I like how the cheerleaders are just no hesitation storming the FSU court

Actually I'm surprised we had cheerleaders at an away game in 1980. Was that common back then? Or was this some kind of special game?

Crazy to think all of those coaches never thought to just "guard better"
GCHokie34 • 01/16/26 11:16 AM ET
Crazy that just cause you’re a coach no one else can ever have an opinion
cbhokie1 • 01/16/26 01:22 PM ET
rotflmfao!!! Good grief! In your world players shoot mid court shots and

Just because someone disagrees with your opinion……
Jackie VT • 01/16/26 03:14 PM ET
That’s NOT a wide open shot. A right handed player was forced down the left
hokiepro • 01/16/26 02:07 PM ET
Who's disagreeing?**

SteveInBaltimore • 01/16/26 12:18 PM ET
Well-played, sir.**
Will StewartAdmin • 01/16/26 02:22 PM ET
That guy is currently a ref that does our games.
vatechcowpatty • 01/16/26 11:10 AM ET
Yes it was and someone said it’s the bball gods paying us back BUT
hokiepro • 01/16/26 11:06 AM ET
Actually didn't FSU kind of pay us back
SteveInBaltimore • 01/16/26 02:10 PM ET
Hey, @Chris Coleman ....
Will StewartAdmin • 01/16/26 10:47 AM ET
That was the greenberg flip out game! Was at this one - odu fans were loud
AnotherTechW • 01/16/26 11:03 AM ET
Isn't that Stacey Palmore who recently passed away there on the VT staff**
Italian Stallion • 01/16/26 02:59 PM ET
Yes**
AnotherTechW • 01/16/26 03:25 PM ET
Current UVa head coach Ryan Odom was the "get back" guy for . . .
HokieKip • 01/16/26 01:00 PM ET
And ODU fans never let us forget it. **
Stork • 01/16/26 12:19 PM ET
#1 for ODU clearly walks at the 2:55 mark. Also ... Ryan Odom sighting**
Will StewartAdmin • 01/16/26 11:08 AM ET
I think I remember it happening, but I don't remember the year.**
Chris ColemanAdmin • 01/16/26 10:56 AM ET
Oh yeah we’ve definitely had some halftime buzzer beaters from at or near
hokiepro • 01/16/26 10:53 AM ET
Is this really an outlier? I mean that's 4 over ~600 games. Or .67%.
marcbvtgm • 01/16/26 09:24 AM ET
I can’t remember any game we won on a half court shot
AnotherTechW • 01/16/26 11:06 AM ET
We haven’t won one longer than a standard 3 pt distance in
hokiepro • 01/16/26 10:24 AM ET
We’re not talking 30 footers the shortest one was 42 Dockery’s
hokiepro • 01/16/26 10:22 AM ET
It's me, hi, I'm the problem, it's me.
