Think back six months ago. It was early May, and nothing was going on in
Hokie football. Spring practice was over, and although there was a little action
going on in recruiting, what you really longed for was the midseason, being in
the thick of the race, and playing games that mattered.

We wait through the long offseason for games like tonight's contest in
Atlanta. We follow Hokie football 365 days a year, but there are really only
three or four days that really matter in any given year. This is one of those
days.
