I just learned: Reigning National Champions Ohio State will open their season against Virginia Tech – the only team to defeat them in the 2014 season
Oh shit, it’s really going to happen. This kind of scheduling is straight WWE: new world champions immediately want to rectify one of their most embarrassing defeats, given the opportunity to do such as means to start the following season.
Let’s be real here, Virginia Tech, as much as they’re my team, doesn’t stand much of a chance against Ohio State, whom is already ranked number one, heading into the 2015 season. But the thing is, Tech really has nothing to lose here, except for the fact that they’re playing at home.
The best part about this whole thing is Ohio State has four players that will miss the first game on account of suspensions for god-knows-what, including from what I understand are their star defensive end and halfback. Sure, their backups are probably better than most of the players on the Hokies starting defense, but this just creates even more pressure for Ohio State to not choke without their best players on the field.
But if the impossible manages to come to fruition, and Virginia Tech topples Ohio State; ONCE AGAIN, expect me to go ballistic. 2015 will be the season that doesn’t really matter, because Virginia Tech will have already won the National Championship; their rightful National Championship, after week 1. The rest of the season will be gravy; granted a probably shitty tasting and probably one that I’ll probably not want a whole lot of, but at least I’ll be able to hang my laurels on the idea of two straight years of beating Ohio State.
Tech fans can dream, right?
