tag, helmed by a coach known for his innovation with special teams?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Lora; font-size: 12pt;\">Thanks to sports superstition, I have the belief that truly crucial games are best not being seen, because watching them will undoubtedly\u00a0<em>cause<\/em>\u00a0my preferred teams to lose. \u00a0That didn&#8217;t apply in this case, because I figured Ohio State was going to win something like 49-9 with the Hokies only being able to muster up three field goals, so I didn&#8217;t watch because I didn&#8217;t want to watch the seemingly inevitable slaughter.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Lora; font-size: 12pt;\">The funny thing is that when I saw this game on the schedule, I actually did think if there was a chance that Virginia Tech could pull out the monumental upset, because Ohio State is one of those programs that I feel is pretty overrated, playing in a pretty overrated conference, and as history as indicated within the last decade and change, they&#8217;re kind of chokers. \u00a0Conversely however, is the fact that opposing them, Virginia Tech is\u00a0<em>also\u00a0<\/em>a football program that has been notorious for losing some pretty big games in their own history.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Lora; font-size: 12pt;\">Razzing on my own team, I said to friends that #8 Ohio State vs. Virginia Tech had the markings of the dreaded &#8220;trap game&#8221; as they came, but the problem was that it was up to Tech to actually successfully spring the trap. \u00a0No way that was ever going to happen, right?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Lora; font-size: 12pt;\">Bahahahaha, but it did. \u00a0I cursed myself when I went to ESPN to check the Braves score, and inadvertently saw the halftime score of Tech up 21-7 on the Buckeyes. \u00a0I immediately tried to wipe that knowledge from my mind, and that it was inevitable that Ohio State was\u00a0<em>going to<\/em>\u00a0come back and win, because that&#8217;s what happens to Virginia Tech in big games. \u00a0So I went back to doing what I was doing aside from watching sports (<em>playing LoL, lol<\/em>), and hoped for the best, but expected the worst.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Lora; font-size: 12pt;\">Naturally, Virginia Tech\u00a0<em>did<\/em>\u00a0allow Ohio State back into the game, but something unusual happened &#8211; they buckled down, regained the lead, and held on to win, 35-21. \u00a0Color me unsuspectingly exuberant.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Lora; font-size: 12pt;\">So in a battle between two programs notorious for choking, it seemed inevitable that the team with more to lose,\u00a0<em>had\u00a0<\/em>to lose. \u00a0And nothing bigger to lose than a sweet Top-10 national ranking for Ohio State.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Lora; font-size: 12pt;\">Anyway, there&#8217;s always the possibility that Virginia Tech resumes being Virginia Tech, and loses all the rest of the games of the season (except the one to Virginia), and I&#8217;d be okay with that. \u00a0Frankly, this wasn&#8217;t a year in which I was really expecting Tech to really compete, so any successes like this monumental upset over a program like Ohio State is 100% pure gravy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Lora; font-size: 12pt;\">Bahahahaha, Ohio State losing to Virginia Tech. \u00a0Instant classic.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ohio State sucks. \u00a0Bahahahahahahahahahaha I love Virginia Tech football and all, but seriously, I didn&#8217;t even watch this game, because I thought it was such a foregone conclusion, that it wasn&#8217;t even worth watching. \u00a0#8 Ohio State versus an unranked Hokie squad slapped with the dreaded &#8220;rebuilding&#8221;
