Because we're all Sunday morning quarterbacks.
Can't say I'm surprised.
Classic trap game! Coming off a big win followed by a noon kickoff. Let's all be honest with ourselves, who was thinking playoffs before the tOSU game? What we have here is a great learning expeirence for this young talent we have to respect success. The season is far from over and we can still win the Coastal and challenge FSU/Clemson/U of L for the title.
We slept walk through the first half and kept them in it in the 2nd. You can't do that with a team as good as ECU. We'll be fine and if I was y'all I'd start buying tickets to Charlotte. GO HOKIES!!!

We Knew They Were Gunning For Us
We knew that this was their big game. We knew that they were gunning for us. I expected us to come out flat but not in such a big way. Say what you will about us being unprepared, and to some degree, I would agree with you, but this team at least showed some fight and was able to come back to tie with some very young talent. That last defensive series was a nightmare, and it seemed doomed from the moment the kickoff went out of bounds. All they needed was 3 to win, and getting the ball at the 35-yard line was essentially game over.

I love Virginia Tech football
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.

last time we were down 21-0 in 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.

OSU comments from other fanbases
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:

Brewer Embraces the Spotlight
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?"

Worlds Largest Wet T-Shirt Contest!
Well round 1 of the WLWTC was the Marshall game last year when it absolutely poured on the Hokie faithful.

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.

Resilient youth
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!
