Hatin' On: Mario Cristobal lost to Hatin' On: Rick Stockstill
Almost of my most memorable experiences in live viewing of college football have come in Lane Stadium. The rest have all been in other locations, but always involved our beloved Hokies ('95 Sugar Bowl, '05 Sugar Bowl, '16 Belk Bowl, etc).
I've more or less assessed college football at large through my personal lens... everything that makes Lane Lane.... the seating, the production value, the general fan engagement, etc, which nurtured my love for the game and made me believe that this is what college football was... which brings me to my visit to Wake Forest over the weekend.
OK. Sucking absolutely sucks, I don't think anyone will argue with that here on TKP. However, I do think there were some positive things to take from the game today. I won't break those down here in hopes that we can create a thread to discuss those things as I think some positive vibes are always good. But I will say this...
Didn't see one, so I'll start it.
I just got back from my daughter's midday softball game, so I haven't seen any of the early slate of games yet and WHAT THE FRENCH TOAST OKLAHOMA
Article: Hendon Hooker's perseverance leading revival of Tennessee football as family proudly watches on
Really Happy for HH, but reading this piece makes you sick as a VT fan:
Then there was the heart issue before the season. A procedure ultimately revealed there was nothing wrong, but Hooker and his father blame medication from the procedure staying in the quarterback's system creating an embarrassing episode three months later.

Depth Chart going into Pitt:
Finally got a chance to analyze Virginia Tech's depth chart ahead of Pitt on Saturday (3:30 p.m. ET, ACCN).Notes on the #Hokies: pic.twitter.com/KOfHu6YxYtโ David Cunningham (@therealdcunna) October 4, 2022
Quick takeaways:
So, as some of you may have saw, over the weekend I said that I read some comments from the Sons of Saturday calling for some of the coaches to be fired. Those claims were challenged, and after digging, I have not been able to find the messages that I thought I saw. At this point, all I can say is that I must have seen some fans of them with those comments and mixed that up thinking it was them. That was wrong.
I have retracted the comments that I have made and scrubbed them from the site. Didn't mean to falsely accuse, and for that, I am sorry.
Virginia Tech also seemed to take a step forward in run blocking, recording one of the better performances from the offensive line this fall during Saturday's loss to North Carolina.
According to Pro Football Focus, three of Virginia Tech's starting offensive linemen recorded run blocking grades that were the highest of the season in Week 5: Johnny Jordan (79.0), Kaden Moore (64.6), and Jesse Hanson (67.8).
These are the little victories we can celebrate.

Pat Narduzzi lost to Georgia Tech
It's the end of an era, as we are in the final ACC season with divisions. I don't know if that means next year's wheel of destiny will be more or less crazy.
A month into the season, and everyone except Miami has played at least one conference game. Both divisions are up for grabs, but for different reasons. The Atlantic has a few teams that look like they could compete with Clemson, or at least be able to jump in if the Tigers stumble. Meanwhile, the Coastal is . . .the Coastal. It's probably going to be a game of hot potato all season long.
This is where I'm at.
I KNEW THIS REBUILD WAS GOING TO SUCK. BUT IT'S ONE THING TO PREPARE YOURSELF BEFORE THE SEASON AND ANOTHER TO ACTUALLY GO THROUGH IT.โ THE KEY PLAY (@thekeyplay) October 1, 2022
I guess this is a regular segment now, which I love.
I do not love 15 penalties however.
May he unleash his full hate and fury on the traholes.
Here's to 25 sacks/tfls and holding them to no more than 25 yards the whole game.
