Tech's Sugar Bowl bid a validation of the Hokies' program and what it stands for under Beamer

"This is about “Enter Sandman.” And the lunch pail. And the Hokie Nation’s passion for its team.

This is for those fans who sat in a hurricane during the Texas A&M game, and who roared on those cold Thursday nights when gloves muffled their applause. "

Great article by the VT Voice...

to add onto hunzworth...

"If you’re a Tech fan, you should take great pride this month. This Sugar Bowl bid is a sweet validation (pun intended) of what Beamer has built at Virginia Tech – on the field, in the classroom and in the stands.

The bowl system is certainly flawed, and national pundits will point to Tech’s inclusion in the BCS as an example of politics and will further suggest teams shouldn’t get bowl bids based on decades-long success.

Umm, that’s the way college football has always been. Powerhouse programs that pack their stadiums, win 10-plus games each year and have a Hall of Fame coach on the sidelines play in major bowls."
