Before I get into the crux of this article, I want to reflect on last week and give Big Blue Nation some major credit.
The atmosphere for the game was absolutely special on every level. The noise level was big boy football, the players running onto the field felt like seeing UT run through the T, and Virginia Tech's enter sandman (and yes, I have witnessed them both in person).
The students were there at least a half hour before the game and most everyone was there well before kickoff. It was a BLUE OUT on every level.
