Before the game, as per ESPN blogger comments:
"swag"
"we bak"
"Jacory 4 Heisman"
"VT doesn't beat top 10 teams"

After the game:
"it was rainy and cold and we're from Miami"
"we're a speed team and the rain messed up our gameplan"
"we got 5 rings, so what?"
"congratulations on winning your Super Bowl"

To which trumpets reply with a low D...(no pun intended)

This is a classic! Best lol moment was when he says "I haven't been this low since that blue horse mascot....." Whomever is responsible for this needs to be congratulated.

I remember that trip and I remember someone yelling that and the scolding that followed!...just can't remember who it was. Yeah, apparently its frowned upon to yell that on national television.

Not a pilot but always been an aviation enthusiast. I'll follow this thread closely

The #TeamPie folks have missed several key pies....French Silk (my go-to chocolate pie)....Chocolate Pecan...a variation on an already famous classic. Peach! Where is peach pie?? (Preferably with home-made vanilla ice cream)

My first VT vs Miami was the rain game in '09. Miami was coming into Lane ranked #9 (I think we were #11) and they were supposed to spank us. RMFW had other ideas though as we beat the Canes 31-7!

Ok, feeling marginally better, at least about the long snaps.

Having seen DeShazo last play when I was 5 and Clark when I was 9, my opinion has a lot of value here.

I lean Clark by a hair. I like that DeShazo played in 3 seasons to Clark's 2, but Clark holds the edge in winning, not turning the ball over and rushing while holding steady in completing passes and QB rating. DeShazo also had a bunch of guys who reached the NFL on his teams at RB/WR/TE (Antonio Freeman, Ray Crittenden, Vaughn Hebron, Bryan Still, Ken Oxendine and John Burke) whereas Clark had Oxendine and Shyrone Stith and that's about it.

Clark wins in: Regular Season record, lower INT%, rushing yards per carry, #BEATBAMA
DeShazo wins in: yards per attempt, TD%, ability to not get hurt, number of prostitution-related arrests

Push (or as close as you can get) in: Completion %, QB Rating, Rushing TD's, Bowl Record

Clark's career record: 16-8, 193/361 (53.5%) for 2623 yards (7.3 yards per attempt), 19 TD and 9 INT (5.3 TD%, 2.5% INT%). 126.9 QB Rating. 181 rushes for 572 yards (3.1 yards per carry) and 9 TD. Bowl loss in 1997 (lost to UNC 42-3 in Gator Bowl), Bowl win in 1998 (#BEATBAMA 38-7 in Music City Bowl).

DeShazo's career record: 19-15-1, 414/775 (53.4%) for 5860 yards (7.7 yards per attempt), 47 TD and 33 INT (6.1 TD%, 4.3% INT%). 128.4 QB Rating. 292 rushes for 424 yards (1.5 yards per carry) and 10 TD. Bowl win in 1993 (Beat Indiana 45-20 in Independence Bowl), Bowl loss in 1994 (lost to Tennessee 45-23 in Gator Bowl).
