Much had been made of the ‘Just like football’ chants made by Tech fans following the Hokies’ basketball defeat of the Hoos in the John. The greatest effect seemed to be on the Hoo players themselves. Attempting to show solidarity with their football brethren and perhaps inspired by algrohed coach algroh stopping by Hooville long [...]
Another week’s observation of the games people play produced another interesting week. Well, aside from a Sunday of high comedy. Nothing says Valentine’s Day like watching drivers line up to be interviewed by Fox while NASCAR officials attempt to figure out how to repair a track. While one would think that for all of the [...]
Roanoke Times sportswriter and noted algroh-lover Doug Doughty recently pointed out that Georgia Tech didn’t seem to be paying a lot for its new Defensive Coordinator. Following an exhausting investigative report that involved reading the Atlanta paper, the intrepid Doughty read that that the Jackets would be paying algroh, recently algrohed as Hoo football coach, [...]
The shouts came from the John’s upper deck. After Virginia Tech had concluded its stirring comeback over the Hoos, about the only thing that could be heard were the chants of ‘Just like football.’ They could have been referring to the entire ACC basketball season. As ACC honcho Little Johnny Swofford attempts to deal with [...]
Well, this very likely won’t be the first ACC basketball season where every single team finishes with an 8-8 record.

Various media sources have reported that the Hoos have hired Richmond coach and former algroh assistant Mike London for the enviable job of trying to rebuild the mess left behind by the Great NFL Legend Poetry Reader. The Hoos acted quickly to lock up London, merely hours after UR’s season ended in a loss to [...]
The A-Line Board of Football Experts Jim on WSET-TV [middle-aged?] “I’m sure I will always call the guy in the glass a friend.”- algroh And so it ended. Hoo football coach algroh was algrohed early Sunday, following what must have been one of the shortest program evaluations ever undertaken. The reign of the Great NFL [...]
The A-Line Board of Football Experts Well, there is little to be said about last Saturday’s game. Tech was supposed to win and did. Tech was supposed to win by a lot and did. The Hokies sent the seniors out in style, blasting an injury-riddled NC State team and coaching staff [be well, Dana Bible], [...]
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 [...]
