The Virginia Tech Hokies open the 2007 football season at home against East Carolina. Va. Tech has won five straight over the Pirates, and odds are good they'll make it six straight on Saturday. Considering that an astonishing 80-percent of ACC media picked the Hokies to win the conference, a loss during their season opener would be quite the upset indeed, and it's just not going to happen. What do you think?

I think we throw the pharses America's team & biggest game of the year to much not hear Va Tech can be American's and this is the biggest game of the year.

Hard to criticize the Hokies for being sluggish today, given all they've been through, but they did not play a sharp football game in a 17-7 win over East Carolina. According to the Associated Press, "The 32 victims of April's campus massacre were honored in a heart-tugging pregame ceremony, which was followed by an uninspiring performance on the field... The running game struggled. Quarterback Sean Glennon threw an interception, lost a fumble, was sacked four times and continually missed open receivers with errant passes. The defense had to save the day." They were 27 1/2 point favorites today and their on-field performance was, I'm afraid to say, quite underwhelming.
