For purposes of understanding where I get ideas for my posts, I have multiple apps downloaded on my phone, a twitter account, and listen to sports radio shows, I was on Twitter and saw a conversation between Tyvis Powell and a Virginia Tech fan. Tyvis had tweeted something about the team grinding hard so that they don't lose the same again. The fan responded they have been grinding too and that Lane Stadium is ready for us, we better be ready for it. The last part really annoyed me.
In terms of crowd noise Ohio State has been through the worst of the worst and still hoisted a trophy above their heads. The Big Ten Championship was the perfect mesh of Ohio State and Wisconsin. The Sugar Bowl was basically in Alabama's back yard. The Title Game was more Ohio State fans, but than again, Ohio State travel extremely well. What I would love to say to Virginia Tech fans is this: While you beat us last year for multiple reasons, those reasons do not exists anymore. For some reason, preparing the triple option one week and playing a totally different team the next is one of the toughest schedules a team can have. JT Barrett was still new on the scene and our team was not quite a team yet. It was literally the perfect storm for Virginia Tech.
This year the perfect storm will be anything but for Virginia Tech. We have an experienced defensive and offensive line, highly potent offensive in general, and a defense hell bent on creating havoc for any offense. I do not forsee this game being close at all, I do not care how much time there is to prepare. We will be walking into that stadium with revenge on our mind and the last time that happened we dominated our opponent. Right now, this team has forgotten all about the glory of the National Title because it no longer exists. What exists is the countdown to the first game of the season.
