Georgia Tech has been involved in many historically significant games, perhaps nome more famous than its 1916 meeting with Cumberland College of Tennessee. The Engineers won 222-0, the largest margin of victory in NCAA history.
Buzz has a ride that rivals David Wilson's Whip: a 1930 Ford Model A Sports Coupe.
Although they have been passing the ball more this season, the Paul Johnson still prides himself on the triple option offense, AKA the offense of a thousand cuts.

We’re now into the month of November, and ACC teams have 2 or 3 conference games left on their docket. Virginia Tech and Clemson sit atop their respective divisions, and there’s no doubt that conference officials are hoping they both win out to stage what would be the most significant ACC Championship Game yet. No one can deny the appeal of a potential rematch between the Tigers and Hokies – Bank of America Stadium would be teeming with fans from both schools and I would expect the TV ratings to beat out previous ACC Championship Games. It might be one of the most intriguing matchups that weekend …
… if Clemson and Virginia Tech both win out.
So what happens if someone stumbles?

It almost seems surreal that, given Virginia Tech's long standing rivalries with Miami and UVA, that over the last 4 years the ACC game which has caused many a Hokie the greatest worry has been the Ramblin Wreck of Georgia Tech. Paul Johnson has successfully been able to implement a true flexbone offense in a BCS Conference, and despite a clear drop in his offensive recruiting talent, Johnson has been able to adapt his lesser athletes into a system that works.
Virginia Tech forward JT Thompson has suffered a grade-3 tear in the anterior cruciate ligament of his right knee and will undergo season-ending surgery. Thompson suffered the injury Wednesday afternoon during practice.
"I'm deeply disappointed for JT," head coach Seth Greenberg said. "To think of all he has been through, it's disheartening that bad things happen to good people. Our main focus right now is his health and preparing him for his graduation this December.
"My heart goes out to JT. He has been a model student-athlete, despite all the obstacles that he has faced. He was back to playing at or above the level we had expected of him following last season's surgery. Now is not the time to discuss a sixth year."
Thompson, a redshirt senior from Monroe, N.C., missed all of last season following surgery to repair a torn ACL in his left knee. He appeared in all 34 games for the Hokies in the 2009-10 season. One of the top "sixth men" in the ACC that season, he was fourth on the team in scoring, at 7.3 points per game and third on the team in rebounding, at 4.6 rebounds per game. He recorded double figures in scoring nine times as a junior, including a season-high 17 points in the overtime win at Virginia.
Unfortunately injuries are becoming a trend in Blacksburg. How does the basketball team move forward from here? I don't know, but I'm sure you guys have suggestions. Get better soon JT.
Broke as a joke.
Liver’s shot,
My (wo)man’s pissed,
And the dog runned off,
The team is spent,
Ill be damned if I ain’t too,
Time to sing the Bye Week Bluuueesss.

I just returned home from a weekend in the North Carolina Triangle. This was my second game down at Duke, and both have been causes of anxiety that I didn't anticipate upon arrival.
