yeah, did u hear someone pointed a gun at him this one time?
Its cool watching him run and see his little feet churning fast.
Fuck em. You only get X amount of home games to be apart of your college career and if they want to leave in the first quarter fuck em. Sounds like they arent cheering anyway so they are just taking up space.
If i worked security at these things id prolly get fired for kick'n people out of the games left and right for not getting into the game.
Mike London: " Hey ho, lets go, hey ho, lets go...IIIIIIIIIII love fooooootball"
Oregon has more flashy uniforms. We can't compete.
The guy with the D-Fence signs wrote 'Go Hoos' with the D facing backwards, so he had to hold it upside down...
"You know, Mike London used to be a cop." - Play by Play guy from ESPN if UVA ever got on TV again.
By "used to" I hope he's referring to the MV7 days, because I was never a fan of the piping jerseys in '04 or those other hideous jerseys starting in '08.
My wife fell asleep during the 2nd quarter right before things started turning around. I started cheering quietly after each big play to keep her asleep.
I'll slip her some NyQuil for the Clemson game.
I sit in section 31/33 for the home games. Students are up behind me and to the right. They are not loud. Key shaking at 3rd down has greatly decreased. (I will admit I am not always doing this myself..) They sit for a good portion of the game. Thy start yell as the ball is being snapped - not while the other team is in the huddle. I have seen more alumni, casual fans get crazy during the game.
Maybe us "old folk" need to teach the younger ones how it should be and bring back the atmosphere. Quiet while we are on offense, so loud those shopping for cars at Shelor can hear us while we are on defense.
You can party after the game, before the game - It can wait the 3-4 hours while you are at Lane. Let's bring back the atmosphere Vegas line setters give points for, the atmosphere that other teams are scared of to enter and play. Even if we are down 20-0 still cheer as if we are up 20-0 in a bowl game. Bring back the 12th man.
I expect to see a lot more energy for Thursday night - We need to crush FSU in prime-time and the Hokies need us in the stands at our best.
This is gonna hurt until Farris gets back. I read he should be out at least one more week...
I'm saying this and then I'm leaving it alone...WE NEED NEW UNIFORMS... I'm tired of this throwback look... We used to have mad swag— Z.McCray™ (@ThatBoy_Cray) October 15, 2012
I remember when Kirk Herbstreit said PSU had the best student section back in 2005, had me thinking, what makes a good student section? Honestly I was in the VTCC so I never was in the VT student section, I haven't really been to other student sections around the country, so I'm not very knowledgeable on the subject, any ideas though?
65% of rushes go to LT3 and JC4, that's the recipe for success! Our offense is totally different when Logan's involved in the run game and making the right decision on the zone read plays.
I still don't care for Michael Holmes at all; JC4, Tony Gregory, and Scales all get the job done better than him. Tony Gregory needs to learn how to break tackles though, he's great when he gets it on the outside with space to take off but he struggles at the first sight of a defender.
I was in the stands, and have never left a game early, but after that defensive TD I had to tell myself, out loud; "No, I am not leaving."
Also, I was actually pleasantly surprised by the students in my section. I have come to expect not a whole lot from the students nowadays, but almost no one left after the first quarter. A few left during halftime, but most stayed until at least the beginning of the 4th when the game was more or less over, with us up 21.
Miller didn't transform into the dominate center I thought he would be this season, but he was steady. What hurts even more is if Farris isn't ready to go, then Via has to play center, with Wang also questionable there's less depth at guard, and I think true freshman Jack Willenbrock is the next man up at center. We're thin. It's fortunate Gibson practiced at guard last week, I'd like to see him get a shot too.
I don't know if 40 will do it. They can torch our secondary and they already average 41 points per game.
And part of the 10% that do care significantly are on this site, so I do believe that you have a point.
I'm probably gonna catch a lot of flack for this but what I've noticed over the years is the worst fans are the students enrolled. 99% of the passion is coming from either Alumns from back in the day late 90s early 2000s or just the good ole people from the Area. Lynchburg over to Bristol. These new students are what I like to call 4 year fans. Never even watched a Tech game until they started their freshman year and the games became a place to go party and not watch football. That's the problem is you ask me. And that's really sad.
I'm with you folks I don't know whats wrong with these people, and the worst part is that VT only has what like 6 home games a year? I gurantee whatever these crazies are doing when they leave the game early they can do any day of the week of any month of the year.
jcc has tremendous speed .. that was obvious after his first few carries this season .. power?? not sold on that yet and i think he needs to gain a few more pounds .. but he definitely appears to be the clear starter now..unfortunate for holmes and i'm sure they'll continue to mix it up ... but i'd look for him to get the majority of carries ... if he can get to the open field (somehow), he's very dangerous. he can catch the ball too so i hope they continue to pass the ball to him (at least) a few times a game so that the d has to at least account for it.
i'm worried about clemson .. with our oline issues now but their defense (and mainly dline) is not as good as they were last year. i think the coaches have been watching the '11 games over lunch for the last 9 months so they should have a good plan .. bottom line -- we'll need good play on both sides of the ball. our defense needs to get SOME stops and our offense needs to score some points .. because clemson will .. bottom line -- we just need to outscore them ... if we can put up 40 points, i think we beat em
stop lumping us all together. I have not had a morning after a home game in the past three years in which my throat was not painfully sore (I missed one game freshman year because I couldn't get a ticket and had no money to buy one.) There are people in the student sections who are useless, bandwagon, leave-at-halftime fans, but they are at worst half and the rest of us are as disappointed in them as you are. I'm not saying don't complain about the non-fans, I'm just asking you to be careful about how generalized your complaints are.
