Well said. And I knew a few of those a-holes at App (not the fun kind).

At the end of the day I'll take a daughter with a decent boyfriend taking classes through Liberty over an a-hole that attends App State as I am sure even App State has a few men on campus that are not what I would want any of my three daughters dating.

Re: ODU vs VT
Sounds like ODU found themselves a QB.
My best friend is a Hokie who made the trip to Norfolk. I hope he is ok as there are a lot of bridges between SWVA and Norfolk that could tempt someone. Of course I rode with him to our imaginary game in Blacksburg, so I'm not too sympathetic.

Re: ODU vs VT
Did I hear right, that ODU’s back-up QB that started the game but left after the 2nd series due to injury? It was actually the 3rd String QB that won it. Crazy.

Re: ODU vs VT
The talking heads on ESPNU were trying to say that this upset may be the biggest college upset based on the fact of how poorly ODU was doing up to beating the Hokies. Losing to Liberty, FIU and (lol) Charlotte prior to this game.
I still think us beating Michigan as an FCS team (albeit a divisional powerhouse at the time) was still a bigger upset by a mile.

Sounds like Travaris Cadet who almost led an upset of EZU when AE almost cut off his foot.

Re: ODU vs VT
I think the Michigan upset definitely had more “glamour” because it was Michigan and for that reason, will be remembered more in the long term. I can see how This one last night might be considered the bigger upset in terms that we were a damn good team in 2007 (national champs) but ODU just flat out sucks. This one truly came out of nowhere!hotrod2001 wrote: ↑Sun Sep 23, 2018 11:07 amThe talking heads on ESPNU were trying to say that this upset may be the biggest college upset based on the fact of how poorly ODU was doing up to beating the Hokies.

How does a thread about a huge upset devolve into this crap? Good job ODU. Making the G5 proud.

Re: ODU vs VT
Well, VT does have precedent w/ this sort of thing so I wouldn’t say it came out of nowhere...can’t believe they were also 13th ranked the last time this happened! (Yes, I know James Madison is “better” than ODU but still FCS and it happened in Blacksburg)AppinATL wrote: ↑Sun Sep 23, 2018 12:04 pmI think the Michigan upset definitely had more “glamour” because it was Michigan and for that reason, will be remembered more in the long term.
