Maybe this is what we needed to see.

A team that has talent been taken advatage of by an inadequate group of coachs. Our D excluded, I have to say that the WF game was the culmination of a season long spiral of ever descending quality. I pray for a merciful end to this drudgery. Whit sees what we see. Today was a pathetic situation. My heart goes out to the players . They deserve better.

Does Motley Get Reps Friday?

How many reps does everyone think Motley will get in the game Friday? Many fans think that the turning point of the Wake game was when he was replaced after the drive that went into the Red Zone where he was the QB. All of a sudden, after the team gets some life, Brewer comes in and stalls it. I have a friend that was a successful football coach and he thinks Motley should have been starting the last three games. What have we got to lose?

Isn't it obvious?

Isn't it obvious what needs to be done? I really feel for you guys as you are caught up in what I call "deranged Bowden Syndrome". It was painfully obvious to the FSU fans that the game had passed him by, but we also had that large, deranged contingent of "fans" who were Bobby fans and not FSU fans. Ironically it was Wake Forest that was the beginning of the end for our dilemma too. We lost to them 30-0 at home. The next day Jeff Bowden "retired" and it was the beginning of the end for Bobby. I loved Bobby as much as anybody, but it was painfully obvious to everybody but him and his personal fans that the game had passed him by. You guys have to decide if you are VT fans or Frank Beamer fans and do what is right for your university and for the ACC in general. In a way you are also doing FB a favor. Right now he is destroying his legacy by hanging on too long. Bobby did the same thing. It is never easy, but there comes a time we have to tell our parents it is time to hang up the keys. That time is now for VT. Thank him for all he has done, throw a celebration, build him a statue and move on. It is time.

Interesting read!

I was curious about how UNC went from being an average university whose overall gpa wasn't all that impressive in the early 1980's into becoming what we now hear as "Harvard of the South".

I did an internet search and found a topic called "Grade Inflation at UNC-Chapel Hill". It was a report to the Faculty Council from February 2, 2000.

With everything going on at UNC, this report seems to be a concern for giving students higher grades than they deserved thus inflating the overall gpa average at the university. I believe the average gpa was under 2.5 at one point before all the extra credits and curve scores were included.

It is a pretty good read!

Fire Beamer Today

I can no longer watch an inept coaching staff manage this team into the ground. You will need a crowbar to open my wallet for this team.

The offensive scheme of this team is ludicrous. Our QB (Brewer) is single-handedly losing VT football games, yet our coaching staff will still not make a change. It's over folks. Whit, I beg you to make a change NOW!!

Just for fun... Wishlist.

Lets say SL is fired after the seaon... what are some REALISTIC options for VT?

I would like to see a whoe philosophy change... spread and score.. but Some ppl I would like to see is

1. Lincoln Riley.. Would instantly make VT a contender for some of the top QB's/WR in the area.

2. Brian Scott ODU OC.. one of the best offenses in all of College football no matter what level. Knows the state, especially the 757.

3. Marshall's OC Bill Legg.. He is an older coach far from a up and comer but has a great working system and dicipline on offense that VT has not seen in 15 years.


my reach is
Charlie Weis More of the style that Beamer likes.. He is still getting paid by ND, and Kansas./Horrible head coach but pretty damn good OC. Would be better than SL even if he is doing it for a hobby.

Herd fan here with some gameday ?'s in the Burg

Hello Hokies!
I am a herd fan and first off I want to say I respect your fans and program so much. You have always treated us with the upmost respect and kindness and I hope yall received the same when you visited Huntington a few years back. Anyway, my sister is a die hard hokie fan and has been since she could walk. She has never been to a home football game and she is the only hokie in my family while the rest of us are herd fans. This year I wanted to change that for her and I am bringing her to the VT vs UVA game this Friday for her first game. I want to make this the best experience for her possible. What are some things that would be fun to do or that are a must do before the big game? Tailgating of course but I would love to hear some ideas. Thank you all very much in advance and the best of luck to yall in your game against the wimps from UVA and the rest of your season. Hope we play each other again soon in the near future!

GO HERD!!! GO HOKIES!!!!

Guys give it time. Almost there. O will rank 99th in America tomorrow

The O put up 254 yards. The D gave up 234. Based on my calculations, the O will rank 97 to 99th in America tomorrow. With UVA and that D looming, it appears our legendary coach will have out done himself again with another VT offense ranked outside of 100th in America. The D will rank about 20th to 21st and with UVAs O looming, Bud will put another VT defense in the top 20 by seasons end. But hey, "just wait just wait until next year. This O will be different in Coach Beamers 28th or 29th year." LOL. He is changed and I am sure has learned and grown and next year is our year. Now hey, if not next year, just wait until 2016 then that will be our year. LOL.

Folks have some common sense and email your athletic director now. GET RID OF HIM.
