The Hokies go to The U this afternoon in a big road contest. Let’s see how The U does at home since they have been one of the worst road teams in recent memory. Now for the Hero today, only one man can be just as dirty as the Miami athletic program and look so good doing it.
Mike Rowe
The only man to inpergnant a cow and sell you a Ford at the same time.
Also just as surprising, Tech beat UVA again last night.
Down by 12 with about 5 minutes left, Tech rallied to take the lead. It took a desperation three pointer by Virginia guard Sammy Zeglinski to send it to OT. (Zeglinkski? Really? Shocker: he's an awkward white guy.)
In OT, Tech took control, once again letting the Cavs know they're forever our bitch. The final score was 76-71.
Delaney had 27 points, clearly making up for a lackluster performance against Boston College. Jeff Allen was ejected for being too much of a badass. His response?
Three of the last five games against UVA have gone to overtime. Tech has won all three. Apparently, we just like to screw with their emotions before crushing their souls.
I think there's a chess match coming up, so maybe UVA can finally beat us in something.
A must win game, last second victories, a seat behind a legend, and alcohol induced memory loss. It’s all standard fare in the North End Zone’s winter trip to Blacksburg…
The Miz over at FFODC made a wager with your humble editor regarding the outcome of the Pens/Caps game last Thursday. As per the rules of the bet, I will now allow him to guest post over here about his favorite player. The views expressed in the rest of this entry do not represent those of The North End Zone. In fact, they are pretty much exactly the opposite.
As an avid reader of The North End Zone, I know that the end of college football season can be a little tough for some of us. Fortunately for me, I have hockey to break my fall once bowl season comes to an end. So does C Gally. While he and I have the same taste in college football greatness, hockey is a bit of a sensitive subject between the two of us. You see, C Gally tends to support Pittsburgh franchises, and that includes one of my least favorite teams of all time, the Pittsburgh Penguins. How anybody can support a bunch of whiners with horse teeth is beyond me, but I digress.
Another HUGE game this weekend, folks. Boston College comes to town, soaring on the wings of gay eagles.
Winnable ACC games don't just grow on trees, you know. One might go so far as to say this is a must-win, being at home an all. Dropping a game like this only makes the road to the big dance that much tougher.
Your humble editor is heading to Blacksburg for the game. We thought about getting tickets for $50, but decided that the money would be better spent on rails while we watch on TV. There's nothing like some early afternoon drinking.
But if any of our tens of readers has an extra ticket or two,

. I promise to be a wealth of information and pointed commentary during the game. Or at the very least, a provider of powerhour prior to tip-off.
/end of desperate plea for cheap tickets
-----------------
Since the odds of your humble editor seeing this game in person is higher than zero, we won't screw around. We need to win, and win by a lot. The NEZ demands to be entertained. So let's take care of these birds with another bird we're familiar with...
Today is a banner day here at the NEZ: our first cross-blog wager.
The Miz over at Fight for Old DC is a Washington Capitals fan. Your humble editor is a fan of the STANLEY CUP CHAMPION Pittsburgh Penguins.
The first of four regular season match-ups between the two goes down tonight. The winner will be given a grand opportunity: the chance to guest-post on the other's site, praising any player they like.
So get ready, Miz. FFODC is about to be invaded by Sid's Army.
After much discussion, suggestion, and frustration, we've decided on our method for picking the field of 64 movie quotes for our annual tourney.
We will be holding conference championships from now until March. We will select 64 movies, and you the public will vote on which quote will make it to the big dance.
We have 62 movies selected at the moment. Needing two more, we're relying on our tens of readers to help us out.
But if someone suggests Garden State, you're banned from the site forever.
Furrer4heisman has posted the Postseason Hokie Roundtable results. Be sure to check it out, and vote for The Northerner's kickass haiku. It'll be a good pick-me-up for someone that's been crying into his Wes Welker jersey for the past two weeks.
Welp, Michael Corleone completely Luca Brasi'd us against Florida State. We wish Fredo would have just finished the job.
Now we have an awkward out of conference game in late January. Who the hell is North Carolina Central? No one knows. Their mascot is most likely some form of cat, possibly wild.
So there's not much to go on here, so consider tonight's hero the Alaska Nanook mascot. Witness his awesomeness below...
9/6 Boise St. (8PM) 9/11 JMU (TBD)(White Out) 9/18 ECU (TBD)(Orange Effect) 9/25 at Boston College (TBA) 10/2 at NC State (TBA) 10/9 CENTRAL MICHIGAN (TBA) 10/16 WAKE FOREST (TBA)(Homecoming) 10/23 DUKE (TBA) 11/4 GEORGIA TECH (7:30PM)(Maroon Effect) 11/13 at UNC (TBA) 11/20 at Miami (TBA) 11/27 VIRGINIA (TBA) 12/4 ACC Championship (TBA)
