Bub’s Dive

Nothing like another Orange Effect that actually worked! We went again to Bub’s Dive in Pacific Beach to watch the battle of the Tech’s. This time we realized that many college alumni gather in the area, as there was an Ohio State bar, California bar, and Oklahoma bar along the same strip. We watched Tyrod solidify his hold on the QB spot and our team sell out to Nike again with UGLY unis. The throwback jersey’s from last week looked great, perhaps with a modern maroon helmet? But the point is we won, though I bet we will lose at least one within the next stretch of 4 games. But things could be worse, we could be UVA, who will likely be favored to lose to DUKE this weekend. How does that happen? Al Groh seems to be “out of whack.” In any case, I can’t believe this is our third season not in the band, or able to live hokie football weekly. You can only drink your way through so many games on TV without becoming utterly depressed that you are not in Lane Stadium. But after the game we took a leisurely walk to the board walk and watched surfers against picturesque cliffs. Living here feels like we are permanently on vacation, it is that nice outside all the time.
