This Is No Longer Football. It Is War.

Hokies.

Yes, it's a stupid name for a stupid team with a stupid fanbase that has stupid faces. And stupid moms. (Burn.)

You need to tell them that. You need to tell them that over and over again. You need to scream it from the top of your lungs for a full 60 minutes. You need to scream it every time Tyrod Taylor looks like he is trying to do something constructive in the huddle or the sideline. That's right, we aren't just trying to screw up snap counts for this game. We are going to launch a multilateral sonic assault on these bastards.

You need to remind every Hokie that you see, especially ones that are wearing football helmets, that they are in Bobby Dodd Stadium at Historic Grant Field. It is the winningest grounds in college football. Nobody has played on the same patch of grass on their campus longer than we have. Tech is a haven for tradition, and Coach Paul Johnson is determined to uphold the ultimate Tech tradition - victory. It is Homecoming. It is our day. It is our victory to take.

I will continue to remind you how important this game is the rest of this week. However, as you go about your menial, unimportant business, remember that you have one duty this week. That duty is to be at Bobby Dodd Stadium before kickoff, welcoming our team back from a shootout for the ages, and cheering as hard as they will play.

To Hell With georgia. But most importantly, BEAT THE HOKIES!

I hate VPI

After Georgia, I don’t think there is a team I despise more then VPI. Let’s ignore football for a second. They are the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, so quite the whole VT bullshit. Also, you’re school sucks huge donkey balls. Don’t pander yourself as an engineeering school. Some VPI student tried to tell me about his ME courses last year. I had to restrain myself from kicking him in the nuts.
OK, back to football. I have a case of Wild Turkey(appropriate beverage for this weekend) for anyone that can tell me about anything about VPI football before Mike Vick. Wait, its impossible, because this is considered prehistory in football standards.
Also, is it a huge elephant in the room of Blacksburg that Bud Foster is the only one that kepts that team in games? Come back in about 100 years when you get some real history, and maybe a national championship.

all I know is...

Jim Drunkenmiller was before Michael Vick because he has a crazy name and they showed it on the Raycom feed

I'm about to write you a reality check. Or would you prefer the cold, hard cash of truth?

I was just thinking this

VPI sucks and they are most definitely in my hate bucket, along with ugag, ND, and Clemson.

Have you put on the Nesbitt-colored glasses yet?

After the last two games?

Well, that answer is a resounding, “HELL YES!” Dude is a beast and is making way better decisions, both on the option and with his feet. You know what was missing from the last two games? Almost everything mechanical I complained about. That retarded hop throw seems to have left the building and he is planting his feet throwing off his back foot. I was ecstatic after the Miss St game. And his option decisions look much improved. It doesn’t look like he is trying to force his option anymore and is really letting the players play.

I mean, there is always room for improvement such as the delivery of his pitch and the tradeoff on the dive, both of which are critical as it relates to the chance of causing a turnover, but overall those are small things that aren’t solely dictated by him. Against FSU, both Peeples and Jones seemed to be hesitating in their motion on the pitch, which may have caused some of those miscues on the pitch. It was like they were waiting for the pitch in the backfield and I remember yelling at them in my living room a few times to keep running.

So yeah, Nesbitt seems to have worked out the early season bugs and I’m all-in now. I would like to see more passing to Thomas, but that’s because I’m trying to win a Thomas-A.J. Green debate. Well, that, and watching Thomas catch 70 yard bombs all game is awesome.

Then why would you start a sentence, which is actually a fragment,

with ‘but’?

excuses excuses

What’s next? The next things I’ll hear are “the man held me back in grammar school” and “I got traumatized and I couldn’t smell for the first 10 years of my life.” When do the excuses end?
