Another 1968 - 2008 Coincidence

40 Years since the Hokies beat the Hoos

Tuesday, April 17

Initial Reaction (It took 36 hours)

And now what…. I got some paper from this place and I am supposed to care, well yeah I do care, quite a bit, cus that cop is being filmed no where near where anything relevant to your camera’s presence occurred, its stocked film bullshit, show your aging correspondent
The gunman HAD to walk past the place where I learned about the west’s imperial eye,
4 of them were from my area now
from NJ
They all walked and yelled and drank where I drank
And went to the cascades and so what if this doesn’t matter that I am not there and wish I were
Why
Why not

And be angry
and just anguish and tremble and and and and
It’s a record we need to know that cus it might be somehow more tragic if we had fallen just short of that too. The communal HOKIE experience of … whatever we invented wireless technology and about a billion other things that I'd like to take credit for but merely take pride in, like one of those souls taken off the earth the BIOCHEM-ENGINEER prof who was like top 5 in the world. Don't we all just lose huge there. If that was a lone incident in 5000 miles away that'd be bad enough, but I can visualize that guy and the other brilliant people our university employs and the students too clearly for this to be real, yet.
To many whys and nothing retorts.
even the shabby alums such as myself take pride in
And this person, living creature of the same God walked on the same steps where I plead for peace the day the war began, and my best friend proposed to his wife and, where I met a dear person to read a book next to and shared meals there and
There’s just no resolution to this conflict, it just ends and we are heavy with emptiness.

First round microcosm

By the bracket I filled out that is taped to the wall in my room (which is a rough sketch of the 5 brackets I filled out online and elsewhere) I have a 22-10 record after the first round.

I guess that means i am good enough to lose in the first round like Arizona.

only 2 teams from the sweet 16 i predicted are out.
so I cannot be so down on the reults thus far.
but for the first time ever no 12s beat 5s

but we almost gave them that one didnt we. maybe we got some calls late, but come on not-Illiani, score a friggan point why dont ya?


What was the name of that guy that played and transfered from VT in like 2000 to SIU. I suppose we owe the Silukis one for that, and I also suppose that Tim Brando and Mike Gminski will mention it about 783 times by the end of sunday's game.

Hopeless saturday

this is the kind of saturday i would like to take off from work.
i wont
i wanna watch my hokies play some ball
but i wont
its not that i dont care
i dont get espn U
i wont see the full circle effect and i aint gonna be there
but this seems like a trap game
so miss is always a tough out
hateysburg brings the dirty south gritty tough sugar sweat mud
seriously(but only for a second) this is a tough out for a team (hokies that is) that may not really be very good. actually this,

They are a good team. They are a player away from playing with any team in the country. How it is that VaTech constantly lacks stability at QB position. (i mean they get it for seasons but, Why is it always year in year out such a chore the watch the Virginia Tech passing offense. its like playing your 7th grade self at Joe Montana football. mad wack.) If you are a close friend of mine when it comes to VT football then you know the level of VT appologist and optimist I am. I think it this:

IT IS UNCONTIONABLE AT THIS POINT THAT THEY HAVE NOT DEVISED A QB PROOF SYSTEM. (iknowihavecratedthem) THESE MEN OF NEW RIVER VALLEY LORE. BUD FOSTER BILL ROTH FRANK BEAMER. THEY HAVE NOT COME UP WITH SOME KIND OF WAY FOR THE LIVING TRUTH OF CONSTANT OFFENSE TO EXIST. REGGIE!! FRIGAN MURPHEY THESE MAY BE THE DAG GONE BESTEST GROUP OF RECEIVERS EAST OF THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER IN COLLEGE FOOTBALL AND THEY DONT HAVE SOMEONE TO GET THEM THE BALL.

GRGRFARGRERRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGHSGSHSGDKDSHFJAD!!!!!!!!!

2 guys

a white man in times square in a VT hat, '79 grad, lives in Culpepper,VA, tipped me off.
He said, "watch out for UNC", "they have a great running game", he says to me.

In the next to last row of Giants Stadium, black man with his son, bought cracker jacks from me wore a UNC hat. I told him about the first man. He said, "yeah you should be concerned"

ok so now i am

first guy said if we beat UNC look out we are good.

ok.

dont judge by the first 10 lines

Do you think when they produce a statue of Coach Frank Beamer that it will include intricate detail of his burn (which I used to call a goider, ok still lovingly call a goider, especially lovingly when this great coach chokes the aggressiveness of his offense in the second half of big games).

Will that history be written truthfully?

Will ours?

What will be the legend of the name Vick now at our school?

I wish this blog were more popular with people that went to tech, or just support it. (honestly i think about 5 people read this a week, and 2 on are accident). But, I feel this way because I am in Times Square messing with people on the street most days. And I always get excited when i see people from VT, or at least rocking the gear. And i am like, "hey look at me, I went there, and yeah, and i love it." No one believes it. And unlike most things that happen in that corporate funhouse, it stings a bit to be rejected by these folks. you fo...my folks - as it were.

in a very cartoonish way it is not unlike when the Twilight Zone movie has that nasty racsit man has the klan he used to roll with come up on him as if he was skin-toned like ronyell wittiker or something. it hurts to be rejected by your own, ya'll.

And, if these people wanted to buy comedy tickets, I would not mind, but I will still give (you perhaps) some love. so, tell people that might rock VT threads, when you come to the square, give me listen and we'll share a laugh at pink polo shirt wearin' uVa mo fo's expense, cus you gotta know, and believe; I jeer at them and would not solicit, nor except their money for discounted comedy passes I possess.
