Ladies and gentlemen it's a crisp September Saturday and that means it's a Hokie game day. Today's match up is another softy one with Arkansas State (1-1) traveling to Lane Stadium. Before we write this game off, perhaps we (and the Hokies team) would be wise to recall the losses to such lowly teams early on in the season that have seemed to plague the Hokies like interns in Bill Clinton's office. After a scary tilt last week with the Conference USA East Carolina Pirates, Virginia Tech (2-0) will be looking to come out swinging so as to avoid any question of victory by halftime. Arkansas State plays in arguably the worst conference in the Bowl Subdivision (FBS), the Sunbelt Conference, and the Hokies showed only minor effort in beating the only other Sunbelt school they have played in the last 5 years (Western Kentucky). I'm sure Frank Beamer had a thing or two to say to the team this past week after a so-so showing in Greenville. look for an aerial attack early with freshman quarterback Logan Thomas serving as the favorite weapon until the lead is established. If any of you lucky boys and girls are heading out to the game, be sure to shoot me some comments and let me know what you saw in person. Most of the other games today are pedestrian but I will go ahead and make a fool of myself by picking the winners in the 5 best games of the day. If you have other ideas, be sure to let me know. Now go grab a beer, fire up the grill and get ready to soak in some much needed Saturday Football. Go Hokies!
