Barry – Does GT not have their only blog? Please find one and leave. We really could care less about your stingless bees as the Hokies have owned them since coming to the ACC. I know you don’t want to hear that, but the truth hurts. Hope you have a good week thinking about USC and another loss!

The Jackets did make it interesting in the final quarter even without a sting. We will be better next year and the Hokies will be worse, don’t y’all agree?

Also, a huge congratulation to JJ and the Hurrying Hokies. That was a huge statement win yesterday. There’s one more big game coming up, West, by God, Virginia and their style is similar to Tech. Both teams loves to shoot from downtown, and the difference in this game is if Tech can conquer the 1-3-1 zone that West Virginia employs by using backdoor passes and finishers, I think that Tech can hang with them. The zone defense and full-court press are effective in slowing down up-tempo teams, like UNC and Virginia Tech, but if they can get smarter with their shot selections, I think that Virginia Tech can finish the 3 game stretch with an empathic victory.

Barry, it’s ok, you are just a sore loser because as I have repeated so many time, Tevin Washington have a penchant for killing promising drives with an interception. It happened in Blacksburg, thanks Gayle and Kyle Fuller, and it happened last night.

BOOM!

FSU 21, GT 15. BOOM! Have a nice Sunday.

Dear Barry from Ivy, I want to be one of the very first to offer you my condolences on your loss. Your little swarm of insects had no sting! Three field goals in the first three and a half quarters was just too little and too late to beat FSU. I would hope you will grab a big ol jug of your Ivy Koolaide and a crying towel or two and go hibernate in a deep hole somwhere until the Spring thaw! When you come out of your hole, find a GT forum and leave the Hokie fans alone.
Thanks

Good effort by the Jackets but got to score touchdowns in the red zone. It was there for the taking in the second half, just came up short. Closer than you Hokie fans wanted to believe. Guess you are on the way to Orlando.

Barry, once again, the blog crowd who said FSU would win were right once again. BOOM!

Hey Crooked Road, I hope you are right, maybe the big money power brokers will lean on Beamer. I believe Weaver is only a sound board and he will need Stegers ear to have any changes. Would not wait too long make the needed changes.

What a great win by the Hurrin’ Hokies 2.0! First win over a ranked non-conference team in about eleventy gazillion years! Huge, HUGE DAP to Coach Johnson & the team!

Fun to watch, the players are loving it, and the results are there. More important than the wins is the way the team is becoming more consistent every game in their play through the game. That was always a fault in years past – they’d go to sleep for 4-5 minutes at a stretch, and the opponent would go on a 15-0 tear, or whatever. Now it is US going on the tear. FT shooting is great, another historical weakness. 3 pt shooting is frequent and higher percentage, too. Johnson is also seamless in his substitution patterns. We’re short handed this season, but you’d never know it thus far.

Just an awesome job by Johnson & his team.

VA tech is the one that should be left out. Tech will probably get a bowl game close to home so more fans will go. It’s all about money . Tech does not deserve a bowl game. The team and coaches are all overrated.
