Virginia Tech Predictions

By the way, I hate Virginia Tech forever for their thuggish mugging of Thad Lewis when he was a freshman.

From Chronicle: http://www.dukechronicle.com/article/ho ... lue-devils

Down 13-0 in the second quarter, quarterback Thaddeus Lewis-making his second collegiate start-rolled out to his right and hit tight end Nick Stefanow for a six-yard gain.

After Lewis let the ball go, Virginia Tech rover Aaron Rouse nailed the freshman with a helmet-to-helmet hit. The referees immediately flagged Rouse for the Hokies' third roughing-the-passer penalty of the first half. Lewis remained down on the field for several minutes before leaving for Duke's locker room, where he was diagnosed with a concussion.


Three personal foul late hits on our freshman QB in the first half? The last one knocked him out of the game. The replay showed Thad throw the ball and maybe 4 seconds later Rouse comes in and spears Thad helmet to helmet. Sickening. You don't think Beamer told his boys to rough up the freshman? They play dirty, their players are consistently getting arrested, and their fans are rubes.
 
If I was coach, I'd draw up a play to go right after the d linemen with instructions for the O line to chop block the hell out of him. I'd make sure the one going low hits that knee from the side.
 
I found you guys......I was at that game sitting right by Thads mom....disgusting display of beamer ball and by their fans.
 
I was really disappointed later that week that there was no action taken by Beamer or the ACC, after they had time to check video and reflect. Awful.

Welcome! Glad to see you over here.

And yes, I don't even like watching that video because it pisses me off so much. It's so awful that it elicits a visceral reaction, almost.

Pantone, get me cheap tickets for the UNC game!

Ha, no extras at this point... seems like there are a lot less floating around for this game, hopefully that means a good crowd.

I will be going to see my usual ticket benefactor sometime this week though, so I can let you know if I wind up with any.

I agree with that. I don't see one on the schedule.
Okay, but 3 wins ago did you see 3 more wins?

I think we're going to lose at VT. Ask me again w/ a tie score late in the third and I'll give a different answer, but for now I'll take a loss that is not so disheartening that we lose the next game, too.
 
those were the last 3 I thought we could win. Yes.

Didn't necessarily expect us to win all 3, but those were the 3 I thought we had a shot at.
