Duke game attendance

Will anybody be going to the Duke game? I'll be there with a buddy of mine representing the orange and maroon.

Go Hokies!

Week 12 Other Games

Hopefully Army puts a wall on Notre Dame playoff discussions. Vegas has the Irish by 2 TDs, hopefully that blows up in their face.

Indiana at Ohio State will be big on clearing up the playoffs.

Hoping SMU further destroys UVAs season, especially after this cringe post. Notice the six finger AI hand.

I know injuries are part of the sport but, what are the odds most of your best weapons will be out so often?

Clemson Vent Thread

I want to be pissed. I want to be outraged over this result.

But I'm just apathetic. The team gave up early in the 3rd quarter and that pretty much says it all. They don't care, so why should we?

The inconsistency from the coaching staff is just routine at this point. One week the scheme looks great, the next it's a pile of shit. The more you follow you just realize they really don't know what they're doing, they just sometimes get it right and sometimes get it very wrong, and really don't know how to adjust when it's wrong. And don't even get me started on just how poorly we come out at halftime every game. -41 point differential in the 3rd this year when every other quarter is positive.

Okay so I actually think Tech can win

Want to hear something crazy?

I was writing my column last night, cautiously making a case for Tech to beat Clemson on Saturday. I was about four paragraphs in when a transformer on the power line outside my house in Richmond exploded, cutting the power and wifi and not letting me finish the article.

Basically what I'm saying is that god thinks Clemson covers.

BUT, if you want to know why there's a glimmer of hope, it's this:

Last week Tech really destroyed Syracuse offensively with a backup quarterback, two backup running backs and a gimpy left tackle. The most success the Orange had on defense was a string in the first half where Tech:

Might as well talk about it here - Love might have sparked the Cuse comeback by kicking into the band at halftime

Syracuse.com: Virginia Tech kicker disrupts Syracuse marching band during halftime performance (video)

"I don't like that," Brown said during his Monday press conference. "Those kids go to class. They practice every day. They doing all that. So when I seen that, when I heard that, I was really pissed about that. Like, don't nobody disrespect our band and do those things."

Love has since apologized...

Week 11 Other Games

What games are you looking forward to this week?

Tomorrow night I want to catch App State at Coastal Carolina. Almost guaranteed to be a shootout.

Georgia at Ole Miss is interesting.
No Interest in Bama at LSU though.

Can Indiana drop Michigan to 5-5?

Want to see Army extend the unbeaten streak to 9-0.

Cuse Vent Thread

Fire Marve. Absolutely terrible coach. Fire him today.

Bowen coached himself a hell of a game and didn't deserve this result. 21-3 lead choked away by some of the worst collective defensive play that VT has seen since Bud retired.

Flat out unacceptable. Marve has to go. He's completely in over his head. A first year coaching staff abused him today.

Fire Brent Pry into the sun

Inexcusably awful game and clock management week after week after week after week. We will never win close games when our coach spots the other team multiple scores a game.

Hokies Win Ugly at Home, Advanced Metrics Look Ahead to Syracuse

*Note from the author: despite my efforts to get one of these done every week, I'm in a very busy time in my life so I may not be able to finish out the year. I get married before the Duke game and that is consuming a lot of my time and energy. Below is an abridged version write up on the Georgia Tech game and my advanced preview of Syracuse.
