If Tech can hold on, the city of Lubbock will finally have something other than Buddy Holly to be proud of.

"Puck don't lie"
I grew up in VA about 45 minutes from Charlottesville. You were either a Wahoo fan or a Hokie fan and there was no in between. I, of course, became a UVA fan only to witness multiple decades of sports futility....football until George Welsh got there was abysmal. Cavalier basketball over-achieved some (except when they had Ralph), but was also notoriously mediocre. Even baseball, which has been a strong program recently, wasn't much back in the day.
So watching Tony Bennett and his team win was something special for many a long suffering fan.

Thought I'd leave this right here as I found this to be not just impressive, but something that helped reinforce my belief in the general goodness of man....sometimes, people just do what's right.

Now that's one thing Hokies and Mountaineers can agree on.

Hey, they were talking 40-0, right?
...couldn't even make it past a cupcake! The Aces haven't been good in FOREVER, so this is their National Championship victory.
Props to them for having the balls to play UNC-Greensboro in Greensboro. UNCG is pretty good for a smaller school.

Hey, Wofford walked into Old Carmichael and gave Carolina the absolute business, and SFA walked into Cameron and gave Duke the absolute business.
Sorry, but there are no gimmes in college basketball. That win against UNCG is a good win against a likely tournament team.

Damn good win for the Morgantown squad over the Blue Jackets, err I mean, Buckeyes.
