It seems that the topic de jour has been many a Hokie Fan actually being glad that we don't have to face the inveitable beat down at the hands of the mighty Seminoles. I heard this lament after the Maryland game when leaving Lane and it seems to have spread to TKP about actually being glad to avoid a top ranked team. This to me is total b.s. in every sense of what sports are about. Saying you are glad to not have a shot at a top team is tantamount to reaching down and tugging on ones nuts til they pop out and handing them over; because you won't need them anymore. For 60 minutes and 4 quarters, you step on the field to win the game or lose, but don't pray for the safety and shelter of not-losing.
Where does it say we lose if we play FSU? I know the odds and stats and everything else point to a lopsided game, but damn have some friggin stones, man! VT was a top 5 team in the ACC title game when FSU limped in after winning a pathetic Atlantic division, and they WON.
Final Score FSU 27- #5 VT 22. But,..but..but, that wasn't supposed to happen, look at the numbers, we were supposed to win, right? They play the game to decide who is better. There have been upsets often in title games, some with national title implications. KSU beat Oklahoma in the Big 12 title game, shit happens when you play football, teams win and teams lose. Stats and talking heads do not decide the outcome of games, teams and players do.
What are you going to do when a first year starting QB goes in to the Horseshoe for his second college start against a team that MIGHT be 2 years removed from losing their last game! Run? Hide? Pray for a rain out? Man the fuck up and get in there and play the game.
