Are we sure it's Thacker and not Tillman we should keep?

Actually, that might be a good idea on 3rd and 1 as opposed to a pass... Or at least have him in motion from the left and have him crack the DT on a dive play. That would have been fun to watch at least once.

Well, it's one thing saying "I think this would have happened in these circumstances." It's another thing entirely to say "This 100% would have happened in these circumstances." The person who was challenged on the Abanakanda made a definitive statement of certainty that Pitt would have won, and...

LOL. Go big or go home! The crazy thing is how few scores UVA got despite the high number of opportunities we gave them with 3&Outs, etc. Their starting field position in the 2nd half was crazy good, but they still failed to score. Sure, they were partly to blame for that...but our D had a lot...

I actually was thinking at one point in the game...."Could Long be throwing this game for some reason?" I'm sure it isn't true, but the fact that it crossed my mind speaks volumes about my thoughts on how well the game was called.

He's our QB and there's really no gain in dumping on him. I think if he was healthy in that game last night we would have won it, as it would have forced them to account for the RPO. As it was we had zero RPO, they knew it early, and forced us to pass the ball. Can we prove it...of course not...

Blue is for losers, evidently...

I've got four years of eligibility left and played JV QB back in 1979. Maybe I should enroll and give it a shot! ;) j/k I don't blame the young man for not being ready near as much as I can't stomach giving up when there's an ounce of breath left in you.

And I'm not going to blame it on some really, really bad calls. But...the game quite possibly had ended differently were it not for the terrible PI and non-PI calls.

And the flask. Don't forget the flask.

What did you expect? UVA is really bad. We all thought Sims was healthy. And we are fans living on the high of the first 'win streak' in something like 40 months. It's not like we are sports journalists and even they are embarrassingly horrible when it comes to actually predicting outcomes.

After that debacle last night I'm not sure anyone worth having will want this job. I think the program is in worse shape now than it was when TFFG started.

Nope. He said he knew that time had run out and decided to just end the game instead of make a bad play...

Yeah. But maybe he's thinking...Almost anything I do can't be worse than this.

FIFY

True, I'm just guessing and under the influence of knowing that we can't have nice things...

I'm guessing Pyron is gone after this season.

You. Don't. Give. Up. Give your team a chance and go down fighting. Anything else is soft. Full stop.

It seemed like Smith was gaining some yards when he was in the game. But then they took him out and we never saw him again. Does Long dislike him so much that he'd rather lose the game than put him in? Or is my memory bad about the series with Smith in the first half?

This. I'm so depressed thinking we get to have another rebuild period of three to four years of meh. The fact that we don't have a backup QB worth spit is sad. The fact that we tried to use said QB to pass our way to success is downright mind-boggling.
