Week 1: Virginia Tech Hokies vs Alabama Crimson Tide @ Atlanta, GA (8/31/2103)

Not saying it's totally impossible. But would probably be the biggest upset I have ever seen.
For nothing other than that this isn't like the jmu-VT or app state-Michigan where one team is crappy and a joke school, and the other is a legit power.... Alabama won't take us lightly at all. Especially not under Saban.

...and we have nothing to lose....

We have a product marching out in less than 100 days now where we as fans will honestly have no clue what we will be getting. But I will take our situation any day than being stuck like we were in 2008/2009 with (G-word here) great talent and a coaching staff ridden with complacency (excluding the D). I kind of find this situation refreshing at least...

Maybe Loeffler will come out and go all "Boise" on them....pull out whatever trick is in the bag. VT won't have a shot if we stick to Beamer's vanilla offensive philosophy.

Absolutely agree. Everyone is gonna have to play lights out and that includes the coaches. I know you try not to overcomplicate things, especially with a new offense ,but Loeffler and the O better have a couple tricks up its sleeve to try weasel out a big play or two.

Matt, the big question is: are you going to be decked out in VT gear or are they going to force you to wear red since you got a hookup through their AD?

 

[NickVT10]

He will probably be wearing a blue and yellow SEC shirt

 

[VTscores]

I get how huge that win would be... But we have lesser talent, lesser coaching, a ton of youth, and new offensive system debuting against the most decorated program in the history of the sport, in the midst of their best streak ever. Oh... And it's away from home.

So screw it, might as well go for it, right?

 

[MattB4VT]

I'm gonna be wearing maroon and orange of course haha.
If we win, I will probably get my ass kicked honestly.
