Hokiemobile is rollin' in 2014
What a great way to start the Hokie football season, two wins instead of two losses!! William & his sister was a slow start but the trip the Hokies took to Columbus have got the juices flowing.
The Tribe game was poorly attended but it was good to get back to Blacksburg and smell the crisp Fall air. (It was 85 degrees in the direct sun that did not go behind the stands until the 4th quarter.) The tailgate featured tacos and good friends. The 4pm start was nice but I would like that for the ECU and Georgia Tech game not high noon!!
There was the beginnings of an offense noted on the field and something we have missed in Blacksburg for awhile, a Quarterback! Michael Brewer ( anyone else think his mustache is cheesy?) passed for 251 yards with only 1 interception. He made good decisions but honestly we should have hung 50+ on a team of this caliber.
Freshmen scored most of the points and a new running back has emerged. Shai MacKenzie had 106 yards and was ACC freshman player of the week. Still don't like the dreads!
My favorite player on the team Willie Byrn only turned in 49 yards but they were important ones!
The defense stood tall as usual and keep the Tribe out of the endzone.
Next up a long road trip to Columbus, Ohio, Home if the Ohio State Buckeyes!! The two teams have never met on the field and I have had this one circled on the calendar for two years. The family went with me and we enjoyed a historic game in the "Shoe".
Took a little nap to get ready for a long night on the National TV. Got to get our beauty rest.
Tailgated with the ClubHouse Tailgate at the Ohio State Fairgrounds before the game. Their hospitality was second to none as usual!
The game was great from the start. I know I am bias but I believe 4000 Hokies were louder than 103,000 Buckeyes throughout the game! Seats were where I expected, higher than birds fly but we could still see the butt whooping from there!!
Frank got the boys fired up and even had to straighten out the refs with a call reversing challenge.
Even the Brutus conceded to the HokieBird by acknowledging who was number one on this night!!
Next up is the Pirates from Greenville, North Carolina. The Pirates are playing a tough non-conference schedule with South Carolina, Virginia Tech and North Carolina back to back to try and make a name for themselves. You've heard me say it before. Be careful of those Pirates. They can beat you with their quarterback. Anytime you play a team 9 times they are bound to beat you one of those times and we are coming off a football high and may have a hangover on Saturday.
Game time is 12:00pm and the weather is expected to be in the low 70's with possible showers. The theme is going to be Brunching It. Bring any Breakfast/Lunch items you would like and spread it out on the table. I am sure Bob will be making Bloodly Mary's and Christie said she was bring sausage balls. Should be setup around 8:00am with first beer at 8:30.
Looking forward to seeing everyone in Lot 7. Any questions give me a call. and as always
GO HOKIES!! BEAT THE PIRATES!!
