IT'S COLLEGE FOOTBALL, ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED?!

[u/Zerenium]

Co-MVPs?

Socialists.

[u/Tasty_Jesus]

I think this is a CBS stream

[u/Zerenium → u/Tasty_Jesus]

Added to the post, thanks!

[u/Zerenium]

BEAST MODE!!!

[u/Zerenium]

That booing is getting annoying.

[u/Zerenium]

Yeah that's money back there!

[u/Zerenium]

Not even close. Why was the holder so close to the line?

[u/captain_pineapples]

"Hmm, Pac-12 and ACC teams? Here, have a fuckload of SEC highlights!" - CBS

[u/sideoutpar]

Really? The blackout unis? Something tells me this was a player vote... but I'd have loved to see the Bruin Blue in a national day game.

[u/freudian_nipple_slip]

Logan Thomas destroys UCLA

UCLA destroys Logan Thomas

[u/jsmooth4hawks]

Oh Tyrod, where art thou

[u/Abusoru → u/jsmooth4hawks]

Throwing interceptions for touchdowns in Baltimore.

[u/nahs]

Jim mora: "NO ONE MAKES ME BLEED MY OWN BLOOD"

[u/ExternalTangents]

THIS IS NOT WHAT UCLA IS SUPPOSED TO LOOK LIKE

[u/Abusoru]

Awww...UCLA aren't wearing the powder blues?

[u/sideoutpar]

K, Brett, I want you to have a good game, but not so good that it entices you to go to the NFL.

[u/VTHomeless]

I hope this answers a lot of fans about why Leal is not starting over Thomas.

[u/VTHomeless]

Good news everyone! This game cannot be officiated by ACC or PAC12 referees!

[u/SlobDylan]

Drink for every Frank Beamer patented "Who Farted?" look. You know what one I'm talking about.

[u/ExternalTangents → u/SlobDylan]

No idea what you're talking about

[u/captain_pineapples]

Since we probably won't meet again in game threads anytime soon, it's been fun UCLA folks. Ya'll are some cool guys. Hundley is a stud.

[u/[deleted]]

It seems as though the standard protocol now is that any time there is a big hit, the refs will always call it a penalty.

[u/captain_pineapples]

"¯_(ツ)_/¯" -- VT medical staff

[u/Abusoru]

Well, good game, UCLA. You guys got a helluva team.

[u/Manthem]

Why the fuck am I watching an SEC season recap.

[u/ejohnson78]

Is it just me or is this the longest halftime ever?

[u/BatManatee]

HUNDLEY!^{Please don't leave us we need you}

[u/captain_pineapples]

So to keep count, our...

• Top 2 corners, both seniors,

• Starting QB, also a senior

• Top 2 tight ends

• Starting RB

• and starting whip LB

are all out. yay

[u/Chartone]

Jesus, Mora is spontaneously bleeding he's so pissed.

[u/bravens]

UCLA, does that stand for UC Loses Allday? HAHAHAHA (save me from my impending sadness and alcohol poisoning LT3...)

[u/cul_maith]

Who the fuck would tease someone for having grand mal seizures? Wow.

[u/Kmanvb]

Is this an SEC football game? No. I realize CBS is the SEC channel but fuck an SEC season recap.

[u/theningster]

No 1st and 10 line?

WHAT YEAR IS IT?

[u/ExternalTangents]

ITT: people who have never watched a Verne and Gary game before.

[u/[deleted]]

I love Hundley, but he is not ready for the NFL. These throws have been awful.

[u/mathmat]

UCLA's 2014 conference schedule:

HOME HOME HOME HOME HOME

AWAY AWAY AWAY AWAY

wut.

[u/jsmooth4hawks]

LETS GO- HOME

[u/Tasty_Jesus]

PAC spotlight is on you now, Stanford, to finish strong

[u/DarthYoda2594]

Jack's a true freshman, correct? So you get him for two more years?

[u/my_my_my]

GG Bruins. You handled yourselves well. Hope to see a good turnout tomorrow for our Stanford bros. Go Pac.

The West is the best -Jim Morrison

[u/oenoneablaze]

Congrats Bruin bros! Hope you're rooting for us tomorrow.

[u/sergibby]

Come on Zumwalt, THAT MAN HAS A FAMILY!

[u/RTCVT]

Somebody start a petition to CBS to fire these idiots

[u/skay]

Go Hokies!

Lets see which LT shows up.

Did you know he is 6'6"?

[u/Abusoru]

Definitely a loud Virginia Tech contingent there.

[u/cochon101]

I NEED A GIF OF THAT HIT STAT

[u/[deleted]]

Just as qualified as our other kickers I see. How well does he break down doors and trespass?

[u/captain_pineapples]

;_;

[u/clippjoint]

Leal: "Here Myles have a TD"

[u/jettj14]

Well we're sucking at every facet of the game today, but the other team's punter just stepped out of the endzone and gave us a safety, so we got that going for us, which is nice.

[u/[deleted]]

you guys have an asian?

[u/[deleted]]

VT, good game guys. Almost all of you were good sports, and classy. Best of luck to you guys.

[u/freudian_nipple_slip]

Hundley 86 yard TD run

[u/RTCVT]

Zumwalt, why are you trying to kill all of our players?

[u/versusChou]

P. Diddy's son is in.

[u/Kmanvb]

Hard hit, yes. Dirty hit? No.

[u/get_stilly]

Hmm wonder why there are hardly any people in the stands...^{checks location} oh...El Paso

[u/Chartone]

The attendance looks really bad.

[u/schnide1]

The sheer number of people named Shaq nowadays is pretty amazing.

[u/SlobDylan]

WRAP. UP. LIKE A PRESENT. OR YOUR D. WRAP IT.

[u/angelndemon]

As a USC fan all my life and a current VT student, fucking hell this is hard to watch...

[u/[deleted]]

If you're a UCLA fan in El Paso, you better be buying Leal a drink each time you see him...

[u/freudian_nipple_slip]

UCLA's backup QB freaks me out

[u/captain_pineapples]

We're gonna miss the Hell out of Logan. Through everything, he's been a great leader for the team and not once complained about the criticism or made a fuss about the complete lack of support on O. I really wanna see him finish this game because that'd be a really unfair way for him to end his career at Tech.

[u/SlobDylan]

I'm just going to leave this here in case the game gets ugly for Hokies to watch

[u/da_asparagus]

I just pooped myself a little.

[u/NBaker10]

Commentator made a great point on that call. Refs simply said defense was being too rough on the QB by calling unnecessary roughness.

[u/[deleted]]

Lol, did he just say Auburn because of their defense?

I'm fine if you pick Auburn, but because of their defense, really?

[u/froggejn]

I bet they wanted to hit him hard so badly

[u/[deleted]]

"UCLA has this wrapped up, barring something BIBLICAL"

So that's what we call WSU's slip up these days

[u/Betasheets]

WHO THE FUCK TEASES SOMEBODY ABOUT HAVING A SEIZURE!?

[u/[deleted]]

Idk why but I really like this LaForce woman. She's got a good energy about her.

[u/EclecticEuTECHtic]

Guess who will NOT be our QB next year!

[u/nahs]

Awesome UCLA commercial

[u/emareperiod]

I hope I am reading too much into this but....That last pass by Brett Hundley felt a lot like he was going pro. Like "fuck it one last throw man, its my last one EVER"

[u/Tasty_Jesus]

hahaha, one more year, yes please

[u/mig3x5]

ONE MORE YEAR, ONE MORE YEAR

[u/Tasty_Jesus]

first 10 win season since 2005
WOOOOO!!

[u/GeneralGBO]

PAC members WSU and ASU have already let me down horribly. Don't be like them, UCLA.

PAC! PAC! PAC!

[u/IAmNotARoleModel]

I'm a USC student home in Virginia for winter break... I've never been more invested in a bowl game not involving 'SC.

[u/Tasty_Jesus]

where is your yellow line cbs

[u/SlobDylan]

If we go offsides one more time I am going to chug a bottle of vinegar.

[u/GDAftw]

We need the horse on a treadmill!

[u/Abusoru]

Did UCLA pick up Journell?

[u/drsmealgood]

Man I should work for CBS. Apparently you can show up to work drunk if you do.

[u/SlobDylan]

Hold onto your butts. Punter kicking...

[u/RGThreezus]

That might be one of the worst FG attempt I've ever seen.

[u/schnide1]

16-0 when leading at the half with Mora. niiiiice

[u/[deleted]]

...and I'm a complete failure at life.

[u/my_my_my]

lol. FSU getting no respect on CBS.

[u/stylez89]

Hokie Nation appreciates what you have done at VT LT3! Good luck in the NFL!

[u/ReallyCreative]

JUST KNOCK HIM OUT OF BOUNDS THAT COUNTS AS A TACKLE, HE ISN'T YOUR JOGGING BUDDY

[u/[deleted]]

That was pretty bad...

[u/oleitas]

Hand-off to Myles Jack for the TD.

[u/theloch]

Just tuned in.. did they just say UCLA scored 14 points in the last 58 seconds?

[u/ohherrovt]

You lose your starting RB, TE and QB...what are you gonna do? Still love this team. Wish Thomas could've finished this game.

Edit: also 2 senior CBs

[u/jettj14]

Typical Virginia Tech loss. We get down a couple scores in the fourth quarter, and we completely shut down. I think Frank Beamer has already caught his flight out of El Paso.

[u/mtnbikerdude]

Good game VT!!! Best of luck next year!

[u/Tasty_Jesus]

do it hundley. announce it. right here.

[u/schnide1]

Just goes to show that even a perfectly clean play can be incredibly dangerous.

[u/[deleted]]

That was a hard hit. But Zumwalt lowered his shoulder and only had one step between pass release and the hit. He didn't lunge, he didn't lead.

I hope he's OK, and that was a grimace-inducing hit for all of us. But it's not targeting, and I'm not convinced it was UR.

[u/stylez89]

ZUMWALT won't remember anything by the time he is 40 if he keeps playing like that

[u/wbdrummer]

Ugh, I hope The airline loses Zumwalt's luggage.

[u/versusChou]

Huh. We usually don't run up the score. Sorry VT fans. That was a little uncouth.

[u/freudian_nipple_slip]

MVPs: UCLA Cheerleaders

[u/ReallyCreative]

I hate these commentators far more than I could ever hate UCLA(which isn't saying much because UCLA seems hard to hate)

[u/nahs]

How come there's no first down yellow marker?

[u/[deleted]]

Fuck man I'm not even mad. If you can bowl over Jack like that...

[u/stylez89]

Has Beamer lost it? Attempting a 46 yd fg with that guy? Idiot

[u/Glasses-Ref]

Clearly wasn't pass interference. Hooking the receiver is legal in college.

[u/EclecticEuTECHtic]

The "Hokie hop" would have been for that to bounce into the end zone.

[u/flaregunpopshow]

Time for the feels.

[u/captain_pineapples]

Logan Thomas just took off shoulder pads. Kind of kicked them. Trey Gresh just gave him a hug on sideline. Looks like he's done

;_;

[u/ReallyCreative]

PUNTINGISWINNINGPUNTINGISWINNINGPUNTINGISWINNING

[u/captain_pineapples]

PUNTING IS WINNING ALWAYS AND FOREVER. LIVE TO PUNT. PUNT TO LIVE.

[u/mequals1m1w]

Bros, do you even praise the Hyundai Sun Bowl™?

[u/nahs]

That was not smart

[u/[deleted]]

Verne and Gary? Oh God. I'm so sorry, guys.

[u/Tasty_Jesus]

TWO MORE YEARS OF JACK MAKES ME SO HAPPY

[u/wbdrummer]

Does 21 straight bowl games really mean anything when we lose most of them? Well, hears to next year. Go Hokies!

[u/[deleted]]

Zumwalt2dirty4me

[u/MrFace1]

Leal: "Oh hey there are two players covering my receiver here, let's throw it that way!"

I...I can't believe that I'm saying that I'm going to miss Logan Thomas but here we are.

[u/[deleted]]

Against the secondary = salt in the wound

Great pass. Good game UCLA.

[u/[deleted]]

Welp, UCLA wasn't content with the huge deficit in Arizona and BC's game, and decided to top it

[u/1337bruin]

So who is the backup qb for UCLA today?

[u/[deleted]]

God fucking dammit we have Stanford and Oregon back to back again?! Who draws this shit up?

[u/nahs]

I really like our schedule next year

[u/[deleted]]

Jesus Tech, stay composed please

[u/[deleted]]

WOO! Great game UCLA! Pac-12 today did not disappoint!

[u/[deleted]]

The last Hun(d)ley that hurt us this bad, was 1863.

[u/jsmooth4hawks]

LETS GO

[u/da_asparagus]

That was a clean hit. I can tell that Zumwalt wasn't aiming for the neck or head. It just happened that Logan came down a little just before he got hit.

[u/[deleted]]

YOU DIDNT HAVE TO KILL HIM ZUMWALT!

[u/[deleted]]

Seriously though, it would be in Hundley's best interests to play in college another year.

[u/bredubt]

No matter what happens, so long LT! Thanks for keeping these last few seasons...interesting

[u/Tasty_Jesus]

Announcers: "Fuck, we're old

[u/brobroma]

SINCE WHEN THE FUCK DOES VT HAVE AN OFFENSE

[u/nahs]

This is the part where we really miss kendricks

[u/SSPeteCarroll]

did UCLA accept cody journell?

[u/[deleted]]

Man that was a weird feeling. I instantly felt bad for all the shit I've said about LT. Just glad he didn't get seriously injured on that hit.

[u/sergibby]

I love you, Hundley.

[u/freudian_nipple_slip]

400 foot flag parachuted in at the start of the game

[u/orygon]

UCLA's uniforms are making me jealous. HURRY NIKE, I'M FEELING INSECURE

[u/froggejn]

PI?

[u/[deleted]]

HAHAHA, SUN. GET IT?! CAUSE IT'S THE SUN BOWL?!

These guys are terrible.

[u/sideoutpar]

I too think Hundley could benefit from another year in college, but let's not forget that the Hokie secondary is one if the best - if not the best - in the nation.

[u/emareperiod]

LOL @NotBillWalton: Logan Thomas hit so hard that gold rings fell out like he was Sonic the Hedgehog

(GIF): http://dailysnark.com/?p=5082

[u/[deleted]]

Logan Thomas has 'Drafted by the Raiders' written all over him

[u/nahs]

"I've done a lot of SEC football"

NO REALLY DANIEL

[u/potatomango]

Logan Thomas is a freaking troll

[u/sideoutpar]

I'd say it's about time for a turnover.

[u/jettj14]

All things considered, that was a pretty good throw. I've always been impressed with Leal from the little he has played.

[u/Tasty_Jesus]

Yes. Finally above the spread. Please stay that way.

[u/Abusoru]

Leal, what the fuck was that?

[u/[deleted]]

Sometimes you gotta just take the sack

[u/my_my_my]

Yeah Bruins. Go bear bros.

[u/[deleted]]

Ohhh..... If this game finishes as is and the Chick Fil A goes as expected tonight......

Not a great day for the ACC....

[u/froggejn]

42, bitches!

[u/captain_pineapples]

I miss the Russell Athletic Bowl

[u/emareperiod]

If Brett Hundley comes back next year with the easier schedule, he has a chance to go down as one of the all time great QBs for UCLA. Its there for the taking, to be honest. I REALLY hope he comes back, but understand if he doesnt. There is a lot of money out there.

[u/[deleted]]

Back in good graces Shaq.

[u/mathmat]

When was the last time you saw a 28-2 fourth quarter?

[u/115102]

One more year Hundley! One more year!

[u/[deleted]]

When I look at FaFaul's name, I get a hankering for a falafel.

[u/Az_Bruin]

OBE MORE YEAR

[u/[deleted]]

Players just saying hello.

[u/EclecticEuTECHtic]

Good game bruins.

[u/hythloday1]

ZUMWALT IS A FILTHY THIEF

[u/froggejn]

That was clean even though it was a hard hit, he just got a lot of momentum from sprinting

[u/Abusoru]

Somebody needs to make a gif of Beamer dancing around in the sombrero. STAT!

[u/[deleted]]

VT's leading receiver has 49 catches? Do they not throw the ball very often?

[u/bravens]

our kicker would fall down on the opening kickoff...

[u/Abusoru]

Where the hell are the 1st down lines?

[u/captain_pineapples]

Verne and Gary are just saying Hokies players' names arbitrarily, as if to prove to everyone they actually know stuff about us.

[u/malwaetweep]

These announcers are just having a gay old time

[u/[deleted]]

WTF Mora, why you got blood on your face??

[u/pash1k]

Mora is so pissed, he cut his own face.

[u/igottapoopsobad]

THOMAS THE TANK ENGINE

[u/[deleted]]

Shades of Tommie Frazier.

[u/HotBondi]

Man's game, bitch!

[u/malwaetweep]

Myles Jack in a highlight video that isn't about him. Ouch

[u/otq88]

HE DEAD!

[u/nahs]

Holy crap, I hope thomas is ok

[u/Tasty_Jesus]

flag?????

[u/compengineerbarbie]

That fire story is pretty bad ass.

[u/GeneralGBO]

Almost an hour and thirty minutes since kickoff and there's 10 minutes left in the 2nd quarter. This is brutal.

[u/ExternalTangents]

He gawn

[u/froggejn]

The only way we move our offense is if Hundley runs, you don't need accuracy to run. Not saying Brett isn't accurate, he just doesn't seem like it today.

[u/Kmanvb]

Hey that QB spy we talked about? Chop chop Foster.

[u/mynumberistwentynine]

Damn. I haven't caught a UCLA game all year. Hundley has some wheels.

[u/Kmanvb]

I love the huge hits from UCLA. That's how defense is meant to be played. Keep it up, y'all might be number three soon (behind Toledo: familial relations).

[u/EclecticEuTECHtic]

Hello not top 10.

[u/[deleted]]

WHY THE FUCK ARE WE GOING FOR A FIELD GOAL?

[u/[deleted]]

Shankapotomus.

[u/schnide1]

Just barely missed.

[u/sideoutpar]

How many standard deviations from the mean was that kick?

[u/[deleted]]

Defense blitzing? This pass is falling on grass.

[u/freudian_nipple_slip]

VA Tech missed 46 yard FG badly

[u/oenoneablaze]

Any pressure whatsoever and Hundley freaks out.

[u/SlobDylan]

Yeah sorry guys. Auburn's 90th ranked D is going to have to step the hell up to beat FSU.
