So we are playing the stupid Eagles this weekend, and it's Homecoming.  Despite the fact that anyone who is even remotely a fan of VT decided that the Miami game was a better homecoming than this weekend, but we will let those who put a lot of pride in winning a crown that means less than nothing do what they have to do and put on a mildly interesting show at halftime where everyone cranes their necks to look at the JumboTron to see if the girl contestants are hot this Saturday.

Anyways, back to the game.  There have been some fun facts revealed by Heather Dinich (Surprise! She is a little more than worthless!) involving the Hokies and the Eagles.

Anyone else find it amazingly coincidental that on the same day that Braylon Edwards gets traded to the J-E-T-S Jets jets jets, Michael "I'm-a hold out till I get what I should have gotten based on mock drafts" Crabtree ends his dumbass holdout and signs a $32 million contract with the 49ers?

Especially after all the talk of the Jets tampering with him and possibly offering him a large payday if he held out and allowed himself to get drafted by the Jets next year.  Smells kinda funny to me.  Smells like the Jets told him to get the hell out and forget the deal, because we got our bad-mouthed, attention-whoring, potential bust already.  His name is Braylon Edwards.

Is Arlen Specter up for switching from the Pats to this real case of potential tampering?

We are going to try a new experiment. Since Wednesdays kind of suck, what with no football and all, we are going to try a mailbag type thing. This is, of course, against our better judgement. (Also, we'll come up with some sort of sweet picture. Much like the creepy dude in the predictions.)
 
So feel free to send us questions, comments, complaints, philosophical musings, etc. You can send them here. Points for being funny.
 
Our first mailbag letter comes from long time reader Maniak:

Fellas,
 
My favorite story about Dookie football was when we went down there my junior year. We drove down, following Bobby the Ginger and some others.  We all get down there and start tailgating, which consisted of drinking the beer we had brought with us and throwing a football around. Ten minutes to game time, we decide to start walking to the game and the Dookies decide to get in their cars. 
 
Maniak: Hey man what are you doing??  The game is about to start!
Dookie:  Yeah man... We are going to head out, got a pool party to go to
Maniak: WHAT?!?
Dookie: ...
Maniak: But...its...FOOTBALL
Dookie:  You don’t know what it’s like to lose a game before it even starts, do you?
 
Burn.

 

There’s not much can add to that. But it kind of makes us want to start "Best Quotes Ever" page.

Ultimate example of the Cheerleader Effect.  Ugh.

Alright, so it took me a little while to post something this week, but I have a job to do that I get paid for, and it isn't posting on this drivel-filled torture-chamber for the English language.  So you'll get what you get and you won't get upset.  (Coincidentally, that's what my wife tells her kindergarten students)

Anyways, first things first.  We won another game. It was uglier than the beast that walk-of-shamed herself out of CGally's house last night, but just like what CGally tells himself, a win is a win.  Period.

Avid reader Mike writes, "I saw this poll on ESPN about who has the best tailgates. Virginia Tech is currently losing to something called a Lafeyette/Lehigh. This cannot stand."

Agreed. Vote here.

The North End Zone will unleash the wrath of our tens of readers and turn this thing around! Let's do it!!!

Ok, so maybe that was Goosebumps-scary.

We know that Voldemort actually called a decent game, but this poorly done photoshop was the best email we’ve gotten in years.

 

Going down 7-0 early was certainly not where we wanted to be. But Tech pulled it off, won the game, and moved up to #5 in the rankings. No one will remember that we kind of played like balls.

So can we just give this game a big “whatevs” and move on?

It’s BC week, people. Get pumped. These next 2 weeks are more important than your job.

Note: “Move on” not applicable if the Northerner wants to post something non-baseball today.

Despite the fact that we are playing a Division 1-AA team this week, we’ll still roll out with the predictions.

But first, our winner from last week is… no comments

You heard it right, Rio is getting the summer olympics 7 years from now.  First Olympics to be held in South America and only the third Olympics to be held in the Southern Hemisphere.

For those of you rooting for Chicago (looking at you Obama), you're out of luck, because they were, in reality, the first city voted out.  Oh well.  Now the only thing Chicagoans have to look forward to in 2016 is...

Well here we go. Your Caps are kicking off the season with a game against the 2010 Stanley Cup Champions.  It seems like only yesterday the loser flightless birds from shitsville were hoisting the Cup and then going at it with their Steeler brethren (in the Biblical sense).  But all that changes tonight.  New season.  New champion.  This year all titles will be possession of the fans of New England.  Book it.

Editors Note: Ovechkin is a fairy.  And an ugly summabitch.

It's almost silly how much we enjoyed this.

But a few things...

A. She's from Virginia and doesn't know what a Hokie is? Does she come from a cave? Though, to be fair, almost no one knows what a Hokie is.

B. We finished 15th last year? Luckily for this show (which should last for another month or so), we finish 15th every year. So the comment will never be dated.

C. All of us would have yelled "HOKIES!" in the exact same way.
