ACC Champs and more?
Virginia Tech won another ACC Championship on Saturday, it was awesome! It was really sweet getting revenge on Boston College, sticking it to the Heisman wannabe, Matt Ryan. We really made them look silly, and it was glorious. I thought that was going to be the extent of my rooting for the Hokies this weekend…

Orange and maroon is better than orange and purple
I certainly didn’t mean to overshadow the events of last weekend with what happened to us on Sunday. The Hokies whooped Clemson in true Beamerball fashion, and I have to say that I did not expect that at all. I foresaw our offense bogging down once again, and Clemson running all over us. Half of…

Random Thoughts
Those crisp fall nights are finally starting, and it’s only a matter of time before I can start having a crackling fire going. I used to really care about baseball, but I haven’t followed it much over the last few years. Still, this is utterly amazing. I don’t think the Hokies are very good. I…

Fantasy lineups
Haven’t posted much lately, but I figured I’d share my fantasy football lineups for this season. Dwight Army of Champions QB Vince Young QB Alex Smith RB Rudi Johnson RB Edgerrin James RB Marshawn Lynch RB Fred Taylor RB Anthony Thomas WR Tory Holt WR Marques Colston WR Bernard Berrian WR Mike Furrey WR Matt…

Now that’s more like it
The Hokies have rebounded nicely in their last two games with an easy win over Southern Miss and a complete domination of the team formerly known as #10, Clemson. Wow, what a difference playing well on both sides of the ball makes. The big difference though has been Brandon Ore. When everyone was asking him…

Meltdown
I watched one half of a football game tonight. Then after that, I don’t remember a game being played. Right now, I’m embarrassed to be a Hokie. I’m tired of the excuses, the poor play, the personal fouls, the stupid penalities, and I’m tired of games like this. I’m tired of talented players underachieving. I’m…

Ugh
I think the thing that hurts the most is the way we lost today. I was worried after our performance last week, and it turns out for good reason. This was a winnable game for us, and our defense blew it in the first ten minutes. After the first quarter, we pretty much held the…

A football political statement
I’m sitting here watching the Saints-Falcons game, and the emotions are riding high in New Orleans. I really thought the Falcons were much better than the Saints, but I guess the emotional high of this night has lit a fire under the Saints and their defense is putting a whoopin’ on Vick & Co right…

What’s a bearcat?
Pretty lackluster first half for the Hokies today, the blocked punt for a safety aside. The defense really let us down, and the offensive line wasn’t playing very well. Beamer & Co really made just adjustments at halftime though as we played much better in the second half. The defense played better, and Ore just…

Oh and five
Tha’s my record so far in fantasy football. I haven’t won a game in either league that I’m in, and it’s just awesome. One of my teams is just plain awful, so there’s no surprise that I haven’t won a game yet. The other team, however, is a bunch of under achievers. It just doesn’t…
