A national championship is not so far fetched for VT this year assuming we keep winning game after game. One of the knocks against BCS is that you have to start the season near the top of the rankings and hang in there to reach National Championship. Finally, VT has strength-of-schedule in its favor this year with no FCS opponents to screw it up either. Not only have USC, Ohio State, Cal, Penn State and Oklahoma dropped below Tech but it is almost certain LSU will lose one of next two games. SEC conf game will knock out either Forida or Alabama. VT already has the odds in its favor to win the Coastal div of ACC and certainly has good chance to beat anyone in the ACC title game (unless BC pulls another 14 pt miracle drive in the last 2:07 as in 2007). Oh, to fix my error, I will be rooting for #8 Oklahoma to keep its ranking until Miami beats them. U think that still helps our S.O.Sched. Even Coach Beamer said this might be our year: espn.go.com

Nebraska fans have a great tradition of giving their opponents a standing ovation for a good game, win or lose. I saw this week before last from a group of older alumni after VT stole the hard won victory from them. Looked really classy. I might add that the mean spirited, bad sportsmanship I witnessed along our sidelines in recent years has completely disappeared. Kudos to everyone. I enjoyed the bobble head dancing celebrations after big plays by R. Williams and D. Wilson. Very cute. I just hope they do no do it at the wrong time and draw a penalty. And congrats to Nebraska for 300 CONSECUTIVE sellout games in 81,000 seat Memorial Stadium since 1962. Those are loyal fans. I hope Bo Pelini continues their climb back to national prominence. BTW, sorry about not using paragraph breaks. I am texting on a non compliant system. my PS3. Heheh.
