Their number 5 ranking is a fucking travesty. They've had 4 tough games counting tonight and it appears that they'll be 1 and 3 in those games. Number 5 in the country? Get the fuck out of here.

Are you saying the game is over with ten minutes left in th 1st half?

[chf34jmac]

No...learn to read. I said "it appears that they'll be 1 and 3 in those games." Thanks for the update, though. I'd watch the game but I'm busy toe fucking my cat. It's more exciting.

Ewww!!!!

My co-worker's son just gave a verbal commitment to UVA to play for them in 2 years. I was very proud of him. Now I'm just hoping his grades hold up.

67 total yards of offense 6 minutes before halftime. Brilliant gameplan by Beamer.

[Red13JoePa]

Looks like KS and MO are the best teams in the country w/ the National title game being played 5 weeks ago.

Wow...that bad, huh?

[chf34jmac]

They need to turn these fucking piece of shit bowl games into playoffs and then have a true national championship game. I bet shitty teams like VT would've been bounced in the first round!

The shitty #5 Hokies? You aren't a disgruntled Canes fan are you?

[Uno_up]

17-6...here we go.
[edit] 17-7

[chf34jmac]

A canes fan from Pennsylvania - Yeah right! PSU beats these ass clowns hands down. BCS ranking system is a fucking joke and anyone with a half a brain knows that their rankings mean nothing.

[Saint John]

Does the Kansas coach have Domino's Pizza guys streaming into the locker room for his halftime snack yet? Isn't it Kansas that has the coach that looks like a Back Talk chick in drag?

Sorry, I should have said a disgruntled Alamo bowl fan.

[chf34jmac]

Uh we won our game last Saturday - Will you be able to say the same thing tomorrow?

[Uno_up]

yes...we will win. we are better. the boys are sleeping. fuck, zz top is playing.

[Red13JoePa]

Kansas has the coach that looks like a Back Talk chick in drag?

Bum Ba Da Bump!


I like Mangino but you and the BT jokes are just evergreen man.

[chf34jmac]

Only chance VT has of winning is if Kansas' whole team has a group heart attack in the second half.

[Uno_up]

Down 10 points. Jimmie Johnson says they have a chance...I'm a believer

[chf34jmac]

Of course Jimmy Johnson says they have a chance otherwise millions of TV's throughout the country get to channel changing. Jimmy's a company man and knows without viewers he's out of work. Duh! This one is over. Kansas shuts VT down completely in the second half.

[chf34jmac]

Yeah and the dick clark impersonator on VT side is getting some lucky calls

[Red13JoePa]

The Jayhawks will still prevail over Coach Goiter and the Hokies

I'm still trying to figure out what the hell a "Hokie" is! I've never met anyone who attended Virginia Tech who can even tell me what it is! Shouldn't that be part of freshman orientation

from wikipedia:

The HokieBird is the official mascot of Virginia Tech. It is turkey-like bird that closely resembles a "maroon cardinal with a snood."[citation needed]

[edit] Gobblers
Virginia Tech's first mascot/nickname was the "Gobblers". The origin of the "Gobblers" moniker is found in the early history of Virginia Tech when it was a military college known as the Virginia Agricultural & Mechanical College (VAMC). As future military officers and gentlemen, cadets were not allowed to look at their plates as they ate. To do so was termed "gobbling" your food and was a cause for punishment. Athletes were given increased portions of food and in consideration of the limited meal time, were allowed to "gobble" their meals. Because of this, the sports teams for VAMC became renowned as "The Fighting Gobblers".

The name was popular when Floyd "Hard Times" Meade, a local resident, had a large turkey pull a decorated cart before football games. Meade paraded the mascot around the stadium during the game, and even trained it to gobble on command. This tradition continued after another "turkey trainer" took over in 1924.[citation needed]

Fans and sports writers adopted the "Gobbler" nickname and began to use it to describe the team. In 1936, a costumed Gobbler joined the live gobbler for at least one game. The use of a live turkey mascot continued well into the 1950s, and the first permanent costumed Gobbler took the field in the fall of 1962. The gobbling tradition continues today as a recording of a turkey gobble is played during football games to the excitement of the crowd.


[edit] Hokies and HokieBird
However, "Gobbler" nickname was not to last, at least not as the official nickname/mascot.

In the late 1970s, the university hired a new football coach who heard that the Gobbler mascot was based on athletes gobbling their food down, so he began promoting the "Hokie" nickname and even removed the gobbler from the scoreboard. Coach Frank Beamer had it reinstalled.

In 1982, the appearance of the Gobbler mascot costume was changed to one that looked like a maroon turkey with an orange beak. People started to call it the "the Hokie mascot," "the Hokie," and "the HokieBird."

The costume worn by today's HokieBird made its first appearance in 1987. The HokieBird has won national mascot competitions and has been so popular that the mascot landed an appearance on Animal Planet's "Turkey Secrets," shown annually around Thanksgiving.

Now, when referring to Virginia Tech, the term "Hokie" generally refers to a Virginia Tech Student.

That's an absolute classic. A definition that says absolutely nothing, and defines a fictitous, made up, bird! Funny shit! Thanks for the humor!

Like I said last night...1 and 3 versus good teams. Hardly a top 10 team. Somewhere between 15 and 20 is a bit more accurate.
