Put LT3's head on one.
Do you just save to computer and get it on the phone through iTunes?
as always great stuff!
Sure, the students should be proud of the team this year. They've done pretty well and no one should begrudge them that.
I'm pretty deep in "enemy" territory here: a 'hoo living in Christiansburg and posting in a VT forum, but this thing rings hollow even to me. It's pathetic; it's pathetic to see a once proud institution with a long and storied academic and cultural history try to pretend to be something it's not.
UVA isn't a football powerhouse. It's not a massive land-grant university and it shouldn't pretend to be one. As a Wahoo, I'd love to see Virginia beat Virginia Tech and, though it'll vex my Hokie wife, I'll be cheering for the boys in blue... but even I know it's a long-shot.
Packing the stands with students won't change that... and begging them to show up is just sad. Trotting professors, the dean of students, and random people from student government out like they're some kind of motivational trump card is beyond sad; it's painfully embarrassing.
Honestly, I don't think even Tech could have done a better job of highlighting just how ill suited UVA's student culture is Big Time College Football.
...that next weeks Photo Primer will be EPIC.
Kudos to UVA, y'all just made my already incredibly easy job that much simpler.
Hokies
Harvard
Nebraska
SMU
UVA
USC
Hokies - The seniors will go out with pride
Harvard - You had me at 9-1
Nebraska - Even without Crick, Black shirts' D is good enough to contain Shoelace Robinson
SMU - This one is tough, because not a single team has shown any sign of stopping Keenum, but the Mustangs are better than everyone else on Houston's schedule thus far
FSU - Can't bring myself to pick UVA to cover when FSU is playing so well. Plus they stop the run and Rocco can't beat anyone with only his arm (not that I've seen)
Quack Quack - (See last week) They ran by Stanford, and the Cardinal still don't know what happened. Oregon to keep rolling, even if this is the USC bowl game, remember Kiffin's last bowl game as a HC (2009 Chick fil A)... Thought you might
VT
YALE
MICHIGAN
HOUSTON
FSU
OREGON
AND YES, I JUST TOOK EVERY HOME TEAM. LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
**I pledge to be there even after UVA gets their hoo-hoos handed to them at Florida State.
When Erick Green left the game yesterday, I figured it was because we were doing okay without him, so no need to put him back in. I only found out about his re-injury after the game. He needs a solid week of no practice, after all we're talkin' about practice! He is they key to this team, especially if we want to entertain the thought of an upset next Wednesday.
UNC covers, but Hokies win - UNC still matches up with us great, as evidenced by how close our games have been in the recent past. Sucks that Tweedy probably won't be back, but I have faith in our defense. It's been a while since anyone has be JAYRON'D, is this the week the streak ends? DID SOMEONE SAY THURSDAY NIGHT IN BLACKSBURG?
Harvard - Cause when in doubt, pick the 9-1 team.
Michigan - I have not been impressed with Nebraska all season. Perhaps it could be chalked up to my general distaste for B1G footbaww, but SERIOUSLY, BIG RED has slept-walked through it's last month. The win last week was painful to watch (on a football level - not even going into a discussion about the distractions at State College), and a loss at home to a Persa-Less Northwestern team that physically overwhelmed them most of the game. Overrated? Overrated.
SMU covers, but Houston wins - If any non-mainstream mid-major (re: Boise, TCU) has the offensive firepower to go tit-for-tat with Keenum's Bunch, it's SMU (and maybe Toledo, but that's another discussion). They already took down TCU earlier in the season. Every offense has a bad outing at least ONCE a season, but I don't think that will happen for Houston until the BCS. The Worldwide Leader will be present too, hyping this to be perhaps the biggest game in Houston Football history (until they inevitably meet Southern Miss in the Conference USA Championship Game).
Also, with UCLA still controlling their destiny in the PAC 12 South (WAIT. WHAT? I KNOW), that season-opening victory looks better and better for the Cougs.
UVA covers, but FSU wins...No, you know what, FSU with the win AND the points. Let's be real.
Oregon - Quack Attack loked possessed against the Tree, and I fully expect them to keep the momentum. Lane will have his boys ready - for USC, this is their bowl game - and it'll be close for 1 half. But Oregon has its sights set on THE R-WORD, and they need as many impressive shellackings on their resume if they want to jump Bama.
Photo Primer coming soon!
They have to use sideline views, as not to show the empty seats in the crowd.
Good write-up. The one thing that sticks out in my mind is that we're getting good contributions from our bench. Yeah, it was only Monmouth and FIU, but I'll take it. Historically we've gotten bit in the butt by lack of production from our reserves.
Also, I am worried about Erick Green. He was definitely hurting at the end of the Monmouth game, so I'm concerned he re-injured his Achilles. The plus side is that he has week to recuperate, but that's the kind of injury that can be nagging. We absolutely need him healthy this year.
UNC +10.5
Harvard -10
Michigan -3.5
Houston -19.5
France +17
USC +15.5
This UNC game is worrisome, due to motivational factors, but on paper it should be an easy VT win. Can VT win out and keep the belt until next year?? Chances are pretty good, with Clemson the toughest potential game left this year.
This is absolutely outstanding.
VTBox that GIF is legit sir! Side note: the kid in the green lion was a tool...
I couldn't help laughing after watching that GIF. you guys are crazy...
VT - Funny if we had gotten Renner then Logan would prob be catching passes than throwing them
Harvard -eh why not
Michigan -I would love a VT vs. Michigan Orange Bowl if that could happen, too bad OB has last pick
SMU - Getting points but hoping possible win
uva - I just see it a lot closer than the experts think
USC - They have a legit shot for the upset, it's USC's bowl game
UNC barely beats points
Harvard
Michigan barely
SMU points
FSU wants to be in a better bowl
Oregon
I was actually impressed and happy to see our Hokies not get into it after that cheap shot. It wouldve sucked to have off setting penalties after retaliating. And I very much noticed the "fore arm" comments and every time they replayed it I saw a punch.
o'cain is pleased.
