Va. Tech just got a huge break on a replay overturn of a fumble by the QB which was recovered about 20 yards behind the line of scrimmage.

Looked like the old tuck rule. His arm had just started coming forward, but he wasn't going to throw it. Technically the replay official, in my mind, made a valid overturn based on a bad rule.

Moot point. BC got a pick they returned to almost the same spot on the field on the very next play!

This is the worst rule in football and it needs to be changed now. They didn't change it in the NFL because they didn't want to "invalidate the Patriots Super Bowl."

I think it's been long enough. When a ball is knocked cleanly out of the hand of the QB, it is NOT a fucking pass.

I don't need to drop VT out of my rankings - I already had BC ranked instead of them. I should have put some vCash on this game.

The box score fro the Hokies is brutal.

181 total yards with 4 turnovers. Defense forced no turnovers.

-8 return yards, 88 yards in penalties. Not exactly BeamerBall.

VT players are yelling at each other on the sidelines. One VT player is dancing on the field when losing. No discipline. :shake:

Makes me appreciate our team even more!

Hill was only doing the "HOKIE pokey". :biggrin:

You put your right foot in,
You put your right foot out;
You put your right foot in,
And you shake it all about.
You do the Hokie-Pokey,
And you turn yourself around.
That's what it's all about!

Correct. Normally, VT is good for triple digits in the penalties department.

Thugs. All of them.

You can only play deaf, dumb, and blind for so long before it catches up to you. Beamer needed to take a flamethrower to his roster about three years ago and put his foot down way back then. The problem for him is that you can't be Pete Carroll one week, then Tom Coughlin the next. Either you're a players coach or a disciplinarian. You can't be both, otherwise you'll lose control of your team once the players stop respecting you.

The problem with running a successful program that puts kids in the NFL is that eventually the recruits will use you and the school as a vehicle for NFL money, damn the program. God bless JT for not recruiting 25 5-star athletes every single year.

I think anyone who has watched Va Tech since about midway through 2004 could see this coming. It'll probably get worse before it gets better. Beamer is going to find himself in a no-win position much like Cooper did in 1999 and 2000. To Beamer's credit though, he's about as untouchable as Grandpa JoePa, so he can weather the storm.
