well...

That was quite a let down, was it not?

I felt like I did 2 years ago on a wednesday night in Morgantown.

The bubble burst.

No Rose Bowl.

I have to hear more about how good Vince Young is.

Honestly, I did not see it coming, I fear this blog may have jinxed my beloved Hokies.

The blog stays despite a blemish on the record. The real key is that this team does not implode as the 2003 squad did after that blowout to WVU. Miami and missing out on a national championship shot are, bad, but we should still beat the stuffing out of those pink shirt wearing fancy boys from UVA.

As for the New gate bar. It is like stepping in a time warp or something. For 3 hours I may as well have been in Big Al's on Main Street. I stepped back out and WHAM New York City was still there. It was odd to be so inundated by the maroon and orange, and then think that this was lower Manhattan.

I dont think I will return to that establishment. No hard feelings, but just a bad first impression and I am not sure my constitution can handle that emotional transcendence again.

My credentials for this post...

I graduated from Va Tech in the spring of 2003. I majored in political science.

Here is what I know so far:

This is easily the most talented hokie squad yet, even if they lose 3 games bay the end of the year we have never gone onto so many fields and simply been able to outclass people as we have done this season.

I do not have cable. Apparently, most bars here in New York City have other priorities when the bad birds are on TV.

The only game I have seeen this year in full was the NC st. game back before Labor Day.

I once had a class with Earnest Wilford. And another with Kevin Jones. One time in high school I blocked Kevin Lewis when I was a pulling gaurd.

Like Lee Suggs I am a preacher's child.

I sat through hurricane 2 years ago to make fun of my cousin after we whipped his precious aTm Aggies on a Thursday night, when their punter made their best play of the game on a muff.

I know I have waited until late in the season to make this blog a reality, but here I am, on perhaps the biggest day of our season. I have full conbfidence that we will beat the hurricanes, and I plan to see it at the Hokie hang out of Manhattan, New Gate bar and grill on LaGuardia.
