Ok so this very well might be shorter lived than us taking third but the Hokies are #2 in the ACC my friends! Be prepared for the apocalypse to come! hehehe.. Fear us! We somehow managed to squeak by Miami yesterday and it was a much tighter game throughout than the Wake game. We definitely had a little bit of a let down but managed to be just good enough to beat the Hurricanes on their home court! WOO HOO! Let’s go HOKIES!
My Hokies did it baby! Beat the number one team in the country (Wake Forrest) by playing typical Hokie basketball. Anyone that is under the impression that Virginia Tech Basketball is filled with stars and premier recruits is crazy and knows nothing about Hokie Basketball! Our team beat the #1 team in the land by working their tails off up and down the court and making a ridiculous amount of baskets. Though making baskets was not how we won. One of the things that is truly great about my team is the amount of hustle they put into a game. We’ve lost five games, and with the exception of the Duke game, we lost all five by a total of under 10 points. We work hard and we play tenacious defense. Wake Forrest couldn’t buy a basket without having to plow through a trench of Hokie D! Read the rest of this entry »
Well my Hokies somehow managed to win the Orange bowl with one of the worst offenses I’ve seen in a long time. I somehow managed to stay awake for it all despite a horrible, horrible head cold. Something about listening to a television that’s 5 feet away from you and it sounding like it’s across town that makes football far more interesting. Too many times did I say “What did he say?”

Barring UVA being in a bowl game I have to say the only way I’ll cheer against an ACC school is if they are playing an Academy. Having grown up as an Army brat I will forever hold a special place for the Academies and in sports it is no different. Today Navy plays Wake Forrest and though I want the ACC to have a successful bowl season (and somehow make it appear we were better than people gave us credit this year) all I have ot say is
GO NAVY!
Go figure that sitting the rattled second year QB and letting him observe the game being played may have actually improved his chances of playing the game well! Tavarus Jackson, dare I say, looked GOOD yesterday. I had that little knot in my stomach when he started running plays but it never really came to be. Am I saying everything is happy in the state of purple and gold…..well no…but things are looking up! Go Vikings!
As for the rest of the league it seems things just aren’t going to settle. Both NY and Ten. lost yesterday and will play for the out right 1st place next weekend. It’s looking like the NFL may have take a page from the ACC playbook and is playing the who wants to back into the championship the least sort of competition. Gotta love it.
