Even losses provide winners. And for the first time I’ve known him, the DiP actually did something right.
His 24-20 prediction was the closest, despite not picking the winner. We give no points to picking the winner. Unless you pick Tech.
So for Mr. DiP, the Trophy of Awesomeness is his. This week’s trophy? Well, despite his family having invented it, he’ll be taking home a lifetime supply of the greatest candy ever…
C Gally: 42-10, double-digit sacks for the defense
The DiP: 31-13, Marshall’s offense outscores ours
Wright: 30-17, might closer, but the Marshall players will likely smoke up in the locker room pregame with an Ode to Pennington
Maniak: 23-10
Poppa Gally: 21-7, 1 blocked kick, 1 punt return for a touchdown
The Northerner: 34-3, two TDs by our defense – one being by Virgil on a turnover; 30+ yard TD run by Williams; red zone scramble/QB sneak for TD by Tyrod; and then two field goals. Book it.
B-Dubs: In accordance with Marshall law, the Thundering Herd will stampede their way into an angry Lane Stadium. Not knowing what to do they will call Byron Leftwhich to save the day andrealize that he is still just a mediocre QB. Hopes deflate, the Hokies win 42-3.
The CMU Football Analyst: 34-20, Tech wins the Battle of the Sleepy College Towns.
Meet Bag: 30-10
G Way: 41-7 in an offensive explosion that will trick us into thinking the offense might be improving until we get to next week against Nebraska, where we just rely on the D again.
Kyle, the Hokie Ambassador to Africa: 37-10
The Bull: Ryan Williams = 18, Virginia Tech Kicker Matt Waldron = 9, Marshall = 10. Hokies win 27-10.
Bobby the Ginger: Bryan Stinespring finds out that his playbook contains more pages than “See Spot Run” and the Hokies score 30 offensive points. Final score Hokies 37-10.
