Because we're all Sunday morning quarterbacks.

Week 3 Other Games

Watching Wake and NC State tonight waiting for Commanders game to start. They are doing the whole review again on TV tonight which is good.

Interested to see how Georgia Tech and Clemson turns out.

Can Wisconsin send Alabama to 1-2?

Miami hosting USF should tell us what we need to know about Da U.

Texas A&M at Notre Dame should be a good one.

What else are you watching?

Catharsis

I don't know why I made this. I needed an outlet for the feelings I have around the program right now, as I, like many of you, feel that Virginia Tech Football is in the midst of a dark night of the soul right now.

This is a collection of footage from over the years, telling the tale of Hokie football from the time I was old enough to love it, up until today.

Sharing it here, because I know you guys will "get it".

College Football Playoff hires a familiar name for its Sr. Advisor job opening

I mean good for him. I'm sure he'll have as great a positive impact on the CFP as he did for us while being here.

It is shit or get off the pot territory for Virginia Tech and its football program

Less than a month back Whit sat in a conference room with the Board of Visitors and delivered one message: If Virginia Tech does not radically leap forward now, our fate is likely sealed for generations to come. If what we needed then was a giant leap forward, what we have seen in the weeks that followed was that our standing in reality was actually much worse than we thought at that time.

Split Zone Duo Overtime: Bleak Situations at Florida and Virginia Tech

The SZD guys (Alex and Richard) touched on VT's situation in their Hurry Up recap show on Sunday and elaborated a bit on it in an Overtime segment released for subscribers earlier this morning. The main takeaways will not surprise anyone: Virginia Tech is viewed as being old fashioned, antiquated and not positioned to seriously compete in the ACC and they also discuss the reporting on the BOV presentation from Doug Bowman and Matt Brown. This is an existential question for VT.

New coaching candidates

Who would you want to replace Pry (assuming the current trajectory continues)?

Four guys who I think are within the realm of reality are:

  • Charles Huff (obtainable)
  • Dan Mullen (small reach - might have to compete against a mid/low-P2 school/salary)
  • Jon Summerall (reach - I think he's going to an SEC school this year)
  • Alex Golish (reach - I think he can go wherever he wants this off season)

Shane ain't happening. Who else you interested in?

Hokies show terminal lucidity before blowing 10 point lead

Sometimes, in the brief periods before death, a love one might show an unexpected moment of their former body and spirit before passing. For one quarter, Virginia Tech showed the promise and the hype we have all been waiting on for nearly a decade. What followed was a three quarter descent into football hell, worse than almost anything seen during the purgatory that began when we were excited to see a bowl streak continue by inching out six win seasons.

Fire Everyone

That's pretty much all I have to say after this one. -20 yards in the second half? Game turns on its head when we cowardly punt on 4th and 3 inches after Vandy drove the field at ease on us?

Yeah I'm done. He ain't it

Oh, and don't let Whit off the hook here. Two abysmal football coaching hires in a row setting up 2 golden parachute payments to buy them out? Nah, he doesn't get to make a 3rd hire. Shoot him into the sun as well

There were 5 minutes to go in the game when this was taken:

Things feel like they are about to get very ugly in Blacksburg from here on out

College Gameday on VT

"The entrance is the best part of the game, that's got to change"

"Back with Michael Vick and Corey Moore, it was awesome because they actually won games...they haven't done anything"

"Kyron Drones really struggled last week"

"All we talk about with VT is the entrance...until they actually win a big game, I'm taking Vanderbilt"

...sigh...

Week 2 Other Games

Louisville out here looking like trash against JMU. 27 yards of offense in the first quarter.

What else are you watching this weekend?

Keeping my eye on Illinois at Duke
Feels too early to have Iowa/Iowa State but here we are

Michigan at Oklahoma is only ranked game so guess we see how that goes.
