This here be yr thread for congregatin' and bloviatin', HokieCane-steezy. A scant preview:
Category one: Nebulous Statistical Comparisons of Dubious Validity.
VT: 6-3, 3-2 conference. MIA: 6-3, 3-2 conference. Advantage: Eh?
Category Two: Mascot.
Advantage: Miami. It's a fucking hurricane.
Like a doll's eyes.
Miami, you've been factor'd!
Category Three: Aura.
No Metallica entrance here, not that the Hokies deserve such awesomesauce this year. Advantage: Miami.
Miami, You've Been Factor'd!
Category Four: Names.
VT: Jahre Cheeseman, Alonzo Tweedy, Germond Oatneal. Very Upstairs/Downstairs of you, sirs. Miami: Cannon Smith (yes, of course he's a quarterback), Harland Gunn, which sounds like a Raymond Chandler character if Raymond Chandler wrote about O-linemen. Advantage: VT, but it's close.
Virginia Tech, You've been factor'd!
Grudges? Scores to settle? Sheer cussedness?
Miami's lost two in a row and four of the last five.
Miami, you've been factor'd!
EDSBS FACTOR FIVE FIVE FACTOR PREVIEW SUM: 2-2, which we're calling for Miami owing to VT currently fielding a potted plant at quarterback. Please place your bets for the Hokies accordingly. Bonsoir, boys.
