[QUOTE="Boomergump, post: 15845, member: 639"] I am curious why you choose the word "dominate". True our record against those foes has been less than good recently, but I hardly feel dominated by teams like VT especially. I mean, this year we had equal yards and first downs etc and lost by a single score basically because we crapped in our own bed. Last year we had the lead with 40 seconds to go. The year before that we had a late lead and had stopped them on 3rd and long deep in their own end before the punch heard round the world was thrown. VT has far from dominated us. Still, I would rather be on their end of the won loss record. Last year at Clemson, we had a lead in Q4 and fumbled a 4th and 1 snap on their 10 yard line to bail them out before mishandling the KO on our ensuing possession causing a safety. I'll bet they felt lucky to escape with a win. We won against them the year before that. So, I am struggling with the "dominated" description. Certainly the 2013 loss to the Tiggers falls into that category. I have no argument there. It was a beat down. If truth be told, your anger should be directed towards our proclivity to throw away games. I get that. But to describe us as being dominated doesn't really resonate with me. Sorry. Language like that can be dramatic and inflammatory, but I don't think it is historically accurate. This is why I feel we are close as a program. We have rarely been dominated and are usually quite competitive. We have just had a knack for not finishing games. It has been maddening for sure. [/QUOTE]
