So this game will be the last home game for the one man offensive. So the chokie nation better hope that he shows and gives all what he has because it will be ashame to see the loyal chokie nation see their hero go down in flames like the sorry chokies this season!! After all the chokies did win a game 2 back but got crushed by Miami!! So if the one man offensive shows up he alone can keep the chokies in it but like others were saying/hinting that the beloved over hyped chokies are mailing it in they will lose like normal!! I do hope to see that arena called cassell full or tell the video dept to not pan around because the holes shown makes the chokie nation backs look foolish because they can run their mouths and yet won’t show up and back the beloved chokies!!! Go Chokies!!!
Do you know why VT did not recruit Andrew Rowsey from Rockbridge??
Hey potato head, what’s your record number of times for saying chokie? You really write a thought provoking blog.
Mr. Potato Hip, I think you spelled Hokie wrong.
No ACC schools did. He picked UNC Asheville over High Point and Richmond.
No VTredfox! You are the chokies get use to it!!!
Thanks for advising Mark. UNCA gain is good get-this guy can fill it up!!
