    How the heck is harlem better than Washington, D.C., the nation’s capital and most powerful city in the world? (according to the Wizards’ announcer)

  • Dave Woods

    Where do you get this stuff? What does Biz Markie have to do with the Hokies? Its funny because its stupid. Pure inane jackass gold. Gold, Jerry, gold.

    I gotta go with Niemo on the DC vs Harlem tip. I’m givin that one to Sid. But hey its your world dog. Oh. Snap.

  • Niemo

    Uh, Davey, Biz Markie has nothing to do with the Hokies. It is called “Celebrity Look-a-like Showdown”. Not “Guy for the other team that looks like a Hokie”. Biz Markie is a celebrity and therefore qualifies.

    Clearly we need to do a better job going over this stuff in our staff meetings.

    I thought we fired Davey after he missed the uva game?

    This site would be nowhere without my dedicated hyphenating and insightful blogging!

    I would have thought Ice Cube made the best celebrity matchup but I guess since we aren’t playing on Friday….

  • Niemo

    Rockfish – To be fair, Biz Markie looks more like Sidney Lowe than Ice Cube does.

    Almost two years later, I am sitting here in my fabulous cubicle chuckling heartily with a tear in my eye. That is some funny stupid sh… stuff. The pictures alone are hilarious.

Who wants their name to appear in front of the next Hokie Breakdown? Just imagine it:

 

The Ron Mexico Breakdown | VT 130, duke 21

 

Jon King, Ben Floyd and Dan Rickenbach all got in on the action and we encourage all TechHoops heads to do the same.

 

Any donation amount earns you a spot in our Wild Hokie Club. We'll even give you a shout out on Twitter and Facebook. We may even let you get armcurled by Niemo.

 

No promises, but we may also try to organize an annual Wild Hokie Club gathering where you can meet and mingle with the guys that run the site.
