I started out writing this piece as a pure parody, I wanted to make fun of Schlabach et al for their way-too-early-SEC-MNC predictions, but as I made it, I realized most of what I was typing, I actually meant, and believed. So, here it is, my very own Way-Too-Early 2012 rankings, complete with snark and slight homerism.
We all knew it was coming.
Ticket sales for the 2012 Sugar Bowl vs. Michigan "opened" for Hokies Friday, and as of the weekend have fallen short of the unfair expectations donned by those media members so ready to pronounce us unworthy. The intent of this article is not to point out, yet again, why all of this Hokie-hate is unfounded, but rather to show every one a little bit of Bowl Economics, and why a Hokie-allotment sellout really shouldn't be an expectation, and perhaps not even a goal.

One day 'till Hokie Football. ONE DAY. In honor of this day, I'm gonna drop some knowledge about one of the my favorite players from the years leading up to my 4 at Virginia Tech, Eric Green (not the basketball player).
