Because we're all Sunday morning quarterbacks.
This is a great way to get ready for the Military Appreciation game.

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!
Yeah, Pirate themed stuff.
Apparently the red skies will be in the morning on Saturday.
Check eshiben5s weather thread.
Official Unoffical gameday weather but a sure sight better than the NWS.
Do not forget, Saturday is the White Effect Game.
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:
Hey @Next3Days My camera crew & I looking for a VT tailgate with lots of games. Specifically stump. Do you know anyone? Maybe get on TV— GameGuy (@VaGameGuy) September 11, 2014
I was perusing on Facebook last night and came across a post that a friend of mine had commented on (Thanks Facebook for letting me know what my friends comment on, by the way). The ECU Football page posted an article from Gobbler Country, written obviously by a Hokie fan. Interesting tone to this article, and there are parts that I necessarily do not agree with- as if the author doesn't respect ECU.
I know we have played ECU a thousand times. In my opinion, their fans are great (not to mention, the ECU co-ed's, amirite?), ECU football is exciting, and I do respect the talent on the field and the job their coaching staff has done.
This has certainly got the ECU fans fired up calling it "Bulletin Board Material."
It seems Shane and the Pirates are pretty confident they can roll into Blacksburg on Saturday and play us better than they did last year. While he's not exactly speaking with arrogance, I think he is a little overconfident in his receivers and a little naive about the ability of our #dbu. While he does give credit to them being "very good", he goes on to say that his receivers are among the best in the country. I doubt they are that much better than OSU's receivers. I sure hope he continues to buy into this false sense of security.
If you don't want E$PN to get the hits, theres basically not much else I took away from the link beyond whats stated above.
In his post-practice interview last night, Bud said that Dadi has the most "twitch" of anyone since Corey Moore. He said that Dadi still has to master more of the game to get to Corey's level but he certainly has the raw talent.
and the follow-up with Corey ....

It's Weak 3 of college football in 2014 and we've reached our first, "Yes honey, I think date night would be a great idea. No, No, football isn't that important, you are" gameday of the season. The schedule is a lot better next week, so make brownie points now.
Hey Mark, the OBC's set is bigger and hangs lower on his person and while he has not belt, he does have ring that says Champ
Looking at the flaming pile of crap that is the SEC East and what appears to be a less than intimidating SEC West challenger, this is the best chance the UGA has to run the table. The Dawgs need to do more than just get by Sakerlina to make me a believer.
