There was a lot written and said about how this latest edition of VT-Miami
was a shadow of what this rivalry has been. Indeed, there have been some nasty,
vicious, dramatic games in this series. This wasn't one of them. Throughout the
week leading up to this game, the media, including the three prognosticators of
this web site, summarily dismissed the Hurricanes. Once the ball was kicked off,
the Hokie football team did the same, notching a 44-14 win that was the
second-biggest beatdown Tech has ever laid on the 'Canes.
Did you ever think you'd see the day where the Hokies would crush the
Hurricanes by 30 points, and the response from Hokie Nation would be, in
essence, a shrug? Maybe I'm dramatizing things a little, but there was
definitely something missing from this game.
