I would LOVE to see Marshall get their butt kicked. They havent been half as good since Leftwich.

Marshall hasn't put up the numbers they did when Leftwich was there, however, they still beat a pretty good Kansas State team at Manhatten Kansas last year and it seems they've been playing tougher non-conference schedules with more success then when Leftwich was there.

Bottom Line...........BEAT OHIO STATE HERD!!!!!

GO BLUE!!!!

I'm sad the game is at Autzen... we also play ASU at "home" so I don't have any Duck games in Arizona this year. No USC and playing UCLA at home too. My closest game is Sept. 18th in Norman, OK!!
the game's not on the TV schedule yet but if it does make it, the UA alumni club meets at the fox sports grill on scottsdale to watch the game. there's always room for a friendly wager

Hmmm. The Duck Alumni Club meets at Duke's in Scottsdale, they can pick up the Oregon Sports Network, so we get all the games. I'm on the Board. We may have to arrange a joint Game Watch party. NOW, we are lucky to get 45 people... and there is like 900 million Wildcats here... but I'm sure we could work something out. Last year your Alumni Prez helped get us a bus to go down to UA for the game. It was fun. Love El Chorro's guacamole!

It is official as of 1201 am today The hokies are a member of the ACC. there was a huge story on the news last night about Walmart either in Christiansburg or Roanoke having a ACC celebration party at 1201 this morning to start selling ACC merchandise.

I went to wal-mart in Salem this evening and the mens clothing section looked like a bomb exploded where the college gear is at. Everything that had ACC on it and a VT logo was gone.

My wife and myself are going to Meadows of Dan Sunday for a cookout and we will stop by C-burg on the way home and see if they have anything left up there. I think we are finally going to take a tour of Chateau Morristte as well to give us something else to do. Everyone have a safe 4th and I will be looking for PH plates in and around Floyd County lol

I've always been an Irish supporter myself although the last few years haven't been too kind. Hopefully things will get better.

Yes, the Dawgs are ranked anywhere from #1 to #3, depending on the poll.
I am a little concerned about this year's schedule... too tough a schedule. Everybody's worried about LSU and UT,
we need to worry about Marshall. Marshall went to Kansas ST, beat them and they were the Big 10 champions!
We "have the talent" and coaching, but just "too tough a schedule".
IF we had some off weeks or lesser competition, but the SEC is hell week in and week out.
I hate the back to back to back with Marshall, LSU and UT.
I don't like that we don't have an off weekend before or after UF.
We have better talent than in 2002 and if anybody can get these guys to push it to their limits which
it's going to take, it's Coach Richt.
I just hope the fans will realize that and not call for heads if it doesn't go as we expect.

So how do I really feel....LOL

GO DAWGS!

Hokie fans might not want to read this, just put the words to the Cat's in The Cradle, this got sent to me tonight by someone on the West Virginia board.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Vick's in the Cradle

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A child arrived just the other day,
He arrived on campus in an Escalade.
But there were cops to bribe, and bonds to pay.
He claimed his stake while I was away.
And he was talking 'fore I knew it, and as he grew,
He'd say, "I'm gonna be like Mike, Coach.
You know I'm gonna win for you."

And Lil' Vick's in the program with a silver spoon,
Hasn't played a down and is handed the moon.
"When am I starting, Coach?" "I don't know when,
But we'll get you in somehow.
You know we'll have a good time then."

Off came the redshirt just the other day.
He said, "Thanks for the ball, Coach, come on let's play.
Can you teach me to throw?" I said, "Not today,
Bryan's doing pretty good." He said, "That's ok."
And he walked away, but his smile never dimmed,
Said, "I'm way better than him, yeah.
You know I'm better than him."

And Lil' Vick hits the ganja like a rasta goon,
Gets his ride shot up 'side The Boom Boom Room.
"What you gonna do, Coach?" "I don't know son,
but we'll say you dropped a class.
You'll only have to miss game one."

Well, we finished the season the other day,
We have 2 QBs but only one can play,
"Son, Bryan's a Senior. Can you sit a while?"
He shook his head, and he said with a smile,
"What I'd really like, Coach, is to smoke more weed.
See you later. I'm gonna go do the deed."

And Lil' Vick's in the bedroom with the pre-teen poon,
For the girl, he bought a fifth and a balloon..
"What you gonna do, Coach?" "I don't know son,
But we'll let this play out.
Was there even field turf on this one?"

The case went to trial and Lil' Vick has to pay.
I called him up just the other day.

I said, "Jim's gonna cover for you, stay clean son."
He said, "I'd love to, Coach, but I just bought this dime.

You see, school work is a hassle, and my bro's got the brew,
But it's sure nice talking to you, Coach.
It's been sure nice talking to you."

And as I hung up the phone, it occurred to me,
Time to recruit a QB.
We're gonna need another QB.

And the pot's in the Caddie with system goin' boom,
Lil' Vick speedin' and screamin' "Vroom! Vroom!"
"What you gonna do, Coach?" "I don't know son,
Maybe I should retire soon?.
You know you'll have a good time then."

I'll bump it up by saying... not me. Sorry.

I did see that ESPN is doing a big weekend at MGM Grand and it has my College Game Day boys!!! I am seriously considering popping in the old Pathfinder and heading over for that weekend. Getting out of this heat would be good.

They are doing a "Preview of College Footabll 2004" -- so I don't know if it will be live or a taped show... but it is the weekend of July 31/Aug 1st.

Here's the link:

hey Dr. Corona,

Not as easy to say that since we have gotten rid of Cooper. Tressel will not be your whipping boy like Coop was. New era now in Buckeye land.

We're ready for the challenge B4E!

I respect Tressel and what he's done at OSU (You'd be ignorant to not respect someone with a NCAA title in his pocket), but I'm hoping he's used up all his luck the past 2 seasons considering all the 3 point wins and last second victories he's achieved.

Having said that, I'm not stupid! I know OSU gets as much talent as Michigan does year after year so I'm expecting a dogfight year after year............but hopefully we'll go into the snakepit this year and even the series with Tressel and start making him sweat like Coop did !!
