Because we're all Sunday morning quarterbacks.
So what? We lost. We had the worst first quarter imaginable, and we still had a chance to win in the fourth. At the beginning of this season we didn't expect to win a national championship, and now I don't expect to win a national championship. I am still ecstatic about where this team is headed. We never gave up, and we stepped up in a big way, made the proper adjustments, and got ourselves back in the game. Once again, true freshmen stepped up to make big plays. I couldn't be happier about the talent our coaches brought in last year.
Am I super drunk? yes. But lets not let one loss befoul the season. We're still looking good. Proud of our team for not folding when they could have after the first quarter.

ESPN had the graphic that this ECU game was the first time Tech had been down 21-0 in the first quarter since 2004. I went back and looked at the 2004 schedule, and there were only two games in which the opponent even got 21 or more points -- we lost one to USC, and beat UNC, but in both games, the opponent only scored 7 in the 1st.
Ah...found it, it was the GT game in 2006. GT got up 21-0, before we punched in a TD with :20 left in the 1st.

Its's not an ACC loss, wake up call, excuses...
F*** THAT.
If you had unreasonable expectations, want to fire Beamer, or have other #HotTakes, post them here!

Two ways to watch. I would recommend watching via WatchESPN as it will provide the best quality.
1) Go to WatchESPN.com
2) Click on Remote Access
3) It will ask you for your provider. Select Xfinity/Comcast
4) It should then take you to the Comcast login screen. Enter the following:
Username: VTFootball2014 Password: Hokie4lifE
(password is case-sensitive)
5) Once you click ok/sign-in, you should be redirected back to the WatchESPN website where you should now have access to the game. All you need to do is find it and click on it. Enjoy!

I spoke with Corey's mom tonight and she stated that Corey definitely will NOT play vs. ECU as he is still rehabbing his ankle! Next man UP- GO HOKIES!

I finished up editing this video today, highlights from Saturday's game just in time to get everyone amped for ECU tomorrow.
Not necessarily Billdozer standards but hope everyone still enjoys it!

I've got a few aggie friends and wandered over to txags.com to see their reaction to our game last weekend. Two quotes in particular caught my eye:
Bud Foster's D has taken a giant dump on the ole Horseshoe
3rd and long. Drop 8 and hope the qb misses or be Bud and bring pressure.
Bud Foster rubs one out to Pressure.
And just for fun, here's another couple from tidefans.com:
This VaTech QB is impressing the heck out of me right now. He has made some seriously clutch throws.
and saving the best for last:

SI published an article today about Brewer and how he's been thrust into the spotlight. So many great quotes in this story
"I said something along the lines of I'm ready to go ahead and do this and win a lot of football games here, and he jumped right out of his seat and came over and gave me a hug," Brewer said. "I was like, 'Did Frank Beamer just do that?' The Frank Beamer just jumped out of his seat and gave me a hug for committing to his school. How many kids have sat in this chair and committed to coach Beamer over the years? And he still gets up, comes over and gives me a hug?"

Well round 1 of the WLWTC was the Marshall game last year when it absolutely poured on the Hokie faithful.
Its looking like another game with a chance of rain, and I'm loving it.
Be sure to wear your white proudly and make it another epic white out game!
Hopefully we can open up a can of whoop-ass all over the pirates!
P.S. You pervs can go look up wet t pics if you wish. Otherwise come Saturday for the show.

I know most of us are wondering how legit our offense really is a this point. Can we really run the ball when it counts? Can we keep our young defense fresh to help seal the game? Can we score tds in the rz? These are all questions that haunt our dreams game week. Remember this: our offense in the 4 th qtr in a hostile environment against the number 8 team who hadn't lost a home game to an unranked opponent in decades, with a beat up qb, answered the bell when in the past 5 seasons we would typically wilt. Who converted a crucial third and 1 running the ball and drove inside 20 on a rushing play and put the ball in the end zone. We drove the ball 65 yard on that drive in the 4th qtr! We will be fine this week. Go hokies!

Watching the OSU game again tonight (because I can), and I'm on the drive early in the 3rd Q where we have a string of 3-4 big penalties called against us. First, I should say, I'm not crying about it. We won the game in convincing fashion despite these calls. But, still, I'm wondering if anyone else took a close look at these.
During the live game I was furious because they didn't show replays of 2-3 of these mystery calls. So, through the magic of dvr I'm taking a closer look.
1 - we sacked them deep in their territory, and Dadi is called for PF hands to the face (15 yds). Even on dvr you can't see what happened. I'm very curious if he actually did something that was a foul.

Just received a message from the Virginia Game Guy on Twitter. He's looking for a tailgate that will be playing Stump for his camera crew to film. You probably have seen him on the Virginia Lottery commercials and I'm pretty sure he's a Hokie grad too.
Here's his message:
