So it’s been a few days now, and we’ve all had some time to reflect. The N has posted a good run down of pretty much everyone’s feelings following the game, so this post is more for my benefit.
First of all, that game was freaking AWESOME. We get a lot of things as Hokie fans, but last second victories are not often experienced. Hell, the last one was Shayne Graham’s field goal at Mountaineer Field.
Ironically, your humble editor was at both games. Beating WVU was pretty sweet, but the celebration was a little subdued for my own safety. But this game?? Holy. Shit.
Never in my life have I been happier to be sitting in the North End Zone. For the last 2 minutes of the game, that place was absolutely on fire. It was ear-shatteringly loud. I hugged people I’ve never met before. Someone was stabbed with a trident. It was insane. I know that’s not everyone’s cup of tea, but I will sit in the student section until I’m obviously too old. (This is probably already the case, but let me pretend.)
-------------------------
Ok, now that the jubilation is out of the way, let’s get down to business: we are not a good football team.
I’ve never seen so many pissed off people after victory. The offense was anemic. The defense looked vulnerable. Did I mention the offense was anemic?
Seriously, we are ready to lead the mob with pitchforks and torches. This is getting absurd. 1st and goal from the three. My exact words: “Wait, what are we doing in the f***ing shotgun?!?!” 8 yard sack. Facepalm.
Who even thought we had a chance at winning that game when we got the ball back? Jesus, did we make it over the 50 yard line in the 2nd half prior to the last drive? We held a ranked to to nothing but field goals and needed a last second touchdown to win. Pathetic doesn’t begin to describe our offense.
I mean, it’s 3 days later, and I’m still angry. I want to start a movement of wearing neon green shirts with “Fire Stinespring” on the front to protest at each game. There has to be something that can be done. It’s a damn good thing Blacksburg is freaking awesome, because I’m getting tired of driving 4 hours to see us dry heave all over the field when we get the ball.
-------------------------
All that said, I think we can put this one to rest. The game was fun, and Nebraska fans were nothing but classy.
But it’s freaking Miami week, people. Erections lasting four days may be caused by Hokie football.
