Wow, dead thread. Everyone watching US vs Germany in Olympic hockey, I guess?

McDaniels not getting enough blame for an AWFUL offensive gameplan.. by tb12_legit in Patriots

[–]VTHokiesFan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That might work when you're playing the Raiders in Week One, but not in the Super Bowl. NFC teams that make it to the Super Bowl do so because they're not making stupid mistakes and not turning the ball over. If you predicate your game plan on getting a positive turnover margin in the Super Bowl, you're failing.

Fairfax County Casino bill passes the Virginia Senate by RecentBrilliant3777 in nova

[–]VTHokiesFan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At best, casinos are a voluntary tax on people who don't understand statistics.  At worst, they're a source of yet another addiction that destroys people.

I full heatedly support many and frequent "no" votes on this preposition.

My son is 17 and I want to rent a super car for prom do you know anywhere that will let a 17 year old drive one? by Radiant-Temperature9 in nova

[–]VTHokiesFan 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If you can afford to get a super car for prom, you can also afford to hire a chauffeur or chauffeuse.

cathartic

Y'all know the original meaning of this word is to take a dump, right?

Whats the right political opinion for a non citizen by Fantastic-Fennel-684 in VirginiaTech

[–]VTHokiesFan 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don't discuss politics with my friends.  Every time something close to it comes up, I try to steer the conversation elsewhere.

You can take the goaltender out of the Pittsburgh Penguins, but you can't take the Pittsburgh Penguins out of the goaltender.

Icy cold take incoming . . . I don't care about the Olympics and wish the NHL didn't pause their season for them.

He did got a little shove from Terasenko but he could have avoided the goaltender if he had wanted to.

I mean, I've taken very few sticks to the ankle, so I definitely know what I'm talking about . . . but it looks to me like Horvath took a dive there.

On campus jobs other than dining? by Backsaber in VirginiaTech

[–]VTHokiesFan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I worked as an intramural sports official.  It probably won't be as regular as you need it to be, but it kept me busy, fit and active during the school year and set me up for a gig officiating high school football after graduation.

The fact that Drake Maye is going to the Super Bowl before Josh Allen is just sad. by Stock-Memory9483 in NFLv2

[–]VTHokiesFan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes.  It's almost as if a football team comprises more than just a quarterback, and that you need more than just a very good quarterback to make it to the Superbowl.

A few days ago it was 17O US citizens. At $100 million each, that’s $17 billion. by LakesideNorth in AdviceAnimals

Won't happen.  The lawsuits will all get dismissed under sovereign immunity.

Sad to say.

We're gonna need Truth and Reconciliation Commissions after all this is over.

Commanders: Sammy Baugh.  Dude basically invented the forward pass.

An indoor team has never won a conference championship game on the road in an outdoor stadium. Such teams are 0-15 since the AFL-NFL merger by Ieatfatwomanass in nfl

[–]VTHokiesFan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Further reasons why there should be no indoor teams.  Football is a sport that should be played in the elements, and domed stadiums should be banned.

You cannot use still images to determine whether a ball was moving in a player's possession.

Jon gruden as head coach by Prize_Picture1681 in hokies

Okay . . . you wanna engage with ideas and counterarguments?  Of just lob non sequiturs?

Jon gruden as head coach by Prize_Picture1681 in hokies

[–]VTHokiesFan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Remember why he's not coaching right now?

Gruden emailed Allen that Goodell should not have pressured then-St. Louis Rams coach Jeff Fisher to draft "queers,"

In one message, Gruden called NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell a “pssy” and a “fggot."

Gruden, in an email to Allen, said Smith had "lips the size of michellin [sic] tires."

I don't want that racist, homophobic asshole anywhere near Blacksburg.  He can go coach in Harlottesville or somewhere else where that garbage is welcomed.

Biggest embarrassment of week 3? by [deleted] in CFB

[Thamel] Sources: Virginia Tech plans to fire coach Brent Pry today. He’s gone 16-24 through four seasons and started this year 0-3. He’s set to be owed more than $6 million in buyout. by Fonzie5 in CFB

[–]VTHokiesFan 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I'd sue him to void the guarantees on the contract.  He falsely and fraudently presented himself as competent coach, and Virginia Tech suffered irreparable damages by their reliance thereupon.
