Chris Graham: Mike London’s text, Matt Schaub’s tweets

Chris Graham

Remember when I speculated postgame that Mike London, when asked about his baffling endgame strategy that had him saving two timeouts to use to ice Virginia Tech kicker Cody Journell on the game’s final play, rather than deploying the timeouts to give his team anywhere from 55 seconds to a minute to try to come up with a tying score, would say that he had given up on his offense?

Chris Graham: Ye, Mike London, of little faith

Here’s what’s going through Mike London’s head as the clock continued to tick in the closing moments in Lane Stadium Saturday. No way our offense can move the ball. And even if we move the ball, no way our kicker makes a kick. That’s why I tried that ridiculous fake field goal in the third quarter up a touchdown with the momentum going our way. Best thing we can do here is let the clock run down, hope he misses it, and then we go to overtime.

The year 2012 marked the 150th anniversary of Confederate General Thomas “Stonewall” Jackson’s 1862 Shenandoah Valley Campaign. Conducted during the spring and early summer of 1862, Jackson’s maneuvers in the Valley are still considered by historians and military strategists to be nothing short of tactical genius. On Thursday, Dec. 6, at 7 p.m., the Augusta County Historical Society will present “Keeping the Federals at Bay: Stonewall Jackson’s 1862 Valley Campaign.”
