Rivalry Renewed - #22 West Virginia vs #21 Virginia Tech (ABC, 7:30pm EST)

[TrueOrange]

The Battle for the Black Diamond Trophy is reborn tonight at a neutral site game at FedEx Field.

A both independent and Big East rivalry regularly played starting in 1973, the Mountaineers and the Hokies meet again on the field with almost identical ranked expectations for the first time since 2005 (the Hokies 2nd season after joining the ACC, when a then-#3 Virginia Tech won 34-17).

What are everyone's thoughts on tonight's matchup?

Go Moutaineers!

Though I don't really mind either team. It'll be interesting to see what Fuente can do in year 2.

 

[Madscientistvol]

Go Mountaineers! I'm debating which game tonight to focus on since they stupidly scheduled them at the same time.

 

[MyBloodRunnethOrange]

Probably pull for the Hokies, but really don't care. Probably watch the aTm vs UCLA game

 

[YankeeVol]

How the hell did they think that was caught lol

 

[IluvdoubleD's]

Put me down for the mountaineers. Know nothing about this years team but they should have a lot more fire power.

 

[YankeeVol]

Grier got rocked

 

[rtb1983]

Sadly I think VT wins by double digits

 

[YankeeVol]

Nice grab

 

[JCHateSteve]

Go Hokies. I like those WV matte white helmets though. I've been wanting something like that for the Vols for years now.

Looks like Will Grier brought the Gator offense with him.


They might go for 150 total yards...175 tops.

 

[panhandlevol]

I don't care for Grier but I hate VT with a passion their fans around here are trash. Pulling for WV but it's not looking good so far.

 

[YankeeVol]

Oh Grier.

 

[CoaxialOrange]

Hate VT mostly cause I have to live around all their fans. Go Mountaineers

 

[YankeeVol]

Grier is terrible

Nevermind...I was thinking about that Treon guy.



Grier is the one on the juice; he may be ok.

 

[Orange_Vol1321]

Grier is terrible

He just threw a TD. All FL fans should turn this game off now. Lol

 

[Boston Vol]

Steve Levy is so bad at play by play it's comical.

 

[Orange_Vol1321]

We were rollin on VT by this time in the game last year.

 

[YankeeVol]

That was a nice drive

 

[volfanCLT]

Good game so far

 

[Boston Vol]

Va Tech starting to impose themselves

 

[NorthDallas40]

The L might be silent in the present pronunciation


Edit: lol wrong thread this was supposed to be in aTm UCLA.

 

[Boston Vol]

Va Tech starting to impose themselves

Scratch that

 

[volfanCLT]

Couple nice throws from Grier.

Glad he isn't still at UF
