Big Jim, are you ok?  Not like you to not post 1 week after last game, especially a Thursday night game and a win over GT.  Hope everything is ok in your world.

We're probably going to catch Clemson on the bounce back, but who knows.  Dabo ain't playing to Danny Ford levels yet. Good luck to you guys against the lesser Tech and their knob of a coach.  be at the ready, however, the GNFLL prowls the GT sideline.  ;) Hopefully, the Pack can split the last 4 games (I'd love a sweep, but that reality bone tells me better).  Perhaps, one of these days, the Hokie Nation and the Wuffies can party in CLT.   Red October has passed.  The highlight film of the weekend was “the planting” of JH.  Hoo lover or Hoo hater, that was an epic hit (in the words of my 11 year old granddaughter).  Shannon may be as toasted as Butch before this season ends.

Then there was the antics of the coach of the Hood from the South as amply covered in the associated article to which this reply is made.  I did cringe when I watched Heisman Harris being pummeled like a rag doll, head snapping forward and then being brutally planted in the Snott Stadium turf.  Of course, the Hoos did their best to blow the entire thing in just one quarter.  Imagine that, leading 24-0 at the start of the 4th, only to watch that comfortable lead slip to a mere 5 points by game's conclusion. Then there was the tumultuous end.  Somehow, a grown, bad-ass football coach collapsing to the ground, needing to be helped up and then supported by two assistants with tears streaming down his face and reduced to a sniveling, blubbering baby, as the assistants move him across the field does not appeal to my football nature.  To me, it was totally disgusting and not at all becoming of the coach who just upset a ranked opponent.  Can anyone imgaine Bud doing that?????  Of course it is Hooville, home of the Festivus, Zima, wine and cheese, ties and sun dresses and ..... oh yes, the dancing Jeffersons.  Won't it be delightful to have Coach London gather his players around him after all great, key game wins to have a bawling conest.  Afterwards, they can all had down to Club 219 (is that the correct number?).  They would certainly fit in there.  Only in Hooville.
