The A-Line Board of Football Experts Fear the Turtle? Well, not exactly. The Virginia Tech football team showed a distinct lack of fear of what passes for the team fielded by the Terps, scoring early and often en route to the pasting of the Terps. Tech showed none of the listlessness on display the previous [...]
The A-Line Board of Football Experts “We came in with a very specific plan.”- algroh Well, that was certainly embarrassing. The Virginia Tech football season came to an abrupt end last Thursday night, or so it seemed, as the Hokies somehow or another managed to lose to North Carolina. Let’s have a quick show of [...]
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 [...]
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.

ACC basketball is poised for another big year. And then there is football. Things did not get off to a promising start [...]
August continues to creep by. As we continue the long and arduous trek through this most miserable of months, that shape off in the distance is starting to come more into focus and beginning to resemble the Georgia Dome. Chances are it’s not a mirage. While we wait the rest of the month out, we [...]
Football is in the air. Well, at least talk about football. The ACC staged its annual Football Kickoff over a long weekend. For a couple of days, attempts were made to ignore, or at least minimize, the ominous storm clouds that are gathering around league football and paint smiley faces over the whole operation. They [...]
I have a confession to make. It is a very difficult admission, especially considering the image I have tried very hard to project over the years. But, I feel I must come clean. As I have for the last several years, I am enjoying watching the College World Series. That is nothing new. The dirty [...]
A-Line Extra Hoo Sports Marketing has announced the addition of another act to the algroh’s Follies Football Revue. The same brilliant promotional folks who delivered the Hoo Spring Football Festivus, which has provided such laughter and merriment, said that Magical Bob would be appearing at the Smithsonian this year. Magical Bob last performed in Huntington, [...]
