My concern this off week is not having a repeat against Miami of the way the VT game at Bobby Dodd played out last year. By that I mean everything seemed lined up for Tech to be pumped for that game. We had all those All Americans back, signing autographs and being honored, big night game...

Mack, don't worry about Jacket1515 he was just slyly referring to the term muff being used in some r-rated ways in slang. He was making a joke on that word and not about anything you wrote. He didn't want to derail the thread with a vulgar joke but still couldn't resist it. I too thought...

I agree that it should be fixable but all of last year and in 4 games so far this year he has been completely consistent in what he can and cannot do. So far he has not been a jack of all trades at kicking. If that changes then great but until he can do it consistently in practice then it is...

Also, what is Jasper doing losing that ball in that situation period. Whether he was down or not if you hold onto the ball it isn't an issue. Especially in any sort of pile where refs are not going to be able to see clearly.

I will take this opportunity to make my observation on Butker. Getting into a second year now he is incredibly consistent in what he does well and what he does poorly. He is a distance kicker, has an incredibly strong leg. But he cannot kick from hash marks unless he is very deep as well. It...

Ken is going from this interview/report from CPJ where coach says Searcy is trying out at Field Corner. May have been true yesterday and not today. He is definitely trying to break the 2 deep at corner though. https://ct.yimg.com/mr/uploads/1032/1596008.WMA

Ok thanks, I have a thread jacking thought on the Snoddy anecdote but will just archive it (email it to myself) for an offseason thread. I am curious as to who CPJ would have wanted in on the play since he was so shocked about it being Snoddy. My guess would be Days.

Looking at the first five on this list just demonstrates to me that most college teams and their fans do not understand the concept of a "fight song." "The Victors" is a victory march song. Great history, tradition, story, connections to Gerald Ford and John Philip Sousa and it is a...

It would be nice to see ESPN provide interesting coverage of sports pretty much any time. TV journalism is prone to being seriously weak in general with ulterior motives as well as mob mentality on what counts as "newsworthy" anyway, and sports journalism is the worst form of tv journalism overall.

[Potential thread hijack] Was Days in when Snoddy had that fumbled pitch with Thomas? Just curious given CPJ's story that he went ballistic about who had put Snoddy in the game so I wonder if he would have wanted Days in there.

I can't personally root for either. If you press me I don't truly believe that my rooting for a team or other superstitions effects the outcome of a game. However, if in fact I am wrong and the universe is formed in a manner where such things have any impact at all then I am only going to root...

Or my alternate thread title: "Consecutive Good 'Unit Possessions' Key In Close Games" I think that a fundamental problem Tech has had the last several years in our many close losses has been not so much the "Big Mo" momentum battle in terms of long stretches of game as that is hard to get...

I know Days made one critical block on a pass play where he is looking back at Thomas and forcing his guy into an angle to open the passing lane to a WR. Thomas was rolling to his right and ended up throwing the ball past Days head/back to get to the WR. Considering the low number of...

Good amendment. The referent of "this" in my statement is too imprecise as you are right, character doesn't just form suddenly in a year. I should have been more specific that I think his buy-in to CPJ's offensive system in just a year is fantastic. I loved his arguing with Waters' premise by...

I think his coaching has been consistent but the psychology of the team has been inconsistent. Two examples of how it feels different with the team this year just from the VT post-game interviews: 1) CPJ has really said some completely over-the-top or even out of character things in praise of...

That is how I saw it, except far more detailed. I was disappointed in the flag not so much because the ref got it wrong but because I did not think Deon needed to go with such a high risk block there. That is, JT was already on a very positive gain so the worst case scenario is that the guy...

Geez, VT sure hasn't represented the Coastal well at home with 5 losses to the Atlantic division. Only 5 total home losses to Coastal opponents and 3 of those are from last season or the current one.

I think he probably also isn't scared to go to class. So I am hoping for a nickname that doesn't recall someone too recent and so much the primadonna as Manziel.

That is the thing exactly. A loss at home to ECU (clearly a good team) coming off a big road win at OSU (another really hard place to get a win) was a "tough" loss. But to follow it up with that kind of scatter-brained performance (penalties galore) and even squander such unbelievable "luck"...

I loved it! The Hokies deserve to play in a sadium. Actually, next time I want to see Tech fans steal the team and replace it with a "P" for polytechnic. Hokies should be playing in a Spadium . . . they don't deserve the T.
