Put down the clipboard

Sunday 14 September 2008

295.jpg Since I have been living out of a Honda Accord for two weeks I haven’t really had time to comment on the Hokies. Let’s quickly review: Tyrod tossed his red shirt, we were a two quarterback system, we beat Furman (I still have no idea who or what they are),  then we made Tyrod our full-time starter, then we took away the clipboard from Glennon, then we beat Georgia Tech. I see some correlation here.

Granted Tyrod has some things to work out… he overthrows his recievers and throws a bit hard at times, but he also can run at will and turn what would be a certain Glennon sack/fumble/bowl collapse in to a decent play.

So the happy feet antics of Glennon seem to be out of our hair for now and I couldn’t be more happy. Don’t let announcers remind you of how good he was in key games (except those “minor mistakes” of 3 INT for every TD) and only look forward. I know that Glennon is one of the strongest players on the team and apparently he’s a great guy, but I can’t confidently watch the Hokies play with him at the helm.

I tend to hold grudges for a long time and will never forget when someone crosses a line that I don’t approve of. I haven’t forgotten the Georgia bowl game of two years ago and the epic collapse manifested by Glennon. In my mind he lost his job from that day forward. He should be lucky he got to play as much has he did in 2007 and understand the decision to go with Tyrod. In Rod We Trust.
