Ok, for sure i’m all about talking about the new offense

You are the one setting the bar not me.
Lose to Duke...fire CGC
I wonder if VT fans say the same thing about us that we say about Duke?I think we all realize that Duke isn't a bottom feeder, anymore. I think we also realize that losing 4 of 5 to them should never happen. Cut simply had CPJ's number. The thing I like to see is us getting commitments from kids with Duke offers. Ultimately, UNC under Mack is going to be tougher than Duke the next few years, IMO.

Yes but they use a different accent when they say something.I wonder if VT fans say the same thing about us that we say about Duke?

Whiskey keeps is saying 4 of 5 because it sounds better than last we were 1 SCORE FROM BEING SWEEP 5 BY DUKE.precedent dictates we get to lose 4 of 5 before being fired, er, "retiring".
I can't believe you're diminishing wins because of the margin of victory. smh. If you do that, then you have to count close losses to good teams as almost wins. And we've had plenty of those over the years.Whiskey keeps is saying 4 of 5 because it sounds better than last we were 1 SCORE FROM BEING SWEEP 5 BY DUKE.
Coaching is the only factor in all 5 games.
Looking back WAS our offense so great in 2014 that Coach and staff deserved a big salary increase and long term contract?
In 2014 we lost to Duke and beat 2 teams on last play desperation scramble pass.
In 2014 after the Duke unc defeats., 2 things happened that explain the last half of 2014 and 2015.
Sadly, we can only go up in regards to playing Duke. I've been sweating bullets for the past 5 years though not so much in 2018, as that game was over by halftime.
It was a 7-7 tie until we turned the ball over with about 2 minutes left in the 3rd quarter. Us turning the ball over three times in 2 minutes, on three successive plays, is what gave that game away. It was very much a game until then.
I wouldn't worry about the BBs being fast enough. The main shotgun running plays don't require blazing speed to make them work, as long as the QB runs the ball too. There's a good deal of deception in a properly run shotgun spread if that happens. And our OC would be a fool if he doesn't make that a center piece of the O.You may be right but I saw an awful lot of missed pitch opportunities and it seemed to me -- admittedly the TV tube is not the best perspective -- he had already made up his mind to turn it up. Whichever it often turned an exciting offense into ho-hum. It will be interesting to see this fall whether our "bbacks" are fast enough and slippery enough to translate to tailback. (And apparently you missed the memo about running the ball being so old-fashioned, yesterday's news.)

Ironic how Bud Foster got so dumb and Cut got so smart about the same time.I wonder if VT fans say the same thing about us that we say about Duke?
Owned... past tense. What will you think if he owns (present tense) CGC?It’s relevant in this discussion, 1 score away from losing 5 in a row to freaking duke, Cutcliffe owns CPJ.

Um, he hasn't coached a game yet. Are you implying that people would excuse such a record because we have googly eyes for Coach Collins? Not a chance.
We sat on our wallets and wore the man out.
