Ricky Rahne thinks a 17-point margin makes for a two-score football game

Because I'm able to stomach watching more football this weekend compared to last.

These things.

My sixth-grader complained that the seat was too short for him. He's 4'8" and 70 pounds soaking wet. I'm 6'4", and the goddamned thing pushed me forward three inches, ended like two inches into my thighs, and the ones in front of me made it impossible to keep my legs in front of me. My knees were basically around the ears of the poor woman in front of me. There was nowhere else for them to go. If I'd bought season tickets, I'd be calling to demand either a refund or the removal of the backs on my seats.

FAM!

I'll have to take a look again, but this week's slate of games isn't TOO exciting from what I remember.

Texas @ Michigan probably being the most prominent, but that does nothing for me.

edit: I suppose Georgia tech @ Syracuse can be an interesting watch.

Iowa-Iowa State is always a tough one too.

Tennessee @ NC State..

aaaand I hope New Mexico beats the shit outta Liberty.

Hey hey, let's welcome our buddies SMU to the acc shit show, they looked pretty bad again in a loss to BYU last night.

Who's going to be there tomorrow?

I hope to get up to Bburg around 9-930 and park it near the ropes course in lot 18.

Hope to see y'all there.

🏈 Disappointment in the Outcome, but Appreciation for Passionate Fans

The coach expresses disappointment in the team's performance and loss to Vanderbilt, acknowledging they didn't play or coach well enough to win. However, he emphasizes his immense appreciation for the incredible turnout and passion of the Hokie Nation fans, saying their support is very special and the team is fortunate to have such dedicated supporters.

Virginia Tech entered the season as a sleeper playoff contender but showed up to the locker room in Nashville still asleep at halftime. The overtime loss to Vanderbilt to open the 2024 season was unfortunately emblematic of the Brent Pry era. Regardless of the offseason praise heading into this season, the Hokies under Pry are not known for their early season success – especially against major competition on the road.

Hyperbole? Probably. Overreaction? Definitely. But hear me out for a minute or two...

Just 9 years ago we all watched Beamer's farewell tour. It was both parts beautiful and sad. Beautiful as we saw the man who built VT football into a program that carried national relevance year after year finish with relative success. Sad, because we all knew it had to end at some point. And with that ending I think we all knew things would be rocky for a bit.

Embarassing.

Nice fucking choke job against the worst team in the SEC you worthless shits.

And great job, you got your starting QB hurt in the first game. Great job asswipes.

Our return to greatness was extremely overstated. Still the same old dog shit Hokies we grew accustomed to under Fuente

What the hell was even that?

Lots of games tonight, figured I'd fire a thread up for it.

The Sandman Suite:

The new Sandman Suite within Lane Stadium will provide a one-of-a-kind viewing experience not only for the game but for the best entrance in sports. Located at field level, the suite will offer a unique perspective of the game and provide complimentary food and beverage. Seating 16 fans in the northeast corner of Worsham Field, the suite will be sold in its entirety on a per game basis, and pricing will vary based on the game and demand ranging from $15,000 to $35,000. Game tickets are included in each suite purchase.

The Lane Lounge:

Not sure how this happens but Apparently he left SoCar and is now back at Louisville. He was practicing this fall with Sean Beamer.

How many people in the DMV would be interested in attending a watch party at a bar somewhere in Arlington, VA?

I also have a lot of TKP pint glasses in my garage I want to unload.

Edit: Not to watch Vandy, but just at some point this season.

Game Week is Here Y'all!

Pene OR Copeland jumped out. Gilliam must have had one heck of a camp after his spring game performance.

Keller at WILL. Prove it time.

Mose Phillips starting at safety. Ghannam at left guard.
