Jim Pyne with a new podcast

Check out Jim’s latest project. Some great folks starting out.

TFL

Hey Hokies! Unbeknownst to most there is a Twitter Football League and VT is undefeated this year, 18-0. We are in the National Semifinals. We just need some faithful to show up on X this Friday and like the official link after 5pm until 10pm. I will put the official link in on Friday evening. Below is an example. You can also follow me @Rockfish40 on X and catch it there. Tennessee won the last two national championships but we are poised for this one with a little help. Thanks so much!

Did you go to the Cincy game in 95 or the Hurricane bowl against A&M?

Those were miserable weather wise as well. Oh don't forget Syracuse in 2001 with the Grant Noel Heisman performance for the other team (Andy cold...I mean bitter.)

I am rooting for Ohio State to lose to Michigan somehow

so we can have a shot at Ryan Day. I quit everything when we lost to Vanderbilt. Whole season up in smoke due to idiocy. Then we lost to Rutgers bc one play shamed our coaching staff into oblivion. Still I made the Miami game in south FL bc I still had a thread of hope. We lose bc we gave the other team 25 seconds to come down and hit a field goal at the end of the first half. Yet we do not have the stones to try and go 40 yards in 30 seconds with 3 timeouts ourselves to steal a game away??? Schlee played great. I'm not upset if he starts the rest of the year. He got out of some plays that Drones wouldn't have but then Drones is better at throwing the ball away to avoid a sack. I'm with you. Don't want to lose but if the tailspin happens, let's just pray the NFL at least takes some of these guys on the team as they deserve a shot at next level despite team records. I mean what do you say to recruits "Ya'll have to play so well that I don't have to make decisions and then we can win football games..." Sounds like the right amount of nonsense that we have dealt with for years.

You can tell in his scenario

that there is a weight assigned to location of school versus location of colleges recruiting. Closest to Columbia, we are second closest and NC state is third closest but there is probably also a factor of 0 assigned if outside of 200 miles or 150 miles, something like that. Rutherfordton is near Asheville so just down 77 to Columbia and up 77 to VT. Raleigh is farther away than Andy and Barney's Mayberry from where he is at. ** Edited by Rockfish40 at 7/10/2024, 9:08:57 AM

update

Please add the underline to the end of the instagram. Someone messed up the original Instagram so she had to start a new one that has an underline. Thanks everyone!

Beamer's record against and VT's for that matter against Miami was 0 for

before 1995 in football. I believe we can give her a chance to beat better teams as we have more resources here than Marquette does. (different sport but same principle) ** Edited by Rockfish40 at 4/4/2024, 10:11:23 AM

Two computer screens helped

I had wrestling and men’s and women’s bball going. It was the most challenging thing I’ve done in a while. Lol

Offense

I wouldn’t expect Kenny to change the offense to put Rose in against UVA. There will be a different set using Rose at center today to play to her strengths. I imagine something similar to what MN would have run with her except stretching the spacing more. She will go block to block with OliviA screening high and having Rose doing baseline screens for King and Ekh swinging back and forth across the baseline for corner three opportunities. Look for Georgia to drive and dish of a layup move more so than usual.

Turning point

I felt like we made a bad decision taking Lynn Kidd out when were down 7. I like Poteat and would have preferred he played at the 4 with Kidd in the game at that point. The issue was height during that crucial stretch. I believe I remember a block at the rim on Poteat and a rebound where the Syracuse guy was just a touch higher and snagged a rebound just before it would have landed in Poteat's hands for an offensive board. It also seemed as if the defense collapsed when Kidd went out. Bad move on a sub for the sake of just subbing.

Everyone knows that they are

a top team year in and year out due to recruiting. They should be playing like Oak Hill. Oak Hill is a high school not a prep school and they do not play in the VA leagues. Neither should John Marshall but I don't really care one way or the other.

Take out the female audience that tuned in to watch Taylor.

This was the ol Peacock trick. Too bad we can't break it down into football fans and Taylor fans to get the true picture.

I mean if we want to be dumb here..

Kitley missed half her shots. This is basketball. If Wetzel has the same shot a minute later she probably makes it. What I saw about this game was lack of defense in critical situations. The beginning of the game when we were getting the doors blown off of us, should have been a timeout just to sub and chat. We waited for the TV timeout when they had already scored 23 points. You can't let the other team get away from you in a big game. I seem to remember Coach K calling timeouts after the first or second possession to settle those Duke teams that I couldn't stand. We have to do a better job of game management and analyzing stats in game. Someone should be telling Coach Brooks that we are plus 5 with this group on the floor and minus 10 with this group, IMO and maybe they do, I don't know.

Can we put some of these guys

back in the portal for a redo? We need to figure ourselves out bc this team shows no energy, has pitiful decision making, and have glue on their shoes. Horrible showing. Very disappointing to get a free afternoon and this is what I get to watch.

Super nice too!

These girls are all quality people. Proud to call them Hokies!

Clark leaves out Hokies in post game comments

It was an important beginning for the Hawkeyes, who head into a four-game stretch that includes a neutral-court game against No. 8 Virginia Tech, a road game against in-state school Northern Iowa, and home games against Kansas State and in-state school Drake. β€œWe need to go out and compete against some really great teams,” Clark said. β€œUNI, Drake, K-State β€” those are really difficult games. These are some of the most important moments that I think really gave us great success in late March last year. Being able to grow and move on as a team is really important.” Looks like message board material to me.

Missed the dine in 98

But was at the 96 and 2000 up there and of course the biggest Gameday squash ever in 99

Brandon Semones came to Tech

Shane played for Tech. Bruce Smith's kid got a scholly. Pierson's kid has a scholly. I realize bball is different but why not take a chance on a project that can shoot? Catoor for example? The zero star? Would anyone else in the ACC like to have him currently?

He was anti Frank in a few bowl games

If you go back. I seem to remember we missed out on some points in a sugar bowl or two and went for it instead but then again I have a foggy memory

I thought

It was Hanson that keeps getting beat. I haven’t had the mental toughness this year to go back and watch the losses to verify that though.

I pray the other team passes every down and that the incompletions are back

rather than spread out through the series. We can typically run with people to the edge and stretch but we cannot guard the middle. Tisdale being back helped some.

100% FG percentage is impressive!!

I would like to know how much junk was thrown up through out the day and if we are improving on defense.

I thought

Mike Vick was an exceptional play caller. He got Ricky Bustle a job with the Ragin Cajuns....

Yeah

because Wells isn't turning Drones into an alcoholic like your example above.

Would it not

make sense for the 7 schools to pony up a single exit fee and bribe another ACC school to break away with the payment and promise of inclusion if a new conference were formed (and left out in the cold if the other 7 find a home in the mega conferences)? Maybe I'm just breaking laws or something here
