Because we're all Sunday morning quarterbacks.
inside cbs football had their upsets of the week just now:
a.a.ron and randy picked ecu over vt. both said ecu is good and emotionally we won't be ready.
ecu is a solid team. I hope our guys are ready and hear and see these programs to give them motivation. we need to beat the crap out of them.
This week's winners at at 6-0
JCtaughtMe, kingkluck, MiracleWaters, PRX Blacksburg
The bros who got worked at 1-5
amott22, Hokie_Wolf, Kville Hokies
Here is your combined weeks stats. let me know if any questions.
Thanks, Brooks.
Looking forward to the rematch but here's a question:
If we both win out what do you think the chances are of a rematch in the playoffs?
Will the narrative be:
A young OSU lost to the eventual ACC champ in a game that was pretty close for most of the time; as the season went on they kept getting better and are a much improved team
or
OSU lost their big game but won a weak B1G and so don't deserve a shot?
I think the PAC12\SEC\ACC winners are in which leaves the us and the Big12 on the bubble. Our best shot is a 2 loss conference champ and of course we need to win out , which is not a sure thing, because even winning the conference with 2 losses would keep any B1G team out.
Congrats on a solid win. You guys were the better team, and though it hurts, I congratulate you guys for a hard fought victory. Some observations:
-You guys brought more fans than any team in recent memory. Rivals Penn State/Michigan in terms of visitor attendance
-Your defensive pressure and third down conversions won the game
-I met and talked to a lot of Hokie fans both Friday and Saturday. Had a good time and respect you guys a lot as a fan base
-I didn't really see any trouble with OSU fans even after the game. Almost every one of my friends made sure to come up and shake your guys' hands, buy ya a beer/shot/etc. I hope this holds true for most of your experiences. If not, shame on us
So we talked about how great of a game Michael Brewer, Ryan Malleck, Bucky Hodges, Dadi Nicholas, and a few others played. But let's talk about how much of a legend Sam Rodgers was in that game. This is an open thread for TKP's great hero.
Tremendous article and great promotion for the VT offense.

Haven't seen this on the boards yet, though with so many people posting things these days it could be buried in one I haven't had a chance to read through yet. If that's the case I will drink. Screw it, I'll drink now.
I wouldn't say I read too many newspapers, but the few chances I've had to read a Roanoke Times paper, I've not been very impressed. Frequently, I find myself upset that their Sports page is so disorganized and short. This mistake is nearly unforgivable considering a win of this magnitude only happens once in a Hokie lifetime:

Bud Foster said the Hokies had a plan for OSU, a plan he would not reveal to the mass media. VTs defense responded to the challenge perfectly and terrorized J.T. Barret. The Buckeyes didnt see it coming. After a beat-down, the Buckeyes are about to regroup for their next team.

I hope they do well the rest of the season until they meet VT again.
So read this this morning on 11 warriors about their recruits. Had a small blurb about Josh Sweat.
DON'T SWEAT IT
Lots of people asking about it, so here it is, from a source close to Ohio State's side of the Josh Sweat recruitment.
"Things went great for Josh on his visit," the source shared with 11W. "But I still don't believe that we're real with (Sweat)."
Getting an official visit from the nation's top-ranked overall player was a huge step for the Buckeyes, but being his first visit means there's a long way left to go, but the Buckeyes are not feeling optimistic that they'll be able to land him at this point.
Saw it on Reddit, thought folks would enjoy it here. Reminds me a lot of the aftermath of going 11-0 in '99. These are memories that'll last a lifetime and I'm happy for everyone who was there both in Bburg and Columbus. If it's been posted already my bad, I'll drink.
Beat ECU
So, this is a thing...

Are we trying to channel our inner George Bush by declaring mission accomplished 2 weeks into the season? This makes Hokie Nation look bad.
