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…

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…

Enough with the kicking
We’re going to get a nasty reputation if we keep doing stupid things again and again. I know it’s getting extra attention from the administration because of Marcus, and because of that Weaver felt he had to act. I honestly believe that without the prior incidents, Weaver would have probably done nothing. And what’s up…

Goodbye, and good luck
I guess maybe deep down, we had all seen this coming – one of those scenarios you thought about but hoped would never happen. Marcus, I think you have a lot of growing up to do. You’ve got some character flaws that unfortunately manifested themselves on the field and in other places. I don’t think…

Pearl Harbor Day
It seems a little weird to call today Pearl Harbor Day. I mean, we don’t call 9/11 Twin Towers Day or Pentagon Day. It’s been so long since 1941 that most people can’t really relate to what Americans went through back then, but there are the inevitable comparisons to 9/11, so I imagine most people…

Sick Again
Monica and I are sick once again, and it’s due to us volunteering to watch the toddler class at church. Those kids are little germ factories, and they must have been in high production for us. We were still able to decorate the house for Christmas and enjoy the Hokies big win over UNC to…

Sunday Wind-down
Wow, what a stunning turn of events yesterday. First Tech destroyed UVA, and then Georgia Tech upsets Miami to give us the inside track on a BCS bowl. Like the Circuit City commercials, it was just what we needed. How did we lose to this team? Despite this being my favorite time of the year,…

The Burg
Went spent the past weekend in good ol’ Blacksburg. I even had a chance to take a couple of shots for the moblog. Had a great dinner at Mike’s Grill on Friday and lunch at Sharkey’s and dinner at Bogen’s on Saturday which is a record restaurant turn-out for us. I always try to hit…

Can’t Believe the Suckage
Boy, my NCAA tournament bracket is really taking a beating. Tons of big upsets this year, but my final four are still alive (although Wake Forest is about to lose in double overtime). If I ever win a pool, I think it will be a sign of the end times. And the Hokies got smoked…

NIT-rific
I’m sitting here listening to the VT-Temple NIT game on the computer since it’s only on ESPNU; we don’t get that channel (yet). It’s the second half and the Hokies are up by seven in Blacksburg. Man, it sure brings back memories of the last second Tech win over New Mexico State in 1995. Storming…
