FYI--from here, deep in VT country...

Normally VT fans are talking shizz left and right. They drop by my office to ask me what my thoughts on the game are, and we jab each other a little bit. Happens every year.

This year--not so much. I've had one alumnus stop by and say "good luck to you guys tonight", and walk away before I had a chance to respond. None of them are looking me in the eye. No smiles, no banter, no jabs. It's almost as if they don't know there's a game tonight.

What does this mean? To me, it tells me that they're scared. Either that, or 4 losses this season has been enough to take away their nuts. Let's say it's the former though--I think the collective battlecry amongst the VT fans here isn't the usual "Go Hokies", it's more "My Body Is Ready".

I'm decked out in my orange and green here at the office, surrounded by VT fans and alums, and it's all this kind of hushed/muted/uncertain attitude they've got. VERY different from other years. They seem ready, almost accepting, of the ***-whooping we're going to give them tonight. I say we oblige them.

GO CANES!!!!

I had a VT coworker tell me good luck and that she really hasn't been paying as much attention this year b/c it's so hard with all of the losses. I told her try being a Miami fan the last several years. They definitely aren't their over confident (although justified vs the Canes lately) selves after the first few games this year. Would love to finally not have to deal with Hokies giving me **** for once.

If there´s one thing I am sure of, it´s that our guys will come out like their hair´s on fire. Def something that Golden gets.

Doesn't mean they're scared, I just think for the first time in a long time, they are a .500 team and apathy is setting in to the season. It's like they don't know how to deal with it, so disillusionment sets in which turns to apathy.

I know, I've been there.

And this is where I hope we take advantage of that apathy and put them out of their misery. We need to jump on them fast and keep punching the entire game.
