It’s not often that taking a 10-0 lead early in the 3rd quarter feels like an insurmountable lead, but it sure felt that way on Friday night.  And as it turns out, that would be the way the game ended.  It was a gutsy, defensively dominant, and yes, boring effort from the Hokies.  And I loved every minute of it.

Huh.  WTF!?!?  That’s basically what I was thinking throughout much of the game on Saturday.  Read More

Well, *that* didn’t go well.  For the second time this year, VT had a Saturday night primetime game against a top 10 opponent, and for the second time this year VT shat the bed.  To be fair, I don’t think VT choked, I think we just aren’t all that good of a team yet.  Not a bad team, but not a top 10 team.  Read More

First, who doesn’t love some good discussion about uniforms?  So lets talk uniforms.  The two teams have apparently decided to make this game into a western movie, with the good guys wearing white:

and the bad guys dressed in black:

That’s pretty freakin awesome.

Also, today coach Fuente announced that backup senior LB Sean Heulskamp will wear the #25 against Miami.

Lastly, I created a “Big Beer Game” playlist on YouTube.  Because why not, really.   Now we just need to figure out how we can actually watch/listen to this at the tailgate, given that the cell service always sucks.  Are there any YouTube Red members out there?  Apparently you can download content to watch offline if you give them money.  Of course, one could also use money to buy all these songs and have them on their phone instead.  I also haven’t decided (if it ever DOES make it to the tailgate) whether it should be a one hour lead-in to the big beer game (ENDING with “Ace of Spades and “The Joker and the Thief”), or played DURING the big beer game as a countdown to departure (and BEGINNING with “Ace of Spades” and “The Joker and the Thief”).  Anyone got an opinion on that?  How about an opinion on the number of parenthetical asides and ALL CAPS in that last sentence?  Anyone?  Anyone?  Eat a bag.
