The North End Zone - A Virginia Tech Football Blog

Written by The Northerner | 03 December 2011

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!!  no comments

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.

As mentioned in our UVA preview, we had an undercover agent (WeeLee) infiltrating the hollow (not a typo) grounds of Lamberth field. Though she risked her life with many of these photographs, we can all assure her that they will be put to good use.

She also lives in Baltimore, so risking her life is pretty much par for the course. 

Enter the world of another species, after the jump…

This is THE game, folks. This is why you’re a Hokie fan. This is why you’re a football fan.

Are you nervous? Well you f***ing shouldn’t be.

It’s UVA week. 10 out of 11. About to be 8 in a row. This week, the hoos come back to Earth.

Do we capitalize “hoos”? Whatevs. No one cares.

Hellllllllllllllllll yesssssssssssss.  It's that time of year again when we take on the Virginia Cavaliers.  Somehow, they've become semi-relevant in football again and are 8-3 this year.  Last week, FSU handed them a win.  This week, it's time for blood - UVA will get absolutely smoked by VT.  We absolutely despise UVA and this post is dedicated JUST to that.  So how do we start? 

 

Yeahhh...that's how. Read on followers!
