Buy Or Sell: Marshall

57 Responses You are logged in as Test

1. I’m a Hokie 100 % of the time. Win or lose. Even losses we shouldn’t have had. Am I disappointed? Yes. All is not lost, at least not yet. Coach Pry admitted his mistakes in the game. Some players need to step it up too. T-Bo? Yeah, I still have questions about him.
   It would be crazy if VT fired the coaches every time they lost a game as it seems many of the haters call for. Most people I know, including myself, make mistakes and have bad days. Own it and move on.

   GO HOKIES!!!!!!!

2. Random thoughts…we are going to the Marshall game, driving up from Cary, NC. I’m 70 and my wife will be in October. Not sure how much longer I will make the effort. I have seen the ups and mostly downs of Hokie football, following them since I was old enough to remember. I have absolutely NO confidence in this team or its coaches. Yes, I drank some of the Kool Aid, but I was very nervous going into the Vanderbilt game. When VT started the way it did, I had that sinking feeling. It is hard to win against most teams if you spot them 17 points. Until VT shows me something different, I seriously doubt that we can better our record from last year. I hope they prove me wrong.

3. Missed Question: Will TSL be operational through Saturday’s game?

   BUY
   SELL

   1. Hmmm, tough call. We’ve made some great adjustments, but those DDoS attacks will get after ya (sniff).

      Ima …. BUY.

4. Question: Did we cover the spread last week?

   1. TIC right? We were favored by 13.5 and lost the game so no, we did not cover the spread.

5. If the coaches really understood what is needed and designed a feasible plan, I do think that the players would play better. The players and their performances are, to a great degree, a reflection of the faith they have in the coaches to put them in a position to do their jobs well.
   Our coaches seem to have NO clue how to game plan and use the players strengths.

   1. I have to agree, the first half last week was a joke. Probably the 3 players sitting on the bench (on TV) at end of game were having that conversation. Been there!

6. Tyler Bowden is a freakin joke. That’s all. Get a new “OC” if you can even call him that. WTF is my money even going towards?

   1. *Bowen. He’s definitely not a member of the Bowden family.

      1. T.Bow shows flashes of brilliance but also moments that make you shake your head. He’s no Bryan Stinespring but he’s no Chip Kelly either. It’s not his fault he was given a job and not 100% ready for it, but here we are.

         1. If I had shown no signs of improvement in my job three years after being hired, my employer would be having very uncomforable conversations with me…..

            1. Yessir!

            2. LOL – You wouldn’t have a job

            3. But he DID shows signs last year starting with Pitt…and then suddenly he reverted to pre-Pitt Bowen

7. Any body who thinks that anything has changed with this team since three years ago are drinking some extrordinary cool aide. Pry appears to be an above average recruiter but appears to be lacking as a coach, he was suppose to be a defense guru…..we lost to the worst team in the SEC…..that says it all……0-2 again.

   1. Bro- Kool Aide

      1. It was Flavor Aid.

   2. BULL. What the transfer portal has done is give teams an opportunity to greatly improve from one year to the next. I believe we will see Vandy in the middle of the SEC this year. Vast improvement over last year. Hats off to the Vandy coach importing a whole new offense through the portal.

      1. Vandy will be bottom half of SEC.

8. The offensive and defensive coaching is balanced. They both suck equally!

   1. A BIG HALLELUJAH !!!!

   2. Complementary football, baby!!

   3. If you believe both suck equally then go somewhere else.

9. That’s quite the spread, but I see a W on Sat!! Keep.the faith Hokie Nation!! It’s at Home too, don’t forget.

   1. Home?????…..check out our home record the last 3-4 years.

      1. Sir, so sorry to interrupt your whining, but you’ve got Florida State on line 2.

         1. 😂😉

      2. I have and totally agree – Lane is not feared by anyone these days

10. Sell it all, I’m still driving 3+ hours with my son to watch and I hope they show us all something. And by they, I mean the Coaches. This Team deserves better

11. Screw it, I’m going full homer. Buy all the good VT stats, sell the Marshall rushing yardage. Let’s party.

    Mostly I’m trying to manifest this, because we’ve already spent about $1k on the weekend to Blacksburg 😂

    1. Love this post!

12. Even a Herd butt whipping is not going to replace the smell from Nashville last week. Our level of (in)competence is amazing. Trying to remember our leader’s words from long ago…”you’re never as good or bad as you think you are”. I’m trying.

13. The interesting comparison will be total number of votes last week to this week

    1. So far, pretty even … about 2,000 votes on the Vandy version, and 1,800+ votes so far on this version.

14. While I certainly agree that all is not lost with one loss, the level of our post-season opportunity will be driven by our record and one win can make a difference. We have set ourselves back with that loss unless we go onto win the ACC and get an automatic high level bowl bid.

    1. Funny guy you are!

15. If TBow starts by running Drones up the middle into the defense like he did last week to start the game, I’m gon lose my shiz.

    1. Then you should buy adult diapers at your local Walmart and wear one to the game. We don’t want people who sit near you going “jeez what is that smell” Do you know how to tell when you are old? You don’t trust farts.

16. Even a win won’t shake that nagging feeling something just ain’t right.

17. My concern is the defense. Offense left a lot to be desired but 27 points should have been enough to win against vandy.

18. The Who: Won’t Get Fooled Again….but we always do! I have no faith in this bunch after last week. Why weren’t they prepared, why were you outcoached? Veteran team doesn’t make those gaffes if they are well-coached. The “Who Cares Anymore” meter has gone way up for many of us who were fooled again…and again…and again.
    When does basketball start?

    1. Meet the new boss, same as the old boss…0

    2. The coaching staff did a “worst job” than the “poor playing” of the players !

    3. We will suck in basketball too!

       This time men’s AND women’s!

19. I feel like most of these questions depends more on the offensive coordinator than the player. Such as 8 carries for Tuten, and running the ball 16 times with the QB.

20. “show me” week

21. LOVED this format!!!

22. ummm….this team lost to Vanderbilt.

23. 20 point spread is insane

    1. Yea, you know more than the professional oddsmakers. LMAO

       1. The “professional odds makers” opened it at 13-14 points so he’s got a point…

24. 19 point favorite is some crazy ass shigella. Someone was drinking a Rail at TOTS when they came up with that spread.

    1. the crazy thing is that it opened at 16.5 and was getting enough action to move up to 19.5

       1. As a rule of thumb, fading week one overreactions is usually a good play, but being emotionally invested in this team, I have a hard time convincing myself my negativity is an overreaction!

25. Zero confidence in anything for this team or especially its coaches

    1. We pull our heads from our back side this week and look like everything is fixed…… for a day.

       Just hoping.
