Road Trip – Tobacco Road Style

Disclaimer: I am sick and hopped up on the Q, so excuse me if there are any incoherent ramblings in the post below. The BleedBourbon staff spent the yearly budget on me to fly into Winston-Salem to take notes on the best ESPN3 has to offer.  That and the fact my whole family was meeting [...]

Heart Attacks, Recaps and Previews

Before we get started, I have an announcement: Taco Wallace would like to profess his love to Lexi, a Miami Hurricane’s cheerleader.  Lexi, if you find this blog and are interested, view his profile on jdate.com/sexpanther. I’m not quite sure if Hokie Nation — let alone the Bleed Bourbon staff — has recovered yet from the thrilling victory [...]

Week 6 – Hurricane Season is Over

The Bleed Bourbon writers are trying something new this week… we all made picks and plan on tearing each other apart when they don’t pan out.  Each pick is against the spread because picking winners straight up is pointless… who cares if you predicted LSU to beat the hell out of Kentucky.  The conversation below [...]

Week 5 – Back to the Basement

We all know what happened Saturday night, and we’re not talking about the moose Playmaker’s roommate brought home. Clemson took us to pound town. The Tigers have had the hardest schedule in college football so far (Played #21 Auburn, #11 FSU, #11 VT) and will continue a tough schedule (finish the season against South Carolina). [...]

Week 5 ACC Power Rankings – Welcome to Lane

The power rankings are back and they are more subjective than ever… let’s face it, do we need power rankings every week?  Yes, I’m talking to you Heather Dinich.  Do we really need to know where Duke and BC stack up with the rest of the ACC?  Why you have Georgia Tech ranked higher than [...]

Clemson Game Preview: I Hope We’re Ready For Big Boy Football

“Quick” thoughts from the Marshall game: We looked like Syracuse in those uniforms.  Orange helmets are never a good idea, I don’t care how close it is to Halloween. Marshall’s Head Coach is Doc Holliday.  Unfortunately, not Doc “I’m your Huckleberry” Holiday. My eyes started hurting with 14:05 left in the 1st quarter.  Non-HD is painful.  Frank Beamer is rocking [...]

Preseason Week 3 Recap – Adequately Mediocre

Another week into September and another win for the Hokies. At this point of the season last year, or the year before that, or the year before that….   or the year before that, we would be doing a deep and totally uneducated analysis  on how we’re going to overcome our personnel weaknesses and Stinespring’s play calling [...]

Preseason Week 3 – The Last of the Indian Nicknames

So who enjoyed watching that game?  I almost wish Iowa and Iowa State would have gone into a 7 OT thriller… because it would have been better than the near atrocity that almost took place in Greeneville.  The hardest part is it’s tough to look at a position and point where they played bad.  The [...]

Game Day Diary – Jack Sparrow Edition

Lets try something new today, going to try a Bill Simmons-esque diary for today’s game, we’ll see how this ends up or how long it lasts. 8:47 – Blasting Enter Sandman on the way to McDonald’s. 8:52 – Now it’s Miley Cyrus. 8:57 – Can’t find a cup in the kitchen, did find yuengling though, [...]

Week 2: Why Are We Traveling to Greenville?

 Take that Happy Appy’s… I hated playing you as much as you hate that name. I’m going to waste as much time on that game as it took for the Hokies to scor… and there it is. So how did the rest of the ACC fare? Just about what we expected on the field… however [...]
