Football Forum
Because we're all Sunday morning quarterbacks.
Here at Virginia Tech we take a certain pride in our special teams when most football fans consider it an afterthought. Our head coach coaches the special teams and always says "As long as I have a good quarterback, a good kicker and my health is good, I am going to keep on going." After some questionable years I think he has found his kicker in Joey Slye. Yes he missed 46-yarder in the fourth, but to put a true freshman out there in that situation speaks to Beamer's confidence in him. But there are other reasons, mainly, as Oceanfront Hokie said "That's a bad bad man." You don't think a kicker can be a badass?

Hokiesports posted a video with some game-day sound bites from players and coaches. Thought it was pretty cool.

Not much you can say about the situation other than its disappointing that it has taken this long for it to happen. Supposedly, the NFL had the video that was made public when it originally happened and they reviewed it before suspending him. If that's the case, it looks real real bad on the league for the team to cut him now, only after the video went public.

Long time lurker, first time poster. It occurred to me that an appropriate nickname for Brewer might be "The Fisher". Brewer is a obviously a fisherman, but he also shares many qualities of the animal of the same name, that likes to hang out in the deep woods, is deceptively cute but still a deadly predator, and will scavenge what it can when no meat on the hoof is readily available.

Congratulations Hokies on the win. It is a big win for VT historically, even if the Buckeyes didn't look like an historically great team on Saturday night. The Hokies certainly had a great deal to do with how bad the Bucks looked though. VT defeated Ohio State in every single phase of the game without question. The entire OSU team, from the head coach down, was woefully under-prepared for the attack that VT brought to Columbus. Very, very bold and impressive defense. And I believe you have found yourselves a quarterback. I have always admired Beamer Ball and great defense, but I believe I'll also be channel surfing toward VT games this year in order to watch that heady QB.

I know we've talked about a ton of guys who have provided to the resurgence (Brewer, Hodges, Ford, Williams, McKenzie), but I wanna give a shoutout to Derek Di Nardo for really stepping his game up this year. He's flat out flying all over the place. Being in the right spot at the right time. Making key plays (no pun intended). I had banked on Van Dyke being the WHIP but if Di Nardo can continue to play like this, it might not make a difference. Add him with Williams and Clarke and our LB's are looking super strong on an already loaded defense. Keep it up young buck!!!

Passed Corey Marshall on campus this morning in a walking boot and it looked like he had a considerable limp. Hopefully it's not that serious but we will see what develops in the coming days.

Anybody at the game notice the announcer kept crediting J.C. Coleman with Ekanem's stats? It was hilarious.

Grabbed this from an article (a free one) over at TSL. Pretty nice to see.

You have come to our community and acted with incredible class, both before and after the game. From all account, those of us that went to Columbus found your fans there to be just as courteous.
I am humbled by your sportsmanship, and hope that all of us can show just as much grace next year when you come to our house.
I apologize for any of our fans that are trolling your website. Obviously, every group of people is cursed with its share of malcontents who take pleasure in being jackasses.
We do our best in the TKP comments section to self-police, but I'm sure I don't need to tell you just how futile that often is.

I have been a VT fan since I attended the university in 2002. I have gone through Bryan Randell, MV2, Sean Glennon, Tyrod Taylor and Logan Thomas. Everyone of these QBs took a bit of time to gain faith in them. Michael Brewer came onto the campus in May, won the starting job with one week till the season starter, and by the second quarter of the OSU game, I have never felt more relaxed with a QB at the VT helm. Compared to Logan he's a shrimp. Compared to Tyrod he's a sloth. But to me he's just so relaxed and under control that it rubs off on me (no homo) and I love it. In only two games he's become one of my favorite VT QBs. Anyone else feel this sentiment?
