VT vs. FSU— Too Little, too Late
Posted on 7 Nov 2012 by Frank Sullivan.
When #8 Florida State steps foot in Lane Stadium Thursday night they'll have their hands full. The Thursday night crowd in Blacksburg is highly regarded as one of the most hostile in the country; some of the best ACC games in recent memory have been played in this setting. Sadly, what looked to be a great late-season match up between ACC heavyweights in the preseason has morphed into a good...

VT vs. Miami: Division Up For Grabs
Posted on 1 Nov 2012 by Frank Sullivan.
After such a tumultuous first eight games of the season who would've thought that the Virginia Tech Hokies (4-4, 2-2 in the ACC) would still be in position to make a run at the ACC Championship game? Furthermore, the Canes from Miami (4-4, 3-2 in the ACC) have had just as, if not more of a rocky first eight games of 2012. Both teams have lost games they should have won, both have won close...

VT vs. Clemson—Just Not Good Enough
Posted on 22 Oct 2012 by Frank Sullivan.
After another loss, this time a 38-17 mistake-filled slug fest at Clemson, the 4-4 Virginia Tech Hokies find themselves in a unique position. Yes, they're having one of those seasons that the fans, coaching staff, and players will all hope to forget as soon as possible, but somehow there is still hope. Hope to make it to yet another ACC Championship game, hope that this team has yet to reac...

VT vs. Clemson—We Meet Again
Posted on 19 Oct 2012 by Frank Sullivan.
Payback is the key word for the Hokies this week. Payback for two games lost last season, the Hokies only losses before the bowl game. Payback for two second halves where the Hokies were outscored 41-0. Payback for a lost chance at another ACC championship. And during an up-and-down season for Virginia Tech, a chance at payback, a little redemption will go a long way. #14 Clemson (5-1, 2-...

VT vs. Duke—Needed That One
Posted on 15 Oct 2012 by Frank Sullivan.
Eleven minutes into the game it all looked over for the Hokies. The 2012 season, which started with a promising OT win over rival Georgia Tech, had started to tumble out of control with losses to Pitt, Cincy, and just last week a beat down at the hands of UNC. With Duke coming into Blacksburg, the Hokies and their fans knew how important the game was. VT needed a win, not just to get ov...

VT vs. Duke—Where Do We Go From Here?
Posted on 11 Oct 2012 by Frank Sullivan.
Two things happened last Saturday in the ACC that jumped out as unusual. First, the Hokies went to Chapel Hill, NC and got rolled up and kicked out of town to the tune of a 48-34 final score. It was the type of performance that some Hokies fans expected, given the teams problems leading up to the game. Then I came to find that Duke, the Virginia Tech's next opponent, blasted fellow ACC c...

VT vs. UNC—Wake Up Call
Posted on 8 Oct 2012 by Frank Sullivan.
On a Saturday the BCS championship landscape drastically changed, and per-usual the ACC continued to take hits. With FSU losing at N.C. State, Miami losing to Notre Dame, and VT falling at the hands of UNC, it'll be a wide-open race to the ACC championship game from here on. Football is a win-now, what have you done for me lately business. So what if Orange Bowls and ten-win seasons are s...

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...
