Sigh. Tech needs to stop scheduling these powerhouse teams in the first weeks of the season if we're just gonna get our asses kicked every time.

[mooby]

Well at least they haven't quit. Thank goodness Beamer is a good coach and has made adjustments so we can get back into this. Now they need to just keep playing good mistake free football so we can get back into this.

Oh my gawd why aren't they showin an SEC game. My gawd don't you know that Gawd loves watching the 3 yards and a cloud of dust that is SEC football. The BCS should be all SEC teams. SEC SEC SEC SEC SEC SEC SEC SEC. Why are you brinin up Jacksonville State? They aren't in da SEC.

This is what I heard all weekend, though I did take some liberties with the script.

GO MARYLAND!!!!!

I was actually hoping Maryland would loose. I'm tired of this inability to win games and develop talent. So many High School players have been in the Maryland area and yet they can't keep anyone from leaving. Which would be fine if they could actually win.

Friedgen needs to go.

Yeah, you know what good for VT. Takes guts not to schedule Jacksonville State or App State during the first week of the season.

Ughhhhh. I'm cursing this team. Right as I start typing about how the comeback is complete and Tech has taken the lead, Boise State breaks free for a 70 yard touchdown. Aiight I'm out, I don't wanna curse this team any more than I have.

Stay medium my brother.

Omg!!!

If I was a destructive type person, I'd be destroying my room right now. Another season over, another season where barely the first week gets by and I already know VT is stuck for another year of hovering around the top 15 but they will not be in contention for a title.

It's painful for me to watch Kellen Moore drive his team down the field in about a minute to score a game winning touchdown with no timeouts, then when the Hokies have the same opportunity it's long failed bombs and incomplete passes. I'll just let the smilies express the frustration I can't put into words right now.

Eh, only one tam can win the national title. Tech is still going to have a Bowl season. For only returning 4 startes on defense they played well. Boise State is a good squad and we almost had them by the nuts.Beamer will get his national title. Either that or he will go down as the best coach to not get one.

The season is not shot anything can happen.

[Big C]

is anyone really surprised that we blew another early season game? tech had me fooled for a minute, but the second that we didnt convert that 3rd down and had to punt to give boise the ball back, boise became the heavy, and i mean extremely heavy favorite. pissed off that this continues to happen. late game self-destruction.

The season is definitely not shot but it's just getting really tiring lining up a top 5 opponent early in the regular season, and for some reason we always lose those games. I definitely admire the fact that VT isn't like the pretentious bowl teams that line up the easiest possible schedule to get to a good bowl game, but I'm tired of always going into October with a loss to a bowl team already on our record.

It's easier to accept it when you play a great team and once they go up, they stay up and you already know once the game is over they'll come back and eventually finish with a decent record on the season, but it's just harder to watch the up and down kinda game we just witnessed, and you get so paralyzing and tantalyzing close to actually beating a great team only to get let down in the end again.

In the end VT will probably end up with another 10 win season and maybe another bowl game win, but it sucks knowing that first loss will always mean they'll never be mentioned amongst the top teams in college football that year.

[Big C]

agreed. id love to see how we would do against the big boys mid season rather than the first game of the year. we really suck or lose early on (alabama, ECU, LSU, USC...) all since 2004.

also, i was reading on another message board but it made me think...how similar does the ending of this game feel to the BC loss with matt ryan a few years back in blacksburg? blowing a late lead like that to a top 5 team. hurts. i was at that game.
