RE: VT game discussion
Im skeptical of VT being ranked where they are. Not, that they shouldn't beat us bad, but they have not really looked good this year. WVU is a team that is expected to be down this year and their performance against Delaware was awful.

We have to do better stopping the run. If we can slow down the running game, it will be within a couple scores; but I'm not sure how confident I am in that.

I can get behind that prediction. I think both the O and D play better but we're clearly out personnel'd.

Sad but true.

Nothing really sad about that. VT is the No. 13 ranked team. If we manage to look like we belong on the field with them, all is good. No sadness in that.

I don't know GF. They are ranked at No. 13, and BW said he voted them in the 11 spot because he had watched all of their games and was really impressed. It's going to be a tough go.

It is certainly going to be tough for us, but I do not believe they are a a top 15 team after seeing the first 2 games.

Memory fails me...is this the first time we have played a Top 25 team?

RE: VT game discussion
They don't need to be a Top 15 team. In fact, I doubt any of us want to see our squad's results against a Top 15 right now. We're beat up. Hard to believe we're not growing as a program by playing them right after UNC though.

All that said, I'd be happy with a somewhat competitive matchup in this one. I expect our young 17 y/o QB to have a tough time with them without an explosive RB like Lawry helping out. I also expect Jackson and Edmunds to give our D a lot of trouble--particularly with Fuentes as the HC.

I'll be overjoyed with a win, but I'm not going to spend a lot of energy killing the coaches or kids on these boards after it plays out either. Will leave all that to the usual suspects on these message boards.

RE: VT game discussion
VT went into the locker room leading ECU by a mere 6 points but for some reason ECU's defense didn't come out for the 2nd half.

Although Delaware laid an egg at Tech, they were only down 17 at half.

Last season, FCS Liberty was down 11 at halftime.

I know the Hokies. I know their No. 13 ranking is suspect. Over the years I've seen decisive underdogs knock them down from their perch. As a matter of fact, VT was ranked 13th when the FCS Dukes sent the Tech fans home in disbelief.

The Frank Beamer era Hokies were always prone to upsets. Will the tradition continue with Justin Fuente?? Of course! After beating 17th ranked UNC last season and taking their place at No. 17, Tech goes into the Carrier Dome against 2-4 Syracuse and demonstrates why they're called the Chokies. Knocked them right out of the Top 25.

There's no reason why ODU can't be in this game after 2 quarters. If ODU can keep it close and not lose any momentum coming out of the locker room then maybe, just maybe .......

Dimes to donuts, Mike Vick seeks out Stevie Williams after the game to talk. He could be looking at a younger version of himself.

And once the game is over, we should take away their National Championship Bass Fishing Trophy.

I don't see it, but hope you're right. I'll make a victory pledge. If ODU beats VT on Saturday I'll make a $200 donation to ODAF. Anyone else with me?

More like 40 points in the first half! We can't tackle!!! Why do we even schedule lopsided games like this? The scoring will slow down once the 3rd team for VT hits the field, by then it will be 64-10!

So you would rather play Campbell at home? The only way to improve the program is to play better competition.
