The Old Spice Guy, you are not.
Gah-Tech visits Blacksburg tomorrow. And NO ONE beats Virginia Tech at home on Thursday. Starting this year.
Jump like a G6…

Non-Metallica Pump-Up Song of the Week
Song 2 is often played after goals at Penguin games. They kinda suck right now, and we've missed hearing it.
(Don't ask about the video. We have no idea either.)
----------------
I think we can confidently say that Georgia Tech has become our main rival. WVU is no longer on the schedule. UVA sucks. Miami blows. And it seems like the Coastal Division is always a battle between us and the Yellow Jackets.
There have been 5 ACC Championship games. The score: VT – 3; GT – 2.
Our fan base is similar. Our schools are similar.
The big difference? Their high school, bull-shit offense.
----------------
The Bad Guys
The Jackets are… ok. They’ve lost to Clemson, NC State, and Kansas (ugh… Kansas…). They haven’t really beat anyone… but neither have the Hokies.
We know they run the option. It’s super lame and gimmicky.
AND IT ALWAYS BEATS US!!
We just can’t figure it out, and it’s incredibly frustrating.
How has such a simple offense confounded the best defensive coordinator in the business? Are we TOO good? TOO fast?
Let’s just hope none of our guys blow out a knee when their o-line throws a cheap cut blocks on us.
On the other side of the ball, the Yellow Jackets are coached by… Al-freaking-Groh. Not even a joke. This guy was hired in conference.
And if there’s one thing Beamer knows how to do, it’s beat Al Groh*.
*Also, Hungry Hungry Hippos. Beamer is the king of Hungry Hungry Hippos.

The Good Guys
As always, we start with our boy, RMFW. This week, his status is…. AWESOME.
He’s playing, and he’s going to rock the house.
Tyrod is lighting it up. Evans will be full strength. And our receivers will continue to be awesome while not really getting the ball as much as they should.
And now…deep breath….we can’t believe this is going on the NEZ….
The offense will be fine. It’s the defense we have to worry about.
Holy shit, what is this season?? How can that sentence be accurate?
We’ve put up a massive 41 points per game since that one game. All it took was a seasoned quarterback and three all-conference running backs.
Despite having the better nicknames on the defensive side of the ball, history says that we will struggle to stop Georgia Tech.
We don’t know football enough to tell you what they should do. We probably shouldn’t be telling anyone to do anything at all. But Clemson held them to 13 points. So I guess… just do that.
----------------
The Game
This game is pretty much it. The ACC Championship Game might as well go to the winner.
Yes, we have a 2 game lead. But the tough road ahead does not bode well if we drop this game.
Hopefully, the offense can get us in front quickly. This will force Nesbitt to pass, something he's not particularly good at, especially for a guy playing quarterback.
It's going to rain, which could make a big difference.
But we like our games like we like our women: sloppy.

Pumpkin Carving of the Week
From Matt:
We in the West AJ small group from IVCF (InterVarsity Christian Fellowship) thought you’d enjoy this picture of our carved pumpkins this year. Keep up the awesome work on the blog! Go Hokies!
Freaking. Awesome.
We'd call Matt an avid reader, but he called our work "awesome." Clearly, he's new here.

RMFW T-Shirt Sighting of the Week
Each week, we’ll post another avid reader wearing their awesome (and very affordable!) RMFW t-shirt. Send in your picture, and you too could be showcased on a mid-level Virginia Tech blog!
From Sasha:
Here's long time commentator DCno10 getting his art-geek on in his RMFW shirt.
Sasha, after 2 months at Carnegie Mellon, I can confidently say that anyone wearing Tech apparel is not a geek. I saw people playing quidditch the other day.
We’re also going to throw in an RMFW quote from this week:
“Statistically, I don’t care. I want to win; I want to be able to get to the ACC championship [game]," Williams said. "Statistically, I got stats from last year. I’m just not 100 percent. In the first two games I was in, our offense wasn’t gelling the way it should have been. Unfortunately when I got hurt we started knowing what we needed to do, so stat-wise, the first two games didn’t look so [good]. It ain’t no big thing, though. We're 6-2 right now."
It ain’t no big thing. Hot-damn, we love it.

Hokie Motivator(s) of the Week
Each week, the Carnegie Mellon Football Analyst submits his own Hokie Motivator...
This week, your humble editor adds his own:
----------------
Replacement Offensive Coordinator
Despite the offenses recent resurgence, we remain unconvinced. Voldemort will continue to be replaced weekly.
This game is all about redemption. Redemption from the embarrassing loss last year, when the Hokies were ranked 4th.
And last year, we went with possibly the most badass man in the history of the United States. No doubt, he let us down.
But he’s back. And he wants redemption.
So we’re giving another chance to…
General Sherman
Burn them to the f*cking ground.
LET’S GO HOKIES!!!
