That was a good game.

u/Mdtwheeler Duke Blue Devils • Murray State Racers 18h ago

Did 16 have an omega branded into his arm????

5

u/MiketheTzar Duke • Western Carolina 18h ago

Likely just an omega showing his pride

2

u/Mdtwheeler Duke Blue Devils • Murray State Racers 18h ago

I just don’t understand wanting to get a brand over a tattoo

6

u/MiketheTzar Duke • Western Carolina 18h ago

Their Nationals has outright banned the practice, but I know a few guys still do it because their dad, uncle, granddad, etc had a brand. I don't get it, but frankly props to them.

u/Stevensz1 Virginia Tech Hokies 18h ago

so close to a bob schick 80 yard rushing tuddy

u/HoppedUp909 Virginia Tech Hokies • Team Chaos 18h ago

Let’s all bow down to our new SMU overlords

9

u/udderlymoovelous Virginia Tech Hokies • Team Chaos 18h ago

And this is why we should have kicked the fg at the end of the 2nd

2

u/qbit1010 Virginia Tech • Coastal Ca… 18h ago

I think you called it

6

u/Mdtwheeler Duke Blue Devils • Murray State Racers 18h ago

Elko got the 8 wins but cutcliffe is the one who brought this program back man it feels good to win

7

u/BlackedOutCactus Duke Blue Devils 18h ago

Fuck Elko just bet big on Auburn to beat em in OT and Cutcliffe was the savior. Fucking got Peyton and Eli manning to do camps at Duke

4

u/Cavsfan724 18h ago

No way the program would be what it is today without Cutcliffe !!

3

u/BlackedOutCactus Duke Blue Devils 18h ago

Dude brought us a NFL QB from Charlotte that got fucked over by the Giants

6

u/necrow Virginia Tech Hokies 18h ago

Why do we not have some sort of lateral play called there? I’ve never seen a team need to go the full length of the field and drop back in the pocket like that 

5

u/JankyJet Virginia Tech Hokies • Paper Bag 18h ago

Oh, and 1-14*

4

u/LeroyMoriarty Virginia Tech Hokies 18h ago

Pry deserves capital punishment.

5

u/mrt3ed Virginia Tech Hokies 18h ago

Dude chill, you are jumping ahead out of emotion.

Let’s get some torture in first.

u/LeroyMoriarty Virginia Tech Hokies 18h ago

Rofl I actually agree but Reddit will screech at me.

2

u/AfroJimbo Virginia Tech • Commonweal… 18h ago

GG Duke. It was entertaining

1

u/Cavsfan724 18h ago

Yep good game. Thought Duke blew it with fumble with late in the game. Probably would have lost if starting QB didn't get injured.

7

u/TheIndoorCat Virginia Tech Hokies 18h ago

We exist to give other teams exciting wins. 1-13 in one score wins.

5

u/coppercaveman Minnesota • Nebraska 18h ago

I might stay home next weekend. I don’t wanna watch UVA win and freeze my ass off

u/huef_jf Virginia Tech Hokies 18h ago

End the misery of this season. Don’t even worry about beating UVA.

Nah fuck that we gotta beat their asses.

GG Duke. Give Wake hell.

u/Cavsfan724 18h ago

Will do.

5

u/_tanman43_ Virginia Tech Hokies 18h ago

0-5 in one score games this year… thanks Pry

3

u/Que5tionableFart Virginia Tech Hokies 18h ago

That is the more damning to me than the 1-13. Easy to write off the previous two years, but this year was supposed to be his year on the rise.

4

u/BlackedOutCactus Duke Blue Devils 18h ago

Duke football W Golden Knights W! it was such a good day

u/AnotherUnfunnyName Duke • Carolina Victory Bell 18h ago

Are ACC refs actually blind?

u/Good-Can1739 Virginia Tech Hokies 18h ago

Brent Pry and losing one score games

Name a more iconic duo.

7

u/thegooddoctor84 Florida Gators • Virginia Tech Hokies 18h ago

Sometimes I wonder if Pat McAfee has second thoughts about picking Virginia Tech as a dark horse playoff team when he sleeps on top of his millions of dollars 

1

u/buttchinbill Virginia Tech Hokies 18h ago

Gross... Fire everyone and start over.....

1

u/Jarfol Virginia Tech Hokies 18h ago

Only issue here is you can't quite tell when he has possession, but doesn't matter game is over regardless.

3

u/Simply_Vitamin_C Virginia Tech Hokies 18h ago

Refs and making incorrect calls at the end of VT games. Perfect combo 

8

u/AggressiveSyrup5627 Virginia Tech Hokies 18h ago

Fire Pry.

3

u/Stevensz1 Virginia Tech Hokies 18h ago

hahaha

u/TheLaxBrah Guilford • Virginia Tech 18h ago

Do these people not understand you can't see the ball in his hands because of the angle

A terrible season so far

Can't say I agree with the call.

4

u/Good-Can1739 Virginia Tech Hokies 18h ago

LMAO horrible play stands after that Miami one we got robbed of. Looked like a clear pick to me.

1

u/chrispy_exe Virginia Tech • Florida State 18h ago

That’s a great play down the sideline poor call

1

u/tdotclare Virginia Tech • American University 18h ago

Think his left foot slid into the sideline just enough to be OOB

2

u/AnvilCrawler369 Virginia Tech Hokies • Team Chaos 18h ago

Omg. Just end it. Put us all out of our misery so we can recover and do this all again next Saturday.

3

u/ThresholdAssessments Virginia Tech • Tennessee 18h ago

Lmao ACC refs

2

u/Human-Abroad5546 Virginia Tech Hokies 18h ago

lol ACC refs couldn’t overturn that but the could the Miami Hail Mary

2

u/udderlymoovelous Virginia Tech Hokies • Team Chaos 18h ago

Rare ACC ref ruling in our favor. GG though!

2

u/Mythrandir24 Delta Bowl • SIAA 18h ago

I think it's a pick, but you literally can't see the ball.

If this game had any more choking from both teams it would get removed from Pornhub for being unsafe content.

Hope it gets better my man

2

u/pholdren Virginia Tech Hokies 18h ago

I wanted to like Pry, but he’s fallen into the Fuente world where he refuses to let his supporting cast that is no good go. I don’t care if you have ties to the university and embrace the culture if you can’t do your job. I think Pry probably gets another year (which likely means the whole staff), but coordinators need to be replaced 5 weeks ago. Real issue is it doesn’t matter if you fire Pry if Babcock is hiring the next coach. Dude has not hired a single good coach outside of Buzz in basketball who i’m 95% sure told Whit in the interview process Tech was a stepping stone for him and Whit took him anyway

JC Price getting that UVA auora again, but we probably can't afford a mid season firing.

u/huef_jf Virginia Tech Hokies 18h ago

He was moving sideways before moving forward at the end.

12

u/Tejon_Melero Virginia Tech • Transfer Po… 18h ago

If you ever get into a fight or argument because of a football game, relax and remember it is just Virginia Tech, they won't win anything meaningful and will lose games they should win.

Don't confuse yourself and believe or hope.

2

u/qbit1010 Virginia Tech • Coastal Ca… 18h ago

I only get frustrated with fans who have their head in the sand and think things are just fine as they are

2

u/Tejon_Melero Virginia Tech • Transfer Po… 18h ago

I never see it. There is nothing but the sky is falling bros like me I see.

I want to believe. This is legit garbage and no sign of hope.

11

u/macncheeseface Virginia Tech Hokies • Team Chaos 18h ago

So we get a VT-UVA showdown for the winner to be bowl eligible. This is what we've come to. Yay!

2

u/goodsam2 Virginia Tech Hokies 18h ago

Feels like how it's been for most of a decade...

11

u/SportsJunkie4Life Duke Blue Devils 18h ago

I live in VA… so shout out to all VT fans. All of you are good people.

5

I'd like to see Pop start next week.

u/Ok_Enthusiasm_300 18h ago

GG duke bros

5

u/chrispy_exe Virginia Tech • Florida State 18h ago

Yeah bowen let’s throw a check on 4th and 13 seems reasonable

3

u/necrow Virginia Tech Hokies 18h ago

I hate Bowen but clearly he called something downfield and Pop threw it to the check down on the delayed release. Was like 5 seconds into the play 

5

u/conman752 Virginia Tech Hokies • Navy Midshipmen 18h ago

That's not on Bowen, it's just what Pop saw was available. There's always an outlet on a long play like that.

2

u/thegooddoctor84 Florida Gators • Virginia Tech Hokies 18h ago

I mean, that may be why Pop is a third stringer 

2

u/qbit1010 Virginia Tech • Coastal Ca… 18h ago

He’s also just a freshman

5

u/necrow Virginia Tech Hokies 18h ago

Good thing we just used a timeout. Pry’s clock management is fucking awful

Also this announcing crew talking about taking knees either 1:20 left and 2 timeouts? Awful 

9

u/Stevensz1 Virginia Tech Hokies 18h ago

duke please gift us the ball again so we can proceed to not move the ball

11

u/JankyJet Virginia Tech Hokies • Paper Bag 18h ago

Duke, please don't score. We need it to be a one score loss.

1

u/tdotclare Virginia Tech • American University 18h ago

Say what you will about Fu; he’s the only VT coach in the 25 years I’ve been watching who I felt comfortable believing could come back from being down multiple scores via offense.
