There-
We lived in far SW VA at the time (now retired to B’burg). Our son was a student trainer for the team at the time. We took a lot of riding pre-game about how UT would throttle us. Needless to say, we had a lot of folks who avoided us for a while after that. I believed that was the worst prepared opponent I had/have ever seen VT play. I am glad we avoided Kiffin in the coaching search. Have never been impressed with him as an individual.
