VT vs. UNC–Time to Get Going
Posted on 5 Oct 2012 by Frank Sullivan.
The 3-2 VT Hokies find themselves on the verge of not winning ten games in a season. They find themselves on the outside of the BCS picture, looking in. Losing to Pitt and Cincy, beating Georgia Tech and two cupcakes, all the while trying to develop an identity has taken it's toll on the Hokies BCS chances this season. As they prepare to travel to UNC this Saturday, the number one go...

Virginia Tech Recap
Posted on 2 Oct 2012 by Frank Sullivan.
My apologies for my absence this last week+, but I'm back just in time as the Hokies gear up for their ACC slate. After losing in the final seconds to Cincinnati Saturday there are more questions than answers in Blacksburg right now. What started out so promising now has the look of a season that could slip away from Frank Beamer and his coaching staff. The last-second 27-24 loss at FedE...

VT vs. Bowling Green—Down, sure, but not out
Posted on 21 Sep 2012 by Frank Sullivan.
“No intensity. No passion. Inconsistent effort. Lack of communication. Just everything,” said Virginia Tech defensive coordinator Bud Foster on Tuesday following the Hokies 35-17 loss at Pittsburgh. “Those were kind of, going into the game, our keys to success. We need to be more physical. We got pushed around. We had inconsistent efforts and that’s not who we are.” Virginia Tech ...

VT vs. Pitt—That Escalated Quickly
Posted on 17 Sep 2012 by Frank Sullivan.
As soon as the score went final, a 35-17 Pitt win, I couldn't help but chuckle. I had predicted the correct final score in a Virginia Tech game, history had been made…too bad I got it backwards. Pitt looked like a completely different team than the Panthers we saw lose in weeks one and two. They dominated the point of attack all game long, ran the ball down the Hokie's throats, and ...

VT vs. Pitt—Rivalry Renewed
Posted on 13 Sep 2012 by Frank Sullivan.
Saturday at Heinz Field in Pittsburgh will feel like a throwback Big East match-up. The Hokies and Pittsburgh Panthers once played each other annually from 1993-2003(the Hokies lead the all-time series 7-4; Pitt has won the last 3 meetings, most recently in 2003, some kid named Larry caught 3 TD’s). That was back when both teams still called the Big East home. Today, the Hokies and Fran...

VT vs. Austin Peay—The Return of Beamer Ball
Posted on 10 Sep 2012 by Frank Sullivan.
Virginia Tech Football was once synonymous with great special teams play. Back before Frank Beamer was able to lure top-flight recruits to Blacksburg he coached the most feared special teams unit(s) in College Football. Blocked punts and field goals would turn games, perfectly executed kick returns would create scoring opportunities, and hard hits would make opposing returners think before...

VA Tech vs. Austin Peay—Recover & Refocus
Posted on 6 Sep 2012 by Frank Sullivan.
After narrowly escaping their home opener against Georgia Tech on Monday night 20-17 in OT, Virginia Tech will play their second game of the season only five days later. This should be reminiscent to most Hokie fans, the team had the same schedule in 2010 when they fell to Boise State on the Monday night opener, then followed that up with a loss to FCS school and I-81 neighbor, James Madiso...

Virginia Tech vs. Georgia Tech—And the Coastal Div goes to…
Posted on 4 Sep 2012 by Frank Sullivan.
What a great weekend for college football. We had power teams flexing their muscles for all to see, rivals clashing across the country, a few upsets, and a few let downs; but the game between ACC Coastal Division rivals Virginia Tech and Georgia Tech may have been the most important game of the weekend. The VT vs. GT game has decided the winner of the Coastal Division for the past seven years...

Virginia Tech vs. Georgia Tech—And so it begins…
Posted on 27 Aug 2012 by Frank Sullivan.
The Virginia Tech Hokies are set to begin their 2012 season. I repeat, College Football is set and ready to being this week… Prepare yourself. After an off season mired by an unprecedented scandal, odd coaching changes, player turnover and further rule violations across the country, it'll be nice to just get back to playing some football. And what a season it should be. The ACC is wid...

Wizards Update: Murky Outlook
Posted on 11 Jul 2012 by Frank Sullivan.
The Washington Wizards are rebuilding, or so we've been told for the last three years. Gone are the days of Gilbert calling his shots, Tough Juice finishing hard in the paint, and The Captain flipping shots under, around and over unsuspecting defenders. Gone are the calming yet sometimes consternating coaching styles of Eddie Jordan and Flip Saunders, and the franchise's longtime beloved ow...

Wizards Update: Grunfeld Re-signed
Posted on 24 Apr 2012 by Frank Sullivan.
A report came in late last night that the Wizards had in fact resigned their GM of ten seasons, Ernie Grunfeld. No official announcement has been made but sources have reported that Wizards owner Ted Leonsis has agreed with the recent moves made by Grunfeld and wanted to give Ernie more time at the helm. Ernie may not deserve a second chance, but the team might be on the right track. All in a...

Wizards Update: Closing Strong, 20 Wins
Posted on 23 Apr 2012 by Frank Sullivan.
Don't look now but the Wizards are playing their best basketball of the season. At a time when most teams have either begun tapering for the playoffs or shut their season down for draft position, the Wiz have done the opposite. Winners of five of their last seven games the Wiz have started to gel together and, at times, have resembled a professional basketball team. For those of you who we...
