I woke up this morning with teeth gritted, brain throbbing, and my heart aching. The Hokies played their collective asses off last night, and for the outcome to be what it was just makes you sick to your stomach for those kids. The defensive line, perhaps for the first time since the injury to Antoine Hopkins, completely dominated the line of scrimmage. The Hokie secondary (after a couple of hickups early) was a ballhawking unit. The linebackers did all that was asked to make Denard Robinson look like a freshman without a clue. Logan Thomas and his receivers had an outstanding game.

Y'ALL. I'm still somewhat reeling from New Years Eve on Bourbon Street. Laughs help in the recovry, or so I'm told.
I was having a hard time developing a dislike for Michigan fans. All of them that I had previously met seem like real, down to earth people. Fans I've interacted with are well knowledgable and passionate. They're smart, reasonable people. And then I saw some hipster douche go up to two elderly Tech fans in the hotel lobby, and obnoxiously real "GO BLUE" in their faces. TIME TO UNLEASH THE HATERADE.
I dunno about y'all, but it's really annoying how the meda keeps harping on how Tech hasn't played any quality opponents.
Peace out. I'm leaving for New Orleans tomorrow morning. I was flying commercial but the Chick-fil-A Kang lent me his air float so instead I'm piloting myself direct, observing visual flight rules. For everyone traveling to New Orleans, have a safe trip down. For everyone stuck at home, remember there's a Bourbon Street in every ABC store. Go Hokies!

The plan was for Tyler Weiss to attempt the short (read: most of the) field goals, and for Justin Myer to kick the long ones. It was the same plan the Hokies used against Duke while Journell was injured. Myer will handle #ALLOFTHEKICKINGDUTIES which apparently includes going hard like a boss. Myer has a big leg, but has accuracy issues.

Three Blacksburg men, including Virginia Tech kicker Cody Journell, have been arrested and charged with breaking and entering after an alleged home invasion late Wednesday night.
Updated 10:54 a.m.: By email, Virginia Tech athletics director Jim Weaver said: “Virginia Tech redshirt sophomore placekicker Cody Journell is immediately suspended indefinitely from the football team in conjunction with University Policy 1035.”
Does anyone know if Danny Coale can kick field goals?
Obviously this isn't puttin our best foot forward for the trip to NOLA. It's an extra distraction and now we have to find another kicker. What do you guys think?
