Clemson and the Hokies are set to battle Saturday evening.  The second trip to a ‘Death Valley’ stadium this season and the first one was depressing to say the least. 

I believe the Hokies can win this game.  If for no other reason than our defense.  With that said, at some point the offense has to get going.  And that point is this weekend.  It seems as if we are one catch here, or one block there from breaking games open but then we stall. 

Tyrod Taylor has shown some indecision between running and passing and has missed some passes but that’s to be expected with a true frosh qb.  The more alarming and disappointing play has been with the rushing game.  With a true freshman qb, a solid and consistent run game takes so much pressure of the quarterback.  We haven’t had that.  Branden Ore has not had the stellar year that made him all ACC.  The offensive line isn’t holding thier blocks, or even getting to them in some cases.  The quarterback has the longest rush of the season I believe at 20 yards.  This from a Va Tech Virginia Tech team (the media guide insists that we be referred to as Virginia Tech)???

I’ll put it like this, despite the embarassing defeat to LSU, with the past weekend of upsets, the National Championship is indeed still up for grabs.  The Hokies win out their season and they can have a their hands in the fray. . . . .

Have you ever noticed historically how many smart people go crazy?  Maybe not clinically crazy but they seem a bit off most of the time.  For awhile, I thought that their smartness was at the expense of social skills…..alas for the first time in history I may be wrong.  Although by knowing I’m wrong, I’m still right.  In any case, I figured out that with so many dumbasses in the world, smart people can’t help but go crazy!  Think how often you’ve watched somebody do something stupid and been at your wit’s end trying to figure out the whys for stupidity.  Well imagine, just imagine, if you were smarter than 99% of the population!  Everybody is doing stupid, and you’ve lost the patience and brain capacity to deal with it (after all your capacity is full of smart people stuff).  There’s only one way for your mind to go….crazy, off in your own smart world where there’s a stupid force field which allows you to defend yourself from the evils of stupiditydom.

The city of Duluth, Ga is considering an ordinance to include English signs along with foreign language signs for foreign businesses.  The sad part is that it has gotten to the point where emergency personnel may respond to a situation and have no idea what type of business they are dealing with.  You would think the issue would be the other way around, adding foreign languages to signs for immigrants so they would have an easier time of it…..
