Initiate Revenge Inducing Machine
VT vs. Clemson, 6 PM on ESPN. Be afraid be very afraid. Of course GT must come first, but you can’t say that this gnome didn’t see it coming. The revenge game from Clemson’s dismantling at Blacksburg on the fateful Thursday night will be reciprocated in a Death Valley showdown that you can guarantee will match the GT blowout crowd performance from last year. ESPN probably had this one penciled in the books after the Tigers took out FSU at the beginning of the season. Never the less, the Hokies had better get their A-game on for a night in the Valley, cause these fans have a Miami like ear shattering pain to lay on the hokie O when they come in after embarassing our team from last year. Karma, aint it a bitch.
DAMNIT!! This is making it really hard to think about GT now…….CRAP!
Forget you ever read this post and return to your Tommy Bowden shrines.
At the cost of looking ahead, allow me to tell y’all a little soccer story:
Back in ‘99, Bayern Munich lost a heartbreaker in the European Cup final to Manchester United by giving up two goals at the death. The next year Bayern lost a heartbreaking Semi Final to Real Madrid after crushing them in the Group Stages. Finally in 2001, Bayern knocked out Manchester United in the quarterfinals and Real Madrid in a repeat of the 2000 Semis.
All along that Bayern team had unbelievable self belief and focus taking one game at a time. For Clemson, VTech and BC represent those revenge ties. But GT comes first. To get the steak, one must first cut the cow…
Oh and Bayern went on to win the Cup in ‘01, taking out Valencia in a boring Finale…
Mmmmm steak. Dem boys hungray!!
My mind went to the exact same place.
If someone would have mentioned washing it down with an ice cold Budweiser, I may have lost it.
