USA Today predicts we get our first loss vs GT

[Shogungts]

Wow what'd you do to Virginia lol

Nothing too exciting, certainly less than what they did to Jacory Harris that day.

I went to the game with some buddies that went to UM and a friend that went to UVA. We had brought flasks with us and were in the grassy area behind one of the end zones; my buddy who went to UVA said to use the bathroom to put booze into my soda, but like a dummy I ignored him. A minute later a plain clothes cop came up and pulled me aside.

They took my flask, but actually let me go back to the game. Now this is where I got the 'lifetime ban'... I had another flask on me. I legitimately was not going to use it as I didn't want to take any chances, since it was sentimental (given as a gift) and I didn't want to risk getting kicked out. I was actually planning to go to the bathroom to empty it and move it to my front pocket (it was in my back), but before I could and even though I had not taken it out, the same cop came back up to me a few minutes later and said:

Cop: You have a second flask, you lied to me
Me: With all due respect sir - and I realize I am in the wrong here - but I did not lie to you; you never said anything or asked about another flask. Why would I lie to you when you are a police officer and could have easily patted me down and found it. I truly was planning to just go to the bathroom and empty it as I didnt want to lose the flask.
Cop: Come with me

In retrospect, I probably should have just told them when they brought me up the first time that I had another flask and asked if I could just empty it since it was sentimental, but I didn't think of that and they likely would have confiscated it anyway.

They ended up taking that flask, kicking me out of the game and telling me that I was banned forever, but it's not like they have pictures of me up at the stadium... at least I don't think they do - haven't been back since.

Tech likes to run the ball. Our pass defense is the issue. So I think we will be fine

or if they have fast jittery RBs (particularly if they have running threat QBs too like VT)

All I’m learning from this thread is we have some selfish mother****ers on this board

We may lose another game or **** even two, but after last year there’s no way in **** we lose to GT

Fear not, I have been to 2 games this year (USF and Cal) and those 2 wins are more wins than the previous 9 games that I have been to!

At UNC 2021: Loss (started in a hole and almost game back to win, but couldn't pull it off)
At Boston College 2018: Loss (just pitiful offense)
At Pitt 2017: Loss (game where 11-0 Miami couldn't complete a forward pass)
At Duke 2015: Win (lateral game which we should have lost)
At Notre Dame 2012 (in Chicago): Loss (at least Chicagor was fun!)
At Maryland 2011: Loss (Al Golden's first game)
At Virginia 2010: Loss (and I was banned from the stadium for life)
At Virginia Tech 2009: Loss (Wide open TE dropped a TD in the endzone and VT ran away with it afterwards)
Virginia 2007: Loss (last game at Orange Bowl)

Highlight of the list was def the Duke game. That was miracle and amazing ending!

Don't underestimate GT. They aren't the weirdo triple option team of old. They have competent staff, which lends itself to competent players.

F that rag USA Today. Last relevant in 1993 before the internet revolution.

THIS....negative fish wrapper.

Aside from it being the only win I definitely agree.

I was with one of my best friends who went to Duke and 2 of his buddies that also went to Duke. They were stunned, but honestly excited by what they just saw.
