Rising States: Virginia is loaded

  • getmyjive11 said...

    I just think it's funny that HPTWAHOO uses the word "loaded" to describe a top 20 class. #20 is loaded? Really?? Does he realize that at #20, still nearly 30% of major conference teams will have a better class?

    No comprehension whatsoever.

  • WAHOOS = March champs in VA every year. Just ask them, they'll tell you all about it.

    If UVA didn't have to have a spring game that 2,000 "fans" show up for and then actually step on the field in the fall and play football, they'd be a damn fine program.

    You also have to keep em in school...which you all aren't all that good at...and you have to win enough to keep the sharks off your recruits and keep your coach. You all have a lot going for you on the recruiting trail, but you will have a hell of a time winning more than 4 games this year (4 is actually going to be harder than you want to admit). You have some tools on O...but good god man, look at your D depth chart...you will be starting kids that wouldn't be on the VT 2 deep and have kids that are 2-deep that would be RS for VT. You can't argue that, if you had VT's roster on D and we had yours you'd be saying the same thing. IMO you need to hope Coley wins the LB job so you can move Q Moore to DE where he belongs...if not you are even thinner on the DL

    Most ridiculous thing I may have ever read. That D is easily as talented as Tech. Easily!!! Which starter is it exactly who you think wouldnt be one a 2-deep at VT??? That is ******* ludicrous. Your D for all it's hype last yr. was not that great.
    DL will be fine. LB'ers will be fine; gonna have some growing pains there for sure, but they will be fine. Speed is the name of the game and we have it--not worried after these kids get some more game experience.

    Our D was damn good last year. Player's moved around, several back from season ending injuries, and first half of the season they really didn't perform very well at all. After adjusting to new positions and those coming back from injury shaking the rust off, VT finished strong, at #18 in the nation in total D. 19 of the 22 two deep return. That's a lot of depth.

    Why don't you post your 2 deep so we can all have a look at it. At DE I like Harold and Moore but both would have RS at VT last year and would be fighting for PT at VT, they are not better than our starters. I like Tra too, but he would not start over Fuller or Exum, ad according to the level headed Hoo posters you will have to play Tr Freshmen in the DB again, possibly starting...and who the hell are your DT's going to be? If you can't stop them up the middle the game is over before it starts. Braithwright was your best player on D IMO, he's gone.

    The VT D finished 18th in the nation last year, and was in the bottom half of the Nation for the first half of the year. Once Exum got in the groove and we stopped having our 2 slowest LB's in the game at the same time we got much better.

    You have some nice players on O, but your D will be terrible....oh and your DC requires depth to attack for a full game

    Of course they are, its March. Let me guess, your offense is easily as talented as VT's, special teams are just as talented, and your coaches are just as talented? UVA is "just as talented as VT" in March, then come November they get curbstomped back into reality.

  • Let me summarize what's going on in this post:

    UVA posters thinking they will clean up the state: loco

    VT posters' response: lol

    UVA posters saying that their defense will be better than VT: liar

    VT posters' response: headslap

    My opinion of delusional Hoos: moon

    It proved that even the worst VT team in the last 15 years is still better than UVA.

    Yea, real curbstomp job last yr. With that late game gift pick and terrible clock management to gift you guys the game...
    And who even cares about our D if we are going to speak in the context of a UVA-VT football game. Thomas is terrible. Straight up. Had Wilson to protect him in 2011. Now what? I luv Coleman, think he can really play, but he's not a 20-25 carry back at this point. And Holmes, I'm from H'burg, love the kid, but he's not capable of keeping a def. honest--no big-play ability---another Tony Gregory. Who you gonna throw to?? D'mitri Knowles?? Dude is like Usain Bolt in the celebrity All-Star B-ball game....great straight line speed, but avg. hand and no wiggle after the catch. Half the kids playing in our secondary would be starting receivers at Tech.....let's be real here. Your vanilla Off. hasn't allowed you to recruit quality players on the outside and for yrs the program has made a living taking advantage of a mobile QB to make plays and make your WR/TE look good. Coale and Boykin were great, but what are they really??? Avg. possession receivers. And now you don't even have those.

    All are better than what UVA has now. Harold and Moore would compete for playing time if there were in Blacksburg, but they would not start right away. They could become something special but need some more time developing.

  • Maddy beat out 2 4* last year. Hop was HM ACC.

    You had 7 first downs in the entire game, our god awful O had 23 first down vs you.

    How? Our laughing stock of an offense put up over 300 yards on your defense. Your O only managed 217 yards, with 1/3 of that coming on two pass plays.

    That is gold Jerry, gold. Possibly one of the top 10 most awesome post I have ever seen on this board. Dude, kudos for taking hilarious to another level.

    Marshall would start at any one of your four d-line spots. Hop is better than any DT you have on roster, or had last year. Maddy would be starting for y'all too.

    You were great on 3rd down with Thomas going up the middle for short gains. But you have zero--like squat--in terms of explosive ability on that side of the ball. Well you have Coleman and if they use him properly he could be your guy--but outside of him---nothing doin'

    I feel some sort of bet coming on here...how about you back up your talk with something substantial?

    So you're sitting here telling me that our offense is putrid, which we already know, but your defense is just as good, even though our offense put up superior numbers to your's last year? Care to elaborate? Are you saying you guys suck that much more on offense?
