Were we just pranked by Youtube?

Just watched a replay of last night's game on Youtube. It was weird, lots of AI stuff happening which was unsettling enough, but then the game veered into fantasy or something. I'd listened to the game last night, had the score in my head when I went to bed and informed the wife.
However, the game we saw today had a final score of 42 - 40, with us still winning by the same margin, but a ton of scores I didn't hear last night. At first, we were worried about my brain, seriously, but then I looked it up and saw that no, didn't happen that way.
I know you guys know this computer stuff, so could anyone enlighten me here? WTF!!!

NC STATE FAM

Can't believe there's no fam thread yet..

Monty might have just gotten a better win than Pry did in his entire tenure.

Also TERION STEWART.

I award myself no points, and may God have mercy on my soul.

Advanced Stats Review: VT Pulls Off Gutsy Road Win

It is an unfortunate truth about Philip Montgomery that he is already doing things that Brent Pry never achieved at Virginia Tech in his first games as interim head coach. While it is easy to point out that it took two games for Montgomery to achieve a one-score victory (something Pry only achieved against a Liberty team whose coach had one foot out the door in 2022), last night's victory at Carter-Finley Stadium represented something we haven't seen since the previous interim head coaching run. Virginia Tech won a road conference game as an underdog, last achieved by J.C. Price against Virginia (who CBS Sports had listed as -7 favorites) in 2021.

The Argument for Bryant Haines to be the next VT Football Coach

Not to step on Bar's toes but I've been enamored with a psuedo-under the radar candidate in Bryant Haines. Consistently referred to as the "brain child" of Cignetti's coaching staff, I think he should be seriously considered.

LB Michael Short enters transfer portal

Looks like we're losing another one. He transferred in this season from UNC and has played in all of our games thus far, tallying 21 tackles and a sack. Don't know how bad this hurts, but LB is definitely a weak spot in our defense.

Coaching Carousel 2025-26

We already knew Pry and Deshaun Foster from UCLA.

Today Mike Gundy at Oklahoma State joined the ranks of those fired. Figured it was cleaner to have a new thread rather than adding on to a 400 comment thread.
