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 [...]

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, [...]

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 [...]

UNC: The Revenge Game

Great win by the Hokies last Thursday.  This celebratory picture was taken the day after.  Just kidding, it was taken last year (check out the vertical on Cody Grimm and the refusal to jump by Davon Morgan) during media day.  I had about 3 heart attacks – one of which turned out to be a small piece [...]

Tech vs. Tech: Round 9

I had about 90% of this article written when I gave it to Rex Grossman to proofread but he was blindsided and fumbled it into the garbage.  Other Rex Grossman hilarity: F-ck it, I’m Rex Grossman and Rex likes Coldplay.  I am a Bears fan so I know your pain all too well Redskins. At [...]

We’re Back and Above .500

Here’s how I feel about our season so far. While T Wallace, Playmaker and I (amongst others) have been traveling in Europe, the Hokies have ripped off a nice 3-game winning streak.  Since we left for our vacation the team has been undefeated and the Kansas City Chiefs are the lone unbeaten team in the [...]

The Boise State Game aka Shutting Down the Hype Machine

It’s finally game week!  Ever since it was announced that VT would be playing Boise State, the media and respective fans have been eagerly anticipating this match up.  Almost every sports media outlet has argued who is the more underrated, and in some cases, the more overrated team - remind me to Fed Ex a bag of flaming dog [...]

Season At-A-Glance

Sept. 6 — Boise State Broncos @ Fed Ex Field —  BREAKING NEWS: Our first game is against the best non-BCS automatic qualifying school in the past 10 years.  They return 21 out of 22 starters.  We have to replace 7 starters on defense.  Etc. etc. etc.  You know all of this already.   What you may not know is [...]
