That Miami-VT game is going to be like watching two monkeys try to impregnate a football

Washington Post

By the end of the season, VT QB Logan Thomas will likely set every major VT record associated with quarterbacks and he’s on pace to lead Virginia Tech’s ground game in rushing for the second consecutive season.

[TigerBait1971]

[Jekku]

I expect more drops like that this game if this weather keeps up.

 

[Jekku]

Dammit! That was too easy! Step it up D

 

[Forty_Sixand2]

OK, so let's start all over again....

 

[Jekku]

Omg...

 

[Jekku]

Coach better tell these guys to hold the ball. Miami looking good though otherwise.

 

[Forty_Sixand2]

I think both teams need to tack up those gloves.

 

[Jekku]

Nobody wants the ball lol.

 

[Forty_Sixand2]

We need to kick every ball straight out of bounds. The 45 is just fine.

 

[UNA Lion]

We need to kick every ball straight out of bounds. The 45 is just fine.

Had similar thoughts.

 

[Jekku]

We need to kick every ball straight out of bounds. The 45 is just fine.

We'll take it lol esp with the way the balls being slipped around -_-

 

[Forty_Sixand2]
