All crunked up on UT

This video proves there is very little difference between being a Virginia Tech fan and a Tennessee fan. You love NASCAR, struggle with the finer points of grammar and you invented the fourth meal before Taco Bell.

Podcast: Episode 54

We're in the thick of the bowl season and we couldn't be any more pleased. Listen to today's show to hear which conferences we think have the most to gain and lose in bowl games, and which conference we think will be the biggest surprise.

We also propose a possible change for the NCAA to consider on coaching changes (OK, Phil doesn't like the idea), and give you are best picks for the next week of bowl games. Phil spends a little time evaluating the USC program, while Tom looks at Virginia Tech's chances of ending its drought against the SEC in the Chick-fil-a Bowl. Both of us also talk about the most memorable college football moment of the past decade. Enjoy.

So this is what a Hokie looks like

Thanks for the great photos Virginia Tech. Now you see why no one outside of Blacksburg takes the Hokies seriously. Oh yeah, good luck against Alabama in that little season opener on Sept. 5 in Atlanta.

Beamer gets jacked

As a lifelong WVU fan, I've always thought Frank Beamer was a bit over-rated and deserved a good beat down. Seems one of his own players took care of it during the ACC Championship Saturday. Good thing for that player the Hokies defeated Boston College in Tampa.

Give Frank credit. He didn't go down (completely) and he even gets a chuckle out of it.
