Boston College vs. Virginia Tech IN BLACKSBURG ... TONIGHT ... 10/25/07

Who ya got?

I really think Boston College is going down tonight.

This should be a phenomenal game to watch.

I've never seen either team play. I hear that Ryan is very good and I suspect Virginia Tech is great on special teams and undisciplined everywhere else. Is that at all correct?

Virginia Tech will always implode and self destruct at one point in any season because they aren't a team. The only time they didn't was because they had a freak athlete at the college level.

The only time I've seen VT play was when LSU beat them to a pulp. I haven't seen BC play outside of highlights. So in my expert opinion I think it will be a good game won by BC if they win the turnover battle.

VT wins. Wake Forest in the only decent team BC has beaten, and Wake lost to a pitiful Nebraska team.

There are more important things, like Survivor and the World Series to watch. I will catch the highlights though.

Great decision by Va Tech to switch to the prevent defense after their real defense had shutout BC for the first 57 minutes of the game. Now they are going to lose because of that idiotic decision. Some coaches just don't get it.

I've always hated the prevent defense and I always will.

As I type that, BC scores and moves ahead with 11 seconds left.

Boo.

Frank Beamer isn't that bright.

What do they say... the only thing a prevent defense prevents is your team from winning?

Va Tech loses after holding a 10-0 lead with three minutes left all thanks to the stupid decision to switch to prevent defense. Virginia Tech deserved to lose that game. Prevent defense prevents you from winning. When will coaches learn? Frank Beamer choked this game away.

Talk about helping out your Heisman chances!

Matt Ryan should send Frank Beamer a fruit basket.

Haha, you can tell it's a Va Tech person running the clock... they didn't remove a single second from the kickoff until the ref made them... only took two seconds off for the first play and the ref made them take off another second...

No way Ryan should win the Heisman over a guy like Dennis Dixon if Oregon wins out.
