It's not that bad if you spend a day or two in Jacksonville beforehand, I would imagine. I know it's only an hour, but there's a big difference between feeling like it's Noon and feeling like it's 1:00 p.m. I'm getting there on the 29th, so I should definitely be adjusted to Eastern time by January 1. |

May make it out there...
What are our chances in this one? With Virginia's defense, do we stand a chance? -------------------- "There is a level of cowardice lower than that of the conformist: that of the fashionable non-conformist." |

Virginia played a bunch of nobodies. They played two ranked teams (if you want to count #24 Wake Forest at the time). From their record it looks like they were about 10 pts from being a < .500 team. Of course I'm no expert, but my early guess is that we'll roll em.

Impala is right. They're an average football team.
If you look at who they have played, they've only played one team (Georgia Tech) ranked higher than 70 in total offense; the average of their opponents' rank in that category is 98. So, sure, they have a top 30 defense, but they haven't played anyone worth a damn offensively. Virginia hasn't seen anything like Texas Tech's offense this year, and they are pretty horrible at putting points on the board. Now, obviously games aren't played on paper... but this is a game that the Red Raiders should dominate from beginning to end. |

Wow, we probably shouldn't have won that game. We played like crap. So many missed catches.
The one thing that really pissed me off was the penalty call for unsportsman-like conduct. That was the most absurd call of the year. I think that one play made Virginia get further than they were supposed to, that's for sure. Other than that, it was a good game. Glad we came out on top. |

Glad we came out on top. i totally agree. i was thinking the same thing. a few players earlier one of virginia's players did something similar (even worse) and didn't get called...but both weren't enough for a penalty. that's just stupid. if we wouldn't have got that penalty, i think the momentum would've stayed on our side and they wouldn'tve got that TD. not gonna complain now though...we won so i'm happy. -------------------- |

Yeah it seemed like either a great pass was dropped, or a crappy pass was made, almost the whole game.

At least the announcers were fairly unbiased and actually put in a few good words for Tech.
I could have done without the heart stopping performance but other than that, I enjoyed watching the game. -------------------- "There is a level of cowardice lower than that of the conformist: that of the fashionable non-conformist." |

The announcers weren't bashing tech but they certainly weren't talking us up like they were with Virginia.
Harrel played horribly for the first half and the recievers played worse in the second. I'm surprised we won because if the pass wasn't over/under thrown, then the recievers flat out dropped it. However, next year will be a turning point if we can get our defense in order, I'm looking forward to seeing what we can do. -------------------- FUCK YOU

Boo for Rylan Reed's fractured ankle and subsequent surgery.
Boo for the announcers blowing Chris Long the whole game. Yay for the Raider win. Yay for Virginia being 0-6 in bowl games played in Florida. -------------------- Forget regret

I missed most of the game because I went to the Cotton Bowl. I got back and it was like 28-7, so I said to hell with it and left again. I regret it now.
