Game Day Practice
I am staying in Metairie on Route 61 (Airlines Blvd). It is directly across the street from the NO Saints practice facility. Today was Christmas all over again as the Big Blue had their game day practice here.
Needless to say that security was tight however I summoned my MGo-Super Powers and was able to get full view of the practice.
Without divulging anything as top secret (many VT people on this site), Hoke has reached deep into his playbook. One play to note is a half-back pass off the standard set that Fitz was successful to Jeremy and Kevin. Im not sure if this will get into tonight's game but it looked good on paper.
Also Denard looks real good; hitting most of his passes. The extra time has improved his arm 100%. I wish I was in Vegas b/c I would lay a G on Blue.
Big Will was playing inside and Gordon was in the backfield so no real suprises there.
This one might get real ugly, real quick.

I am paying cash for Grad school and my daughter got engaged over the holidays. She is planning a Sept/Oct 2012 wedding so I will have to pay for that (provided she picks an away game date).

Holy cow I got the vapors reading those two facts. Congrats & condolences to your wallet.
January 3rd, 2012 at 4:28 PM ^
Well, lets hope Denard translates onto the field. Two completely different set of circumstances.
January 3rd, 2012 at 4:32 PM ^
I thought to myself, "if Denard played this well in the two geames we lost, we would be playing LSU for the NC next week."
January 3rd, 2012 at 4:44 PM ^
Alabama would probably still play LSU..
January 3rd, 2012 at 6:02 PM ^
So we'd be playing LSU.
January 3rd, 2012 at 6:22 PM ^
But it could've been.

Looking forward to seeing the DL with Campbell starting. If the progress he's supposedly made is true, gonna be a long day for the Hokie O-line.
Assuming the majority of snaps go to Roh-Martin-Campbell-RVB, we'll be averaging 6'5/295 along the line...
January 3rd, 2012 at 4:40 PM ^
We are the Maize and Blue, Go Blue, The Victors, The Victors Valiant, or the Conquering Heros. We have never been 'Big Blue' That is the NY Football Giants.
Thank you,
...that is all...
P.S. WTF is up with "I'm not going to give anything away. Oh, btw the half back pass, yeah that's a total go. Oh and Big Will is going to be playing inside tonight.."
January 3rd, 2012 at 5:26 PM ^
Beamer and Foster.
January 3rd, 2012 at 6:01 PM ^
Know that?
January 3rd, 2012 at 5:03 PM ^
Try not revealing any plays next time.
January 3rd, 2012 at 6:00 PM ^
Are reading MGoBlog 2.5 hours before game time.
January 3rd, 2012 at 6:32 PM ^
But still..try to contain your excitement.
January 3rd, 2012 at 6:31 PM ^
Why would you post a trick play? Please go watch sparty practice next time. There's a reason practices are closed. Doh!
