Is it my imagination or does Va Tech play many of its games on weeknights?

Man, I was thinking the same thing! I swear they are on every Thursday night.

I passed on this game, but I expect BC to give them some trouble tonight.

I believe you're on the right side tonight, Rob (I played them small)

J Man: got this off the Washington Post website

The Hokies, one of six undefeated teams left in Division I-A, have relished their Thursday night appearances on ESPN, winning 11 of their 12 previous games on that night. Virginia Tech's only loss was a 20-14 defeat to Boston College at Lane Stadium on Sept. 7, 1995. Since then, the Hokies have won 10 Thursday night games in a row, including a 55-6 drubbing of Maryland in Blacksburg last season.

:103631605 That was probably before the Md game too...whenever I think of Blacksburgh i hink of the night the lighting cancelled the game..

I had Tech that night, it looked good...I think the lightning actually struck Lee Corso's car

Look for Boston College to use it's huge offensive line to try and pound away with the run against the speedy Virginia Tech defense. The Hokies have vowed to try a similiar approach on offense. Depending on the success of each unit should determine any success through the air. I am passing going in but will be looking closely to see if an edge presents itself for the second half. Best of luck to everyone.

Terrefic post OMT, I wish I was as wise.

I really wanted to wait for second half, but the action bug got to me. Plus looking at past games for both teams, I just saw so much value in -12.5.

BOL OldManTed, Glad to see you are alive, well, posting and using your wit.

:103631605 Similar to when WVA handled them, with the big line and big back...this could be a tricky spot.

This Tech team is a little better coached, lol. Hope they cut out those dumb personal foul penalties that they had last week vs Md.

Virginia Tech looks in control. Hokies have established the run and pass the last two drives, while the Eagles have gone 3 and out, not including the last possession, in their last 5 drives. Hokies get the second half kick-off. Look for more stingy defense from the Hokies in the second half. Took the opening second half number at Hokies -7 (+101).

People are forgetting H/T adjustments, I've just changed into a pair of shorts so my nuts feel more comfortable.
