OK.  So, we're 7-3 right now.  Big deal.  Do we have some talent?  Yes we do.  Do we have anyone other than Erick Green who wants to consistently put up points in games?  No.  Not at all.  The good news is that we did take care of Norfolk State, but again, it wasn't pretty.  We tend to let teams stick around longer than they should and that gets a bit worrisome.  Though, should we really be surprised given that we follow Virginia Tech basketball?  Ah well. Corso it.  We play Campbell on Saturday, so let's get right to it. Jump it.

Oh, you totally called an SEC team in the BCS Championship? Big whoop, wanna fight about it?

Think you know more about college football than we do? Well, you'll have to get in line.

But a better way to prove it is to join our Bowl Pick 'em contest. You get a personalized (with puffy paint) DMFW t-shirt, a copy of powerhour, and a beer courtesy of yours truly.

Choose your Replacement Offensive Coordinator carefully. 

It's a really good thing we won that game against Rhode Island.  Turns out they are actually pretty terrible because in their next game, they got absolutely blown out by Georgia State - they lost by 32!!  Man, had we lost that game, it would have been terrible because Rhody's Rhode Island Rams are now 1-9. WOOF!  However, we won and now we play Norfolk State.  Click to read on. 

Rhode Island, your record, WOOF!!

Maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan, can we SERIOUSLY have a sports team that isn't completely frustrating to watch?  Honestly, it's one thing after another, no matter what sports we're talking about.  In case you didn't know, we lost to Kansas State on Sunday, but we were winning at the half only to get COMPLETELY dominated in the second half.  Coincidence?  We think not.  It happened against Clemson, so undoubtedly it had to happen to the hoops team.  Tonight, we play Rhode Island.  Woohoo!  Click to read more (and do it NOW, dammit!).

A familiar reaction from Seth...this will be very common this season

Well, that was an interesting weekend, wasn't it?

Listen, if you're looking for a positive, celebratory post about going to the Sugar Bowl, check back in tomorrow. This one is all about getting out the rage from the ACCCG. So if you have young children, are a decent person, or are in any way related to me, I would recommend you not read this post.

All the swearing, yelling, and ranting you love, after the jump...

Yeah, nobody is surprised, but we all thought Chick Fil A.  Now we're going to play in the SUGAR BOWL!!  SAY WHAAAAAAAAAAAT???  Do we deserve it?  Hell no.  Are we f*cking excited?  Damn right we are.  FINALLY it pays off to be Hokie fans who travel well and spend money.  See ya in New Orleans, Michigan.

 

Whoa whoa whoa.  When did the Chick-fil-A Bowl get renamed the Sugar Bowl?

This season continues to blow my friggin' mind.  

First off let me make this clear: SUGAR BOWL BITCHES!! WOOOOOOO!! 

However, I will be the first one to say we probably should not have been selected for the Sugar Bowl.  Had we made it a close game against Clemson, sure, I could see it.  That didn't happen.  I mean I understand we're number 11 in the BCS standings, but come on.  

Second point:  Kirk Herbstreit's comments on the bowl selection show, while true, kinda made us look like the dicks in this whole thing.  Virginia Tech didn't petition for the at-large bid, nor did we even expect it to happen.  VT didn't schedule cupcakes earlier in the season with the at-large bid in mind.  So his comments were directed at the wrong people.  The BCS sucks and it's completely about money.  VT fans travel well.  Fact.  The Sugar Bowl is in New Orleans, thereby attracting more VT fans (I mean hey, New Orleans).  More fans equals more money.  Not our fault we like to support our team all over the country.  Well I guess it is our fault, but you know what I mean.  The BCS system is screwed up by money, but that doesn't mean VT had anything to do with it.  Back off.  

Third, Baylor should have gotten to the Sugar Bowl.  They were crazy this season and RG3 is playing out of his mind.  I would have liked to see Baylor beat the piss out of Michigan, but I guess now we'll have to do it.  I mean Baylor is going to the Alamo Bowl.  Blech.  Sorry guys.  Not our fault.  Hopefully your QB can win the Heisman and make up for it.  

Oh and screw Boise State.  I still hate them.  They deserve nothing.   

Easily one of the worst games I have ever seen by Virginia Tech.  The refs were awful in the first half, but we were even more awful in the second half.  This was arguably a bigger beatdown than the last time we played Clemson.  

We were outplayed on every side of the ball.  It was just awful.

I can say we had a great season and that we still have the bowl game, but this atrocious display of what I can't even describe as football left a very bitter taste in my mouth.  

I can't really fault Thomas, Oglesby or Wilson, definitely not Coale or Coles, or even a large part of our defense.  Freshman mistakes and a terrible O-line, plus an apparent lack of preparation for any offensive strategy that Clemson employed is to blame.  Also, not blaming the loss on this, but the refs in the first half were inexcusable.  Blatant missed calls and phantom penalties definitely played a part in the first half.  Again, we lost the game in the second.  

We had a chance to go to the Orange Bowl and we blew it.  We're still going to the Chik-fil-A Bowl.  That's cool.  It's just beyond disappointing to finish the season like that.  Excuse me while I go watch the end of this barn burner of a Big 10 Championship.

/vomit. everywhere.  

Here's looking forward to December 31st.  

As always, Go Hokies!! 

Stop me if you’ve heard this one.

A guy walks into a bar to watch the Tech-UVA game and has his dog with him. He asks the bartender if the dog can be in there with him. “Why in the world should I allow that?” asks the bartender.

“Well, when the Hokies score he’ll stand on his back legs and walk down the bar and back on just two feet. And when UVA scores, he’ll walk on his front paws all the way across the bar, and back.”

“That’s pretty impressive,” notes the bartender.

“Oh, that’s nothing, when Tech wins, he’ll do back flips down the length of the bar and back,” the owner proudly proclaims.

“What will he do when UVA wins?” asks the bartender.

“Dunno, he’s only 7 8 years old.”

Awesome, awesome game last Saturday.  But now we have Clemson.  Again.  This one is for serious too.  But more for serious.  Because this one is for the Orange Bowl.  Hit the jump.

ABC, you are damn lucky Modern Family is awesome. We are getting pretty f*cking tired of seeing ads for this crap show.
