RB rusher last night and averaged 5 yards a carry. He also has only fumbled once this season.

"And Michael Holmes should never see the field again. I said it very early in the season and he's proven me right time and time again." - It's hard to average more than 3 yards a carry when A) the entire stadium knows that a double tight end shift to one side means an off tackle run to that side and B) Defenders are already tackling you before you can get out of the backfield.

"Can someone tell me what Holmes contributes to the team? Did I miss a few big runs or just forget about them? Right now my memory tells me he has done zilch. " - OT against GT ring any bells?

"I second the motion that we don't need Logan back next year. Give Leal the ball. It can't be any worse." -This is just the dumbest statement I have ever heard. As inconsistent as Logan has been at times, he's the ONLY reason we've managed any sort of running game this season, and he's made just as many good throws that were dropped as he has bad throws.

"Beamer needs to go and our coaches suck." - Lord.

It's fucking obvious that our program has issues this year. Anyone can be Captain Fucking Obvious. The fact of the matter is that it adds NOTHING to the discussion. 99% of the people that read this site understand that there are dire issues that need to be fixed. But you know what doesn't help get the issue fixed? Comments like the ones I posted. Rather than constantly call for firing everyone, how about you post some positives? The defense played lights out for 3 and a half quarters. Nick Becton continues to be our best offensive linemen. Antone has really stepped up his game corner. There are a few folks that have come around recently that have insisted on ONLY posting negative thoughts. Once again, this a community that prefers to have a different view than TSL. If you want to read, post, and talk about gut reactions regarding benching players and firing the staff go to TSL. I come here because I don't want to read that shit.

And as for your comment about being 4-5 and there being a reason for negativity. There was also a reason to be negative on this site the year we started 0-2 with a loss to JMU, but it was nothing like what has been happening here in recent weeks, and I'd argue that that start was worse than the 4-5 hole we sit in right now.

I think we just need to support our team and stop being so negative. Did last night suck, yes! Does this season suck, yes! But we need to keep showing support for the players, we need to keep the 12th man on the field strong.

Some aren't going to show up to the FSU game because we are having a bad season and are going even further by possibly not renewing season tickets. To that i say WOW, showing true colors there (and they aren't orange and maroon) and have a good one. A Hokie fan will gladly take those tickets.

Constantly complaining and complaing about the problems on the field and the problems with the coaching, isn't helping any. Actually its breeding negativity and that is resonating down to the field. WE ALL are disappointed, including the players, but they aren't giving up and neither should we.

This is not directed at you personally 757, but a comment in general.

LIKE.

And so did I.

I meant on a national stage. Meaningful to the college football gods.

Wasn't trying to be too negative or anything. It was just something I realized as I was looking at the picture and thinking back to that wonderful game. Danny Coale's still open.

Went to bed after our second posession in the fourth quarter. It was 20-12. I didn't care. Turned off the TV, threw my fourth empty beer can in the trash, brushed my teeth, kissed my wife good night and fell asleep with out any problems. That would never happen before last night. 12 hours later I'm writing fragments and realizing my level of interest is waning if I'm able to fall asleep so easily under such circumstances. Another sign things are not good with the fanbase. Atleast I'm having trouble focusing at work--that is a good sign.
