Someone put Ilovetheoption on special observation

Mendenhall needs a strength “get back coach” to pull him away when he calls for a field goal or lets time expire

Hopefully Wake Forest beats Duke tomorrow and gets bowl eligible

That was going to be my next post. Glad you did not tag him. As @knoxjacket said, we know the feeling all too well.

Respectfully disagree 'Cuse. Yes we may have lost a few here and there that we probably should have won...but 15iar??? I can't (and don't want to) imagine what that feels like. This has to be the most lopsided in-state or end of year rivalry in the world (in a state where both programs imagine themselves as more or less competing at the same level).

I can't believe UVa lost it. With two minutes to go and up a score and the ball. ESPN is showing the kick in the nuts game this was with their win probability tracker. Right at 100% for UVa.

Of course, I tell my wife UVa has it and she tells me I'm wrong. She's watched too much GT football to know it ain't over till it's over. http://www.espn.com/college-football/game/_/gameId/401013183

Go Marshall.

Don’t know how it feels to lose 15 in a row, but the way they lost that game to a hated rival felt all too familiar.

The Virginia fans on the Sabre Message Board were talking about Bronco Mendenhall being fired after the 2019 season and someone brought up that his buyout is 18.1 million

Paul Johnson will help with the buyout if they need it

The dagger for VPI fans will be when they lose to Marshall. M whooped OD and VT...didn't. Crazy win. Can't believe how many points VT put up and how UVA didn't. They looked really good against us.

Bronco Mendenhall and Virginia shat the bed late in the 4th quarter with horrible playcalling

I feel for UVa fans everywhere and especially for @ilovetheoption

I watched the Oklahoma-West Va game last night. WV should have won that game. They would have, except for four plays that all fall on coaching.

1- The failure to kick a FG on 4th down and the score tied at 14.
2- A QB fumble and return for a TD on a pass play that never materialized. Why not just take the sack?
3- #2 happened again in the 2nd half.
4- A run to the OU two yard line was called back because a WV player blocked the OU cornerback a full ten yards after they were both out of bounds. Instead of the OU 2, WV had the ball on their own 41.

The final score was 59-56.

I think that loss knocked West Virginia into the Camping World Bowl against NCSU

 

[MikeJackets1967]

Who do you think will still be coaching in 2020 Virginia coach Bronco Mendenhall or Virginia Tech Coach Justin Fuente? I have a feeling one of them will have a poor 2019 season and get canned. If i had to guess who it would be i would say i think it will be Justin Fuente who gets canned. I think VT will hover around 6-6 in 2019 and that will be enough for him to be fired. I think the 18.1 million dollar buyout of Bronco Mendenhall will be too much for Virginia to let him go before 2020 or 2021.

That assumes NCSU beats UNC today. I think that could be harder than most predictions suggest.

I think NCSU wins over North Carolina 49-31 ending Larry Fedora's time as North Carolina head football coach.

Mike, I am not knowledgeable enough about the team I follow to know what's going to happen from week to week. I don't have the skillset to know, or even guess, whats going to happen at other programs 2-3 years down the road. You are more forward looking than I....what do think the Dow Jones Industrial Average will be then?
