Up next? 2009...

Well, it feels good winning a BCS bowl game, regardless of the opponent. The team looked well prepared and it paid off.

Ok, so looking ahead to next season...the hype machine will be in overdrive. We will probably be ranked in the preseason top 10 and people will mention us as a national championship contender until we choke in the big games because our offense lays some eggs.

The offense will be better on experience alone..."better" like top 70 or so, but nowhere in range of where a national championship offense needs to be. As long as Stinespring is the offensive coordinator for Virginia Tech, we are not getting our hopes up. There is really no reason to believe otherwise as we've seen what he has done with some of the most talent and depth that VT has ever had. A little talent or a lot, years of experience or young talent, we all know how this story goes and after 7 years and looking towards his 8th, what good reason is there to believe the light will go on for him and the VT offense will make dramatic improvement?

With so much promise in looking towards the 2009 season along with so much talent and depth returning, it would be a shame to see it wasted on another underachieving and sinking ship offense anchored by Captain Stinespring.

GO HOKIES!!
