'Twas the Night Before Buckeye BeatDown Skit/Poem by yours Truly

'Twas the night before Buckeye BeatDown, when all thro' the house
Not a Hokie was stirring, not even an ounce
The jerseys were hung by the locker with care,
In hopes that HokieNation soon would be there;
The children were nestled all snug in their beds,
While visions of Buckeye tears danc'd in their heads,
The moon on the breast of the new fallen snow,
Gave the luster of mid-day to objects below;

When, what to my wondering drunk eyes should appear,
But a massive bus and eighteen hundred Hokie peers

How do you want to win?

We have all thought about it. The clock hits double zero and the Hokies have more points than the Buckeyes. But how have you imagined it? What would be the most satisfying way to beat anOSU?

Personally, I imagine a tied game, 20-20. The Buckeyes have driven down the field and are setting up for a game winning field goal with 4 seconds left. The crowd is going crazy, they know a victory is within grasp. The kicker lines up the ball and they snap the ball. He kicks the game winning field goal and...wait! #11 Kendall Fuller blocks it! Recovered by the #34 Kyshoen Jarrett. He runs down the length of the field with an escort of hokies and, as time expires, he puts it in the endzone. Hokies win Hokies win!

BC VS Pittsburg on ESPN

Watching BC hosting Pittsburgh on ESPN tonight, I found myself rooting for BC for obvious reason. VT has to play both teams later on, its giving me an early look on what to expect from them .

Jeff Heuerman listed "Doubtful" for tomorrow night

FWIW I was about to throw away my money and set my roster for the late Saturday night college football games on FanDuel when I clicked on the TE section and saw Jeff Heuerman was listed as "doubtful" for tomorrows game via Columbus Dispatch reports. I don't have #sources but you can google his name and see similar reports on other sites.

oh and btw, Malleck was available to choose BUT NO BUCKY! WTF

eleven warriors

Was on the football forum in the predictions for the game thread and noticed several people commented that most tech fans on their message boards didn't seem to be real upbeat or have a good feeling about this game lol. Just wondering if they weren't on loluva boards because I haven't seen that on any tech boards I've been on.

Tailgating Tech - Columbus Ohio

First away game of the year. Its in Columbus, Ohoi (sic).
Good news is these guys are stacked for breweries, 13 by my count.

First, a Public Service Announcement. Due to previous experience at the Horeshoe, I have been informed its best to acquire one of these:
Better than a cooler?
Ok, there is your product recommendation for the day.

Gameday information for an Ohio State
First off, we both hate that School up north. That will get you a long way to get information from the locals.

If Vick was in high school now? Where would he go?

With VAs recruiting landscape changing, the Hokies have found themselves on the losing end of several recruiting battles. The Buckeyes have been the benefactors of VTs misfortune. That led many recruiting analysts to ask the $ million questions:
If Vick was in high school now? Where would he go?

Stupid question, but going to ask re: new gameday programs

I saw on Hokiesports.com last week that one of the changes starting this year at the games is that programs (the magazines) are free, as opposed to the $5 they used to cost. That sounds pretty awesome to me, since I've gotten one at every game I've ever attended. But I haven't seen any reports of what they're like now. Did anybody pick one up last week? What does it look like? Is the quality any different now that they're free? And how does the German Club feel about the change?? They used to be the guys selling them, although I don't know if they got any of the proceeds.

My apologies if this has been brought up somewhere else on the forums. I did a cursory search and didn't come up with anything.

Bold Predictions...

Give three bold predictions for Saturday nights primetime showdown. I'll get this started...

1. Our secondary picks off JT Barrett 3 times
2. Brewer throws 3TDs and passes for over 320 yards
3. Virginia Tech defense holds OSUs offense to less than 10 points

View from football facility blocked

Shane Beamer just posted a picture from the patio of the football facility. Looking towards Lane stadium, it will be completely blocked by the new indoor practice field. Does not look good at all.

Any word on our uniforms Saturday?

Looks like anOSU will be wearing alternates, http://collegespun.com/big-ten/ohio-state/ohio-state-will-wear-its-alter...
...so does this put us in white? I know there was mention of "uniforms were ordered last year so don't blame me," which makes me worry about the possibility of our own alternate unis since this is such a big game.

weekly weather report, the biggest game of the season...so far

Ladies and gentlemen it's here. The game we've had circled on our calendars since the horrific sun bowl, and one that seems like, on paper at least, that we have a real shot at winning. This game will be on national television and I don't think we can stress enough that we NEED this win. There will be tons of big name recruits at the horseshoe, and we have a young and exciting team coming in. Oh, and to top it all off, the entire country will be watching. No pressure added to the team or anything but this is a big deal, and Tech has been reeling a little bit these last two years.
