Also does anyone know why the targeting penalty was reversed? I was watching at a bar.

Not sure. It looked it could have went either way. Honestly, I think it was more targeting tha. It wasn't.

Now...the chickenshit call where Arkansas mysteriously ended up
With the ball?? I'm still Not sure what that was all about.

We were just letting Arkansas wear themselves out in the first half.

The old rope-a-dope. Otherwise known as the Rocky III strategy. And Rocky IV.

If you're a VT fan, that's one of those games that I hope you dvr'd. Holy shit, what a game.

I watched the first half in person, had to leave for the airport at half, then 'watched' up until we scored our 35th point by refreshing twitter, up to the point wheels were up.

Going to go watch the 2nd half and beat off here shortly.

I think that was ACC chant

It was a stupid melange of S-E-C and A-C-C. A few of the others weren't in on the joke.

I'm late to the game but Sprinkle was suspended for trying to shoplift during a shopping spree? That's fucking awesome! It's like when Marshawn Lynch tried to strong-arm 20 bucks out of the cops wife when he was at Buffalo.

I was a little confused at what happened to cause an Arky player ejected.

Looks like some piece of shit spat in the face of one of our guys (pretty sure it was Mook R., and he was pissed!)

Arkansas WR ejected for spitting in VT player's face

Props to the head hog for calling him out

General feeling at the start of the 4th quarter...

Who are they going to get? The coaching pool is very shallow.

Yeah this is pretty bad. So many blown leads under Bielema. In hindsight 2014 was probably his best team.

Bielema has a 15mm buyout. Arky be stuck for a while.
