The table has been set, and it's time for the story of the 2007 Hokie
football season to write itself. This season has been a roller coaster, and
although the path has taken turns we didn't foresee, the result is what we
anticipated: a 6-1 record and a wide-open shot at the ACC championship. Virginia
Tech is right where they want to be as the last five weeks of the season begin.
It has been 296 days since the Hokies collapsed against Georgia in the Chick-fil-A
Bowl, and 296 days of waiting for this moment. Every season boils down to a
critical stretch of games that define forever how a team is perceived, how they
write their names in the history books. For the 2007 Hokies, that stretch of
games is here: Boston College, @GT, FSU, Miami, and @Virginia. That's good
stuff, a gauntlet with an ACC tint to it, a stretch run that could bring
anything from euphoria to ruin to something in between.
