Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?

I remember after watching the Hokies get destroyed by Peyton Manning and UT to end the '94 season, then lose to BC and Cincinnati to start the '95 season, that perhaps we were going back to the 2-8-1 days. It was over.

But it wasn't. At the end of that game vs. 'Nati, I never would thought while standing there in Lane that day that I'd be in the Super Dome a few months later watching the 'Horns go down.

It's not over. And even if we don't win another game, I'm gonna support the whole team, stay positive, and enjoy the excuse to spend my Saturdays glued to my couch, enjoy my beverages (I drink much better stuff than Natty these days), make my best game snacks, and remember all the great positives that come along with College Football.

Best of luck to LT, the coaches, and the rest of the 2013 VT football team. H-O-K-I-E-S HOKIES!
