🏈 Va Tech

Boise's big win doesnt look all that big now. Something is very wrong in Beamerland.

Who is James Madison? How embarrassing!

 

[rammajamma]

Wasn't he married to Dolly Madison?

You know father of the U.S. Constitution, author of Federalist Papers, the 4th U.S. President, etc. LOL seriously, I have no idea about them either. I'm guessing it's in Virgina somewhere.

legendary defensive end Charles Haley played at James Madison. thats all I can tell ya.

I think that Va Tech went "all in" on the Boise game and when they lost, they crapped out. It could a season for them like our 2000 season was after such a promising 1999.

Virginia Tech had an opportunity to damage Boise State's national championship aspirations. In losing to James Madison, they did just that.

At this rate, Virginia Tech won't even make it to the Rold Gold Pretzel bowl!

Great point by Bill King on Rivals Radio this morning: Va Tech is still undefeated in the ACC, and every teams' goal is to win it's conference. Is there anyone in the ACC right now that you would feel comfortable crowing the champion of that conference yet? Embarrassing to the ego for Va Tech, but JMU does win a lot of games it plays, and I think they've won their version of the National Championship recently.

IIRC, the people on tv said that JMU was an hour or 2 from blacksburg

Except losing to Southern Miss is no where near as embarrassing as losing to James Madison

Bingo. The comparison is Meechegan losing to Appy State.

So far, to me, Frank Beamer has been a great teacher of football fundamentals. Now, he gets his chance to prove he's a rebuilder as well. His efforts to get this program to where it has been, from where it was, are remarkable, especially considering his recruiting classes will never be, and have never been, like bama, texas, florida, etc. But, now, he has to deal with a team that had high expectations, and is now an afterthought.

they can still win the ACC...

Yeah that "big win" doesn't look like much now.

I said the other day that even though VaTech should have beaten Boise IMHO, VaTech is still becoming that team. They're still looking more and more like that overrated program that has passed its' prime. In my opinion, VaTech is in slow, gradual decline.

The entire ACC is becoming everyone else's warm-up game.

Duder, my reference was to us having won the SEC in 1999 and had a lofty preseason ranking going into 2000. We lost at UCLA and the wheels fell off to a 3-8 season. No mentioning of Southern Miss needed. 3-8 is all that is to be said. Va. Tech could be seeing a meltdown like that if things don't get resolved quickly.

Their conference schedule begins this week when they host Boston College. Now, BC has all the more motivation to beat VT, as they do not want to lose to a team that lost to James Madison!
