The canes are back!

Under the Hokies heel where they belong. I guess the arse whipping some of the Cane fans on here were looking for got reversed. I could see this one coming all week with the ESPN love orgy for Miami, the Canes jumping VT in the polls, and the embarrassment of the O being the butt (rightly so) of the commentators jokes covering the Nebraska game. As for now the ACC still goes through Blacksburg and most had seemed to have forgotten that 4 of the 5 ACC titles since ACC expansion have included the Hokies.

I for one am glad VT won. It makes the Bama beating seem even better!

Now for the Canes to put a whipping on those Sooners!! Plus it looked like the Tide really rolled the Hogs today!!

They did in the 2nd half, the 1st half was a really tight game

But Mallet looked very average today, not like he did last week

The Bama D is a lil bit better than UGA tho, VT fans agree I'm sure lol

No doubt the best D that VT will face all season hands down.

ACC titles?? lol
Like I told Shoe when he hit my cell to rib me a bit. Someday when my young son's elderly grandson is sitting around watching the evolution of TV to whatever he'll be watching,and the Hokies win that 1st national title-EVEN if Miami NEVER wins another by then,Tech will only still be a handful behind THE U. Best of luck winning the ACC Championship,but it means nada (about like winning the Cumberland Distric). Tech de-pantsed Miami today (props to them). That happens from time to time,but I've seen Miami do their share of that to folks over the years,and they have the only hardware in the 'ol trophy case that REALLY matters,and they've got plenty of 'em

And by then no one will even remember the Canes even won one if they never win another. If it's any consolation I'll be pullin for them next Saturday night.

Hats off to VT, they wanted it more. I was there all weekend, and word I got from some of our crew that met up w/the team at their hotel in Roanoke was that the team looked intense, but not really focused. I got the same vibe from the Miami fans I met up with all weekend, like they were all looking past this game. Looks like the team did the same thing. The weather certainly didn't help things either BUT--as I said to people who said that, both teams had to play in it.

You have to remember, for the juniors/seniors that are playing for Miami, 53 out of the 80 kids on the roster are freshmen/sophomores. I'd say that our youth, for all it's precocious talent, still has it's disadvantages of being inexperienced. Even besides that, in the past few years--Miami is prone to having a big let-down after winning big games--beat FSU/GT, lose to VT. Last year it was beat VT at home, go up to GT and get spanked.

Miami had chances to make plays and stay/get back into the game, and they didn't capitalize when VT gave them an opening. VT did capitalize when Miami gave them an opportunity--so, hats off to them for doing so.

I can say this in favor of Miami though--if you went to the game and talked to VT fans, you'd be hard pressed to find one that would say they expected a win like that over Miami. Most all I spoke to expected Miami to come in and roll.

If it's any consolation I'll be pullin for them next Saturday night.

Thanks, but we'll be pulling for every ACC team against VT for the rest of the year, starting with Duke next week. No offense.
