Second chance in Blacksburg
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
I’ll admit it. I turned off the game last year.
Yep, the 51-7 butt-kicking by the Hokies. I turned it off. As I recall, I muttered a few undesirable words, clicked off the television, and stormed outside. I was furious, embarrassed, and disappointed in our team’s effort.
Once you think we’re heading in the right direction, we take a detour to mediocrity. And it’s always when we have an opportunity to do something special.
I’m not discounting the Auburn and Miami wins. Those were fantastic and special wins. I was in Jordan-Hare stadium last year and witnessed it firsthand. That was the quietest 87,000 people I’ve ever heard (except for us Tech fans, of course).
We’re here again, on the brink of making something special happen in Blacksburg. We have the experience, the playmakers, and the desire to do something special. But will we? Is this finally the year? Do we breakout against VT and win big?
