Just remembered too, that was the first game I watched 100% on my laptop. For some reason it wasn't on my cable channels and I managed to find a feed online. Was a great coming out game for Nudie (Jalston Fowler -- his alma mater same as mine: Vigor High School). I remember that Ga St kid returning a kick for a TD. And if I'm not mistaken, Star Jackson started that game for Ga St.

I've never met anyone from West Virginia that I thought wasn't a good person.

I agree...the people I've known from WV tended to be intelligent, hard working and very successful...of course that is a small sample. I did ask one why this was so and he said that a lot of the smarter people left the state in order to pursue careers that were unavailable back home.

Anyone remember not too long ago that both of these teams played a brand of football that at least impacted who competed for a national championship and they, themselves, were in on the conversation?

A sad casualty of realignment.

Exactly zero of the Eastern Independents who went on to form the Big East football conference have been able to maintain their success upon joining the ACC or Big 12, as it was in the case of WVU.

Depreciating back to "VPI" and the cusp of getting "Gobbler-stomped" 77-6 by 'Bama, it seems, what with the losses to Old Dominion and WVU. Of course, picking Pry to lead them out of their dark ages renewal was a puzzler to begin with.

VT football has fallen so far from Beamer ball. Packed house to watch them get embarrassed by a mediocre WV team.

What disappointed me the most is how undisciplined Tech was last night. All those penalties - some giving their opponent new life.

The icing on the cake was the targeting penalty with about 4 minutes left. The game was already lost and they do that. It wasn't one of those controversial targeting calls either. It was very purposeful!

I hope they get a handle on that - if not it will be a long year for them.

I'm happy for West Virginia though - they deserved the win.....

This same Tech team lost to ODU so there is that.
