This week, TKP has the chance to take hate week to a whole new level.
I know we already have a hate week thread and that's awesome and all that. However, I think that a) we can never have too many hate week threads and b) we have a lot of skill sets that can be brought to bear making hate week all that it can be. We can invent the future of hate week. This is a thread for all of you creative, computer savvy hokie brethren and sistren to post your best mashups, gifs, statistically driven graphs/tables (#science), or whatever. Leave your "Fuck uvanus" comments on another thread. What I want to see here is some real, honest to God, hokie ingenuity. With your posts, start with the three hard G's:
- Graphs
- Gifs
- Great Photoshops
Some possibly useful links for you:

I'll get us started by "analyzing" our score differentials against common opponents this year. Due to scheduling quirks, we share seven opponents with the wahoos (5 division foes, ND, and ODU). I've organized them alphabetically, so unfortunately that puts the worst comparison first: Duke. As bad as that looks, the rest of the season doesn't look too bad after that. With the exception of UNCHeat***, we outperformed LOLUVa in every contest, win or lose. We both went 5-2 against these teams. LOLUVa outscored their opponents 206-156 whereas the good guys managed a much more respectable 219-159. According to this completely thorough statistical analysis, we will beat LOLUVa by 10 points.
| Opponent | LOLUVa | VT |
|---|---|---|
| Duke | 34 | -35* |
| GT | 5 | 45 |
| Miami | -8 | 7 |
| Notre Dame | -15 | -1 |
| ODU | 11 | 14 |
| Pitt | 16 | 28 |
| UNCHeat | 7 | 2 |
| Total | 50** | 60** |
*-Game took place before the AD era.
**- with AD comparisons removed, VT total becomes 95 and LOLUVa total drops to 16. While this may predict the final score come Friday afternoon more accurately, I couldn't quite bring myself to just throw this game away outright.
***-UNCheat being the only game besides Duke on this list where RW took significant snaps. Not saying anything disparaging about the young man, just pointing out something I think is pertinent to the conversation.
