The Wolfpack baseball team recovered from a Friday loss to the Hokies to take the series 2 games to 1 with a doubleheader sweep on Sunday. The first game, well, looked like football with a 19-18 final score. Pratt Maynard paced the offense, going 3-4 with 4 RBIs. The two teams combined for 11 errors, […]
Virginia Tech Hokies
Welcome to the ACC, Virginia Tech (Part II)
One of our most viewed entries of the weekend was this vibrant entry welcoming our land grant bretheren of Virginia Tech into the Atlantic Coast Conference’s landscape. We therefore send you on a quick journey to VPI’s Gobbler Country Blog to witness the evolutionary experience of a fan into the real world. I thought that […]
ACCT Open Thread – Welcome to the ACC, Virginia Tech
N&O’s Joe Giglio: UNC finished the game with 21 attempts from the free-throw line (hitting 15), while VT finished 8 of 11. It’s not like VT took a ton of 3s and the totals were skewed by shot selection. UNC and VT each took 19 3s. And don’t confuse me here, I’m not saying UNC […]
ACC officials embarrass league, spark (Jamie) ‘Luckie’ comeback
If the ACC really wants to claim the “Best college basketball in the country†title, they have to fix their officiating. I won’t even go into some of the calls during the game (it’s a bad sign when both coaches are pissed off at the referees). The calls were bad enough, but they had to […]
Virginia Tech Gameday Thread
For two programs on such dramatically opposite performance arcs, the head-to-head record is startling – the Pack has won 6 games in a row. For Hokie fans, it must be hard to imagine what your program might have accomplished if not for this strange losing streak. I’m sure Seth Greenburg (aka “Basketball Grobe”) would prefer […]
Good Seats Are Still Available to the ACC Title Game (updated)
Heather Dinich of ESPN is reporting that Virginia Tech has sold 3,000 tickets and Boston College just under 2,000 tickets to this weekend’s ACC Title Game in Tampa. This is probably due to two factors: first and foremost, the overall economy has either negatively affected people or if it hasn’t, a lot of folks are […]
The Natives are Restless in Blacksburg
Apparently it isn’t just NC State fans who dare to question the leaders of their athletic department. While NC State’s athletics department has struggled as one of the ACC’s worst overall programs during the last decade, our fans have responded by supporting NC State at record levels. Conversely, Virginia Tech has actually been one of […]
Beamer taking redshirt off Taylor; TOB keeping redshirt on our Glennon (updated 3:04 pm)
Frank Beamer’s decision to redshirt Tyrod Taylor instead of going with the two quarterback system that was successful last season didn’t last long. At his press conference today, Beamer announced that both Sean Glennon and Tyrod Taylor will get snaps going forward. Following Saturday’s upset loss to East Carolina, Beamer announced at his Tuesday news […]
Don’t Look Ethel
When I say that the title was the concluding sentence of a State football preview, I’m sure that some of our younger readers will be left scratching their heads. But before we get to that, here’s how I got to that line: My first exposure to techsideline.com came in 2004 after State beat VT in […]
NCAAT Selection Thread
Naturally, UNC and Duke get cushy draws. Duke won’t play a good team before the Elite Eight. The other teams in their way? All are very weak relative to seed – #3 Xavier, #6 Purdue, #7 West Virginia, #10 Arizona. UNC doesn’t fare quite as well, despite their #1 overall seed. Still, only one decent […]
