A view from VT Blog Gobbler Country.
Kind of old but I didn't see it posted.
Gobbler Country:
Spoiler: they pick Michigan.
To add they seem to hate to be called "Vah Tech" from the comment section so use it for good or evil.
OT in my own thread- found this gem on EDSBS. May it get some milage.

Your pic will get some mileage indeed, probably with some captions added.

Although there have been a few new comments lately. Some dude thinks the folks on "mgoblog.com (or whatever that Michigan site is)" are treating " VT like they are playing Eastern/Western/Central Michigan or something." Which like ok whatever.

I don't remember Brian breaking down the tape from any Western games to dissect their offense and defense in near infinite detail.
January 3rd, 2012 at 12:25 PM ^
Yeah, but he broke down Duke (which is probably worse than Western).
It seems like Michigan should be a clear (but not overwhelming) favorite in this game. If you look at Michigan's resume, they haven't really beaten any good teams. Nebraska is OK but may not even be ranked when the final polls come out (and will at least be outside the Top 20). Notre Dame is mediocre at best and Ohio State is a bad team at this point.
On the bright side, Michigan won 10 games against teams that were bowl eligible. Eight of those wins were by 17 points or more. So Michigan played crappy teams all season but at least they handled them well. Virginia Tech played crappy teams all season and struggled at times (getting blown out twice by Clemson).
If Denard doesn't turn the ball over and BWC isn't a major drop off from Heininger, then Michigan should win this game.

Duke has the closest offense to Michigan of any team VT played. So, if anything, he's comparing us to Duke.
January 3rd, 2012 at 3:51 PM ^
Duke's QB, Sean Renfree, rushed for approximately 0 yards this year. Michigan's QB, Denard Robinson, rushed for approximately 1100 yards. I don't think that the offenses were very similar.
Miami (YTM) probably has the offense that is most simiilar to Michigan's. In reality, not may teams were running the Manball / Zone Read / West Coast offense like Michigan this year.

I haven't read the Vah Tech blog yet, but I'll say this...My fear/paranoia level is oscillating between 6 and 7...Putting #11 Vah Tech at a 4 cannot be good karma.

I went back 11 pages and must of missed it and no I didn't use the search (shame) but I did add a damn strong pic to my post.
Caption. "You want to sign with me and Mr Biggesworth don't you *insert recruit name*."

Also, for some reason, Tech fans reacted the same way Ohio fans do to to "Ohio" when TheSabre called them VPI&SU in a game preview. That was baffling, but it might be interesting for those of you in NOLA, if you find yourself conversing with a non-alum Hokie fan, to repeatedly and casually refer to them as VPI and see if it pisses them off.
January 3rd, 2012 at 12:16 PM ^
I don't think VPI pisses people off as much as it is a little old-fashioned, but VPI&SU would be pretty obnoxious. But, there's no rivalry with them, so I don't think many people will care enough to call them that. People unfamilar with VT don't call them Vah-Tech to piss them off.
January 3rd, 2012 at 1:49 PM ^
I honestly don't get it: why would "VPI&SU" be obnoxious? I wouldn't say it, it's too much of a mouthful, but it's the actual name the actual school actually uses on the actual seal. Obnoxious how?
January 3rd, 2012 at 2:05 PM ^
If you say it as a joke, it could get obnoxious. Most people who say VPI aren't doing it in a disrespectful way and nobody says "VPI&SU", so if it's said by a UVA or WVU or some opponent, it's probably meant as a playful joke.
January 3rd, 2012 at 2:40 PM ^
Well, if you don't like to be joked on, don't provide the material yourself, is all I can say.

The original version of the cat photo that the OP photoshopped Urban into was Brian's christmas card. The photo on the back is of Brian snuggling a muppet. Brady Hoke said, "Not so tough."

The Key Play blog also posted their preview.
