Film Room The First Battle of the Techs - 1990

Yes. . . that. . . was. . . a . . . cold. . . game! My (future) wife went VPI. We were sitting in the expensive seats of my boss (45 yard line). My wife was standing and clapping her mittens together (kind of a thump-thump sound) the whole game, saying "Go Hokies!". I pretended I didn't know her . Scottie Sisson was the greatest.

That was fun. We tend to forget just how good Al was at play-by-play. Wes was good too, but not quite to Al's standard. I miss him and it was good to hear him and Kim again.

On a present note: we should run more sets like we did then. We have a William Bell - Mason - and, imho, we aren't doing enough to exploit his power running. We've done it one time this year - at da U - and it worked. If we ran more under-center sets I think we would have greater success. Oh, and Graham looks a lot like Shawn, doesn't he? Now, if he only had that 1990 crew of WRs …

Living vicariously through the video archives has been fun!

I was at that game and it was colder than a witch's tit

That was the game that some of the folks in the stands around me started the saying "We Believe".

I recall being so frustrated that offense could not finish.

And I recall it was a cold game. And not knowing how the season would end.

That was, I think, the coldest I have ever been at a Tech game. For reasons unknown, my sister didn't wear a coat, so I gave her mine, so I was in jeans and a Tech polo the whole time.

A VT fan was walking up the aisle, cleared their throat, and spit it on my shoe. I have hated VT since.
