Call it the “ODUpset”, call it the “Upset by the Bay”, or “Black Saturday” but no matter what you call it, ODU fans will never forget where they were the day Virginia Tech marched into Foreman Field and got shocked by the Monarchs of Old Dominion.
For me, it was the first college football game I had ever covered, the dream of a little kid from Norfolk, Virginia, who grew up idolizing great Hokies like Michael Vick, Deangelo Hall, and of course Frank Beamer, who seemed larger than life to me growing up. I made my way to Foreman Field that day around 1 pm for the 3:30 kickoff, I wanted to really take in everything going on, and get my camera ready.
