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