NORFOLK, Va. - Let me begin by stating the obvious. Old Dominion’s stunning, 49-35, football victory over 13th-ranked Virginia Tech Saturday night was the biggest sports triumph in school history.
And by that, I mean the biggest victory in any sport.
Others may disagree and say it was the 1975 Division II national basketball championship. There were the three national titles won by the Lady Monarch basketball team. And who can forget the ODU basketball victory over No. 1 DePaul?
But football is the big dog in college athletics and for the first time in its football history, ODU landed a blow worthy of national attention.
