   15 straight losses to P4 OOC opponents? Looks like a streak that needs to be broken.

   Saturday was the Pry Show and it was great to see. As for Cunningham, if you look at the video, he took what looks like an intentional knee to the dittles while on his back.

   Kind of OK, if there ever was an almost completely new team this is the year and oline is one of those last things to gel. I don't have to like it but I get it. Follow on to that is would have preferred the Maryland game to be later in the season but that would just move other tough games up so, guess it's for the best to do the out of conference now. It's going to be tough. I'll be there, 30 minute shot from where I live. So, Pry actually is actually a pretty good football coach, who knew?🤠

   Andy, just want to make the point as well (I have before and will again!) how much we appreciate you being a part of TechSideline :-)

   Our quarterback holds the ball too long, our running backs lack vision, our cornerbacks are awful, our kicker can't kick from over 55 yards, the ACC sucks, whatever. Good lord people - we have had 2 good seasons since 2012, please just enjoy things for a minute. This is the fastest VT team I've seen since 2016. In 9 months Franklin has raised the floor to a point higher than it's been since that point. Please stop *****ing until we lose.

      Not going to lie - had me in the first half lol. The only true complaint I have is that i think Grunk has a massive windup and he could be quicker with the delivery. He had that one strip sack in the pocket that kind of shows how the loopy pass motion can hurt him. With all that being said - I am super optimistic about the team and it feels fun to watch Tech again, which I couldn't say about the last couple of years...

   An own-goal of a fumble right at the goal line that (briefly) cost the Hokies a touchdown Nothing "Brief" about it. That TD was permanently removed from the game and the record books. Keion doesn't have a TD to his name. It wasn't a brief cost for him or the team, it was/is permanent. Fortunately, another came our way.

   Q had to long passes in each of the last two games where he was very open and Grunk missed him long or his stats would be awesome.

    Thought i'd let you know I reached out to AD White and let him know we wanted Texas, Indiana, LSU, the Seahawks and Western Michigan on future schedules.

    We were heckled at our game watching party yesterday for the first time in a LONG time. As we were walking in, a lady made some comment about VT. And then a kid came by our table and asked if the Penn State fans were mad at us for stealing their coach. ( I pointed out that they had fired him and the kid went away.) Our group doubled from the first game. (It's a small group.) That was different, but people in Tallahassee are starting to pay attention.

    James Mitchell was a little more recent than 2000. Perhaps 2020?

    Grunkenmiller's long windup throwing motion is ripe for D-linemen to swat at. That won't be last time we see that I bet. Too late to make that change at this point I'd guess.

       That won't be the last time we see someone call him Grunkenmiller I bet. 🤣
