If Auburn comes to play to show everybody that they should have been in the Orange Bowl and VT plays to their abilities this should be one of the best Bowl games. Except for a missed field goal Tech would only have one loss to USC. They showed the country they could play with the best that day. Hard to say what might have happened without that bad call by the referee. Without the loss to NC State, VT might be ranked fourth and you would have a 3 vs. 4 match up. I think that Auburn being a 6 1/2 point favorite and not 7 says something. We shall see.

>>You can call it Beamerball, or what ever but what it is it can be called the desire to get over all the negativity of being called a cow college, or being referred to as a college out in the middle of nowhere or up in the mountains, or a bunch of country hicks, or bear the brunt of jokes like telling a VT grad by noticing his class ring when he is picking his nose.<< I almost used one of those phrases in my last post. Heheh. This year I will just call it being the underrated underdog. Fizz, I hope Marcus Vick turns out to be half as good as I think he could be; however, he has a tough row to hoe following in the limelight of his beloved brother Michael Vick. It is always easier when people underestimate you AND you have nothing to lose by trying to do your best.
