Duke 67, Virginia Tech 55: What They're Saying (Plus Bourbon Shots)

They let their emotions get the best of them. The way the Hokies played Sunday night they wouldn't have beaten Duquesne let alone Duke. They...
Bourbon Shots: Worilds and Hoops vs. Heels Edition
There's plenty going on around Virginia Tech in the early part of 2010. Just when we started dissecting the season that was, Jason Worilds announced he is heading to the NFL. That news came as a shock to most Hokie fans, but it's one we're going to have to live with. And before we could finish...

Of course it's better to win ugly than lose pretty, but the Hokies sure do have a lot of issues to address before getting back into conference play. Let's see, there's offensive efficiency, poor tackling and carelessness with the football (especially by kick returners). Yep, that's all three phases...
