Because we're all Sunday morning quarterbacks.
VT took a widebody plane to California. It looks like an Boeing 767-300, which is generally reserved for long international flights but also used for New York to LA and other premium cross-country flights. The Captains and OL were in the First Class Delta One pods, which are like little bedrooms with seats that can recline into a bed. I guess the DL probably flew in the business class. I've flown business class (free upgrade once), and those seats are big and comfortable. I have never flown Delta One, but those seats are luxurious. The OL and Captains should be well-rested.

I don't see this thread so I'll start with why is ole miss wearing THAT color blue? It doesn't match their helmet, and it kind of matches KY's helmet stripe.

Last week was doom and gloom and how much bourbon would it take to survive the Miami game.
We even had a thread for survival tips.
Laments of whether we could even get bowl eligible and possibly losing out.
Our Hokies came within 1 play, refferee call OR a few seconds from beating a legit top 10 on the road. It was a thrilling nail biter of a game
They played the whole game. Dumb penalties were very minimal. Our explosive plays were in abundance just as one of our crew posted an excellent post identifying that exact thing as our strength.
Our team yesterday, on national TV on Friday night showed we are capable of winning out.
Soooo damn close!
Let's Go!

Look, I'm not saying this is blatantly league office corruption at play, but I'm also definitely saying that it absolutely looks like it is.

In the first four games, this would still be heartbreaking, but we would be 4-1.
I loved the fight in this team, but we saw a complete game tonight. It's on the coaches that we haven't seen that until now.
This game just goes to show that the coaching is still a massive question mark.
With that said, quarterback coaching is not great. Drones consistently throws behind his receivers. Say what you will about Bowen as OC, but we he is not cutting it as QB coach.

Time out on 4th and 10 with 25 seconds left prior to kicking a 58 yard field goal.
Squibbing a kickoff with 20 seconds left.
Absolutely mind numbing clock usage in 2 minute drill.
The fake fg was at least aggressive but id prefer we just ran it twice on 3rd and 4th.

I know we're winning and all, but this is a fireable offense.

I pulled the numbers for EPA per play on offense and defense, as well as success rate and explosive rate for offense, and defense for Weeks 1-4. Spoiler alert, Virginia Tech is below-average to average at everything. Here's to hoping that those numbers improve after the next third of the season.
Virginia Tech ranks 79th in EPA per play on offense and 66th in EPA per play on defense. Overall, Virginia Tech ranks 69th in Net EPA per play.

Steven Godfrey and Ryan Nanni have started a new podcast called Who Killed College Football - it has a 'true crime' format where each episode is/will be focused on a different 'suspect' (TV networks, Larry Scott, The NCAA, etc). Two Episodes out so far: The Prologue and Suspect #1: Television.
Anyone else listening?

The senior transfer from Holy Cross has quit the team over "representations" that "were not upheld".
Matthew Sluka said he will instead use his redshirt year.
"I committed to UNLV based on certain representations that were made to me, which were not upheld after I enrolled," he posted on X, formerly Twitter. "Despite discussions, it became clear that these commitments would not be fulfilled in the future. I wish my teammates the best of luck this season and hope for the continued success of the program."

My son won the FREE BACON for a year at the Rutgers game on Saturday! Unfortunately, my wife thought she was taking a video of him during it but didn't hit the record button haha. Anyway, might be a long shot but figured I'd see if by any chance someone else had video of it or knows where I could find a copy.
If nothing else comes of it, I hope that my first post could at least turn into a bacon-filled version of the epic TKP food-themed GIF threads.

Now that the non-conference portion of the schedule is behind the Hokies, how do you think ACC play for Tech shakes out?
Both high-level thoughts on the remainder of the season as well as micro game-by-game predictions are welcomed.

The missus and I moved to Omaha for my work and we decided to go native and go to a Huskers game. We got tickets to the Nebraska v. Illinois game last night and it was like we were teleported back into Lane in the late 00s and early '10s. Everyone was on their feet the entirety of the game, the noise and intensity in the crowd was there for the entirety of the game and it felt electric. Definitely things that Lane has been missing on a regular basis for a while. The stadium was packed from kickoff to the end (Friday night top-25 matchup didn't hurt.
A couple of takeaways though:
