What ­a friggin’ game.  It was replayed on ESPN the other day, and of course, I watched the whole thing.  Is there anything better than watching an exciting game with the knowledge that your team pulls it out in the end?  The answer is no, no there is not.  Hit the jump.

 

 

-----------------------------------------

First things first, Logan Thomas, we owe you a small apology.  You kicked ass this game.  We knew you could, we just doubted ourselves.  Blah blah blah, stroke stroke stroke.  You may have gotten your nickname back from CGally, but you need to play as well in this game as you did in the Miami game.  Then, and only then, will you officially be the “Tank Engine”.  Look, I want you to have this nickname, I really do.  But you need to earn it.  So get out there and do it.

Alright, that much is done, and CGally covered our ongoing lack of joy with the offensive coaching staff, so no need to beat a dead horse.  Let’s move onto predictions.

Holy crap were we all off.  The closest score prediction was 27 total points away from the actual score.  The winner of the prediction challenge last week was none other than:  Wright!  Well done sir.  Well, I guess not really, but more well done than the rest of us.  To be fair, Wright also called that this game could be an instant ESPN classic game, and sure as shit, he was wright (get it?).  For this epic win, you get an epic prize!

The CLASSIC Billy Joel album, Storm Front.  Enjoy.  It’s got a hurricane flag on the front.

----------------------------------------------------

Let’s move onto the predictions for this week.

BDubs: Logan continues his momentum with 250 yards and 2 TDs with another 40 and a score on the ground.  David Wilson goes for 135 and a TD while the defense has some early struggles, but settles down.  Hokies win 34-17

DiP: 34-13 hokies……

d_w: 37 - 17 Hokies Win.  Offense takes over. Defense stays strong.

Wright: Hokies 27-17

Poppa Gally: Ok….We give up our usual touchdown on their first possession, 7-0 at 5:00 min into the game. Then we runback the kick, block a punt……at the half VT 24- Wake 7…second half we score 3 times, Wake 0……… VT 45 – 7!!!!

CMU Football Analyst: 30-10 Hokies over the Demon Deacons in the battle of the weird mascots.

Hokie Ambassador to Philly Milwaukee:  Thomas and Wilson both have big days, the defense adds a pick six, and the Hokies roll 38 - 17

Maniak: If you don’t make the pump up song of the week 'come on ride that [thomas the tank engine] train' there is something wrong with you.  We destroy the pedophile from Family Guy 38-14 with SOME SPECIAL TEAMS PLAYS FINALLY.

Hokie Guru: The Hokies should be able to run vs. Wake Forest... DMFW with 150 on the ground, Logan Thomas with 247 through the air... worried, though, about Josh Harris, WF back who gashed our D for 241 last year (no status on whether he plays)... Hokies will prevail by the score of 31 to 16.

JMcB: 42-17 HOKIES

Logan Thomas for President.

And our mascot isn't weird. We at least have a story behind ours. Theirs...just sucks

SHitzel: 28-7 hokies....bud may throw the lunch pail at someone if wake scores more then 7 points (preferably stinespring although I know he has nothing to do with defense)

Token Girl: 41-24 I believe. GO HOKIES.

CGally: 45 - 17 Hokies. Wake Forest remembers that they aren't a good team and gives up by halftime.

The Northerner: The Demon Deacons are actually doing well in the ACC this season.  I think it’s going to be close.  Hokies win 24-17.

-------------------------------

There you have it.  As always leave your predictions in the comments section.  I swear we check the comments for prediction winners too, its just that no one was remotely close this past week.

Gobble gobble, bitches.

Let’s Go Hokies!!
