PLAY STATION HELPS MIAMI PREP FOR BLACKSBURG

Kayne's been to Blacksburg. We've played "White Cliffs of Dover" in front of thousands.

Miami receiver Kayne Farquharson has plenty of experience playing in Blacksburg against Virginia Tech. Hell, he can even control the weather there, since the only time he's played there is a as a participant in a game of PlayStation football.

Farqurharson, who has never played a game at Virginia Tech, said he has a pretty good idea of what to expect Saturday from playing the video game NCAA Football 08 on Playstation. He feels it's just as intense when playing on the road in cyber games against the Hokies.

"I got an idea," Farqurharson said. "On the Playstation, you got home-field advantage. You press L2 [button] against the team and the joystick will rattle. The screen will shake. … The joystick vibrates. They scream hard. They scream real hard. That's the closest I've been to Blacksburg."

This could explain so much about Miami's offense this season...someone grab Patrick Nix's playbook, stat! If our theory is true, the audible calls should be something like "LEFT STICK D-PAD UP CHECK!" For variation, we imagine they toggle back and forth between XBox and PS3 setups.

Also, if this qualifies as experience, we've got vast experience at the following jobs: professional guitarist, ping-pong player, mercenary-for-hire, assassin, government operative, Italian plumber, zombie slayer, charismatic Sim, builder of cities and entire civilizations, and as defender of humanity against a cruel race of unstoppable parasitic aliens. Oh, and as the Heisman-winning qb for the six-time NCAA champion Middle Tennessee State Blue Raiders. Not many men can throw for fifty TDs and run for 40 more in a season, but we're not normal, people.

@12-
Gotta be the most obnoxious fans i have been around. Not all of them, of course, but a few bad apples can sure ruin the bunch in my book. It’s the blatantly stupid ones that believe they are the best team on earth and the best school on earth and that their women don’t have lots of VD, which we all know all 3 of these aren’t always true… Most of these fans are the ones that didn’t even go to school there.
Just a personal opinion.
I do hear that Alabama fans are pretty horrible, too, but that is a whole ’nother thread-jack right there…

I just have a problem with people claiming such huge allegiance to college teams from schools with which they have no affiliation whatsoever. Did you go there? Your kids? Father play there? Met your wife at a bar on that campus? No? THEN PICK A TEAM IN THE FUCKING NFL AND GO CHEER FOR THEM!!! Don’t glom on to a good program just because they are local, that is just too impish for me, and a little too bandwagon’eer for me, also. You never see a bunch of rednecks driving around with stickers on their trucks supporting a shitty local team because they’re the closest, but there is never a shortage of white vans or other hoopties riding around with stickers and logos from their closest winning program.
Shit- the high school near my home is undefeated this year, and there’s nothing like high school football, but you don’t see me plastering my car with their stickers do you? No, I didn’t go there and I rightfully don’t give a shit.
…but they do have some fierce talent on the cheerleading squad…

Terry… fair enough as I think that applies to every school’s bandwagon non-associated fans. There are a lot of Hokies around though… we’ve got something like 200,000 living alumni, plus the assorted children and parents, etc etc. And just in case you were wondering I am a bonafide VT alum. I’d say my fanhood is intense, but not obnoxious. I travel to a lot of away games so I appreciate being treated well as a visiting fan and I do my best to return the favor when folks visit Lane Stadium.

I can’t find the mention of it, but I read once that a, I think Dutch, kid who had previously only used microsoft flight simulator to learn how to operate a 747 successfully tookoff and landed the real simulator (essentially the real thing) when given the chance. So who knows, maybe that shit works.

Hokies-
You seem to get my point, that all teams have some douche-nozzels for fans, mostly their non-alumnae fanbase. I can’t say that any school is immune to that, except maybe Hawaii residents or Alaska State University, if such a thing exists- that’s not bandwagonning, that’s just a lack of options.
I would have to say, though, that despite the legit population of Hokie nation, there are far too many emmigrants into the Hokie nation locally and they seem to be the most obnoxious that I have encountered in a long time. Va Tech and WVU are just as bad, just for diffferent reasons. Also really mind-numbingly idiotic are Alabama, Texas, LSU, and any Big East team’s fans that just started loving their local schools despite never stepping foot on their campus- or even worse, those Big East alum who never went to a game or owned any fan gear until the last couple years. Just like all the fucking ass-rape-horrible Boston fans lately…

Bull-Gator,

I saw that picture over a year ago and it’s haunted me ever since. I mean, it was sad enough that someone designed that costume for a video game character, but sad doesn’t even approach the amount of pity I feel for the kid who thought it was so cool he had to wear it.

Terry, I don’t think that idiot fans can be isolated to the Southeast or the Big East. Nor can it be attributed to those “undesirables” who never went to the school. To be honest, I found that these local fans are some of the best at VT. Just because they didn’t attend doesn’t mean they can’t be great fans or have to go root for the NFL. Unfortunately, most of the worst fans I’ve encountered or heard about are the students. However, that is the case everywhere. Twenty-year olds and loads of alcohol are bad combinations.
