I know there are at least a few Tigers pulling for VT down in LA!

Well that's one thing we CAN agree on. I didn't vote for him either. Gov McD probably cares more about how Regent's does in the Bible Bowl, than whether or not VT goes to SEC!

Actually the Washington DC metro area is huge and although the main college there is Georgetown, Virginia Tech dominates the area. UVA is a joke, Maryland is split between DC and Baltimore. A recent Washington Post study found that there are more VT alumni in the DC metro area than any other school, by far. Virginia Tech also dominates the Richmond, Norfolk, Virginia Beach metro area of almost another 3 million people. Virginia Tech owns the State of Virginia - 7 million plus, and is the dominant College Team in the DC market. If, and I say IF, the SEC is wanting to expand, taking VT is a no-brainer for them. I and may VT alum would love to join the SEC.

Here's an answer from an outsider who has seen several games at the Superdome, including the 2000 National Championship between VT and FSU, VT v. TX in 95 Sugar, VT v. AUB in 2003 Sugar, and the VT LSU game in Tiger Stadium 2007. Tiger Stadium is by far much louder and more intense than the Superdome. Not even close.

I know it will be a tall task to take out the Crimson Tide in our first game, but it's a possibility.

BTW - keep whippin' up on UVA (baseball) if you play again!

So if Alabama doesn't sign, then who is the most likely SEC school? Who is LSU scheduled to play in the early part of 2009? I've been told by AUburn friends that no way AU adds VT with their schedule, maybe UG. I will tell you that if VT fans were polled, they would want to play Tennessee. We have tried to schedule them for 10 years and they just won't do it. Blacksburg is only about 3 hours from Knoxville and there are many Tennessee fans here in this part of Virginia and us Hokies have to listen to their crap all the time.

Wrong Traitor from Norfolk. VT is the dominant team in the Commonwealth and quite frankly we ARE God's gift to ACC football. We have won the ACC football title 2 of the 4 years we have been members and have the best overall record of wins in the 4 years we have been members. So, although I would ordinarily never, ever say it, the fact IS that we are God's gift to ACC football.

You Bama and LSU fans may find this odd, but there is no way in Hell that VT fans or the Administration at VT would fire Beamer and hire Saban, even if he offered to coach for free. Beamer is a God around here (whether deservedly or not) and he ain't going anywhere. NOW WVU may be another story. Since Rich Rod left for Michicken, they moved up a relatively no name assistant. As far as Clemson, Bama may very well beat them. Clemson is always overrated, especially this class. VT has consistently beaten them for 10 years now without a loss, at VT and at Death Valley.

Just announced in Blacksburg that VT will open the 09 college football season with a "made for TV" neutral site game against Alabama in the Georgia Dome. The real question is not whether or not VT will choke again, but whether Saban will still be with the Crimson Tide! Go Tigers and Go Hokies!

See link slamming Petrino. The right side graphic showing all his coaching moves really tells the story:
