I want to see the defense breaking ribs and dislodging footballs.
I want to see the Hokies line up and knock the GT ends and nose back into the middlle linebacker's laps.
I want to see David Wilson hit the hole with authority, get up field, and get every inch. If the hole lets you get 3, get three and run over a guy to make it 4. Don't go 50/50 on losing 5 or gaining 15. Control the ball, and beat them up.
If the Hokies want to win this game, then force 3 turnovers, and see David Wilson with a 33 caries for 189 yards stat line. That is a good start.
I convinced mrsdozer to include a thursday night stop in atlanta during our honeymoon. A small victory in what I am sure will be followed by a long string of losses. GO HOKIES!
This is Grade-A Bulletin Board Material. Not their bulletin board; ours. Litter the team bus, the charter plane, the entire locker room with this column. This game needs to be an old-fashioned ass-whupping, where we kill them and then go to work on them (sorry, Ocean's Eleven was on the other night).
Like a great man from Atlanta, I have a dream that before the boys left for Atlanta, they walked through the tunnel into a quiet Lane Stadium, looked up into the North End Zone, and read the names on the banners: Dale, Loria, Beamer, Vick, Grove, Moore, Brown, Pyne, Smith. Then and there, each of them resolved to play this game -- one game, 60 minutes -- on a level worthy of having their name hung there one day. That confidence and success carries into the next two games, God-willing to the ACCCG, and another trip to a warm climate in early January.
I'm ready.
(Actually, now I'm ready to go play some GoldenEye, so I'm leaving work at noon.)
This post put me in a damn good mood.
For the rest of my life, every time I kill a bee by either using raid, a flip-flop, a baseball cap and when I go balls deep and pour a 5 gallon can or gas in a yellow jacket nest and set it a flame... i will always remember Bud Foster destroying the GT yellow jacket at point blank
Hokies win
Nebraska to win
WVU to cover
Auburn to cover
Boise
Stanford.
Doesn't Vegas always say to bet home dogs? Yet this week, I just can't pick them. Nebraska is jekyl and hide offensively, but Penn State may be the worst offensive top 20 team ever. When you couple that with the chaos on campus, I can't imagine them winning.
Cincy might be the worst one loss team in the country. A pretty lousy Tennessee team absolutely smoked them. WVU isn't SEC quality, but they are the first team with decent athletes that Cincy has run into.
I am not sold on Georgia. I think they have been benefactors of playing other SEC East teams that come in with major injury issues on the eve of playing the Bulldogs. Auburn isn't great, but they have a great game in them.
Boise is good. Really good. They wouldn't win the SEC, but I would take them to beat everyone in the Pac 12 except maybe Stanford (bad matchup for Boise with the power sets up front.)
Stanford beats Oregon in a matchup of precision/power football played the way it is supposed to be played, versus video game sissy "pick Vince Young and run around the end" Playstation football.
so long as it's the first pick that i miss
RAMBLE ON (totally agree. bud can't stop this scheme with his best, much less his 2nd, 3rd, 4th...)
HUSKERS (way too many distractions. this line could [read: should] end up NEB - 6.5)
CUZZINS (i keep pickin', they keep losin. GOOO CUZZINS!)
WARDAMNEAGLE (did anyone else watch that crazy shit last night? i'll ride my emotions/hate for UGA here)
TCU (covering the shootout. haven't looked at the o/u, but i'll take over)
STANFORD (these nerds are wayyyyy too smart for vegas. they continue this heater even if it requires OT)
GiT
Nebraska
Cousins
Auburn
Boise State
Oregon
botw
Oatmeal Rye India Brown
What more can you say about that?
I went to GiT for a night game was when Glennon was at the helm in their practice squad Jersey. Was a great night as we won in that poor excuse of a showing by their fans. I've also slapped a man after he thought it funny to dump the ice left in his drink in my face outside of West End. I wasnt cool or calculated with it, simply struck. That face he gave afterward will always stay with me in my trophy case of accomplishment. This is our time to let them know they can hand it off to whomever they want on the way to a star strucken loss. Go Hokies!
Every week I inch back to .500. DERP.
VT -- I may not get back to even with this but ill take the risk. Ill leave reason to the nerds in ATL.
Nebraska -- This game stinks for many reasons. I cant see the players getting this one for the gipper.
'Nati -- TEAM RUSYNHOKIE. Actually, TEAM I DONT WANT THAT POOR BASTARDS SATURDAY RUINED.
Auburn -- Points are in my favor.
Boise St -- Donkey Face will cover
Oregon -- Luck for Suck
BotW: Tried it last night. Lagunitas Fusion IPA
This might be one of the dumbest things I've ever seen.
#learnhowtofuckingtackle
I'm sick of Paul Johnson and sick of people thinking we should be scared of him and his out-of-date, high school-style offense. He has one win against Virginia Tech. One. By five points. And to be honest, if we stop them on that 3rd down with under 5 minutes to go instead of giving up a 40 yard touchdown, we probably win that one. I'm not afraid of him and I fully trust Bud Foster's ability to make CPJ pout on the sideline. His disrespect for Frank Beamer a couple of years ago still irritates me. Add in the fact that Heather Dinich seems to like him and my anger towards CPJ only increases. I don't like Paul Johnson. I want to win and I want to win bad. Bring on Thursday night!
That gif is pure awesomeness. Excellent article and hope that Bud's new Defensive strategy works!
VPI - We play above expectations
Nebrasky - PSU distracted
'nati - close game
Auburn points
TCU points
Stanleys - but a close one
I'm sure VT friends will give me crap for this.. but I'll trade a win tomorrow night for a loss at home against UNC.
I'm just tired of not enjoying watching the VT/GT game. Every season the game is painful to watch. Right now, this week, we are ranked # 10 in the country (basically by default...). I want to see us on nat'l tv LOOK like the #10 team in the country.
This is the best gif I've ever seen.
difficult to stop drinking at half way...
Alright, alright, alright...
doobie doobie doo.
haha I forgot about that game...Funny how they dont throw the ball but I remember Calvin Johnson tearing us up..
Building is this in???
one of my favorite Hokie games ever was Glennon's ass kicking of Georgia tech in their uniforms.
Natural Light, the beer with the taste for food.
I use Natural when smoking chicken and ribs and the price point to flavor is just about at perfect 10.
a few apartments with the same sign around town too.
Brilliant Glennon picture!
VT - See TKP's "Raid." post. All of that plus more.
Penn State - They will win this game by a shitload because every single player will play out of their minds for what will probably be joe paterno's last game. That stadium will also be loud as all hell.
UGA - it's in athens and....eh.
TCU (points) - BSU will win but TCU will keep it close.
Oregon - Ducks will come out fast, and stanford won't be able to keep up.
and now, my personal game of the week, mostly because my personal/romantic life hinges on its outcome:
Cincy/WVU
I'm probably the only person who has watched cincy all season and while their defense isn't great, its their secondary that is just god awful. Cincy actually has a rather impressive LB in JK Schaffer who is behind Luke "superhuman" Kuechly in tackles this season. Given that WVU's strength lies in its air attack I would normally say that cincy doesn't stand a chance. However, WVU is having internal issues that will keep them from, well, giving a shit. WVU lost rather sternly to Cuse on the road, and most notably, and recently, Louisville AT HOME. In what can only be related news, VanHolgo recently told the press that he was considering only taking 50 players to PBS because he only wants to take players "who actually care." This means that WVU won't play to their potential and that will only help cincy. In addition, Zach Collaros (QB), Isiah Pead (RB), and DJ Woods (WR) are all seniors and are capable of leading the team in ways that remind me of our team last year post JMU. All three played out of their minds when Cincy hosted BoomerSooner at PBS last year and I think they play at that level again this year, if not more so since the defense is respectively stronger, WVU is on the decline, and they have the confidence of a 7-1 record. All this being said I believe that Cincy will win this game.
HOWEVER
While cincy will win, I do not believe they will win by much. The only reason they beat Pitt was because Tino Sunseri stopped playing mentally and the Pitt PK hooked the 50 yarder to send it to OT. Similarly, the only reason that cincy beat USF was because BJ Daniels decided to start throwing picks in the 2nd half. So week 11 pick six pick for this game is.....
WVU in points - Cincy will win but not cover.
I love you all.
