I
went to bed last night just beyond midnight, and I tossed and turned until 1:30
AM, pondering the possibilities of Virginia Tech's matchup with Boise State. The
opener at FedExField (note that it's one word) is just one week away, and if
it's keeping me up at night, I can only imagine what it's doing to the Tech
players and coaches.
Things are building to a crescendo. It's hard enough for us fans to stay calm
in the preseason, but when you take the regular August optimism and sprinkle in
unprecedented levels of confidence coming from the Tech coaching staff and
players, plus the highest preseason ranking ever and a high-profile opponent in
the opening, the mind starts to ponder the possibilities.
