Forget Beamer Ball, New Big Man on Campus

Virginia Tech doesn't just mean football anymore. Old habits are hard to break, and I kept thinking that this team just can't be for real. I'm not ready to give them a title yet, but by this point, they've proven they are a solid team for sure.

My dream season as an ACC Fan would of course be everyone goes 8-8 in the league, and nobody loses out of conference. That will never happen of course.
