Game Thread: VT at Puke, Durham NC, 12P, ACC Network

[Sleepy T]

These yuppies are pretty damned good again. Never thought I would see the day that we were underdogs to them but here we are and it's deserving. A win would nearly guarantee the bowl streak stays alive. Marshawn is 100% and we'll if this week off turns out to be better than the last one.

Is that quote a joke? He must be joking. There's no way its a disadvantage unless he plans on using the 3rd string QB in some type of gadget play, which at this point, don't even bother.

I can't tell. Here's this: <blockquote class="twitter-tweet" lang="en"><p>Since there's so much interest in what Loeffler said about the <a href="">November 13, 2014</a></blockquote> <script async src="//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script><blockquote class="twitter-tweet" lang="en"><p>And yes, during that answer, Loeffler appeared to be well aware of the absurdity of keeping the third-string QB a secret.</p>&mdash; Andy Bitter (@AndyBitterVT) <a href="">November 13, 2014</a></blockquote> <script async src="//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

I was at Duke last weekend. Beautiful campus. Weird ass painted table things in front of all the dorms...

Are you sure they weren't big benches? I've been to Duke a couple of times and they're spots people sit


But being a 7 point dog to Duke is rough...

 

[Forty_Sixand2]

They may have been benches but they were all painted and made differently. My coworker went there. I will have to remember to ask her tomorrow.

I think those tweets pretty much say it all. Do or die mode when we are going with a 3rd string QB as a surprise for a team.

 

[ACC_HOKIES]

3rd string quarterbacks can get after ya.

If they were going to keep something secret, seems like the McLaughlin announcement could have been delayed a few days instead of announcing it to the media, so the Duke defense wouldn't have all week to focus on how to exploit that.

No idea what happens this weekend.


Never thought I'd say that about a game @ Duke. Fuck, they might even have more of their own fans at the game than us. Make that two things I never thought I'd say.

I've got 7 hokies + 2 neutrals with hokie leans in my party, against just 2 dookies. Doin my part!

 

[ACC_HOKIES]

We've got four. Still not too late folks. Tickets are easy and cheap!

On the road, underdog to a ranked opponent... Maybe the team actually shows up?

I'll give you 4 bucks for all of em'.

Hope it's not a one score game...<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" lang="en"><p>Duke is 7-0 in their last seven one-score games. The <a href="">November 12, 2014</a></blockquote> <script async src="//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

Edit TV schedule... Game being shown ESPNU

 

[Forty_Sixand2]

Virginia Tech 37
Duke 13

I have no logical reason to feel this way and I will not see the game. My wife and I are going on a hike that is like 15 miles and the weather is just too damn good to put it off. It is cold but bright. I will DVR it to watch it later.

 

[VTscores]

I think VT has a legitimate chance in this game.

They just have to want to win badly enough to stay disciplined during the game. It would have to be one of their better efforts, they'd have to get a couple of elusive breaks, and they can't make a big mistake every time they're on the field. I know I ask a lot.

Maybe it will help if they remember that they're the underdog. It won't be easy, as Duke is one of those teams that finds a way to win.

 

[VTscores]

Anybody know where this is streaming?

I don't seem to get ESPNU.

 

[VTscores]

Nevermind. It seems to be working now...
