ill be honest and say

I have no idea how this game is going to play out

by jmpecker on Jan 3, 2012 7:47 PM EST reply actions  

this game could go either way.

LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOO

I have an oddly good feeling about this one. With all the negativity about our team and chances leading up to the game it just feels right.

hoping to see a whole lot of david wilson

as long with shoelaces throwing it to hosley

by jmpecker on Jan 3, 2012 8:09 PM EST reply actions  

I think they’re going to focus so much on Wilson we’ll be able to spread it out, I’m hoping. I’m with you on the second part though.

I like how Desmond Howard said he was worried about this matchup until...

He saw Tech play in the ACCCG…which was before the matchup was determined…interesting.

loving the new center for Michigan

He’ll calm down eventually.. but good to get a 3 and out

we def got a break with him out

but honestly robinson could of caught both of those snaps

ABSOLUTELY!

We try to feed David TD’s instead of letting them happen naturally. If they don’t happen they don’t happen. We shouldn’t give up points to try and give our star player more TD’s.

Was about to rant about tackling, then Kyle Fuller.. what a way to get his hands on the ball.

Ugh oh!

Hope they don’t review that. It was bobbling around in there and not sure he had it completely still to the ground. BUT, may not be enough to overturn it if they do,

Ish

You guys were the better team and were def the best team in the nation that year. So I’m not upset that we lost to the best team in the nation. But we had you at the best possible time, the first game of the season. We were up for a while…and we couldn’t hold on and lost. But again, we had to temper that disappointment because Bama was the best team in the land.

Hey guys... I'm a fan of an NFL team and just casually watching this bowl game

I have no ties to college football or your team…

That was a touchdown. The officials screwed you guys tonight.

Absolute. Total. Joke. Everyone in the stadium and watching on TV knew it was a touchdown except for that four-eyed hillbilly ref. What a screw job.

Wow. What a screw Jon

That replay official is a fucking cheat. I can’t believe they overturned that beautiful catch. Just wow.

by loa777 on Jan 4, 2012 12:09 AM EST reply actions  

can't wait to hear beamer say... ' we didn't execute' on that fake punt.

we showed up and played hard, didn’t get some breaks. Looking forward to Logan Thomas kick ass next year and the D to take a big step forward. That is if Foster doesn’t bolt.

was pulling for you guys

hey the refs dont only screw fsu i guess…anyway 2012 will be the year I think we both finally get it done

by reid-the-manuel on Jan 4, 2012 12:11 AM EST reply actions  

Robbery.

I know how we’ll finally win it all next year. Every time the opposing team scores a touchdown, we’ll have the refs say it wasn’t! Replays are supposed to be completely conclusive. Hokies had THREE called completions overturned. Bullshit game.

by Frozen Fan on Jan 4, 2012 12:17 AM EST reply actions  

We should have won that game by two scores....

We blew so many opportunities even though special teams sucked overall. That fake punt debacle was embarrassing but I guess the story was poor red zone execution that let them take the lead and extend the game until the ref could decide the game in ot.

by loa777 on Jan 4, 2012 12:17 AM EST reply actions  

game should have been a blowout

the way our D played if the O showed up it wouldn’t have even been close. still most ridiculous game of bad breaks i have ever seen

At least we look forward....

Bothers me as to how much that false start hurt

And the fake punt was just a bad idea. LT for 1 or try to get danny cole for 13? doesnt make sense….

by StLHokie on Jan 4, 2012 12:35 AM EST reply actions  

I wake up and I’m still pissed about the running play two plays before the botched fake punt. He had a first down, that never should have been blown dead while he was still running.

Thanks Vegas

Jobbed by the bookies & the BCS trying to “correct their mistake”..

Danny Coale should find that replay official & pull his colon out through his nose.

If the bowl system remains, I’m done with postseason CFB.

Balls on The Turf

If the ball touches the turf and moves it is going to be incomplete 100% of the time. This is not a new rule. VT dominated on D, but you also have to execute in the Red Zone and on Special Teams. Was that the “Beamer Ball” I had heard so much about?

by AnnArborHomer on Jan 4, 2012 11:03 AM EST reply actions  

Not Cool

Wow, way to make Wolverines look like tools with the Beamer Ball comment. Hokie fans, that was a very impressive team, your defense is legit.

Thank you, VT Seniors!

Congrats to Michigan.

Heartbreaking loss for VT, but not unexpected.

Shame

VT manhandled Michigan all night and should have won that game by 14 points or more. Leading up to that game, all the media would say is how outmatched VT was and how it was a poor matchup for VT. It was going to be the Denard Robinson Show. Well, VT outclassed and outmuscled Michigan and if not for an amazing string of good fortune and questionable officiating, Michigan would not have even been in the game. Instead, Michigan miraculously gets the win and gets to call themselves BCS champions, despite being completely dominated. What a shame. The story should be that VT exposed the media for fools.

by loa777 on Jan 4, 2012 1:28 PM EST reply actions  

Watch that catch a couple times, you can clearly see the ball move 90 degrees once it touches the ground. VT dominated the game, but couldn’t get it done in the red zone, mostly because of great red zone defense by Michigan. Michigan forced the turnover on the kickoff, had an athletic interception on Thomas. VT badly faked a punt and couldn’t get a conversion on 4th down. If your OC would have gave up on the run and just passed all night long – Michigan would have been destroyed. You guys were getting 8 YPA on passes, Michigan couldn’t handle your big tall WRs. Michigan did make some miraculous plays, but Denard has been doing that all season. Michigan lives and dies with Denard, most have accepted that. If you want to blame anyone, blame your own coaches for ignoring what was working in the first half and making terrible decisions.
