48-nil, Tyrod Rulez!, ‘Skins fade … again, OT madness

WINNER: 48-nil
Was Virginia really 0-15 in the state of Florida before last Saturday night?
That’s some way to get off the schneid.
Next up – the schneid that has the ‘Hoos losing seven of their last eight to the Colossus from Blacksburg.

WINNER: Tyrod Rulez!
OK, so he’s clearly the more talented of the two quarterbacks in the two-quarterback rotation at Virginia Tech.
And another Hokie signal-caller makes his name against Florida State …
(At least this one did so in a winning cause.)

LOSERS: ‘Skins blow another late lead at home
And to an NFC East foe to boot.
I’m going to go out on a limb here – Washington is not going to make the playoffs this year.

LOSERS: D2 and D3 football in Virginia
Only Hampden-Sydney makes the playoffs among the thousand or so Virginia teams that play D2 and D3 football.
What happened to ye – VUU, Bridgewater, Christopher Newport …

WINNERS: UR beats Delaware in 5 OTs
Am I the only one who thinks the rule that forces teams to go for two from the third overtime on is too clever by half?
I mean, like, sure, two-point conversions are easy.
So if both teams are just as likely to miss those as they are to make extra points …
Never mind.

UVA Football: The product is not worth the emotional investment anymore

I’m not going to be overly critical here, after the Virginia offense was, again, underwhelming, putting up less than 300 yards for the third straight game, this week leading to a 23-13 loss at #24 SMU.
