Football Forum

Let's discuss.

French joined me this afternoon on ESPN Blacksburg (1430 AM, 94.1 FM) to break down ECU's offense and defense. If you're looking for some Xs&Os talk before the game on Saturday, check it out:

So Bojangles has signed a deal to become an official corporate sponsor of the ACC.

Which is both unsurprising and completely shocking that they were already.

I mean how much more of a sponsor can you be when you are already the "the exclusive chicken, biscuits, and iced tea of the ACC"

It is a dark time for the Hokie Nation. September 20, 2025. The Hokies return to a boisterous Dowdy-Ficklen Stadium to face their arch nemesis East Carolina, as the entire country waits with baited breath. Many are calling this a de facto play-in game for the college football playoff. Many more are saying the result doesn't matter; they'll both be in the playoffs once more; this is merely an appetizer, a chance for the two most dominant football programs of this decade to square off in what some consider to be the greatest rivalry of our time.

Joe,

This is my first forum post, so here's to hoping it goes well.

I was wondering how difficult it would be to create a public calendar with a schedule of events pertaining to all things TKP, Hokie, or otherwise. It could encompass games, special events, recruiting deadlines, and recruiting commitment announcements. Is this something that is feasible/time-worthy?

Does anyone else agree that this is something they would use?

And as always...Go Hokies!

Does he no longer posts his blog on here? Haven't seen it for a while...
Bring it back please.

This week's hate fest continues with our ACC divisional rival, ECU's Ruffin McNeill.

Ruffin Horne McNeill Jr. (seriously..."Jr"...why?) has been the HC for Da' Pirates since 12/2009 amassing an overall record of 38-29.

Fun fact, RHMj was a defensive back for ECU...I'll just leave you with this:

There were a lot of pictures of his weight loss...but just too funny not to post.

Also came across this image...proof that you can never delete anything from the internet:

No perfection this week, but a lot of clunkers, but not quite as bad as a Big 12 OOC schedule.

Leading the way at 5-1: HokieHonor, MsSusieCue, and Noel's Oasis

Eating the donuts at 0-6: 99Hokies03, Chachi, HightyTighty, HokieinJax, piercepj, Raleighwood, SevenLayersofPlayers, and TheManKev

Thanks for bearing with me everyone; sorry for the delay. The 'Hoos working for Time Warner won't let me access TKP at home, and I was out of town for a couple of weekends. Nonetheless, here are the results for Week 1. Weeks 2 and 3, with cumulative standings as of Week 3, to follow.

Flying out of the gate: cds7c, Chazz Michael Michaelzz, and VTrumpet

Stumbling out of the blocks at 1-5 (hooray, no 0-fers):
04hokie, Alum07, eshiben5, HokieStone, JBC, and NickVT10

so gobbler country had the latest coaching rumor, which was Chip Kelly pushed out at Philly and potential Hokie coach.

I still think Beamer has until 2016 at least. Not sure how Kelly would fit in culture wise. Someone did point out that Beamer and Kelly lack of NC is one of the only things they have in common.

Thoughts?

He punted a ball OVER the scoreboard today according to the VT snapchat.

He tweeted this on July 21st

So the indoor is 86.5 ft to the beams and I've cleared those.. What about the Home of the Hokies sign?! #AskTwitter pic.twitter.com/k9XmN2gKkc— AJ Hughes (@AJ_HughesVT) July 21, 2015

These are the rankings of where teams "should be" based on the caliber of their players. We rank 29th, which is right about where we're sitting this year. However, there are certainly some underachievers sitting behind us at 30.

As a Packers fan I noticed this last week but it seems as though Kyle Fuller has struggled quite a bit so far this year and has subsequently been benched. They replaced him in the 4th quarter this past weekend. Hopefully he gets it sorted out but its alarming how ineffective VT players in the pros have been thus far this year.

The Six Pick always feel better after an impressive VT win the week previous ... no matter how poorly you may have picked. I watched Leonard Fournette's running and Kliff Kingsbury's post game trash talking to prep me for week 4. I can conquer the world.

Power 5's Power Index

I like many of you have my fair share of game day traditions. Tailgating setup protocol, grilling items, favorite bourbon, pre game show/keyplay forum prep, lucky shirt, jersey and hat.

I am now starting to think that we are jinxing ourselves bad.

Before OSU: #DBU was on the lips of everyone and we got blasted.

Off Season: Sacksburg shirts are created and we have been in a drought lately regarding sacks.

Brewer: "its going to take more than that to take me out"... no need to say any more.

Superstition is getting out of hand in my life.

GO HOKIES!!!

What a great day it was to be in Lane Stadium. From 0-2 to Sugar Bowl champs. It started on that day.

I guess the Hokies were the icing/filling on the cake/pie in getting Purdue's QB benched in favor the backup Blough.

First up, the ACC Network -- This week, we get the final ACC/Big Ten challenge game. Currently, the two conferences are tied at 3-3, so this game will decide it. The big downside is that it's Indiana at Wake Forest. I don't see that one pulling in a lot of ratings.

Virginia viewing:
Blacksburg - WWCW - the CW station
DC/Nova - My20 WDCA
Richmond - CW Richmond 65
Tidewater - CW 27
Hooville - NBC 29
Harrisonburg - WHSV-DV4 (MyNetwork)

All of these stations have remained the same since week 2.

I saw this on /r/virginiatech this evening and had to share. Picture was originally titled "Classic UVA Football", there's no context other than that.
