Oh boy. We got conference games starting now. This is where it goes down. Clemson predictions after the jump.
----------------------------------------
First things first, the winner from last week. You’re not going to believe it. A girl won. And not even the veteran girl. The new girl. Gross. A few of us were close, namely me and CGally, but we weren’t close enough. She nailed the score on the head. Perfect prediction. Damn it. I’m calling beginners luck. Anyway, because I’m legally bound to do this, I have to give the win to newcomer, and lifelong girl, SHitzel. Good job. You win:
A VHS copy of Cahill, United States Marshal, starring John MFing Wayne. Either that or a pile of turds from a herd of buffalo. You pick.
Onto the predictions!
BDubs: This game is eerily similar to that of our 2007 game with Clemson. Back then, they Cullen Harper had James Davis, CJ Spiller, and Jacoby Ford - one of the most dynamic offenses in the ACC. That team started 4-0. This year, the Tigers have Tajh Boyd, Andre Ellington, and Sammy Watkins - again with one of the best offenses in the ACC. This year they are 4-0.
In 2007, they took on the Hokies and that dynamic duo of Davis and Spiller (or Thunder and Lightning) were held to a mere 12 yards rushing and the Hokie defense and special teams took care of the rest. This year, while the Hokies special teams are nothing to brag about, the defense is one of the best in the nation.
As long as Thomas takes care of the ball and we take advantage of scoring opportunities, the Hokies will own the Tigers. VT 27 Clemson 14
(Ed. Note: kid gets his own blog and suddenly he thinks he’s Hokie Guru.)
DiP: 23-17 hokies
d_w: 34 - 24 Hokies win. Game is a close one until the 4th quarter when Bud Foster goes ballistic and gets the Hokie D fired up.
Wright: A typical game where I'd pick against the good guys and receive some wonderful hate mail. But I'll avoid since I'm still pissed about the Braves playing like the Pirates for the month of September. VT wins 27-23, back and forth game until Cris Hill seals the game late with an INT.
Poppa Gally: No prediction sent in (again x2), but let's assume a Hokies win!!!!!!!!!!!!! and a BLOCKED KICK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
CMU Football Analyst: 35-17 tech. No analysis behind that at all, I'm on vacation bitches
Hokie Ambassador to Philly Milwaukee: 27 - 17 Hokies
Maniak: Hokies win, but it will be a tough one, LT throws a pick late but we hold on to seal the win by forcing a late fumble or punt block for 6. they get even less yards on the ground than in 2008. hokies 23, le tigre 21
Maniak’s Hebrew Roommate: Guy wins one prediction challenge and suddenly he’s too good for the rest of them.
Hokie Guru: Hokies not only win, but cover the spread by 7 by wining 31-14.
GWay: I may have gone to both schools, but there's only one I care about. Hokies 31 Tigers 28 in a close game.
Meet Bag: Night game in the burg... No stopping the Hokies. 31-21
SHitzel: I went to both tech and Clemson but I was born and raised a hokie! Hokies 24-20
Sorry clemson the run down the hill isn't the most exciting 25 seconds in college football
Token Girl: I'm going to go with 27-20 hokies
CGally: Yeah, this game terrifies me. But I think the tank engine keeps it between the lines, DMFW goes for 100, and the defense gets a score. 27 - 24 Hokies.
The Northerner: This is going to be a tough one. Clemson seems to have their stuff together. However, they don’t have David Wilson, and, can we mention him more now?, Josh Oglesby. However, Danny Coale has a big day, too. Hokies win 24 – 21.
There you have it. As always, put your in the comments section.

As a sidenote, even though CGally bashed Boston fans in the interview, which was NOT representative of the other contributor to this site, I feel obligated to post this.
That blew.
---------------------------------------------
Clemson, baby! Let’s get our first ACC win of the year!
Gobble gobble, bitches.
Let’s go HOKIES!!
