GAMEDAY!!! Pumped to be in Lane tonight, let the partying begin. Good luck Bucks, and GO HOKIES!!!

Gonna have to quiet that crowd quick. As much as people don't admit it, that's a noisy stadium. Noisy stadiums hurt us against PSU, and the end zone noise at the sugar bowl hurt us a lot in the 4th quarter.

Put 21 on the board in the first quarter and they will quiet down.

Good defense hurt them. A timid, re-injured JT hurt them. A tough environment also hurt them.


It wasn't the endzone that hurt them but brutal field position.

It's a noisy stadium for an ACC school, but it's not going to be louder than Sparty/Ped State or the Sugar Bowl were....

 

[TampaBuckeyes]

Oh hell no. You guys won fair and square. Almost glad you did with hindsight being 20/20 and all. Love it even more that you guys are first on the schedule this season.

I love it because I think it gave our guys more fight, more of an edge. Needed to be punched in the face a few times.

What's everyone drinking tonight? Wild Turkey Rare Breed for this Buckeye.

The Hokie Defense is the hammer which is going to pound you Bucks.

And the Hokie O is...?

I think this has gotten a little to cocky around here. Our visitors are just trying to enjoy some pre-game banter.

Oh, now I get it. Stupid question by me.

 

[TampaBuckeyes]

Unofficial report from a buddy in Blacksburg, including pictures and videos...

There are a [Mark May] ton of Buckeye fans there. Buckeye Nation does not mess around, love traveling into enemy territory. Let's do this.

Really hope they all have tickets. Want to at least turn 1/3 stadium scarlet.

Oh, now I get it. Stupid question by me.

Which I still find his answer funny, because it's only one segment of the team.
Sure, the VT D may be good.
That doesn't speak to the rest of the squad at all. Very few VT fans feel giddy about their O like they do their D.

The Hokie Defense is the hammer which is going to pound you Bucks.

Where was this hammer after they stopped playing a brand new QB, RB & OL?

I happen to respect your defense a lot, but they gave up 427 yds 3 tds 0 int to Shane Carden in a loss the next week. That doesn't bode well if Cardale is the signal caller (or if the wide eyed freshman version of JT is not still around a full year later).

Got a 6 of Miller Time, a 6 of Silver Bullets, and plenty of Jack Daniels.

So no Reds or Bengals games for an entire month? Could be worse. :)
