Its not that VT always looses these big games in the begining of the season they loose them any time they are played. I like Beamer but he and his team choke away all these games and that's why they have that 1/27 record. Beamer would not even be a house hold name without MIchael Vick and just a little above average college coach.

That was one of the best days of football in the state of Maryland for as long as I can recall...still, go Hawkeyes!

is anyone really surprised that we blew another early season game? tech had me fooled for a minute, but the second that we didnt convert that 3rd down and had to punt to give boise the ball back, boise became the heavy, and i mean extremely heavy favorite. pissed off that this continues to happen. late game self-destruction.
Yeah I'm thankful I'm not a Va Tech fan. Every year they are in the preseason discussion as a title contender and they ALWAYS disappoint.
What a great game that was last night. I don't see how Boise doesn't run the table now.

I think the BCS championship is Boise State's to lose now. Unless they stumble, which is possible, they have the inside track.

Except for the fact that they will get their ass handed to them by whichever SEC team they play.

At least Tech plays contenders and not weak schedules like others. People forget Tech played and lost to 3 tough opponents outside their conference in the last 5 years that went on to win national championship that year: LSU, USC, and Alabama. In the latter two, just like last night, they held there own no problem. LSU game they got mopped. Tech is PROVEN they can play with anybody in the country.

Good point, I'm tired of seeing teams play powder puffs.

Not exactly...SEC is a great conference no doubt, but this aura of invincibility that it has acquired over the last 5 years is laughable. Jacksonville State comes to mind against a solid SEC team this past weekend. Right now Boise State could beat every SEC team, Alabama is one squad where they would have the most problem. But I remember when Utah...yes Utah rolled up Bama like a carpet year b4 last at the Sugar Bowl. Boise State was sloppy againt Tech yesterday as well...there gonna be a well oiled machine by the end of year...ask a very very good Oklahoma team several years ago how Boise State plays in Bowls...An assumption like any SEC team beating Boise State right now is humerous to say the least
