Yes, thanks. Rhetorical question.....poorly worded....meant "able" as in "chose to" due to a comfortable lead. Should really add against a P5 opponent.

I'm sure he was a blast. He was a competitor through and through. That's why he was guarding people 45 feet from the basket and would pick up cheap fouls.

Shutout for Bud...Bowl streak maintained....beat a team we haven't in three years....playing the best football VT has played since 2016.... straight up FAAAAAMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!!!!!!

I'm listening to Burnop interview Bud on the postgame show and our locker room is going nuts in the background. This program is rolling right now. Fun times to be a Hokie. Who would've thought, 7 weeks ago, that we'd be feeling these emotions this season.

The "only" thing that scares me is that this team has been playing on such an emotional high and (get ready for it) are so young that they may yet come out unprepared for any of the next two games. I believe they are more than capable of beating pitt and uva (no caps on purpose) but there is not a lot of margin of error.

Bud gets a shut out against GT FAM! Bud happy he didn't have to scheme against PJ's option again FAM! Bud gathers his players at the end of the game and points to the big goose egg on the scoreboard FAM! Boy, did that win feel good FAM!

A good stat to be compiled would be to compare the number of 3 and outs with Willis verses Hooker in as QB. The number of stalled drives was a big problem with Willis because he had problems running RPO. The number of 3 and outs must be going down since this VT offense is so much more efficient.
Log in or register to post comments about the Virginia Tech Hokies
I will say though. Hooker has made some questionable decisions that I swear should have been picked off. I think weve gotten lucky a few times with defenders dropping passes or just not being good enough to make the play
Log in or register to post comments about the Virginia Tech Hokies
I saw at least 2 against GT. One was a completion that he must've hit the most precise window possible over the middle of the field. Another was incomplete.
Log in or register to post comments about the Virginia Tech Hokies
That decision over the middle is why he's qb1. He has the accuracy to make that throw and proved it. The other was when he rolled to his right and threw behind keene(?) That was a poor decision.
Log in or register to post comments about the Virginia Tech Hokies
Agreed that he had to be super accurate, and he was for that play. I specifically remembering thinking that ball was picked before our guy came away with it.
Log in or register to post comments about the Virginia Tech Hokies
I'm almost positive it's the same feeling I had and after watching the play in context of Hooker throwing over the middle I came to realize my butt clenching was because we haven't had a QB that can make passes like that over the middle in a few years. That was a timing and decision making like we haven't had in a while. He's very much capable of those passes his throws are a rope at 10-15 over the middle and he's accurate enough when in the pocket to deliver IF the pass pro is there
To be fair to JJ he showed the ability to make those passes to but RW was not good over the middle and for whatever reason we haven't given qp those routes to throw at so it's been seemingly a long time since we've seen slant routes like that.

I just went to donate $50 to the Hokie Club because I am happy but the Hokie Club's website is down and I can't donate. They are "updating their giving platform." On a Saturday during college football season? Seriously?
Unbelievable that we're failing to capitalize on these drunk donations after such a dominant performance. No wonder we can't keep up financially.

I'm not bitching about anything? I'm pointing out that I'm literally trying to give my money away and I can't because our website is down. You don't think that's worth pointing out?
I'm thrilled with what I've seen on the field for the past month and a half. Hence my desire to make a small spontaneous donation. I make sporadic donations throughout the year when something really good happens, along with an annual donation. It's a more affordable way to increase my giving level. If you don't think it's a problem that fans can't donate after a big win, we'll just have to agree to disagree.

I received an email from them back on the ides of October reading,
The Hokie Club and Virginia Tech Ticket Office are pleased to announce that we will be upgrading our online ticketing and donation system! [...]
We ask for your patience as we upgrade our system. The Hokie Club's online giving platform will be temporarily unavailable beginning October 17. We anticipate being up and running early November with our enhanced platform. More details will be shared at that time regarding signing in to your account and making online gifts.
Please contact the Hokie Club, hokieclub@vt.edu or 540-231-6618 with any questions about your Hokie Club account, or to make a gift.
Hopefully they're back up soon; Go Hokies!

Good to know. Thanks for the info. It definitely needed to be redone, but I still think this should happen in like May when we're less likely to spontaneously donate. Hope it's back up this week because we're playing lights out and I would not be surprised if I'm in the same drunkenly charitable state of mind after the next two games.

My first plaid post on TKP!
I would like to start off by saying thanks to Georgia Tech for allowing the Hokies to come to your house and absolutely drub your ex-chinballs asses to embarrassment.
Secondly I would like to thank espn for being the most incompetent sports reporting network in existence. Without their capability to research facts and edit this moment would not have been possible.
Lastly thanks to all my fellow TKPers for unselfishly donating "legs" to a great cause.

While watching the Bud tribute videos last week and they mentioned how many shutouts he had, I had a feeling that we'd be getting another one before he left.
Log in or register to post comments about the Virginia Tech Hokies
Almost all of them. ESPN put a six day hold on most of their games. Fortunately, RSN already has two games scheduled, so we won't get dumped down there.
There is a primetime slot on ACCN, and the only two games available for that are ours and Wake/Duke. I think the only other primetime slot available is ESPN2. It's hard to predict the hierarchy in the first season of the new network.
I'm hoping for a primetime slot as I have a day trip to make, so the primetime game is the only one I'd be able to see the majority of.

Not sure where to leave this nugget, but technically ESPN is wrong and right simultaneously!
Virginia Tech closes its regular-season schedule with two home games that will help determine the Coastal Division race, including next week's game against Pittsburgh.
Log in or register to post comments about the Virginia Tech Hokies
If we can pull out the victory over Pitt then I'd say we are a solid top 25 team. If we pull out both remaining regular season games, I can see us getting into the top 20. If we win three in a row, I think top 15 is reasonable. If we win four in a row, I'm looking at us around 12. If we win five games before February, then top ten. And if we win six, then number 1 baby!
Log in or register to post comments about the Virginia Tech Hokies
I mean in that case we shouldnt worry about the team overlooking Pitt considering they took us behind the woodshed last year. So getting ranked won't make them "overconfident" or whatever nonsense
Log in or register to post comments about the Virginia Tech Hokies
It works well in our favor that we got butt gouged last year vs Pitt and then our last game is against UVA for a Coastal Ship.
So no real thoughts of over looking opponents.
But you can't disagree that in the past, we make a top 15 or top 10 rank or we get ranked after a long hiatus and then inevitably shit the bed the very next game...

VT had one more win today than GT had points. Let the Hokies in the assembly say "Fam"
F A M
Our defense held GT to a donut and also scored a touchdown. Let the Hokies in the assembly say "Fam"
F A M
The Hokies averaged 5.3 yards per carry and 13.9 yards per pass attempt. Let the Hokies in the assembly say "Fam"
F A M
Speaking of which, Georgia Tech's longest rush and longest reception of the day were each 17 yards, which means Caleb Farley's 17 yard pick six was tied for the longest play resulting from a GT offensive snap. Let the Hokies in the assembly say "Fam"
F A M
GT's punter, Pressly "Big Chonk" Harvin III, had 9 punts for 434 yards. None of them resulted in a VT possession that started inside our own 20. Let the Hokies in the assembly say "Fam"
F A M
GT had a delay of game penalty on the opening snap of the day, and it somehow only got worse for them. Let the Hokies in the assembly say "Fam"
F A M
The Hokies attempted only 16 passes on the day compared to GT's 25. The Hokies gained 238 yards rushing to GT's 53. The Hokies had the ball for 31:39 compared to GT's 28:21. Somewhere, Coach Paul Johnson thought he faintly smelled garlic and rolled over in his coffin. Let the Hokies in the assembly say "Fam"

Bowl Eligible. Shutout. I hate Paul Johnson. 50 days AD. FAM
Fam, Bud got another shutout!!!
FAM! Complete domination on both sides of the ball.
When was the last time that Tech was able to play their backup QB in the 3rd quarter of a game?
UNC?
Well, technically the UNC game, but I assume you meant by choice. ...
Yes, thanks. Rhetorical question.....poorly worded....meant "able" as in "chose to" due to a comfortable lead. Should really add against a P5 opponent.
This. This is what Fuente-Foster was always supposed to be.
This deserves plaid.
I did this.
Perfect. You're 1000% right. This is what I was hoping for all along.
...it's about time! and it's all coming together just when we need it
DCWILSON PLEASE FAM WITH US. HELP ME MARK IT OFF OF MY BUCKET LIST.
Donuts for Bud! FAM!
Big donut, FAM!
One of the most frustrating hokies ever. But so fun to watch too.
Dude was great fun though. Randomly ended up hanging with him at a friends house one time
I'm sure he was a blast. He was a competitor through and through. That's why he was guarding people 45 feet from the basket and would pick up cheap fouls.
FAM bam a lam!
One fam thread for the defense, one fam thread for the offense.
Fuck yeah. FAMs all around bitches!

Well played.
Amazing. How long would you say you've been holding onto the idea of posting this
Yes.
Shutout for Bud...Bowl streak maintained....beat a team we haven't in three years....playing the best football VT has played since 2016.... straight up FAAAAAMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!!!!!!
No backing into a bowl bid this year. We EARNED this one by totally kicking ass.
They Live always gets a leg!

Yo, my name is Alec! Thanks for saying I'm good dude. You're alright
We may never lose again!!!!

FAM! It's been a while since we dominated like that. Feels good!
Ass, meet foot.
In case you want some GT tears FAM: Postgame Thread
Well, alright.
Maybe just for a few.
Well, great. I was feeling pretty good about the game until I read GT's punter singlehandedly had 439 yards - almost as much as our total offense.
FAM! Bud pitched a shutout in his last appearance as DC at GT, and QP made the most amazing, effortless-looking pass I've seen since Michael Vick.
I'm listening to Burnop interview Bud on the postgame show and our locker room is going nuts in the background. This program is rolling right now. Fun times to be a Hokie. Who would've thought, 7 weeks ago, that we'd be feeling these emotions this season.
All UVA fans right now:
After this week I have 0 doubts we're going to play Clemson in Charlotte
Agreed. Only Pitt scares me. I think we curb stomp LOLUVA.
Pitt's defense is good. Their offense is nothing special.
Their offense is bad.
So they are playing vintage mid 2000s VT?
The "only" thing that scares me is that this team has been playing on such an emotional high and (get ready for it) are so young that they may yet come out unprepared for any of the next two games. I believe they are more than capable of beating pitt and uva (no caps on purpose) but there is not a lot of margin of error.
45-0 Bro
Great feeling watching the offense roll and the defense stomp.

DONUTS FOR BUD!!!!! Somebody please order 3.5 dozen plus 3 extra to be delivered to Bud Monday.

SHUTOUTS:
VIRGINIA TECH: 1
CLEMSON: 0

We also beat UNC by one more point than they did.
Twice as much as they did
I REALLY WANT SOME CAROL LEE DONUTS RIGHT NOW FAM
Total, utter beat Down! Loved every second of all of it. Go Hokies!
The GT passing game was neither efficient or effective.

Bud gets a shut out against GT FAM! Bud happy he didn't have to scheme against PJ's option again FAM! Bud gathers his players at the end of the game and points to the big goose egg on the scoreboard FAM! Boy, did that win feel good FAM!
Oh, and we won TOP again BTW.
FAM! We brought the bug spray big time. We killed those stupid yellow jackets like we were the flippin orkin man.
I'm starting to suspect Hooker might be a better QB than Willis. Just a guess.
I'm suspecting that the coaches are decent and some of the issues earlier in the season were due to player inexperience.
We literally have nothing to complain about this week.
It's okay to admit that Fuente picked the wrong QB to start the year. Really. He corrected things in time to save the season.
It's also OK to admit that VT is getting better, all around.
They got off to a rough start, but things are looking up.
The coverage on kick off and punts could be better.
Don't get me wrong, there is plenty of room for improvement.
We didn't shut out Ohio State tonight.
You can tell how much better the offense has been just off of how few passes Hooker has needed to throw.
A good stat to be compiled would be to compare the number of 3 and outs with Willis verses Hooker in as QB. The number of stalled drives was a big problem with Willis because he had problems running RPO. The number of 3 and outs must be going down since this VT offense is so much more efficient.
I will say though. Hooker has made some questionable decisions that I swear should have been picked off. I think weve gotten lucky a few times with defenders dropping passes or just not being good enough to make the play

I'm almost positive it's the same feeling I had and after watching the play in context of Hooker throwing over the middle I came to realize my butt clenching was because we haven't had a QB that can make passes like that over the middle in a few years. That was a timing and decision making like we haven't had in a while. He's very much capable of those passes his throws are a rope at 10-15 over the middle and he's accurate enough when in the pocket to deliver IF the pass pro is there
To be fair to JJ he showed the ability to make those passes to but RW was not good over the middle and for whatever reason we haven't given qp those routes to throw at so it's been seemingly a long time since we've seen slant routes like that.
Pitt and UVA just shit and Clemson cracked an eyelid
You guys hear Bud issue a call to arms for fans to turn out next week? These boys are on a mission. Let's go send him out right in his last home game...
Make Lane Great Again.
See you at the Terrordome next weekend.

Unbelievable that we're failing to capitalize on these drunk donations after such a dominant performance. No wonder we can't keep up financially.
Congrats you have discovered a legitimate thing to bitch about this weekend. I was afraid there was literally nothing to complain about.
I'm not bitching about anything? I'm pointing out that I'm literally trying to give my money away and I can't because our website is down. You don't think that's worth pointing out?
I'm thrilled with what I've seen on the field for the past month and a half. Hence my desire to make a small spontaneous donation. I make sporadic donations throughout the year when something really good happens, along with an annual donation. It's a more affordable way to increase my giving level. If you don't think it's a problem that fans can't donate after a big win, we'll just have to agree to disagree.
Easy there seabiscuit. I was being literal, not sarcastic. I agree with you and I agree it is worth bitching about (yes you were bitching and that is ok).
The good news is that they'll still be there when fans sober up.
Maybe they'll give even more.
Definitely still making my donation! But knowing me, I am unlikely to increase my spending as I get more sober.
I received an email from them back on the ides of October reading,
Hopefully they're back up soon; Go Hokies!
Good to know. Thanks for the info. It definitely needed to be redone, but I still think this should happen in like May when we're less likely to spontaneously donate. Hope it's back up this week because we're playing lights out and I would not be surprised if I'm in the same drunkenly charitable state of mind after the next two games.
AMAZING FAM
FAM! that was fun. Good day for a good old fashioned blowout
FAM but I still see you duplicating my thread Joe, for shame
General Sherman has entered the chat
TWO FAM THREADS AGAIN!!! FAM!!!!!
The first one has been up since the first half of the game....
Yup. I stayed away from it until the clock said 00:00
ACC on notice...
Fam.
Qualified.

No, it's just going be re-purposed for speculation on our next DC
Mayonnaise.
Definitely had some concern for a letdown game here, but they stepped on the Bugs early and never let them have even a glimpse of hope.

I don't want to know what you googled to find that image
"Fuck Narduzzi"
If that was the case, shouldn't you have put this in the Hatin' On thread?
"FUCK PAT NARDUZZI" is acceptable in any thread at any time
True.... I was just making an observation since we already started Hatin.
WTF is that!!!???? I'm crying here!
Famalicious
We had more turnovers than LOLuva had fans at their "Spring Zima Festival".
We are going to send Bud out in style FAM!
Better be ranked, fam...
I don't know about you all, but I can't wait to go crazy in Lane next weekend !
James Graham needed 48 yards today to become the first GT QB to get to 1000 yards since 2016.
Better luck next week.
Helping move my sister-in-law today, so turned my phone off during the game (superstition). Boy howdy was I happy when I turned it back on. Bowl eligibility and a team on a roll with a purpose FAM!!!!!!!!!!
While watching the Bud tribute videos last week and they mentioned how many shutouts he had, I had a feeling that we'd be getting another one before he left.
I bet we could get one next week too...
It goes without saying, but we need to cherish every single game we have left.
Hope we play at 3:30. Do you know what time slots are available?
Almost all of them. ESPN put a six day hold on most of their games. Fortunately, RSN already has two games scheduled, so we won't get dumped down there.
There is a primetime slot on ACCN, and the only two games available for that are ours and Wake/Duke. I think the only other primetime slot available is ESPN2. It's hard to predict the hierarchy in the first season of the new network.

If sone one were to try and out do the V "T" prank then showing a Bud foster tribute at Lane North on the jumbotron would do it. Not suggesting anyone break the law, just saying thay would be epic.
I've always wanted someone to somehow sneak in and get Enter Sandman played over their PA system pre/during game.
If you just get all the VT fans to shut up a pair of C battery power portable speakers should be enough to drowned out the UVA fans
Sup FAM!
FAM! The TV announcer said his impression of Bud Foster after getting to meet and talk with him was that Bud would be a great guy to "have a couple of beers with."
Bud foster drinks 2 beers before breakfast
This. WINS. The. Day. Subtle, yet Savage. Bud Robertson is applauding in heaven. Well played sir.
I hope Beard is doing well and enjoying the team turn around. HOPE YOU'RE CELEBRATING OUT THERE FAM
Not sure where to leave this nugget, but technically ESPN is wrong and right simultaneously!
Virginia Tech closes its regular-season schedule with two home games that will help determine the Coastal Division race, including next week's game against Pittsburgh.
I saw that too. Shared it with my LOLUVA friends
And GT has to play again Thursday. Whoa.
Well they didn't play Saturday, so they should be ready! Haha
Fam, we're in at 22 in this week's ESPN Power Rankings!
If we can pull out the victory over Pitt then I'd say we are a solid top 25 team. If we pull out both remaining regular season games, I can see us getting into the top 20. If we win three in a row, I think top 15 is reasonable. If we win four in a row, I'm looking at us around 12. If we win five games before February, then top ten. And if we win six, then number 1 baby!
I think I see what you're going for, but I think your count is off by one because Pitt+UVA+ACCCG+CFP Semi+CFP Final = 5 games
That's fair.
I give 0 shits about ranking. The last thing we want is this team to get over confident and forget it takes work to beat these teams.
Better left unranked IMO, until at least the ACCCG so we can go get Oranges.
I agree.
We need ambition, not overconfidence. I want to be ranked when the season is over.
This is ludicrous. If there was any game to be overconfident coming into, it was this one, and we stomped their faces into the turf.
Give me all the rankings we can get. Time to start building our rep back
All we need to do is win. The rankings will follow soon enough.
We know what we need to do. Win the next two games and we go to the ACC championship.
I'm confused as to why the GT game is the one we should've been over confident for when we've lost 3 to them straight years...
Theoretically, shouldn't GT have been the over confident team (had they not had a regime change)?
Because that team is trash this year. Come on. Lol
Trash or not, you don't over look a team you've lost to for 3 years in a row
Unless you're UVA.
I mean in that case we shouldnt worry about the team overlooking Pitt considering they took us behind the woodshed last year. So getting ranked won't make them "overconfident" or whatever nonsense
It works well in our favor that we got butt gouged last year vs Pitt and then our last game is against UVA for a Coastal Ship.
So no real thoughts of over looking opponents.
But you can't disagree that in the past, we make a top 15 or top 10 rank or we get ranked after a long hiatus and then inevitably shit the bed the very next game...
This team is playing with confidence and execution. Until they show me otherwise, I'm not worried about them laying an egg
I'm confused as to what part of my comment was "ludicrous".
You're entitled to a different opinion, but nothing I said was outrageous.
The idea that getting ranked would in any way affect the teams play is ludicrous
Correct, I hope the duke score is posted all over the locker room to keep everyone in check.
I'm generally of the same mindset, but I was pleasantly surprised to see us ranked. Posted because I figured others would be too.
Rat poison.
FAMTASTIC!!
I'm stunned by how much this team has grown up right in front of us the last 4-5 weeks. Suddenly we are dominant on both sides.
Is there a place to see/watch Bud's remarks someone mentioned in another thread about the fans coming out to Lane next week? I want to get a "Get Hype Thread" going, even if it's in my head.
Fuente still needs to show some damn emotion /s
I regret that I have but one leg to give this.
This is all I can see.
Girl: It's VA Tech
Cat: Virginia Tech
Agreed.
(For anyone who wants the cutout... link)
Beautiful. I'll see your post and raise you
also, it had to be done:
This shit's going to be amazing if the stars align the rest of this month.
Can't wait to see the possibilities from the upcoming VT/UVA imagery.
Honestly, it could create enough content for a brand new weekly Giftory-esque thread.
Heh

Looking at GT #25 in the second picture... I had to Google Atlanta's area code, because my first thought was an HTTP error that Georgia Tech hadn't found a team culture.
404 Culture Not Found
Thought the same thing

VT had one more win today than GT had points. Let the Hokies in the assembly say "Fam"

Our defense held GT to a donut and also scored a touchdown. Let the Hokies in the assembly say "Fam"

The Hokies averaged 5.3 yards per carry and 13.9 yards per pass attempt. Let the Hokies in the assembly say "Fam"

Speaking of which, Georgia Tech's longest rush and longest reception of the day were each 17 yards, which means Caleb Farley's 17 yard pick six was tied for the longest play resulting from a GT offensive snap. Let the Hokies in the assembly say "Fam"

GT's punter, Pressly "Big Chonk" Harvin III, had 9 punts for 434 yards. None of them resulted in a VT possession that started inside our own 20. Let the Hokies in the assembly say "Fam"

GT had a delay of game penalty on the opening snap of the day, and it somehow only got worse for them. Let the Hokies in the assembly say "Fam"

The Hokies attempted only 16 passes on the day compared to GT's 25. The Hokies gained 238 yards rushing to GT's 53. The Hokies had the ball for 31:39 compared to GT's 28:21. Somewhere, Coach Paul Johnson thought he faintly smelled garlic and rolled over in his coffin. Let the Hokies in the assembly say "Fam"

Time for me to get in on this FAM TRAIN! WOO WOO!
A bit late, but this is the big one for me, as most of my blood family are GT fans. But my fam are Hokies!
Late to the thread FAM!
Why is it that Dax always falls on his ass when he picks off a pass?
I think I've seen him pick off three passes in the last three weeks and in each case he caught the ball while sittin' on ass.
Maybe he studied Bucky Hodges film on ball catching?
But is he taller than Bucky Hodges?
Two plaids in one thread, and the "T" button only takes you to the next post, FAM!
