I would only hazard a guess for number 1. I am going with winning one more game for a record of 4-8 which is what I predicted preseason. However, it is entirely possible that we do not win any more games and finish with three wins for the third year in a row. Something that has not been...

That does not work for us especially on fourth downs.

Well, they just found themselves a gunslinger quarterback named Van Dyke that outdueled Kenny Pickett today so I don't think we will be beating Miami. Maybe Boston "College will oblige us.

I agree. The sad part is that except for Tre Turner, this is a mediocre Virginia Tech team that is light years away from the glory days of Frank Beamer. If we played them 10 times, each team would probably win 5. They are not even good on defense like they used to be and don't block kicks...

About that Miami game...they have a new quarterback that is making Manny look like a genius...no small feat that.

Disappointed. I actually thought we could beat them. After watching their games against Notre Dame and Syracuse, I was pretty convinced that Virginia Tech had some good players but was dysfunctional enough on offense that we could stop them. In the prediction thread, I predicted that we would...

Turner, #11 is the guy you have to shut down. They run a lot of jet sweeps and are good at blocking on the perimeter. Burmeister is a good athlete but for some reason has run the ball more than anyone else with uneven results. I don't know what to expect from either of the two Techs this year...

I am with you. This is an offense that struggles to get much more than 300 yards a game, cannot execute in the red zone, and is dysfunctional on so many levels. Burmeister is inconsistent, receivers drop balls and the running game is on again, off again. Burmeister runs the ball too much and...

It is actually worse than that. Last night I watched the Notre Dame - Virginia Tech game. At the time, the Irish were 4-1 and were ranked 14th while the Hokies were 3-1 and unranked. Lane Stadium was rocking and rolling that night. To be honest, Virginia Tech lost that game late in the first...

Upon further review, CFN points out that Georgia Tech is last in the ACC in 3rd down conversions, does not do a good job in controlling the clock because of what is described as a "hit and miss" run defense that allowed UVA to rush for 240 yards last week. Yet, they contend that the Jackets...

What do Miami, Georgia Tech, Virginia Tech, FSU, and Duke all have in common? Give up? All of them sit at a season record of 3-4 going into Saturday's game. For some of them it will be a huge step towards bowl eligibility and salvaging a currently mediocre season, for others it will be a...

Now that is just not nice...kind of funny but definitely not nice.

If Florida is patient, not a given with that fan base, they can probably get Manny real cheap soon or they could just promote Randy Shannon who was a competent defensive coordinator once upon a time. Either way, Coach Collins is not going anywhere anytime soon, certainly not as someone else's...

Were they named the "Bengals"?

They always do. The one constant in the soap opera that is Miami, is an ongoing river of talent (by Tech standards of course) that just goes on and on. Manny did a fine job for Richt and it is what he is best suited for. He will make someone a fine recruiter and defensive coordinator soon.

Watching a slow white boy with a knee brace go tearing through Tech's defense like the second coming of Cam Newton was...curious.

My Florida friends ridicule this notion as far fetched because Mullen is notoriously stubborn and thin skinned when it comes to his friends who are on his staff. He will stick with the DC in spite of all evidence to the contrary that he is not very good.

Well, Mack Brown fired him at Texas when he was in that capacity, I think. Miami fans have never forgiven Blake James for conducting the fastest coach search of all time essentially offering the job to Manny after he had accepted the job at Temple which necessitated Miami having to shell out...

You are underestimating the fury of the Miami fan base at both of those characters. The AD did not conduct a coaching search he simply named Manny for political reasons. The people with the money were the ones that wanted that screw up. They have more money than sense.

Manny has his "signature win" for the season beating NC State. It will not matter they are going to fire him and the AD if the fanatics on Canesinsight have their way. Cause for concern for Tech is the Hurricanes have found themselves a quarterback while the rest of them are busily calling...
