45-0? Can't move the ball. Can't stop them. Embarrassing.

They don't just defend him, they personally attack anyone that dares point out the obvious - that his time as passed. You get the immature posters who say "if you don't like Beamer you hate VT and should find another team to root for." How is that constructive?

You liked the fake punt call didn't you? Beamer almost cost us the game. He was bailed out by the defense. I honestly don't think he knew what the score was.

Please.....we.....beat.....Duke. Yes, they are better than they have been in recent history, but it's still Duke. This program is a mess. Will I take the win, hell yes, no matter how we tried to give it away. Running plays late in the fourth with 25 seconds sometimes on the play clock. Even having a fake punt as an option was mind boggling.

For some reason #41 DiNardo, who calls the ST plays, called for the fake. I don't get it.

In the post game CFB said that DiNardo messed up the play signal from the sideline.

What the hell play signal would that be? :shock:

Just punt the ball.

Seriously, did DiNardo have money on the game? I can't come up with any other scenario where you call that on 4th and 18, when winning in an upset on the road in the 4th. Why I. The hell would CFB let a player call a fake punt in that situation?

Frank explained it on the post game show. Apparently Frank was discussing the possibility of moving a guy back to help with punt protection with DiNardo. During the course of the conversation, DiNardo mistakenly thought he heard Frank use the code word for a fake punt. Apparently they were having trouble hearing each other (not sure why given the library atmosphere of Wallace Wade), so DiNardo went onto the field wrongly believing Frank called the fake. Frank said he was as confused as everyone else was when he saw it happen on the field.

actually the dookies have put together a couple of good years, they are still probably playing the noles again in the acccg, but yes IMO it is a limited run for them and once Boone leaves they head back to the middle of the pack. As for us we are a mess due to injuries, seriously, we got whacked with injuries this year, just look at the list!!! We still have a good coaching staff and with our injuries and playing so many Fr and So with little experience we are struggling yes..... the same as any other team would on this planet. We had a great run to think we would never have some down years is just not realistic, it happens to all teams.

We did not have many injuries when we played ECU. VT had no business losing that game. We got some injuries against GT, but again we were mostly healthy for that game and had no business losing.

C'mon Upstate, you're beginning to resemble 80. Take Dave's attitude, don't grumble, be happy.
As I see it, this season has been very competitive. Hokies only got flat out assbeat one time by a gang waiting in the alley with bats, knives, and rocks who were hellbent on revenge. cwtcr is right about the injuries.

My only beef is with the OL, but I can see changes developing there. Recruiting and a couple more seasons and fan patience should produce results.

Ya know you're right. The best thing to do is to just ride out the rest of the season and cheer like hell of the Hokies to beat Wake & UVA, and hopefully make & win a bowl. Winning y'day felt good, even if it was ugly and could have easily gone the other way. I did not expect us to win, and thought we would be going into the UVA game needing a win to get bowl eligible. Now we have a chance to get bowl eligible against wake, and beating UVA would be icing on the cake.

I think the thing that set me off this week was losing Dalton to UNC. I keep hearing that we're doing better in recruiting, but I'd like to see some objective evidence of that. Dalton was the first chance this season to prove it, and we lost him to a team that has had nothing but negative news stories come out on what seems like a weekly or monthly basis. And reading between the tea leaves, it sounds like he switched to UNC within the 48 hours leading up to his decision - VERY reminiscent of Nnadi.

We still have a chance to make a recruiting statement with Settle and Sweat, but many people were saying that one of the keys to getting Sweat was getting Dalton first. I guess we'll see.

you are 100% correct we should not have lost ecu or GT, and if our QB would not throw it to the other team so often we would not have lost those two games..... turnovers kill ya

from what I saw on the Dalton deal he was a UNC blue guy all the way, we were trying to sway him from his first choice.... how does it shock you that a teenager makes a bad decision. Yes, us as adults look at the tarhole mess and wonder why anyone would go there, but kids do not always make smart decisions, good luck to him tho.
