So this week is the beginning of the season.  I'm very excited.  The previous three "exhibition" games were heartbreaking, but now is when we need to play like the Hokies.  It happened in the second half of last game, so let's hope it continues.  Onto the predictions!

But first we need to FINALLY give you the winner from last week.  And that winner is:

The Hokie Ambassador to Philly!!

Congratulations! In honor of the team we crushed, you win season tickets to (Pittsburgh) Pirates games all next season!

CGally got them for free when he brought in three shirts to get dry cleaned.  Enjoy!

Now, really, onto the predictions!

BDubs: You guys are silly to think BC will keep this close.  They are no better than ECU.  The Hokies will stuff Montel Harris and the rest of BC will fall apart.  Hokies win easily -- 34-10

DiP: 23-10 hokies.....gamblers take the under at 49 all day

d_w: 38 - 17.. Hokies go back to basics.. 2 INT's for Carmichael (1 for a TD).. D. Wilson and RMFW each get a TD.. Boykin gets a TD.. Yeah I am going high power offense here, lets see what shakes out.

Wright: The key to the game is going to be to stop Montel Harris on the ground and force BC to throw the ball. This causes Carmichael to get yet another pick late in the redzone to seal. Last week's wake up call in the second half provides the spark we need. Hokies win a close one, 31-27.

Poppa Gally: [Out for the week, playing crew chief to your humble editor's cousin. Side note: he just won the National Championship.]

CMU Football Analyst: 33-17 Maroon and Orange - Tyrod shows glimpses of Mike Vick pre-incarceration.

Maniak: 20-7 hokies. I have no scientific evidence whatsoever to back this up

Hokie Ambassador to Philly: Good guys win 27-17 - DW and Tyrod each score a touchdown and the defense and special teams take care of the rest

Hokie Guru: 24-10, Hokies. I have absolutely no confidence in BC's QB, Dave Shinskie,  a former baseball player.

JMcB: 42-14, Hokies. Bud Foster makes a human sacrifice on BC's field to scare away the spirit of Matt Ryan.

GWay: 28-14 Hokies. Evans finally returns to form, we give BC the proverbial punch in the face and Heather Dinich is proven to be a hack reporter once again.

Token Girl: 34 - 21 Hokies....i'll have drinks in bburg for everyone...maybe even a power hour?

CGally: Gee, the two douches that picked Tech to lose last week are the first ones to pick us to win this week. Shocker.

Also, Tech wins, 23 - 21 on a last second field goal.

The Northerner: We’re going to light the metaphorical bag of dog shit on Old Man Shinkskie’s lawn.  35 – 17 VT.

There you have it. I'll be down in Blacksburg this weekend for a wedding, so if anyone is down there, come to Sharkey's (probably) and watch the game with me and the Token Girl and some of our friends. But not CGally.  Kid is a slag.

Gobble gobble, bitches.
