The Game… good till the 4th Quarter.

Walking into the game was amazing. Fans from both sides were ribbing on each other’s schools. Our seats were near the top of the Dome, in the Georgia fan section. We decided we are tired of playing bowl games against the hometown favorite, the ACC needs to host some good games other than one in Charlotte.
The MV’s did pregame and we got some good pics of the VT and “HOKIES.” We started to learn Georgia’s cheers (just G-E-O-R-G-I-A over and over… like most of the SEC schools). The game started great. The all maroon uniforms looked good and we jumped to a 21-3 halftime lead. I still felt our meltdown coming and predicted our loss. The pass of the day was thrown by one of our wide receivers in a flea flicker for a touchdown. It was obvious Glennon was going to have a hard day… (if only Marcus Vick wasn’t such an idiot). The defense was playing lights out, and usually only a one point lead is all we need to win, but Glennon got turnover happy, throwing three or four picks and fumbling once (he was hit from the blind side, can’t really blame him on that one…).
In any case, all the extremely fair weather Georgia fans started to get into the game in the fourth quarter when the Hokie offense imploded and Frank Beamer almost had a heart attack. Larger UGA fans started to take their shirts off and wave them around like towels…
I had to remind myself we were not playing West Virginia. But it isn’t like Angela and I haven’t sat through horrible Hokie losses before, so we just enjoyed ourselves anyways. We annoyed the UGA fans near us who expected us to cry I guess, instead we kept yelling for the Hokies anyways!
The Georgia Dome did do cool things like drop glitter confetti and parachute Chick-Fil-A cows. After the insanely horrendous loss we had to walk back to the hotel, constantly harassed but inconsiderate Georgia fans… who more than likely had not attended the school. All the fans needed to do was through batteries at us to be WFVU fans. It was still an awesome time and fun with friends. We drove back to Blacksburg on New Years Eve.
