mtraininjax: I know that the 1990 season was good for GT and all but 1989 season? Dude, that was 20 years ago. Plus, when VT-GT played in 1990 GT was ranked # 7 and VT was unranked. The final score of that game was 6-3 GT in Atlanta. Granted, a win is a win. By the way VT was 6-5 that season. You can’t really say that history is going to repeat itself because VT was nowhere near as good in 1989 as they are now 20 years later. I think you might be talking about UVA, but just in case there are the stats.

Tokyo jacket: True, 21-0 is pretty embarrassing, especially when it is at Lane. But do remember that you all possessed one of the best WR’s to ever come out of football that year in Calvin Johnson. I don’t like to use past stats a lot but I was just giving out the facts to explain a point. I hope that the GT-VT game will be a good one I always look forward to it because I like the triple option offense, it’s just not in Stinespring’s repertoire. As for the UGA game I hope every ACC team who plays an SEC team wins. The SEC is overrated in my opinion. Sure you have solid dominant teams like UF but the conference is a little top heavy. I mean I think the ACC is one of the best conferences in football because all 12 teams can compete. Duke is not going to be a pushover this year. I see Duke beating UVA (again) and UNC but that is just me.

If I have a double post, I apologize my computer has been messing up today.

Dawg fans – Beamer is their Vince Dooley. He will have a statue outside of Lane Stadium within one year of retiring.

VT Hokie,

I guess you don’t remember Tech being up 21-0 in the first quarter at the famed Lame Stadium. I think that game definitely counted as an embarassment for VA Tech. We have to tell UGA fans (a lot, because they’re not as bright as VT fans) that the past no longer matters because we’re an entirely different team. They won 7 in a row, 6 of which were against Gailey. Those don’t matter because the game has changed. Similarly, VT’s 4-1 record can be thrown out, you’re 1-0.

I actually don’t expect us to be as successful against VT as I do against UGA. VT is a heart team, great coaching, generally with great defensive talent. UGA is a team with great talent and not as much heart or coaching as GT. I say as long as things stay current we’ll be 50/50 against VT and 70/30 against UGA.

By the way, I like VT a little bit. Lived in Va Beach for a while. I think VT has the classiest fans in college football.

Hokies, Dogs, Tigers, whoever you are:

In 1989, Tech went 7-4 (4-3 in ACC), then in 1990, well, ALL TECH FANS know, Bobby Dodd led Tech to the National Championship. We seemed to beat another school from Virginia that year, in Virginia, who was ranked, Number 1 at the time.

All I have to say to VT fans, is I hope you are number one when we play, cause history is going to repeat itself.

juvenal: Congratulations, you said nothing of relevance in that little statement. We all know that Virginia Tech hasn’t won a national championship and I am completely fine with that. Doesn’t mean we don’t hold our own against everyone we play. By the way before Beamer, VT was not nationally recognized as a threat for college football and look at us now preseason top 5 (even though that doesn’t really mean much, a.k.a. 2008 Clemson team). Frank Beamer has made Virginia Tech a huge success. He means so much more to VT than just being the football coach. He regularly attends other sporting events to cheer them on and he is one of the nicest people you will ever meet. It’s not like VT hasn’t had their shot at a national title either.
