Because we're all Sunday morning quarterbacks.
I love the smell of a troll poll in the morning. Smells like victory. I found this poll on the "Buckeye Extra". Surprisingly the option: Virginia Tech win by 1-9 points already has 16%. Good start, but WAAYYYY to low. Click and vote. Because it is fun and trolliffic.

Came across this, good read. I imagine Bud using similar principles, I have a feeling he has the MSU/OSU game on replay 24/7 somewhere

Here's a great article from an OSU alum on FMB. Should be shared with every recruit out there:

Feeling ballsy in my first ever post...A few too many beers and Wild Turkeys perhaps...but why can't we beat "THEE OVERRATED STATE UNIVERSITY"? Common sense says one thing but drunk sense is way more fun, so I'm going believe in us to win on a big stage. I mean if we lose, none of us will be that shocked...but if we win, I dare say it will be the sweetest win since Miami 03'. I choose the latter, but now if you excuse me it's time to "stick it in".
For the night owls ...

A special thanks to Brooks Aker @brooksaker for compiling the stats. If you feel he missed something leave a comment, we'll look into it. Misinterpreting, misreading and misposting data does happen. Brooks even added Bruce Feldman and Stewart Mandel into the mix. I'll buy them beer if they win too. Yes, Steve ... I owe you double.
This past week was the biggest turnout yet! Keep playing, even if you have a bad week or two.
Congrats to 2HokiesIn, HortHokie15, jspenge, PH2VT, & wildturkey84
and for you guys at 0-6 HokieJoe3, RealDiehl, reesejenks520, & SeattleHokie ... errr, it's week one jitters?
WEEK ONE RESULTS!

Similar to large away games in previous years, the local VTAA is putting on a pregame tailgate. I went to the one before the Bama game last year in ATL and had a blast.
They will have raffles, food, TV's, and a cash bar.
Please see the following for more details:

ALSO, apparently registration closes today at 5. Sorry for the late notice.
Great article on Coach Beamer that I recommend everyone reading: http://theozone.net/Ohio-State/All-Sports/All-Seasons/News/Rare-Insight-....
Ladies and gentleman of the Hokie Nation, the time has come. Our enemy is upon us, the wolf is howling at our door. We must stand together as sheepdogs and go forward into the fray together as one. One team, one town and one nation, the Hokie Nation. From the darkness a fire will rise and it's going to burn down Buckeye stadium. There are storm clouds forming above and a darkness rising on the ground. The Dark Hokies will rise up and defeat our opponent. There's a storm coming.... Better find you a basement. It's Time to Rise....
I moved to Atlanta last year and didn't make it up to Blacksburg last season. It was great to be back in town and go to a game.
Anyone have the percentage of times we have deferred to the second half and the offense comes out with a 3 and out? I know it's a high percentage. Why not just receive first half and let the defense get the momentum going start of the second half?
Hokies,
On TechTalk Live tonight, Coach Frank Beamer highlighted true freshman Greg Stroman as a player who will get more playing time this week.

Coach Urban Meyer plans to expand his playbook when the Hokies play the Buckeyes on Saturday.

A game that was going to be challenging just got more difficult. Knowing Frank Beamer and his coaching staff , the young Hokies team will be ready to compete against a really good Ohio State team.
