Travel safe Bob, and I commend you again for being amongst the diehard Duke football fans.

UVA is 7-4, VT is 4-6 (really hard for me to believe). I guess we want VT to win so we look better than UVA to a bowl selection committee although not sure it really matters even if we get to 8-4. But is that right?

I’ll let the bowl chips fall where they fall. I’m rooting for Virginia.

You are probably going to be disappointed. 14-0 VPI in the 2ndQ. Hokies right now want it more. Take note Devils.

Indeed take note.....it's almost creepy how the bowl thing is exactly reversed from last season when these two teams met. I think Duke is better, but I also think Duke is more injured (Wake's pretty banged up too, both teams hard luck) and I think it will be hard for Duke to match their incentive. 50-50 match up in my mind.

Virginia has awakened. 17-14 VPI.

24-14 VPI. I had no idea Virginia has not beaten the Techsters in 14 straight tries. WOW.

Great 2nd half by Perkins and Virginia, they now lead 28-24 with just minutes to go.

What a game - Tech ties it at 31 with 1:51 to go, fumbling the ball in the end zone and recovering.

Anybody else feel sorry for UVA?

I wouldn’t wish that ending on anybody not wearing baby blue…

To me, growing up in Waynesboro just across the Blue Ridge from Charlottesville, UVA is uNC-Lite. At least there is a "U" there … but in my experience the alumni are almost as condescending. I thoroughly enjoyed that ending.

I'm not really sure what I've done to deserve some of the devastating losses I've endured as a UVA fan

Maybe it’s a character-building exercise?

Not gonna get much sympathy around here......though you will get empathy......as I'm pretty sure Duke leads the universe in agonizing football losses......

I'll echo HereBeforeCoachK... we've felt your pain too many times over the years ourselves.

You could be a Duke fan, too;). We've also suffered some gut-wrenchers.

Edit: We've been back in town a bit over an hour and I just saw HBCK's response.

Oh, and BuschDevil's, too. :o

UVA's loss might could help us....IF we can beat Wake, end up 8-4 vs their 7-5, we could sneak into a Tier One bowl...UVA snatched that one from the jaws of victory, Perkins couldn't be stopped until, like Ademola, he stopped himself. Ouch.

Can we stop and appreciate how the ACC Coastal turned out this year? 6 of the 7 teams are (IMO) basically equally good as each other, the only team that is an outlier in how awful they are is UNC.

and that weak team beat the coastal champ.......and I think was only blown out one time (Miami).

UNC reminded me of some Duke teams that were competitive, but just could not close the deal. There is a lot of talent there, but lots of injuries and really bad coaching.

I always wonder how much better Chazz would have been with Cut coaching him. I bet he wonders that, too.

Go State!!!

Chazz's brother will be one of the best players (WR) Duke will need to stop today.

Yes, Chazz' brother is indeed one of two really good WRs Wake has...and they throw to him a lot - at least in the games I've seen (not a lot).

And yes, I too wonder, if Chazz wonders how he'd be doing under Cut. Certainly he knows DJ, and no doubt always thought he was better than DJ...and now is seeing what DJ is doing with Cut.

Wonder how much of State's team will be suspended for ECU.

/sigh

I don't think "they started it" works with the commish, especially when it comes to the cheaters.

At least they should be back for the bowl game.

Lauren Brownlow on Twitter 1:23 PM - 24 Nov 2018 (https://twitter.com/lebrownlow/status/1066442221124313088):
"There was no fight. Not to my knowledge."
"What would you call it?"
"Their team was celebrating and our team was celebrating."
"What was your team celebrating?"
"My team wasn't celebrating. Their team was celebrating in our end zone...But there wasn't any fight."

Go Marshall!

To the general point about painful losses, I was chatting with a Hokie colleague on Wednesday and remarked that the way we could both really mess up the rest of the season was for us to lose to them (maintaining their streak of wins over UVa for another year and for them, in turn, to lose to Marshall (which is no pushover), thereby ending their bowl streak, all the while paying $300K to do so. :)

We're half way there now.

And would be funny if it happened.

It could indeed....Marshall will have a chip on their shoulder for being played as a patsy...and VT will be coming off emotional game. And Marshall is not bad.....
