The North End Zone - A Virginia Tech Football Blog
Yup, back to the quick and dirty previews.
Tonight we play Boston College. Let's see... Hokies are coming off a big win. Boston College is on the bubble and desperate. And it's a game we should win.
Shit...better buckle up, folks.
The game is on ESPN U, so get over to your rich friend's place to watch it. Sure he works way harder than you do. But that doesn't mean you can't mooch.
We can't just win this game. We have to crush the Eagles hopes and dreams like we're in an ACC Championship game.
And for that kind of decimation, you need a destroyer.
Morbo the Destroyer
Yeah, D_w and I are big Futurama fans. We get that you're not, and that's ok. Let's just agree to...
ALL HAIL HYPNO-TOAD
Also...
LET'S GO HOKIES!!!
no commentsTough night for Dell Curry, do you cheer for your team, or cheer for your son? Clearly he made the right decision cheering for his team (even if he was wearing a Duke shirt) and as Seth got another foul the Hokies started a lovely "Who's your daddy" chant, thank you Cassell Guard, thank you.
Well folks, let us be the first (well we will at least pretend to be the first) to tell you that we have done it again, and Duke can suck it.
(One more time for good measure)
More after the jump..
no commentsEvery chance we get.
An ACTUAL game preview during basketball season? Congratulations, North End Zone reader(s), your wish is granted. After the jump, we pretend to know what we’re talking about. Why should this be any different from football season?

The best part about last night's win was that we didn't f*cking lose to another shit ACC team.
It's getting late into basketball season, and the Hokies find themselves squarely on the bubble again. No official word on ESPN changing "bubble" to "Seth Greenburg", but we're sure it's coming.
This week's random prediction: The upcoming match-up with the Dookies. And you know what that means...
You knew it was coming.
-----------------------------------------
Last week, we asked the all-knowing predictors to guess whether or not your humble editor landed the one internship that would make the $100k he's dropping on grad school worth it.
Well, the call came in, and apparently they are not aware of this site, because they gave me an offer. To my dismay, the gentleman on the phone did mutter something about "ginger quota", so I guess that means you win, D_w. Your prize?
A Bacon Briefcase!
Now, when you land that big time job, you can show up in style!
-----------------------------------------
On to this week's predictions...
Barry: Prediction: Duke wins. Yes I am picking against the Hokies, but come on, you honestly think we will win this game??
The Northerner: I am shocked, SHOCKED, by all you asshats picking Duke. Gross. 72-71 VT. It's on.
CMU Football Analyst: Duke 65 - 61, cannot wait for March Madness. Is the NEZ doing a bracket? [Ed. Note: Of course! You know how many RMFW shirts we have to get rid of?]
D_w: Hokies win.. 82 - 78.. Delaney seals the victory at the foul line, Erin Andrews makes a surprise appearance at the game and Green scores a date with her by saying "i've got some clothes back at my place that need some ironing".
B Bull: Under Coach Greenberg we are 2-3 versus teams ranked #1, with wins over Wake (2009) and UNC (2007). All three losses have been close: lost by 3 to UNC (2009), lost by 2 to UNC (2008), and lost by 2 to Duke (2005). Coach Greenberg seems to always have the team ready to go when we take on the #1 team in the country, I'll take the Hokies and the upset.
Maniak: it will be a close game....but we will probably not win this one. i really hope we do tho.
Hokie Guru: Most important game of the season and yours truly will be in attendance...blah blah blah.... and the Hokies will win 78 - 71... the clinching top 50 RPI victory needed for the NCAA tournament. WOO.McB: Prediction. Virginia Tech pulls off an epic upset. With GameDay in town, it is going to be beyond electric. I believe. And on a separate note, CGally it is an absolute requirement that you post the picture of Washington nut-dunking on the Duke player. [Ed. Note: Done and done, good sir.]
CGally: A few more posts of the Deron picture, and I think we'll have enough karma to make the upset happen. Hokes 75-74.
-----------------------------------------
Leave yours in the comments, and get ready for gameday. We'll be doing an ACTUAL preview for this game. Imagine! MMFD T-Shirt of the Week and everything!

We take one game off, and look what happens. We lose to UVA. Again.
Note: We've taken many, many games off.
But not this time! With all the Voldemort excitement, we're back in the blogging swing of things.
Tonight, we take on Wake Forest in a must-win game. The tip uis 7, and it's nationally televised on ESPN2.... ugh. Apparently, people just can't get enough mediocre ACC basketball.
Our hero this game? Well, last night, your humble editor introduced Varisty Blues to Lady Gally. Did she enjoy it? Who cares? I got to drink beer and watch the greatest football movie ever.
So tonight, we rely on one man...
I. Don't want. Yer life. Bubble teams.
LET'S GO HOKIES!!

Today, Voldemort (known as Bryan Stinespring to muggles) was demoted from Offensive Coordinator to some kind of position coach. I would have read the details, but the rejoicing in my heart blurred my vision.
Mike O'Cain will be replacing him. Will he be a good OC? Who knows. But he's different, and different is good.
More on this to come, you can be sure. But does anyone have FireMikeOCain.com yet?

Since the beginning of time, man has tried to predict the future. Today, The North End Zone becomes the first to actually do so.
Without football, we've had nothing to predict. Sure, we all love watching basketball, but we know even less about that than we do about football. And as our avid readers will tell you, we know jack about football.
So what do we do? We will now be predicting random crap.
This week's preditcion:
You humble editor recently interviewed for an important internship. I will find out early next week if I got the job.
Your prediction: Did I rock their faces off, or did they figure out that I write for this blog, thus spelling my doom.
For obvious reasons, the company will not be disclosed. Also, I have a back-up offer already, so feel free to be the lovely jackasses I've come to know at this place.
Let's see what the gang has to say:
Barry: I predict yes on the basis that the company has a hiring policy of douchebags only.
Hokie Ambassador to Morgantown: I predict yes. We have known for years that CGally is a huge tool, a job helping a major international corporation with more money than God make even more only proves it.
The Northerner: 35-14 VT. Tyrod throws for 400 yards while RMFW and DMFE both run for 200 yards. David Wilson returns three kicks for TDs.
CMU Football Analyst: Corey will get the internship because of his flawless character, his outstanding leadership, and overall pleasant demeanor.... BAHAHAHAHAHA! I couldn't keep a straight face when I typed that
D_w: I vote yes.. But only to fill their government mandated "Ginger Hiring" quota.
The Northerner II: I think CGally will not get offered the position he applied for. He does, however, get offered the position of Assistant to the Position-He-Applied-For, because the even the guy doing the hiring knows that CGally needs to be taken down a peg or two.
Token Girl: The company finds out that corey does have said website, and will not offer internship. They will then hunt down summer intern site like chuck norris, tell them about corey's foul mouth, and take that away too. BOOM. Corey will then be sad and go eat a 4 times the steak burrito at tbell.
Maniak: Corey has already has six 4x burritos to today. Before noon. And he was the inspiration for Phillip mignon. Also...with this text in circulation his only chance at an internship is being a pierogie at buccos games.
(239): I think we can all look back on last night and categorize it under, " reason why Corey can't be left at the bar by himself"
Hokie Guru: Dudes, CGally gets the job... end of story.
Wright: I vote yes - Gally, I assume this is the internship I got you through work? So if that's the case, he's in, mainly because we favor drinking. A lot.
GWay: Barry's a tool.
So there you have it. It seems the majority think I'm getting the job...kind if. Thanks, I think. Put your thoughts in the comments. Winner announced when I get the call.
Also, Maniak sent along this picture of his new ride.
To which The Northerner responded, "Be nice to Maniak. He's obviously having a mid-life crisis."
Also, Hokies play Maryland tonight. Our hero is... Fozzy.
You know what’s always awesome? Beating Miami. On hardwood or grass, we’ll kick your ass.
Wednesday’s win was sweet for two reasons:
- I was able to watch it.
- It was much need after Bumblebee screwed us against Georgia Tech.
Tonight, we play at NC State. This is sweet for two reasons:
- I am able to watch it.
- We freaking HATE the Wolfpack.
Clearly, the most important aspect of any game is whether or not it’s on in Pittsburgh.
Of course, the hatred mostly stems from the 2003 loss in football. But we also hate them for giving us Phillip Rivers.
And this coach?
Sweet Jesus dude, what are you thinking? Is the NC State basketball program sponsored by Huggie Bear?
Actually, we know what he does in the off-season…
So are we going to win? F*ck if we know. It’s an away game, so that knocks our chances down to 40% right off the bat.
We need to win these road games. It’s what has really kept us out of the past few tournaments. Winning this game and the next at Boston College would look real good in front of the committee.
Reader-Who’s-Going-to-the-Game of the Week
RMFW sweetheart, Alt-Man (actually a girl), will be attending the game tonight.
We assume she's going to do what any good Hokie should do: streak*.
*Does not apply to dudes.
Do we have anyone on the basketball team with the initials “R.W.”? Can we get someone, please? Anyone want a shirt?
Hokie Hero
Anyone else addicted to Pawn Stars?
We’re going with Chumlee.
Fact: He makes more money than you.
Update: Avid reader and CGally landlord sends us possibly the greatest website in the history of man.
LET’S GO HOKIES!!
no commentsOk, with our fearless leader (yeah, we all know that’s not true but it sounded good, right?) busy trying to better himself with education he has forgotten to look at the upcoming game tonight against GT.
Most of you don’t read this blog for intense basketball research or in-depth analysis, and if you do… you clearly have no knowledge how the internet works because you would have found somewhere else by now.
So let’s cut the crap. The yellow jackets are sitting on a 9-9 season with a 2-3 ACC record, we need to drop them by 15+ points, no questions asked. We have nothing but ACC games left and the braintrust that runs bracketology has us listed as a “Last Four Teams In” yet again. We need to lock up our tournament invitation earlier than the ACC tournament this year. We have shown that we have the talent, even with all our injuries, to play with the teams in the ACC, if Green and Delaney keep playing like they have GT shouldn't be a problem. Thats all the research you are getting, for more information please feel free to email CGally and call him a bum.
Tonight’s victory is being squarely placed on the shoulders of BumbleBee.
Hokie-Bots … Roll Out!
no commentsBut apparently, we're still playing basketball. That UNC loss was heartbreaking.
But you know the best way to heal a broken heart? Beating the shit out of some Terrapins.
Also, riding Terrapins.
So let's make it two in a row (we also beat Wake Forest at some point). ESPN2. 9 o'clock.
Who do we need to win? A few guys that know something about taking out some stupid turtles...
Let's get it done, you offensive stereotypes of Italian people.
LET'S GO HOKIES!!!
