Don't look now folks...

… but VT is beating BC 14-7. We could wind up being tied for second place in Atlantic division at the end of the day!

Watching with fingers crossed ... another painful Raycom broadcast.

Not that I think it's a bad thing, but does earning second place get us anything? Obviously a huge accomplishment considering what the team has gone through. But how much better of a bowl do we go to?

The acc needs to get its tv crap together its embarrassing.

Well, with Clemson getting a playoff bid and the Coastal being hot garbage.. we may be the next pick taken to go to a bowl.

It don't mean a thing as far as a bowl. The bowls choose via a draft, of sorts. They take the team most attractive to them as long as they are no worse than a game behind, record wise. It's why we always seem to get the pinstripe bowl when eligible.

ND game is a playoff game for a potential major bowl.

Absolutely. Gray Media bought them out for 3.6B, but it's clear that Gray's board members, not sports fans, are going to benefit. The FCC is operating as a corporate cheerleader rather than a regulatory agency.

should be rooting for BC. If SU has any chance to not go Pinstripe they need teams like UVA and VT to lose.

Exactly. Which is why the way we score points now and with Dino being a big attraction to the networks,we have a MUCH better chance to be taken to a bigger bowl than before when we had meatball football. Points bring ratings.

If we are 8-4, we will get a nice bowl

If we are 9-3 we will get a nicer bowl

If we are 10-2, we should get a very nice bowl

I don't know. It just seemed appropriate.

VT needs a pep talk from Curly Buzz. Hope he’s in the stands. BC is starting to dominate.
