Orange Bowl - UC 7 vs Va Tech 20

abuck 76 said on another thread that this would be a boring game - WRONG

This is going to go down as the worst Orange bowl ever..........Will anyone watch? Will the stadium fill up?............OOOO i'm smelling losing money..............

Both teams have squandered scoring opportunities - or said the other way around - both teams have played strong defensive games. Both teams have had a big interception, and after going for and making a 4th and 1, VT kicked a FG with 3 sec to go to end the 1st half leading 10-7. Stadium looks pretty full to me - I believe I saw an empty-looking section on the upper tier down at the corner of the field. UC chartered 13 buses, and the kids were on the road all night [a total of 21 hours] to get to the game. GO BEARCATS

It did not go well for the Bearcats. Tony Pike threw 4 interceptions, and the Hokie defense had a terrific goal-line stand depriving the Bearcats of another TD.
It was still an exciting game, though. The Bearcats had several opportunities and just couldn't capitalize on them and close the deal.

Great Showing by VT and the Bearcats.

Remember UC is still kind of building up to a powerhouse so give them a while before they can go take out a ACC champ or a Big Ten Champ


Brian Kelly great coach already building for the future going out and talking to miami and getting permission to talk to that QB who is leaving and coming to Cincy to play.

Great Job but VT they way they played up and down all year i was surprised and Pike didnt seem calm and he just wasnt himself but its ok.

the best thing of all night was Beamer and his look on his face when the penalties were against his team.
