Welcome (Back) To Charlotte

Disclaimer: This is Playmaker’s masterpiece.  I’m just posting it.  What we witnessed on Saturday was one for the ages folks… a perfect storm seemed to be brewing in Charlotteville.  A confident, young, scrappy team led by an upstart coach.  A team that was tired of being treated like the runt of the family… a chance to [...]

Battle For The Commonwealth Cup

The winner of the annual VT vs. UVA game receives a shiny silver trophy known as the Commonwealth Cup.  For the last 7 years, the Hokies have brought it home and in some instances, downtown like Cody Grimm demonstrates here: If UVA won the Commonwealth Cup and drank from it like Cody, this would probably [...]

What We’re Thankful For

Happy Turkey Day Hokies! Another Thursday night victory,another 10 win season, and another impressive performance from Logan Thomasleads us to Saturday’s showdown in Charlottesville.  There is a lot on the line for the Hokies this week… a spot in the ACCCG, recruiting superiority, and bragging rightsover those pompous J Crew model wannabes. But it’s time [...]

I’d Rather….. UVA edition

Playmaker and I were talking about buying plane tickets to Charlotte for the ACC championship and it unintentionally turned into what we would rather do with $180 than buy a plane ticket to Charlotte and UVA winning this weekend.   – I would rather lose $180 playing penny slots – I would rather pay $180 to my [...]

“Relevant” Topics That We Felt Like Discussing

Since T Wallace started this good column idea, it is only natural that he is too busy to finish it.  Here are some topics and our thoughts.  Enjoy.  1. Biggest surprise of the year: Playmaker:  On the field, the offensive line… but it really shouldn’t come to any surprise as they returned 4 OL and [...]

“Live” Analysis From The VT vs. GT Aftermath

First and foremost, a big thank you to all the veterans and active military members.  Your service and sacrifice is unparalleled and without your sacrifices we wouldn’t be able to sit here and reflect about something as mundane as sports. So here is our little back-and-forth discussing anything and everything but mostly about last night’s [...]

The Ramblin’ Wreck Needs To Be Impounded

Just a disclaimer: my distaste for Paul Johnson and Georgia Tech has resulted in an extremely unfunny article.  Seriously, this might as well have been written by someone in desperate need for anti-depressant medication. Here we go again.  This will be the 3rd year in a row that the winner of this game will – in all likelihood [...]

Bye Week – Take Care, Madhatter, and the Bees

It’s a good thing style points aren’t noted in the final record, because what we had to witness in Durham was a travesty.  And yes, I’m talking about both teams… Duke couldn’t kick, Logan Thomas was off, and neither team could punch the ball in.  We were forced to watch what resembled a high school [...]

Week 9 Power Rankings: Gehl is Single

With back-to-back bye weeks — yeah Duke, that’s right, I went there — we don’t have much in the way of a preview this week.  Instead we’ll look at how everyone in the ACC stacks up currently, and remember, making fun of Georgia Tech is a right, not a priviledge. 1) Clemson – Tajh Boyd has silly numbers [...]

ACC Status Report and Homecoming

Football season officially goes by way too quickly. We’re already more than half way through the season sitting at a more than reasonable 6-1 with most likely 6 to go (I already have plane tickets to Charlotte). We’ve got two cupcakes in the next two weeks, BC and Duke, before our last test against Georgia Tech, [...]
