NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

mother%^^## %&%% Virginia Tech > > >

I had money on Boston to pull off the win and I thought they would the whole first half, but nooo VT had to shut em out the 2nd half...

Now I'll never get revenge for the hokies beating Virginia >

Tech was fortunate to have come away with the win. The offense looked lethargic at best except for a few key plays. The D was stout as usual.

Orange Bowl bound baby!!

I was waiting to hear whether you got points taking BC in this thread --->http://www.bassresource.com/bass_fishing_forums/YaBB.pl?num=1196032828

;D I guess you were right...

but now The SEC game is going downhill too, Tennesse had the lead and were playing some awesome D...

But now LSU got the pick and scored again, dang Conference games aren't playing out the way I wanted them to...

Yep, Tennessee choked.....well, Ainge choked when he threw that pick. They were in great position to take the game into overtime. Oh well.

I'm hoping to see WV and Missouri both lose tonight.

wow man your pics were all dead-on, none of these stupid conference games went the way i wanted em to haha...

Mizzou got pounded, WVU blew it, my Vols lost, Tech pulled through...ugh, i hate football ;D

Virginia?

Really, Basspro48. Virginia and football?

Come on. Any team that gets all excieted about singing Ol Ainge Zyne (or however you spell it) when they finally score a TD can not be taken seriously.

Virginia has never been good in football and anyone who thought that UVA was going to defeat Tech just does not know football.

As for the BC game, Tech had a score to settle and they did just that. You can plan against players and routes but you can't plan against the heart and the Honkies had the heart to win that game.

cannot ever see UVA rising to the top of college football as they did back in the early 90s.  It is mainly because the UVA guys can read and write and speak the King's English.  UVA has high standards and they support their standards. And everyone has to be proud of how UVA operates its athletic department.  Good kids with no problems.

For UVA to do well in football they need some thugs from Richmond and the greater Tidewater area, which right now is ruled by Beamer and Tech. Unless Groh can get the thugs UVA will win 7 or 8 games a year, at the most, in the future and Tech will continue to challenge for the ACC football title.

Now, if we want to discuss basketball...............

What are you trying to say Sam?  ;D

Five,

What I am saying that those schools that you see in the Top 25 each week will lower their requirements to enter their school to get the fast and nasty guys to play for them.  You need the fast and nasty guys to win today.  And with all that money on the line schools will do what they have to do to get the players.

You have to be able to hit hard and take hard hits. And be nasty.  Tough and nasty.  Big, tough and nasty.  Big, tough, nasty and fast. Especially fast.  College is about speed. The NFL is even faster.

Sometimes to get those big, tough, nasty and fast kids you have to turn your head as to their behaviors and hope you can instill some sense of responsibility in most of them.  The vast majority will succeed.  But some, who have the talent to do very well in college and the NFL, will not respond.

Just look at what Alabama has done; Auburn on probation when they went undefeated; the young Vick guy at Tech; and there are so many others.

At LSU, Perrillioux, who is a great QB, should be in jail for actions this year. Or at least off the team. Penn State has two guys who got into a lot of trouble and are off the team. Penn State - where Papa Joe has always run a very good and clean program.

Remember those great Miami and Florida State teams?  Tough guys.  Majority did not graduate nor did they plan to graduate. They were playing for the NFL.

Ciecel Collins of LSU should now be playing in the NFL and on his way into the Hall of Fame. Sorry to say that Ciecel the Diesel is in jail due to his actions off the field.  A very sad story. The guy had the world in his hand and just could not control his actions.

Every now and then a highly rated academic school, like UVA, Stanford and Duke, will have good football teams.  But overall, since they have high academic standards, they cannot compete week after week or year after year with the kids they attract.

And can you see anyone turning down any of these three schools if you want a degree?  Man, a degree from any one of these three schools is worth a fortune.

Spurrier is very angry with the South Carolina administration as they would not lower their standards for Spurrier to have a great high school football player attend USC. It is so bad that Spurrier was seriously being considered as LSU's new head coach if Miles had left for Michigan.

Yes, there are a lot of great college players who do not get into trouble. But take it from me, there is a lot of stuff that is swept under the rug at all schools, expecially in the SEC and some teams in the ACC.

And how do I know?  I guess when you get to my age you have a lot of people who know what is occurring  at their colleges or at other schools and we talk. We also know some of the coaches or athletic department people (and some reporters) so we get the information.

Nothing against the Hokies, who I pull for, but this is our world today.  So we cheer on the guys and after their eligibility has ended we forget about them and pull for their replacements.

Now, to watch to see if the Hokies will be playing West Virginia in the Orange Bowl.  Old rivalry with no love lost between these two teams or the fans.  Should be a great game if it comes true.

Have a fun time and pull for your favorite teams or against those you do not like.

Isn't college football fun?????

You are absolutely right, Sam. Hate to say it, but it's true.
