Today, the Tar Heels face Virginia Tech in their conference opener and one of the biggest home games Carolina has had in a long time. Yes, Carolina still has 9 games to play after this game. But 3-0 is an important milestone for this team, and a win would put the Heels one game ahead of their ...

Before I wrote a preview of the Virginia Tech I wanted to get an idea of how Hokie fans are feeling about their football team, so I hit the blogosphere. What I found is that they’re really hating on their current offensive coordinator, Bryan Stinespring. They’re hating on him so ...

Talk this week and next will be about whether or not a victory over Virginia Tech would constitute a “signature win”. You can find the term thrown around a lot but there doesn’t appear to be a consistent definition applied. Many people felt former Husker coach Bill Callahan failed to capture ...

In our bi-weekly rankings system, we saw some remarkable movement. Indiana, West Virginia and Oregon fell out of the rankings. Penn State, Ohio State and Virginia Tech moved in. And Miami served notice (beating down free falling TAMU ) that it is next in line should one of the top 10 falter.  ...

First two and a half quarters: Pure jubilation. Sure, it was only a 14 point lead, but Greg Litlle had just run 50 yards for a touchdown to put us up 17-3. And honestly, where the hell was Virginia Tech’s offense gonna come from? Final quarter and a half:  ...

UNC: 14 penalties for 121 yards. I could really stop right there and the analysis of this game would be pretty much done. You know what happened? The same thing that always happens when you play Virginia Tech. Ugly happened. This has been the hallmark of Virginia Tech under Frank Beamer ...

This is your game thread. The game's on ABC, and the stands should contain less maroon than in years past. And this is: A Musical Tribute to the Opponent I don't care what the Tech campus radio station plays, I'm not going country here. Instead, here's a song from a British shoegaze group's ...

North Carolina leads Virginia Tech throughout the first half until Macho Harris takes a punt back either for a touchdown or to set up a gimme touchdown that puts the Hokies in front at halftime. Both offenses bog down in the second half and Tech hangs on to win on a late interception with ...

Let’s see… Ticket? Check. Carolina blue T-Shirt? Check. Perfect Sunny Day? Check. Tailgating chair to soak in the pregame atmosphere? Check. Unfounded, speculative optimism? HELL YES. Game Preview? Ugh. I knew I forgot something. Saturday morning, mmmbien ? Posted in ...

Do you know what tomorrow is? Of course, it’s Saturday, but for college football, it’s so much more. There are a ton of big games worth watching this weekend and like the above image tells you, I’m leading off with the UGA/ASU preview. Georgia at Arizona State - 8/7 ...

Well, That blowout of Rutgers was fun. I still randomly yell “FORTY-FOUR TWEE-ELVE!” to pump myself up. But ultimately, while a big morale booster, was a nonconference road game, the only such game we’ll see all season. This week, the conference season begins. At Home. ...

Tyrod Taylor wants to run the football, Everett Withers is glad to let him pass instead . Defensive coordinator Everett Withers is scheming to make Virginia Tech quarterback Tyrod Taylor throw the ball, something he did just 14 times last weekend against Georgia Tech. It’s no wonder ...
