Tech is exonerated in the court of public opinion
Oh man, the Facebook comments on ESPN's posts about Cam Ward for Heisman are just brutal. Thousands of people across the country are just ripping the refs and the ACC replay officials in the comments section for robbing Tech with that end of game call. Looks like it's apparent to the majority Miami got away with one. As they say, you can fool some of the people some of the time, but you can’t fool all of the people all of the time. And most of the comments are from fans of other schools, not VT fans. Not many folks were impressed by how that game ended in Miami’s favor.

I was on a run yesterday, near Dukes campus. Wearing a VT shirt. Some guy
and his daughter were on the way to the Duke game and got stopped at a light and the guy hollered out at me. "Hey man. I just want to say I'm sorry you guys got robbed last night. That was BS."

Wow. When even the Dookies are saying VT got robbed
You know there’s something to it.

That's good but we are still 2-3 bottom line
Because of bad coaching and game management (not just in this game either) until they figure stuff out we are who are maybe a 6-6 /7-5 team going to a lower level bowl game. 3 yrs into the job and they still haven't done that yet so why should the future be any better.

If the bad coaching continues, the poor decisions by Pry, OC and DC remain
all season and the team finishes 2-10, Pry will return next season. Pry is "Whit's guy" and when they both leave, they will leave together !

As 3rd year in coaching shows that Pry still making first year errors

Yep, unfortunately. As Coach Bill Parcells said:
You are what your record says you are. And, like it or not, our record says we’re a losing team.

with a losing coaching staff and marginal players !

What hurts is that 5-0 was very attainable
Even by this staff. We didn't need a curt Cignetti to pull it off.

Rut & MIA, better, Vandy no way. We're a losing program w'out a quality HC

Not so much the number of points
It's how. From boneheaded calls to the coordination of the offense. If the latter was solid we beat Vandy and Rutgers.

Three 1-score losses. Brutal. We just can’t close games out.

Miami was really the only consistently close/back-and-forth game this year
Vanderbilt and Rutgers ended on a close margin but they were completely in control of those games for like 90% of it. I think it's hard to say VT didn't close out those games when they spent most of those games down 2 or 3 possessions, and were really quite lucky that the other team let them back into the game at all. Like, a more extreme example of this was the Georgia-Alabama game, I wouldn't say Georgia failed to close out a close game when they were down 28-0 in the first half. Alabama ended up winning anyway, but, if anyone failed to close out anything, it was Alabama letting such a large lead evaporate to begin with.

Losers lose. They find a way.
