The North End Zone - A Virginia Tech Football Blog

We're getting right into it:
- Well it looked like the hurricane winds aren't the only thing that blow in Miami. ZING.
But seriously, the Canes are some of the biggest frauds in the history of history. And it's not their fault. Ok, it is their fault, but it's also the media's fault for hyping them up so damn much (Cough...Heather Dinich...cough).
- Jacory Harris (yes I know he didn't play) is not ever going to be a Heisman candidate, Miami has yet to even MAKE the ACC Championship, and we beat them at home. By a good amount. They are overrated and terrible.
- We start of the damn game by giving up a TD, AGAIN. I fucking hate it, but somehow it works. So this will be my last complaint about it, until of course, our bowl game, where we play a decent team and will be unable to come back from a free opening drive 7 points.
- RMFW is a machine.
- But not more of a machine than Jayron "Machine" Hosely. He's sick. Not David Wilson/Mononucleosis sick, but you know, the good kind.
- Heather Dinich must have been wronged in some way from a VT alumni/student in her life.
- You know what's better than listening to Bill Roth call a VT game? Listening to the Miami broadcasters call this last one. They start the second half basically slobbering all over every play that Miami runs and making excuses for any of ours that succeed. We get a TD, they explain it away. Miami answers back with one and MIAMI IS THE GREATEST BUNCH OF PLAYERS EVER. THEY NEVER SAY QUIT. Until of course, they DON'T answer one of our TDs, we score another, and the announcers start talking about their Thanksgiving plans. It's like being wrapped in a big fluffy blanket on a big soft couch. Their despair comforts me.
- I also noticed that Miami radio announcers are the long lost brothers of New York radio announcers. Bob Wischusen, anyone? Anyone?
- Did I mention how much Miami blows and I hate them?
- We beat Miami! At their house! And in doing so, clinched the ACC Championship Coastal spot! For the fourth time! While Miami has yet to even make an appearance!
- HAHAHAHAFUCKYOUMIAMIHAHAHAHA
- We have Thanksgiving on Thursday and UVA on Saturday. I love this week.

Well now. This season is shaping up to be not completely terrible. Two games left against our two biggest rivals. It's Hokie time boys and girls.

Will never stop using that picture. Ever.
Yeah, we’re late. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: Grad school is stupid.
This week, Tech travels down to Florida, death's waiting room.
An abbreviated, phoned-in, but hopefully funny Miami preview after the jump…

We're totally sorry that we missed the Campbell game. Campbell. Basketball. We played them. Oh, you didn't care either? Whatevs.
But NOW, the season starts.
Tomorrow, we play at #3 Kansas State. Its 4pm, so figure out a place to watch online. Its on ESPN, but we know everyone has jobs.
We're not even going to try and pretend we know anything about the Cats. Hell, we barely know anything about our team.
But we have to start somewhere. And tomorrow is that somewhere.
The road to the bubble starts in Manhattan. The shitty Manhattan. In the middle of Kansas.
Hokie Hero
Everyone is pretty awesome on the basketball staff (we think?), so we can't really replace anyone.
So we just do a straight-up hero for basketball.
That hero?

Lou Diamond Phillips
Why? Because f*ck Kansas. That's why.
LET'S GO HOKIES!!!
no commentsWell, we tried to give them the game in the first quarter and they started to unwrap the gift but since they wouldn’t take the it we wrapped the bitch back up and put it away in the attic to be forgotten like so many Griswold gifts from years past.

Once again I thought we were going to have to make an unconventional decision for the Zombie Kill and pick Mr. Hazley for his ridiculous kicking game, but in true Zombie Kill fashion a victor presented himself out of nowhere…

no commentsOr should we say IMMEDIATE thoughts from the UNC game... WHAAAAT? Damn right, we're doing this one early.
Here we go:
- WHERE THE HELL IS OUR TWO-BACK MISDIRECTION OFFENSE!?!?!
- 6 turnovers, 4 of them INTs and only two sacks? Is this real life? Awesome, but kinda weird.
- Tyrod only had -3 total yards. Mostly that's because he had a couple big sacks, but why hasn't he run lately? It's one of his best attributes. Still we won, so I can't really complain.
- Our cornerbacks and secondary have become fucking awesome. I like it. A lot.
- Finally we have someone on our team named Marcus who isn't a shithead.
- Why are we still giving the other team the ball to start the game? They always score and we inevitably start the game playing catch-up. Though it has been working, so I guess this is really a moot point.
- Our sideline got a penalty? Sooooo, does Bud Foster have to run laps now?
- That referee crew may be the best in the game. They were fair, correct, and made themselves mostly invisible. I would like to have them more often. I can't believe I actually said that. But it's true.
- I wouldn't say that UNC gave us this game, but it was really a 50/50 effort. We took some from them and they gave us some. Thanks guys.
- IPAs are one of the best football game beers out there. Especially Harpoon IPA. Try it sometime. You'll thank me.
- We won against UNC at UNC. We have Miami at Miami next week. They crushed GT. We have A LOT to do before next Saturday. Good game today, boys. Proud of you all. Especially Hosley, Rock, and Morgan. Damn good job.

Can anyone else believe how fast this season in going by? This happens every year, and I always get surprised.
We got the Heels this week. Predictions after the jump.

No Idea where this came from. But it's awesome.
First it was Georgia Tech. Next up: UNC.
Virginia Tech's Redemption Tour 2010 continues this week in Chapel Hill.
Get on to the jump, like the grandfather of current UNC students getting onto Titanic lifeboats....

Wow, late much? Seriously, we're sorry. Its just there's work, and you know what, nevermind.
But we beat GT. Thank cheesus. Not going to lie, I was about 99% sure I was going to have a heart attack all through that damn game, and could barely watch the last minute. But we won, WOOOOOOO!!
Some thoughts:
- We have three of the best backs in the game. Why are we setting up with only one in at a time? Seriously. Misdirection. Try it some time. Might save some fans from having heart attacks.
- David Wilson eats at Chick-fil-A on Sundays. Damn right he does. If we haven't actually burned a red shirt with the number 4 on it yet, I'm calling for someone to set that bitch on fire and send in pictures.
- Tyrod was amazing, yet again. So were our two other backs. This makes me happy.
- Dyrell Roberts is out for the season. Crazy freak thing he had happen. Get better ASAP. We'll be thinking of you.
- Al Groh moves to a different school, one with a history of winning against us, and still loses. Hahafuckyouhaha.
- Sorry for taking out Nesbitt, you still would have lost with him, but Washington looks like he could be a force to be reckoned with next year. Get on that one as soon as the season ends, Foster. We need to catch it before it gets infected.
- We won. Whew. Now we go to UNC and play them bitches. Get it done boys.
