Introducing Your Week 10 Opponent: Virginia Tech Hokies

With less than two one month until kickoff, it’s time to roll through the upcoming FSU schedule with little-known and untrue facts about the Noles’ opponents in 2007. Enjoy.

Well, we’re gonna go ahead and take it easy on the Virginia Tech Hokies, and not just because they had the bad luck to house the most friendly man ever to hand out “pistol kisses” on an American educational campus most insane motherfucker on the planet not residing in Iran, Pakistan, or Washington D.C. (apologies – ed.) making us all Hokies. Truthfully, there’s not much history to work with. The Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University was founded in 1998 by educational philanthropist Michael Dwayne Vick, who served as the University’s President until succeeded by his younger brother, Marcus Deon Vick, in 2002. The football team is coached by an ultra-successful extra terrestrial residing in Frank Beamer’s neck, and a guy named Bud that still brings a lunchbox to work. And the team carries a nonsense-named mascot that is represented by a forest fowl you can lazily hunt with pistols. That’s it- that’s the list.

Oh, and the smartest man in college football picked a team with a new head coach, no offense and no QB to beat the Hokies out in their division. So they got that going for them.

Big Love to whoever lovingly crafted portrait of VT’s second President, then gave it to Deadspin.

Previous Opponents: Clemson, UAB, Colorado, Alabama, NC State, Wake Forest, Miami, Duke, Boston College.
