Because we usually start with the good things, let’s do that because the very bitter taste is partially alleviated by some really good things that happened on Friday evening. But before we apply the ‘good’ mouth wash, there needs to be something said up front because the ugliest part of this game wasn’t on the Hokies. Realistically it also wasn’t completely on Miami, either, though they sure didn’t say much about much during the game or in the aftermath.
We won’t hurl any accusations, here, but we will note that very few of the sports pundits commenting on the situation and more than a few fans might be justified in noting that the officiating in the game was abysmal and ultimately fatally so for Tech’s hopes.
