If you haven’t read the Roanoke Times article about Bud Foster’s denial of running a prevent defense in the final minutes of the infamous Boston College collapse, you simply must. It is a great attempt at deception! (Click here to read it.)
After reading the article, it sounds to me like Bud was downright defiant of [...]

The Home Stretch – Coastal Division Shakedown
Posted in Virginia Tech football, tagged ACC, Coastal Division, football, Virginia Tech Hokies on October 30, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
The Hokies have four ACC games left on the schedule and despite the loss to Boston College, they still control their own destiny with regards to the ACC title game. Below is the remaining schedule for the top Coastal Division team and how I feel the final games will play out.
Hokies close with GT (2-3), [...]
Vegas Favors the Hokies against B.C.

I like Virginia Tech’s chances against undefeated and No. 2 ranked Boston College Thursday night, but I am honestly surprised, given the Hokies struggles on offense, that they opened as a 3-point favorite. There can be only one explanation for the line … Lane Stadium.
If this game were at Boston College, the Eagles would most [...]

However, because the Hokies had this weekend off, I thought I would give myself a little [...]

Hokies Cheat Death Valley, Whip Tigers 41-23

Tech won the game. First and foremost the 15th ranked Hokies whipped the 22nd ranked Clemson Tigers, 41-23. It was certainly not the game Hokie fans expected. While most hoped for a win, I think any Tech fan that tells you they thought Beamer and the boys would hang 41 on the Tigers in Death [...]
Albert Einstein and Virginia Tech’s Offense

The famed braniac and resident genius Albert Einstein said, “Insanity is doing the same thing again and expecting a different result.” That’s right. I just quoted Al and you probably know where I’m going with this.
I read Bill Roth’s latest “Roth Report” and while I agree with the “check engine light is ablaze” analogy used [...]
