I hope that must of you have heard about the new FanCans from Anheuser-Busch. If not, CLICK HERE for an article about them from our friends at TailgatingIdeas.com.
I haven’t seen a can in person yet…but my friend, SmallManParts, is bringing some to the tailgate this weekend. I’m sure the taste will be just the same.
SpitzerTailgate.com is looking forward to the first home game for Virginia Tech this weekend against the Furman Paladins. SpitzerTailgate’s very own vehicle, SANDMAN, will be in attendance and will be unveiled for all people in Blacksburg this weekend. Check us out in the Duck Pond Lot on Saturday morning!
As referenced by the picture above (BCA Classic v. Georgia Tech in 2000; also known as the time that lightning struck Lee Corso’s rental car), it may be a stormy weekend. Hurricane Hanna is still active and will make landfall tomorrow in the Carolinas. Currently, it looks like Hanna might dump some rain on Saturday morning…but that could all change.
Also….by the way….in case you didn’t read the news this week…….TYROD TAYLOR’S REDSHIRT HAS BEEN LIFTED!!!
LETS GO! HOKIES!
Frank Beamer announced today at the weekly press conference that Sean Glennon will be the starting quarterback for this weekend’s game against East Carolina in Charlotte, NC.
It was also stated that Tyrod Taylor will be redshirted “as of today”, according to Beamer. “That is our plan as of today”, Beamer noted during the conference. It will remain to be seen what Glennon will actually be able to accomplish this year.
GO HOKIES!
These updates are coming from Bradley J. of Tyrod-Taylor.com, who is in attedance at today’s scrimmage in Lane Stadium in B’burg. Enjoy!
“Kick returns look good. Tyrod’s been playing with the second team. Macho is not taking reps, other than kick returns.” - Update at 3:58 PM
The following is a post from one of our partner sites, Tyrod-Taylor.com. Enjoy the following commentary from Bradley J.
“I have a tendency to think that I should allow Glennon to start fresh in my mind this season. Thats a tough demand, however because of all the things I remember going wrong…that somehow I have blamed him for. We don’t lose many games overall, but except for 2007 I blame Glennon for most of them. Boston College last year really wasn’t his fault, LSU just out matched and out played us, and Kansas just out prepared and out coached us. So I can’t blame any losses on Glennon from last year, but his first pass of the season was a pick. And, if Tyrod wasn’t started instead of him, he still would be at that mediocre pick throwing level.
Will Sean Glennon step up to new heights as a r-Senior? He certainly played well the second half of last season. The coaches claim that neither Tyrod Taylor nor Glennon can separate themselves from each other and firmly claim a starting position. Doesn’t this beg the question, if Glennon as a r-Senior can’t outplay a t-Sophomore doesn’t that mean he isn’t good enough? Good thing its the coaches decision and not mine; I don’t know what I would do.
If history is speaking, would it mention Glennon’s melt down versus Georgia in 2006? Would it mention his terrible performance against Georgia Tech earlier in the season, putting them up by three scores early? How can I erase these memories of Glennon performing so badly?
I’d like to try, because it seems he’s come around to be a legitimate player. I recall from the past though, football players telling me how pompous Glennon was. Multiple inside sources claimed he acted like a total dick. Well Sean, I’m erasing all of these bad memories; I’m forgetting how you responded to losing the starting job last season; I’m giving you a fresh start in my mind.
In the immortal words of SpitzerTailgate.com - “Sean Glennon….heres to hoping hes not a dbag anymore””
