    Tonight is the first test for VT toward stealing the Rose Bowl bid. Their remaining schedule: BC, Mia, UVA, UNC, FSU?

    BC gives up 12 pts a game. VT gives up 9. I'm expecting a rock fight even though VT is favored by 14. BC beat them the last time they played in 2003 at Blacksburg.

    My predictions:
    Eagles: 17
    Gobblers: 14

    Number of times Marcus Vick is compared to Ron Mexico: 48

    BC is ranked too high at #13. Expect Va Tech to win by at least 14. Kiwanuka is a beast though, so he'll get a couple of sacks on Marcus Vick.

    I'm not making this up:

    Big East Game of the Week

    Cincinnati (3-4) at Syracuse (1-6), 12:00 pm EST
    Why to watch: The Big East basement could be at stake when Cincinnati travels to Upstate New York this weekend. The Bearcats are young and lack depth, but an upset of UConn two weeks ago still has them clinging to hopes of nabbing one of the league’s four automatic bowl berths. Cincy got nailed by Louisville last weekend, and must get to 4-4 before the November stretch run to have a postseason prayer. As football teams go, Syracuse would make a pretty good archaeologist. Every time it seems they’ve hit rock bottom, the Orange discover a new level of hell. Last week in Pittsburgh, the defense and special teams spurred an early lead that the perpetually inept offense frittered away with five turnovers and just 11 first downs and 202 total yards. If the Orange can’t get a W this week, they’re destined for double-digit losses for the first time in school history.

    What do you guys think of that orange colored sleeve that Nike added to the jerseys?

    The FL-UGA game this weekend is going to feature new jerseys for the Gators, which unfortunately are ugly

    Apparently, VA Tech, FL, Miami, USC, and Oregon all have one-game promotional deals to wear some god-awful looking jerseys...keep a look out for Oregon's, its ugliness surpasses their current threads.

    you were only off by about 738292 times.


    and how many people who took bc and the points wanna kill porter for that falling down pick 6 that let vt cover (if the line was 14).

    and just to add, UT would've beat the bc team i saw tonight by 30 minimum unless we just shut it down all 4th quarter.

    Actually, those are Miami's old jerseys that they will be wearing for their retro day. They will later preview ones with one shoulder colored like the V Tech jerseys.
