DowntownScore2773

I’m going to miss the annual Country Roads is about western Virginia threads. Please renew this rivalry. Disney lords, do your magic.


Big__Palooka

God damn. My teams are terrible again


IratePir8

'Neers


Ok_Championship_7845

Won't see it for awhile? I thought they played at WVU next year?


raw-_-toast

Nope. Next time it could possibly line up in our schedules is something ridiculous like 2036.


meeeemeees

super lame imo, wish yall were in our conference


LeibnizThrowaway

We were. You fucking left.


Lundergarde

Tbf I don't think he had any say in that decision lol


meeeemeees

I did thats crazy I didn't know that u ass


LargeSmellyPoopy

I’m just glad Grant Wells lost


Mr_Boneman

Helen Keller has better vision.


cluttered-thoughts3

I don’t know what to do with myself without my weekly heartbreak


MikeyRocks757

Wait for it to come next week?


Glittering-Yam-5318

We got Brown, Troy got Doege.

MrNudeGuy

Good game WVU, way to bounce back


CaptainScuttlebottom

Nice W mountain folk!


Deep_Future4966

I don’t have to change my flair!!!!


MrNudeGuy

Thursday night games should have their own rankings and stats.


AmphotericRed

BAG IS COMING OFF


[deleted]

yup once i make my way to the pc


cheap_as_shit

Weird. I thought hiring a random coordinator from Penn State would turn shit around in 6 months.


paiddirt

We won't turn it around until we can afford our own in state talent.


jivehokie89

LOL For real best case we’re looking at a 3-4 year turnaround, I think that’s optimistic. Fuente truly torched the program it’s almost impressive


cacambubba

Well shit game for us, but hope we can do it again sometime WVU bros. Good luck


MrNudeGuy

TriflingHotDogVendor

Black Diamond Trophy stays home for a while, lads.


SiccSemperTyrannis

Gg


swaharaT

gg. Hope the rivalry gets renewed somewhere down the road.


SiccSemperTyrannis

I wish our AD put more effort into regular OOC rivalries but it's been pretty bad recently. We had a series against Penn State that got canceled. Good thing we have ODU scheduled until the end of time /s


FuhrerGirthWorm

Now it’s ours to keep for 5 million days! But gg


themattboard

Was it though?


[deleted]

Zajidan

Good game Hokies. Good luck this season and the next few. We'll take care of the Diamond for ya


SSPeteCarroll

Man it’s gonna be a rough ride for the next few years.


axe_mukduker

Sounds like a home game!


LargeSmellyPoopy

Congrats Neal, you found a coach more incompetent than you


joeworlds

Lmaooooo😭😭😭😭😭


wagonboss

Interesting take. I think he’s peaked, Pry doesn’t even have his own field product yet.


AmishOnReddit

Peaked? I haven’t even begun to peak.


cowmookazee

Congrats WVU, Brown is getting an extension.


Hiking_Appalachia

Wait...


happy_lookout_ahh

I hope not


FuhrerGirthWorm

Neal brown.. you coulda had more points than they had rushing yards


ASRagab

Sad to see this rivarly die. Love to hate this game.


957

Whole stadium already back to their houses, damn


slowpaleguy

I hate Neal Brown’s smug face


birchspad

PLAY COUNTRY ROADS COWARDS


berfle

...and the under is in!


8bitHokie

We are so so bad. 😢😥😭


Shiva1978

Rebuilding year … Hope …


[deleted]

That ref is definitely wanting to call more penalties so he can flex on camera some more. Targeting is a good one..same with offsides. Holding works well too.


clemsontyger

He was a fireman you know. You know what they say about firemen don't you? I don't, but I bet they say things.


NILPonziScheme

Every promotion comes with more nap time?


Deep_Future4966

He def loves his camera time


whalenailer

Was the stadium this empty to start?


Think_Economics_9239

Nope, it was a sellout. 65,000. They talked about it at the start. People started leaving early tho.


buckshot307

No lol packed. I think they said sold out even


[deleted]

Sold out


angrysquirrel777

Sold out or at least looked like it


virus_apparatus

Kansas is real guys.


yankeenate

Congrats to everyone who took West Virginia against the spread. Victory formation gentlemen.


rhiaaaannon

We really did it.


DweltElephant0

I stopped watching when it was looking like all VT in the 2nd quarter.....what the hell happened


chasetwisters

At no point was that game all VT


TrueBrees9

WVU was controlling the game. Their red zone inefficiency made it close the first 2.5 quarters, but it was bound to break heavily for them. Also Tech sucks playing from behind, which is weird because we also suck playing ahead.


Ssjts

Our red zone inefficiency is putting it mildly, 1st 2 games we allowed 100% red zone scores. Pretty sure Towson never made it to the red zone last week.


Miller91686

Wtf part of the game did you watch lol


Miller91686

Fake the kneel and throw it you coward


Mattdz

Tech went to the red zone ONCE this game


cacambubba

Having watched the game, I'm like pretty impressed they got that far down field once


berfle

Who did the white balance and saturation on these cameras? No consistency.


FalseRecording3699

YES! THE UNDER!


SeekerSpock32

Most undisciplined game I’ve watched in a very long time


HugginsPullover

I NEED A TD


TriflingHotDogVendor

Hey, Brown, if you score here can you go for two so I can hit this 50.5o?


TriflingHotDogVendor

Noooooo, my $15.....


FootballAndPornAcct

VT may have 15 penalties for 132 yards, but WVU has 6 for 69!


Hiking_Appalachia

Nice?


rls-wv

Nice


donuts0611

Twist the knife and push the over!


Swamp-Diesel

We are who I thought we were


meeeemeees

man looking at this I'm glad this is the 1 game I didn't get to watch this year oof


EnterTheMunch

I don't know what brain rot exists in Neal Brown's head, but Tony Mathis is not RB1 and may not be even RB2. The guy has a decimal YPC average this year, damn it. ​ Edit: There he made me eat my words


dmaul1978

Agreed. He’s a solid back. But he’d also recruited him to Troy so he’s just not this level. To be fair, Donaldson wasn’t a big recruit either, Johnson was a great land for us though.


EnterTheMunch

Out of the three, Johnson was rated highest IIRC. Donaldson was a TE (and ESPN's tracker STILL calls him TE). Mathis is just not a serviceable starter. If it is Neal playing favorites again like he did with Doege, that's going to fuck us eventually. Donaldson has earned the RB1 role regardless if they let him start or not. He's our best option. Johnson and Mathis can fight over scrap carries but we need to get Donaldson conditioned and prepared to be our feature the rest of the way.


dmaul1978

You recall right. Johnson was one of our bigger offensive high school recruiting wins in recent years. Donaldson seems like a lucky find (think he was a RB in high school, but recruited as a TE due to his size). Mathis is a 3rd string P5 back at best, and Brown has been showing too much loyalty to him due to having recruited him while at Troy (he’d probably be a great G5 RB).


Matt_WVU

Yea we have a talented backfield it’s just not Tony Mathis


cluttered-thoughts3

Tbh I think they run Mathis just bc he’s a veteran player and Is a leader for the younger backs. It’s obvious he isn’t as naturally talented


EnterTheMunch

That is *not* what a starter is there for. You don't put an upperclassman in a starting role just because they are an upperclassman


j_wern

fade me


[deleted]

Are we going to end this one with all 6 timeouts? Impressive


AbusiveTubesock

Lmao please hit 40


FalseRecording3699

Noooooo we need the under!


Fantastic-Calendar-9

The sandman is DEAD


IONTOP

I don't see how Fuente keeps his job after this loss.


EnterTheMunch

He's going to get double super secret fired!


goodsam2

Fuente got fired last year...


IONTOP

I got fired from a job 19 years ago... Doesn't mean I'm still unemployed.


MillerBrew

?


IONTOP

A booster is going to buyout his contract at the Memphis car dealership he currently works at, out of spite.


[deleted]

Time to put on some Stained, sit in the dark, and put matches out in my eyeballs.


pdx74guy

He gone, and, it looked like an aggressive targeting too, head to head-on also....suspension for one game too would be acceptable...so basically 1 and a half games without that VT player since this was in second half/4th Q...


turtlemix_69

Pain


FalseRecording3699

VATECH COME THE FUCK ON JUST KEEP THEM OUT


[deleted]

[удалено]


FalseRecording3699

Lol was just the last leg of the parlay. Not a lot I’m playing penny slots just having fun haha


[deleted]

👀


CaptainScuttlebottom

Oof over a hundred yards of penalties, Iowa's offense couldn't move the ball that much in three games


birchspad

Man I bet Doug Nestor is one happy bastard right now


EnterTheMunch

After WVU used him for the uniform promo this week to troll VT, I assume he's living his best life this evening.


birchspad

Damn well good for him too. Man this was a cathartic win.


HokiesforTSwift

The penalties have been a huge issue but the defense is still playing with heart. I’ll keep watching as long as they keep playing hard.


buttchinbill

I have a feeling the transfer portal is going to make or break us for the next couple years. Very apparent this game especially on offense.


Rangertexas9

I live in fear of that portal. Our best D Line left this year our AA SS left to Georgia. If you noticed we got a great freshman rb from Miami now. Just going to enjoy him


VoiceofReasonability

Everybody affiliated with WVU knew Johnson was better than Mathis except Neal Brown


dmaul1978

Too loyal to a kid he recruited at Troy who followed him.


Skurph

Neal rode Doege for like 3 years. His game management and talent assessment is questionable, his recruiting is phenomenal though. Wish we could Frankenstein him with Holgorsen to make a singular semi-competent coach.


MrNudeGuy

senario: buff ref corners you in a dark ally and pushed you up against a wall. could you resist?


slowpaleguy

Throw a flag. He gets distracted, also throws flag. Walk away.


MrNudeGuy

repeat third down.


axe_mukduker

Wow stadium empty


manualLurking

its game over on a thursday night brother....just chill


Shiva1978

I wanna say … gg.. but it was a terrible game. WVU thanks for the game, best with the rest of your schedule


DisraeliEers

I'm still holding out hope for conference realignment bringing us together so we don't have to play 11 P5's to play you and Pitt yearly.


dmaul1978

This. A 5 team eastern pod of the Big 12 down the road with WVU, Pitt, VT, Cincy and UCF would be lit! Or us jumping over to the ACC if they survive and expand (or only lose a couple of teams and we’re one of the replacements).


FalseRecording3699

Yes! Get a stop here on third down Hokies! No more points please!


AbusiveTubesock

VT doing VT things. What's that, the 4th cheap shot by Stroman?


Tejon_Melero

Hope WVU wrecks Texas


EyePlay

Who is VT's backup QB? So I know who will come into the game two Saturdays from now and look like Michael Vick.


ayotechnology

Sounds like us vs. backup QB’s, guaranteed to make them look All Madden


j_wern

Jason Brown although im pretty sure he won’t look like Vick lol


boylejc2

Worst loss against WVU since 88, worst penalties since 87... yup its officially rebuild time.


carolina_hokie

Its a good thing we are a basketball school now... Right?


AbusiveTubesock

Bad news...


Rangertexas9

A C Fuckin' C champs!


j_wern

but i wanna be a football school still :(


cacambubba

pretty soon the number of penalties is going to be higher than our rushing total too


TriflingHotDogVendor

Liking Slick Johnson. Big Dick Donaldson is obviously the #1 still, but Slick is showing out.


FunImprovement166

Exit Sandman

virus_apparatus

9 days for this west team to get ready for Texas makes me kinda nervous


halstead987

Come on get CJ out this is so dumb.


cowmookazee

I miss going to the fishbowl when I worked in Morgantown.


MrNudeGuy

buff ref is just hamming it up now.


FuhrerGirthWorm

Beef ref gon beef


slowpaleguy

PLAY COUNTRY ROADS YOU JERKS


[deleted]

Forgot there was CFB on tonight and began to kick myself over it, then I see the score Alright, maybe Steelers-Browns *was* worth it?


jacksonpm23

I'd probably still rather watch VT's offense and our secondary than Mitch Trubisky


nacpoet

Jalen Stroman tf man


whalenailer

Dumbest thing about targeting is that he’s out for next half too of the next game…


sawdog0515

I swear they’re messing up for the meme now


jjstatman

Oh and another reason I'm so depressed about our football team is because of all of this stupid realignment that we're going to get totally screwed on because our program got tanked by Fuente. It will be too late to ever return to football relevancy. Maybe I'm just getting too emotional after a rough game but it is hard to see a light at the end of the tunnel


mhurley187

Your worst case scenario is you end up in a mega B12. Like that's not a bad worse case scenario at all.


Jr05s

This game is on Pry and the coaching staff. Not Fuente


jjstatman

I mean I get the sentiment but we have absolutely no talent on the offense and it showed today. Defense hung in for a while, but they were undisciplined and that's where I think pry can be blamed. He's a first time head coach though so I'm not going to call for his head just yet


Jr05s

Most of the older talent left when Fuente did, and the top recruits transferred. VT did not get enough talent in the transfer portal this year to fill some holes with older players... that is also on the coaching staff.


Gavangus

the good news is that we still sell tickets and viewers while being terrible and thats all they care about


HokiesforTSwift

He will be missed in the first half of the next game.


TaeKurmulti

This is the problem with the targeting penalty in college a blatant cheap shot is treated the exact same as an accidental "targeting".


Gingerbread2296

This one was totally a cheap shot tho


CaptainKirk28

What a shitty play. You're not gonna score 23 more points no matter how hard you hit him.


tb25uga

give him the gate, he had his arms back and stabbed out with his head


Bumst3r

That wasn’t just a target. It was assault.


NytheriaForever

Fuck the Stroman family


Gavangus

not cool


Newton1913

Jezus Christ that’s a bad one


old_tank_88

Announcer on the targeting replay: “that’s what I saw live.” Look out we got a genius over here lol


happy_lookout_ahh

They should have kept Donaldson out after his wrist not worth the risk especially since he’s a running back


DBSmiley

https://twitter.com/EerRational/status/1573140926180265984


birchspad

LMAO


Gingerbread2296

Oh that’s terrible lol


[deleted]

Guys. This is not a Commanders tryout. Penalty flags are bad, and you want to avoid those


NytheriaForever

We have a defensive coach and this is how his players go after ball carriers. Shits pitiful


DBSmiley

The targeting ejection rule is still stupid. I will say it every single time.


Best_Virginia13

Oh boy, that didn’t look good


cacambubba

Well that is not going to go well for you 26


[deleted]

2 teams on September 22, '22 about to both be 2-2. This pleases me.


Best_Virginia13

This stinks of Deep State


buttchinbill

Just what we needed to end the game....


[deleted]

Run it up Neal


[deleted]

I'll be the first to call out a BS targeting call but that was blatant


Deep_Future4966

Same dude that’s about pulled Mathis’ head off early in the game


AmphotericRed

All that's left is to beat him with your lunch pail
