North Carolina Football Primer: Photo Edition

In the past decade the worshippers of Ramses have been remarkably consistent in fielding mediocre teams.

UNC's previous season records: 2010: 8-5. 2009: 8-5. 2008: 8-5.

In 2011, Mike Lond...um...Everitt Withers was named interim head coach.

Withers has continued most of the time-honored UNC football traditions...

...like losing to NC State.

Withers was promoted to the HC job because of "lack of institutional control" under previous coach Butch Davis.

Preseason NIT Tournament Review – 3-0

The team played extremely well and as a whole on Monday, and Erick Green’s presence made a world of a difference in ball control, tempo, and movement.  This team is starting to play better, as the rust seems to have worn off a bit since the opener against ETSU. During the second NIT game, point guard Erick Green reinjured his strained Achilles tendon and did not play most of the second half.  Hopefully this goes away, because this team needs him; his presence changes the way the Hokies play. 

NIT Game One vs. Monmouth (W 91-46)

MVP – Erick Green

Death by a Thousand Sneaks: Second Half Analysis

Happy Monday everyone. I have reviewed the full film, and I had completely reviewed the 2nd half for both the Hokies O and D. Unfortunately, I lost my first draft and rather than re-watch the play by play for the full second half, I will just focus on the offense. Some quick notes on the defense first.

MascotMock™: Ramses

Good work last week, everyone.  I firmly believe that we embued Bud with the Rambo-esque powers to dominate the triple option.  Let's keep going and get stupid with it this time.  Happy hunting.

Death by a Thousand Sneaks: Film Review of the Hokies versus the Yellowjackets

First Hokies Offensive Series:

1st and 10- One TE, 3 WR, DW at tailback. Line is 72-75-74-68-62. Bootleg on first down. Not a great ball fake by Wilson or Thomas, but plenty of time. LT3 looks a bit tenative and doesn't find anyone downfield. Scramble and gets back to the line. Good blocking, but Drager lost his man late to make Thomas scramble.

Gut Reactions: VT versus GT in Review

I don't know about you, fellow Hokies, but I am EXHAUSTED after last night's football game. That war had everything you could hope for in a big football game: offensive execution, defensive playmaking, dominant offensive line play, outstanding individual effort, and yes, mistakes. Mistakes often make the game that much more dramatic.

Virginia Tech again rode the undulating roller coaster of emotion, yet found a way to calm the seas and execute in the biggest moments of the football game. And, I know many of you don't share my respect for what Paul Johnson does, but his kids, especially on offense, really took it to the Hokies, and it is a testament to the Hokies that they were able to win the game.

Georgia Tech Football Primer: Photo Edition

Georgia Tech has been involved in many historically significant games, perhaps nome more famous than its 1916 meeting with Cumberland College of Tennessee. The Engineers won 222-0, the largest margin of victory in NCAA history.

Buzz has a ride that rivals David Wilson's Whip: a 1930 Ford Model A Sports Coupe.

Although they have been passing the ball more this season, the Paul Johnson still prides himself on the triple option offense, AKA the offense of a thousand cuts.
