FBS Mission Statement:

We at FBS believe that offensive coordinator Bryan Stinespring bears the largest share of the blame for years of sub-par output from some of the most talented players ever to set foot on Worsham Field. We believe the main objective of the VT football program - a national championship - will escape us as long as Stinespring is making the calls. We therefore advocate the improvement of our football program through the replacement of our offensive coordinator.

Fired up and ready to go! I'll be in the stands!

Musky11 said...

I am interested to see what the turn out is like.

I have some JD out. Please excuse anything I write after the 2nd qtr.

We have not talked much about Thunderleg Coale. Nice change in the punting game.

DW 175 yds.

Mark said...

Does anyone know if a picure of that Virginia Tech "tombstone" in Clemson's "graveyard" was put up in the VT locker room this week?

Musky11 said...

Kick their arses!

Musky11 said...

ESEC / ESBIG10 is once again dissing the ACC. I still am not sure what channel the game is on.

Shane said...

ESPN (main channel). Herbstreit & Musberger announcing. I have mixed feelings about that.

Shane said...

Let's GO!!!

Billy said...

I wish this wasn't primetime just so it wouldn't have Musburger.

Shane said...

Gotta stop!!

Shane said...

Crap.

Hokies_All_Day said...

Really????

Hokies_All_Day said...

Thomas should have handed off.

Hokies_All_Day said...

Way to give it to em D, I should say O

Billy said...

The shitty pass defense lives to see another day.

Mark said...

OK, lets get that out of our system.

LuvzAznChix said...

In keeping with the theme I think a simple mantra should be continued this week. "On Saturday in [Bank of America] Stadium there is one maxim to follow, one supreme commandment: break them.

Whoever is trying to pass the ball against us, [DESTROY] them.

Whoever is trying to run the ball against us, break them.

Whoever is trying to tackle us, [RUN THEIR ASSES OVER INTO THE FUCKING FIELD].

[Whoever is attempting to catch the ball against us, SNAP THEIR SPINAL CHORDS IN HALF].

Break the [P***ykittens]. Win the [ACCCG]. Own the [conference]. Earn our shot at redemption.

One more time."

LuvzAznChix said...

HOKIEBOTS...ROLL OUT!

Hokies_All_Day said...

Ok lets go boys

Hokies_All_Day said...

Run the damn ball......

Billy said...

David Wilson still has no runs, I'm sick of this first half Stinespring gameplan.

Musky11 said...

Looks like they have prepared like a bowl game

LuvzAznChix said...

Hmm, looks like Clemson's ready for us tonight. Not so much for us.

Billy said...

Is it the second half yet? Also my captcha for this post was "rally".

Billy said...

Marcus Davis looks to continue his momentum.

LuvzAznChix said...

COLES BABY! NO SHUTOUT THIS TIME DABO! AIN'T GOIN OUT LIKE A BITCH!!!

Joe Hokie said...

looks like it's a struggle between O'Cain and Stinebrainless over who is calling the plays. Hope O'Cain is able to hold out and win the majority of them so we see more of those good runs and long passes.

BigTony said...

Is it just me, or did Clemson just switch to Georgia Tech's playbook?

Shane said...

Jesus H. Christ on a popsicle stick! Play some D. Oh, and play some O.

Billy said...

Remember when Virginia Tech had a defense?

Hokies_All_Day said...

Helmet to helmet hit, no call.

Billy said...

ACC refs can't call penalties that actually happen, only those that don't.

Billy said...

Remember when Virginia Tech had a really good run defense?

Mark said...

Why is it that the Clemson defense cant stop anyone except the Virginia Tech offense?

vtbaby said...

Epic Bullshit

Billy said...

ARE YOU FUCKING SHITTING ME? EVERY ONE OF HIS FINGERS MOVED BACKWARDS

Shane said...

Dabo has put the fix in.

Shane said...

Need one competent series on offense.

Joe Hokie said...

Did someone in the front office decide that Clempson had to win this game and put the fix in with the refs?

Billy said...

10-10 at half with that roughing screwjob another 1st play fumble. Good position for Mike O'Cain's real gameplan.

Mark said...

Tied with Clemson after a first half slop-fest. I hope MOC has some adjustments to make. Lets play a good second half and win this thing.

Billy said...

David Wilson has six (6) carries in the first half.

Musky11 said...

We will run over them in the 2nd ahlve.

Shane said...

Time for the MOC adjustments. Anything short of competence will be disappointing. I didn't expect a blow-out or domination, but this is ridiculous.

Shane said...

I'm really torn. Win & redeem ourselves only to play the couch-burners (which is a no-win situation) or lose & play a #4/5 SEC team in the also-ran bowl.

OK, win. Fuck Clemson.

Shane said...

Am I the only one here? Or the only drunk one? This blows goats.

wendean said...

As I posted on TSL:

1. We're rattling Boyd and getting pressure on him. He's missing some reads and struggling with the speed of our D.
2. LT got in a rhythm at the end of the half and looked pretty good on his passes.
3. We've had dropped balls, missed calls, one bad play on O, one bad play on D, and the score is still 10-10.
4. We get the ball back and a chance to drive it down their throats in the 3rd.

I think if we can open up some holes for DW, it will open of the passing game even more. I'd like to see a fake bubble screen since CU is playing press coverage and have LT bomb it downfield. They're flying to the ball right now, so counter runs and option reads should work well until they change it up. Then we just pound the ball at them and mix in some quick slants with play action. Even if none of this stuff happens, we're great at making changes at halftime and I have confidence we'll do it again. Go Hokies!

Shane said...

Good Lord. The half-time entertainment pretty much seals the deal on the ACC being a premier conference.

Shane said...

I think next year they should feature 'bowling for dollars' at half-time. Or Amish rake fights.

Shane said...

I hope you're right wendean!

I just vomitted into my mouth at the conclusion of the scintillating entertainment.

Higgy said...

SHANE.... MOST OF US ARE IN SHOCK. HOKIES ARE HAVING FLASHBACKS TO THE LAST CLEMPSON DEBACLE.

Shane said...

God dammit all to hell.

Shane said...

Hosley needs to shake it off & get in the game.

Shane said...

Fark.

Billy said...

Pass defense is so goddamn awful.

Billy said...

When did this "penalizing two plays later" crap start, anyway?

Hokies_All_Day said...

Hosley needs to suck it up and get his punk ass back in the game. But but I am going to the NFL. I don't care get your butt out there and play. Exum fall on the damn ball he tried to pick it up.

Hokies_All_Day said...

Horse fucking collar, officiating sucks

Billy said...

Hey look another no flag on a blatant horsecollar.

Billy said...

Jesus fucking Christ these refs

Hokies_All_Day said...

The refs are missing everyting what the hell is going on here?

vtbaby said...

WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS!!! TOTAL B.S.

Hokies_All_Day said...

Chick Fil A Bowl here we come....

Mark said...

Need a turnover badly.

Hokies_All_Day said...

Thanks Hosley for being a bitch

Billy said...

Good thing the pass defense is still shitty.

wendean said...

This is not looking good. And I'm thinking Hosley's "stinger" is a concussion from the no call H-2-H. Our offensive line needs to step it up! For that matter, so does the officiating crew! They have been terrible considering they are supposedly "the best" in the ACC.

Billy said...

What the fuck is even going on? Where is the team of the last few weeks?

Hokies_All_Day said...

Last replay shows facemask I believe

Billy said...

And David Wilson still hasn't even broken double digit carries.

Hokies_All_Day said...

Good thing I like Chick Fil A cause that is the only reason I will be watching that bowl.

Hokies_All_Day said...

Defense is gased now. I am going to bed.

LuvzAznChix said...

Well, that's about it. It was a great year guys. But we were due for an ACCCG loss eventually. There's really little chance of coming back from this.

ZERO composure as evidenced by penalties, ZERO run blocking, ZERO momentum, Bonner looking like a dear-in-the-headlights. It's over.

It was a good run but O'Cain doesn't have an answer fro Clem's DC. About the ONLY thing going for us in this game is the punting (save for that last one).

We still have a chance to win 12 games, but we will not win this one.

Billy said...

I can't watch this bullshit anymore.

Unknown said...

Some amazing tackling there.....wow

wendean said...

Well guys, go get wasted and change the channel. This one is over. We are getting embarrassed by CU and referee walk ons...

Illinois Hokie said...

Total clusterfuck on every side of the ball. Plus some HORRIBLE officiating. I mean bribery bad. Literally EVERY call has gone against us.

Team has lost composure. Coaches have no answers. And refs apparently have it out for us.

This is painful.

wendean said...

Yay another penalty! Illegal forward progression of the ball on the Hokies. 15 yard penalty. Automatic 4th down.

Hokies_All_Day said...

One last question, did we even gameplan for this game? The refs suck, good job Clemson is all we can say. Thier D has been all over LT and DW. We made 0 adjustments in the half and actually have played worse than the first half.

LuvzAznChix said...

I guess the only other highlight are some decent KRs by Gregory. But that's it. Clemson just had our number this year.

Musky11 said...

Bye Bye You will never see me here again..too many too many

Billy said...

Not content, the Hokies are now tackling themselves.

Billy said...

Good job Boykin, not politely handing the ball to the official.

LuvzAznChix said...

Guys, seriously, what have I been saying ALL SEASON. IT'S JUST GONNA BE ONE OF THOSE YEARS IN TERMS OF OFFICIATING AGAINST US. There's absolutely NOTHING we or they can do about it except DOING THEIR JOBS TO THE BEST AND COMPOSURE OF THEIR ABILITIES. That's all.

Billy said...

Is Wilson injured or something?

wendean said...

Boykin was line up offsides too...these refs are blind. Wonder how many plays Beamer will submit for review?

Billy said...

I imagine he'll just send the full game.

LuvzAznChix said...

wendean, it won't matter because they ain't gonna do shit about it.

LuvzAznChix said...

I'm glad Boykin, Coale & maybe Wilson are headed to the pros after this. They deserve better.

Billy said...

David Wilson is averaging three carries per quarter.

Illinois Hokie said...

Dragerbomb fail.

Illinois Hokie said...

Billy, Wilson's is jacked up. He did not look right at all on his last carry. I think it's Oglesby the rest of the way in this one.

wendean said...

Well, all I have now is to pull for OKST to beat OU by 60+ so they can jump Bama. I don't want another snooze of the century for the MNC.

LuvzAznChix said...

vtbaby, you said it RIGHT. TOTAL B.S.=Bryan STINESHIT (with camera ho' Curt Newsome)

Billy said...

I'm just going to drown my sorrows in Blue Moon and Skyrim.

Nit-Whitt said...

Why I their defense suddenly so good (or always against us)? They've horrible against worse team and we make them look like the #1 D in the nation. Seriously, look at their stats over the last 4 games...

greeny said...

why is it that every other team in the NCAA can score around 30 pts against clemson, but VT. Our offense has been pretty good for the last few weeks, but total shut down tonight.

LuvzAznChix said...

It's like the game against Stanford all over. I can just hear it: "OV-ER-RA-TED! CLAP CLAP CLAP-CLAP-CLAP!" Virginia Tech is overrated.

Jess said...

Do you know how much maroon im wearing in Clemson right now?? C'mon Hokies let me make it out alive!

Billy said...

It really is Stanford all over again. Close game at halftime, some decent plays, then a complete bedshitting in the second half.

LuvzAznChix said...

Just let him through, D'. You've already proven they are a superior team with superior coaches and players than us. You can't stop him. You gave up after the half.

LuvzAznChix said...

THEY OWN US!!! =D YAYYY WE SUCK AND ARE OVERRATED!!!

Nit-Whitt said...

I hate this for our defense. They been held together with duct tape for most of the year. Our offensive game plan was ridiculously stupid. What happened to the short screen, crossing routes, etc that have worked so successfully. It's like we decided before the game their D is too good and we threw our half the playbook!

LuvzAznChix said...

So, who do we attack now for this ULTRA UNDERperformance!? Stineshit? Newsome? CFB? Foster? The players? WHO and WHAT THE HELL DO WE NEED TO BLAME TO FIX THIS FUCKING SHIT!?!?

Billy said...

Another flag? This is my surprised face.

greeny said...

change website to say fire stinespring and beamer.com

LuvzAznChix said...

Oh yeah, and Coles has been doing well too.

Pissed Off said...

someone needs to be fucking fired over this horseshit...and i think we all know who...sorry for the salty language...it's the bourbon speaking...

Billy said...

Goodnight guys.

LuvzAznChix said...

And THERE'S the pick we were all waiting for. It was just a matter of time.

greeny said...

lot of the problem is loss of hosley. they have a weak pass defense to begin with, take away the one decent player back there, and then they have to rearrange everything to help, which allows clemson to just run wild at will

LuvzAznChix said...

PissedOff, I think a NUMBER of coaching positions need to be eliminated

Nit-Whitt said...

I'm about to do something I've never done...turning off a vt game and "checking out". Too sick to my stomach way big this.

LuvzAznChix said...

Another round of physical punishment and p*wnge awaits #3 right after these messages.

Nit-Whitt said...

Btw- hate iPhone autocorrect! Good night.

greeny said...

what bothers me the most about this season was the inconsistency of the offense. i knwo that uva is not a great team, but the team that beat them 35-0 is not there tonight, this is more like the team that needed duke to miss two FGs to win.

LuvzAznChix said...

I thought we should've implemented Davis more in this game simply BECAUSE of his height.

LuvzAznChix said...

I'm sure Stineshit had a large portion to do with this because seriously, who calls a qb sneak from the shotgun.

greeny said...

all that being said, i think that this young team will be a power next season, with a healthy defense, and the return of roberts, could make a run at title.

Joe Hokie said...

I'm sure the team prepared for this game like they prepare for every game -- nothing different from CFB. Then they hit the field and find out that they couldn't catch a break from the refs, with several calls that really changed the momentum. Injuries screwed with the game plan, and the coaching staff fell into its old ways. It stuck with what it had worked out on the computer in the week before and didn't know how to adjust. Somehow O'Cain was overruled on his playcalling, leaving VT with its old ways of "when something works, stop doing it." We can only hope that in the offseason that some other coordinators are moved into administrative positions to get them out of the way of messing up game-day activities next year.

Billy said...

I switched to the Big Ten game and Gus Johnson's angelic voice immediately lifted my spirits. Hopefully the good team will show up to the Chick-Fil-A Bowl with something to prove and next year will be bright.

LuvzAznChix said...

And THERE'S the 2nd pick on LT as that erases ANY and ALL progress he's made since the earlier game against Clemson. It's gonna be a HARD struggle for him to come back from this and develope again.

LuvzAznChix said...

JoeHokie, you called it again, sir. CFB: "We prepare for each team the same. We prepare for Clemson the SAME way we prep for Duke, the SAME we prep for Miami."

LuvzAznChix said...

"If we have an injury free season."

When has THAT EVER happened??? I'll tell you. NEVER. If we get a team from the SEC for our bowl I EXPECT ANOTHER 11-3 season. It absolutely doesn't look like we will get to 12 games this season.

Things CFB has FAILED TO ACHIEVE DURING HIS TENURE AT TECH:
-Win a National Championship
-Have a winning postseason (bowl) record
-Have a player win the Heisman
-Have a win over a #1 or #2 ranked team
-Have winning or .500 record against Top 10 ranked teams

LuvzAznChix said...

12-19 against Clemson all-time. Now I may have to hear all the shit from my fam (cousin's and uncle, maybe aunt). Another NATIONAL EMBARASSMENT-EXPOSURE-EPIC FAIL on TV for the Va. Tech football program.

Bright spots for tonight:
-We weren't shutout from the endzone (save for the ENTIRE 2nd half).
-Coles had a good game.
-Davis had a good game.
-Mostly great punting from Danny "Ninja" Coale.
-Some decent KRs from Tony Gregory (a lot of which were nullified by TERRIBLE composoure on the blockers, a DIRECT reflection on CFB). But that's about it.

We STILL have a chance (albeit in my opinion SLIM) to win 12 games this season. But, after tonight I expect them to play uninspired in the Shit-Filet Toilet Bowl against an ANGRY and physical SEC team.

Hokies_All_Day said...

Need a coaching staff change. We need to show recruits out there that we are going to do what it takes to win. Change personel and save my liver. I drink way too much watching these games. CFB has run his course I am afraid and VT is losing respect from the BCS. Loyalty is great however it is starting to hurt us real bad.

LuvzAznChix said...

Hokies_all_day, what do you mean "starting?" You might wanna reassess. Lol

Hokies_All_Day said...

Sorry LAC it is the Jack Daniels talking.
