Bad Atlanta Again 10/20/09
The A-Line Board of Football Experts Maybe it is the city. Virginia Tech last Saturday night dropped its second football games in as many tries in that megalopolis to the south. On the brighter side, the Hokies do remain 5-0 in games played in the rest of North America and beyond. Unfortunately, there are no [...]
Halftime 10/12/09
The A-Line Board of Football Experts The 2009 football season is now half over.  Well, the regular portion of it, anyway. It seems just yesterday that the bag was being packed for Atlanta. For that matter, by the end of the week, it will seem like just yesterday that the bag was being packed for [...]
The Week That Was 10/06/09
The A-Line Board of Football Experts Well, that was a fun weekend. Well, take away the nagging cough, sniffles and general all-around feeling of malaise that won’t seem to go away [the rain during the Canes game- the gift that keeps on giving] and it was still a fun weekend. Well, take away the annoying [...]
Back and Backless 09/28/09
“The U might be back, but we never left.” – Rashad Carmichael “They’re a lot better than I thought they were.”- Bobby Bowden The A-Line Board of Football Experts So, it turned out the emperor had no Back. After a week in which the national media in general and ESPN in particular set new standards [...]
Miracle on Spring Road 09/21/09
“The U might be back, but we never left.” – Rashad Carmichael “They’re a lot better than I thought they were.”- Bobby Bowden The A-Line Board of Football Experts Well, that was fun. Virginia Tech coupled a crisp, well-executing offense with its usual outstanding  defense to totally dominate Nebraska on the way to a solid [...]
A Horse of a Different Color 09/14/09
“We need an eraser.“- algroh The A-Line Board of Football Experts What a difference a week makes! Things went a little better for both Virginia Tech and most of the rest of the ACC. A week after being utterly embarrassed in the OOC corral, this time only one team was thrown. There seemed to be [...]
Not A Positive Start 09/07/09
“It’s an improvement.”- algroh The A-Line Board of Football Experts Is it basketball season yet? Ol’ Roy still has a ton of top-shelf talent returning and Coach K has addressed his guard shortage. ACC basketball is poised for another big year. And then there is football. Things did not get off to a promising start [...]
Game Travel 09/02/09
Once again, a long and dreary Dead Zone is at an end. Very soon, football will be played. The tedium of waiting is almost over. Like thirty-some odd thousand other Hokies and an equal if not greater number of Bama fans, I will in a couple of days be journeying to Atlanta to observe the [...]
Keith
GREAT news!!! Keith’s surgery went very well. When I have it, I will post an update here on Keith Carr’s surgery. He was taken in at 0700. The surgery is expected to last from 4-6 hours. Best wishes to Keith, Sue Carol, Erin and Matt. The Return of the A-Line Board of Football Experts
Fearless Predictions 08/26/09
With the kickoff of another football season a fortnight away, the time seems apt to take a stab at predicting the ACC’s 09 season. Parity ruled the conference last year and nothing much seems to have changed. While there still don’t seem to be any really great teams with Duke showing signs of life, there [...]
