Hey bud i would like to start this off with a Roll Tide! and second off dont make a article talking about how bama will be upset unless your team can back it up...and how you said yaws D and D coordinator is better than any in the sec lets take a look at the numbers from tonights game...Alabama had 22 first downs to V-techs 11... 498 Total yards to v techs 155...and then you talked about us losing key parts of our offense mostly Jp wilson, well Greg was 15-30 for 230 and a TD...then you said the loss of glenn coffee, well lets take a look at the numbers again (mark ingram rushed 26 times for 150 yards and a TD, and Roy upchurch was 7 for 90 and a TD)..and then you gone on to say tyrod taylor would be a huge factor well lets look... He passed 9 pf 20 for 90 yards and rushed 7 times for -16 yards and was sacked a good bit mostly in the end when yaw needed a big play... so all in all you were right when saying it would be a hard played game it was good but we all found out tonight that alabama and the rest of the SEC are just too tough i mean we've had the last 2 national champions and soon to b for but good luck to yaws team i hope they do well in the ACC but the nation needs to realize the SEC is just too tough, fast, and good...

Thanks for the fan add, Dustin. I just read your articles and ... well, right back at ya!

I would be thrilled if VT upset Alabama in the opener, as Nick Saban is easily my least favorite coach in college football ...

Dude... you did the exact opposite of me...

I grew up in Pittsburgh, and moved down here to Southwest Virginia in 1996... I love Pittsburgh... it's such a great city! My cousin goes to Duquesne downtown and has an apartment that is on the 18th floor and over looks the city... He's got glass windows all around his apartment and can see all the sky rise buildings and Mellon Arena... it's awesome!

Keep up the great work on the stories... If you ever need anything edited, shoot me a message on my Bulletin Board... I love the Hokies and I love editing stories about them!
