Because we're all Sunday morning quarterbacks.

This got me laughing on a Monday.
What are they teaching the players in practice at LOLUVA??
I don't want to know...
We're 2 for 2 (3 for 3 if you count the brief hatin' on CPJ before the Dook game) with the new formula. This week's target, Paul Chryst.
Much like Larry Visor, he always uses 2 fingers...
Unlike CeeLo London, he knows how to call a timeout.
(unfortunately, the game hadn't started yet)
So after watching the state of Mississippi use all its crooked letters and humpbacks to lay claim as the sanctum sanctorum of college football dominance this past Saturday, I made the mistake of not rolling my ass off the couch and shutting down the television and was thus roped in to watching the talking heads in Bristol pontificate on the state of affairs with hyperbole and breathless superlatives in full force.
They had a conversation about how "certain experts" think teams will be able to get into the playoffs with one loss.
And I was all like...
#Hokies Bucky Hodges named to @JohnMackeyAward Midseason Watch List: http://t.co/GuLwfVmymg pic.twitter.com/P43Gh38Tck— VT Football (@VT_Football) October 13, 2014
The John Mackey Award goes to the nation's best collegiate tight end. Bucky is one of 2 freshmen on the current watch list.
Our last game against UNC saw a great joke/bet tweet from twitterer @OldKingMattCole turn into an awesome charity effort for the TKP community. In honor of Michael Brewer's nearly turnover-less day, we raised almost $3000 for the St. Jude Children's Hospital.
I want to keep the spirit of this going all season. Each week we'll come up with some new and semi-relevant challenge to help determine how much we are going to donate that week. I am personally going to keep the dollar amounts relatively low, keeping in mind a tight budget and a long season, but y'all feel free to go crazy if you want.
If it wasnt for Duane Brown with Houston, we wouldnt have cared a whit (sic) about the Thursday night game where Houston fumbled their way to allow Indianapolis to win 33-28.

ACC Network for October 18: http://www.theacc.com/#!/news-detail/acc-network-affiliates-october-18-v...
Mostly the same channels across Virginia and DC. The only change is that ACC Network is moving back to WDBJ from Fox 21/27 in the New River Valley, since CBS doesn't have a noon game this week.
Duke pulled it out and helps us get one step closer to controlling our own destiny.
I know he's redshirting. I haven't heard anything about him lately. Anybody got any info on him?

This year so far I wanted to see how we compared in some of the statistics that apparently matter a lot in the outcome of games. I looked at 3rd down % and red zone. Our turnover margin is -1 so figured didnt need to post that one up. Thoughts on where things are now and where they are going?
3rd down % on Offense
http://www.ncaa.com/stats/football/fbs/current/team/699
Currently we are #15 which is surprising.
We have also faced GT #1, ECU #10, OSU #20
No kidding. That is the headline of the article. It's good to know that we can hold up well when times call for it.

Since Virginia Tech had its bye week this week and we're halfway through the season, I threw together a mid-season highlight video. Enjoy.

With the it being a week until VT plays at Pitt I was thinking about what outcomes this weekend could help VT. Unfortunately uva is on a bye too as well and so they can't lose this weekend.
My thoughts on the impactful outcomes:
