BS. Sorry. No point in reviewing plays if you’re not going to get them right. Junk the system. It doesn’t work.
The first time.
Over-under on how many questions it takes us in the press conference to get to, “So, Al, was this your last game in Charlottesville?”
The red zone is for immediate loading and unloading of passengers only. There is no stopping in the white zone.
Gobble. Gobble. Let’s go Hokies
My call: two.
I take solace in the knowledge that Tech at 9-3 gets to play for the 900th time in the Chick-Fil-A Bowl. So … big deal.
I’m going to go eat dinner with the family. I’ll check back in later. I just heard my dog barking incessantly which means someone is over. If that is my Va Tech loving next door neighbor – I’m going to defecate in his front yard when walking my dog tonight.
I feel a runback for a TD on the kickoff here.
Or a fumble.
They are both equally likely.
Less than one quarter of Al Groh left.
Our next win against Tech will be in 2013. You heard it here first.
Today’s attendance: 58,500-something. Surprise. Couldn’t even sell ‘er out with a stadium full of Hokies.
At least we’re not FSU . . .
True, we did score a few points.
2013 … that would make it 14-of-15 for Tech before we win another one. Hammer, meet nail.
2nd-and-2, 3rd-and-7
Why not go for it there? What the hell is the difference?
So, none of our predictions were close…
Naturally, then a third-down play that had no chance of picking up the first down, then a punt.
Can we borrow the gong from “The Gong Show” and take care of this virtual execution live on the field? And can I bang the gong?
What was that punt, 17 yards?
Chris please be the first person to ask a question in the press conference, and ask him this: “So Al, do you have any applications in at McDonalds? You’ll obviously need a job after today.”
Get it on, bang the gong, get it on
Indeed, why not go for it there? Memo to Al: They’re firing your ass after the game! Go for it, punt it, whatever – you’re done! Show that you still have a set and try to win!
The spread was 16. Are we trying to keep it under for the bookies?
Technically, I said Tech would win by two touchdowns … that could still happen – even though the score was off. Here’s what I would say … UVa. played pretty well today. Sewell did well. If they had played this well every game, they could have beat some of the teams they lost to.
I hope Chris didn’t throw anything on that play.
And that play epitomizes both teams.
That’s a TD.
Are Viginia fans booing Chris? Goodness I hope so.
The boos I heard on TV after Al’s decison to punt were loud – AND I heard a fan loudly say … Why not try to win it, AL?
That play epitomizes how far the UVa. football program has fallen. Dick Bestwick is embarrassed. Sonny Randle is embarrassed.
Kids, remember, the next coaching staff is watching this tape to see who gave up and who kept playing.
Just one – one shot at a deep ball. Just one. That’s all I ask.
That was great!! The ref was giving the call and a player was walking towards him and he just shoved him out of the way!
With one hand!
Punt! Wait. Only third down. Punt anyway!
Crystal is guessing that hubby will need Starbucks and much consoling tonight … but I’m guessing the good news will come tomorrow: Time for change at UVa.
Score update:
Florida 37, FSU 3
I need no consoling. I expected little, and though it didn’t meet my expectations, I still had halftime cupcakes!
That said, my feet are cold.
The good news will come at 1pm tomorrow.
I swear I bet Chris and I could do as good a job coaching that team, and we’d only need like 10% of what makes. The utter and complete lack of 2nd half adjustments all year has been astounding.
Noise in the box next to me. Coaches putting the finishing touches on their resumes.
I think Groh to save his skin after this game should have chartered a helicopter that would drop down a ladder so he could leave without getting too much injury.
I bet you are freezing … but yes, halftime cupcakes. That makes the trip to Charlottesville worth it! I wish I had cupcakes.
I think we should start a Website to hire Chris … like you said, he’d work for peanuts and I bet he’d be awesome.
Me too, Crystal and I just had birthday cake a little while ago…
It was a neighbor just not the Hokie one. I’m still going to defecate in his yard . . .
I want cake! Maybe Chris will confiscate a cupcake for me!
There are so many places in big cities (that my friends who live in big cities rave about) that sell cupcakes only. I want to get locked in after hours at a place like that so I could eat my fill.
Striker, listen, and you listen close: flying a plane is no different than riding a bicycle, just a lot harder to put baseball cards in the spokes.
We couldn’t do any worse, Jay. I mean, we wouldn’t allow a loss to W&M, for example.
If they paid me $200K, I could win win them three games.
Can we demonstrate any type of back bone?
We might go 0-9 against Virginia Tech, but they paid Groh $20 million to go 1-8. We’d be much more cost-effective.
Ha ha, the announcers just mentioned that loss to W&M.
