Looking ahead to Pitt - An offense that might sputter harder than ours

On one hand, yes Pitt has played some better teams. On the other hand, this is Narduzzi's 10th year as head coach of Pitt, and to see them going through similar struggles on offense to what we are with Pry in his 2nd after a miserable end to the previous regime is....

Well, it couldn't happen to a nicer guy, thats for sure.

VT/Marshall Advanced Box Score

Got my hands on some good play-by-play data, and wanted to try making an advanced box score from scratch. Here's my first attempt:

Pop Watson Suspension Lifted

Per MassLive.com, Pop Watson's suspension has been lifted and he has returned to team activities. According to Pop's father, the suspension had been for missing curfew. Happy to have the young man back.

Things are beginning to get ugly on the internet for our coaches

That's just some of many comments you can currently find on just about any given post from any of our coaches or teams on social media right now. The fans are pissed, and they're taking all their anger out directly at the people being asked to solve these issues.

Its just an overall terrible mood around VT athletics on social media right now, and when you go to the fan sites, its not much better.

2 years ago, FSU football was 0-4, and 8-16 in their last 24

This came across r/CFB today - Two years ago, FSU had just lost 31-23 to Louisville, dropping the Noles to 0-4 (8-16 over their last 24). At the time, FSU had the 20th most talented team, per 247's team talent composite. 20th in team talent composite is bad by FSU standards, but, in theory, any team with a top 20 talent composite should be much better than 0-4/8-16.

Marshall Vent Thread

Yeah, a vent thread is appropriate. Moral victories aren't acceptable anymore.

The positive: I was going to say the "fight" that the team shows to the very end, however when we only see that type of play for the last few minutes of the game is it really a positive?

The negative: Probably everything else.

There isn't another win on the schedule. welcome to 1-11 FAM.

WEEK 4: OTHER GAMES THREAD

Link: College Football Game Viewing Guide

Week 4 started off with a bit of a dud on Thursday. The lone FBS matchup was a promising sounding Sun Belt dustup, but Georgia State is a lot better than Coastal Carolina and the outcome was clear by halftime.

Tonight in the Friday matchups we get a few decent sounding conference faceoffs to pick from: Wiscy @ Purdue, NCST @ UVa, AFA @ SJSU, Boise @ SDSU.

Foster Tunnel?

Kind of had a random thought - I feel like Bud hasn't really gotten his "official" flowers yet. I know it's coming but I've been pondering how Whit & Co. is going to go about it.

Beamer has a statue, a street, a locker room, and the practice facility named after him. Bud deserves to have his piece as well.

This may be a really dumb or brilliant idea (which is why I'm bringing this up to the forum). Some rich donors should give money to the football program under the condition that the tunnel the players run out of for Enter Sandman will be renamed "Foster Tunnel". If they're going to make a Foster statue, put it right outside the damn tunnel entrance.

Pry-ssr Marshall 2023

No silly title for this one, thundering turd is too cliche. I think Marshall and white water rafting might be the only good things to come out of West VA, so I'm leaving them alone.

It's been about 8 years, but once upon a time Virginia Tech was relevant in college football

I thought this was interesting. Even though the Hokies are in the basement now, it wasn't that long ago they were a relevant college football program.

Travel Problems To Rutgers?!?!?

Not if sure if this needed a thread so it can be deleted but thought this was interesting. While watching College Gameday, they did a quick mention that after the long delay at last weeks game that the team had some travel problems and didnt arrive to Rutgers until late last night. Anyone heard anything about this?

Athletic Department Leadership Promotions

Interesting timing on this announcement. Take in for what you will, maybe Whit is brushing his shoulders off at Mickey, maybe this furthers your opinion that the AD is a good ole boys club, maybe everyone just had a great performance review this year.

"I'm proud of our leadership team," Babcock said. "Each of them are incredibly talented in their own right and they complement each other greatly, as a team. I lean on them daily and am grateful for their commitment to our department and student-athletes. They make us better and these title promotions more accurately reflect their duties and roles."
