Uh-oh, here we go again. It's time for Virginia Tech to face the NC State
Wolfpack in basketball. Hide the women and children, and avert your eyes,
because history says it's going to get ugly. "My, what big teeth you have,
NC State!" "The better to eat you with, Virginia Tech!" Surely
this -- NC State beating Virginia Tech -- can't go on forever.
Somewhere around 9 pm at night on January 19, 2005, NC State star player and quote
master Julius Hodge rose up to take the game-winning shot in Cassell
Coliseum. The Hokies were leading 72-71 and had played valiantly in search of
their second ACC win in school history, but surely a great, clutch player like
Hodge would put Tech's dreams of victory to rest.
