I’m about 20 minutes outside of Charlottesville, riding with former esteemed colleague Dave Fairbank of the Newport News Daily Press.
We’ve passed the time talking about Chairman Groh, the fun of Paul Johnson, etc.
When I get to the press box, I’ll start posting some notes.
In the meantime, tell me about your favorite places to go on the road, stadiums, cities, eateries, etc.

Great fake. Doesn’t Paul know he doesn’t have a decent snapper this year? That just cost us the game.

I’m not sure what happened on that fake. Either one guy went the wrong way, or he just dropped the ball and improvised.
It’s really pouring now

Hey don’t complain about the UGA fans being on here. It shows that they admire what we are doing. Welcome Uga. I expect that around 2010 in September you will be wearing a GT jersey calling in to the coaches show telling everyone you have been a fan since the Curry days.

The qb has all day because they’re holding. Good stop with the momentum swing even if they did get 3 on the bounced fg.

That fake point cost us 3 points and got the crowd back in the game. Nesbitt is playing scared now and we are in deep trouble.

Great job Nesbitt. Maybe next year. Same old thing. Big win, get the big head, and then lay a big terd against a mediocre team.

The one thing I will assure all of you. GT will win today. But CPJ will be baffled just like all of us as to why our play suffers in Charlottesville, but the Monkey will be removed today. The weather on the radar looks like it is going to be this messy all game.

Defense with two big stops. Now we switch ends. UVa may try some play-action on this one. first two run plays got nothing.

Nesbitt is a lot of things, but scared isn’t one of them! It’s three quarters to go and lots of time to adjust. Go Jackets!

Biff: Nesbitt has a big head? You must know something nobody else does. He has been pretty level headed since he got the starting job. But I know you are a dawg fan so you know everything football.

Nesbitt is too scared to pitch it now. He has had too many fumbles on the pitch recently and we know he can’t pass. Now he is just going to be selfish and run it himself everytime. I’m glad that Paul said he is finally going to recruit a kicker so we aren’t forced to go for it on 4th down all the time
