First, a disclaimer from Mojo: “I was picking the halftime score, not the final. And you, you sniveling idiot, you went and put it down as the final score. I hate you.”
Monkey needs an attitude check. I swear.
Kudos to Virginia for playing Earth, Wind & Fire’s “Shining Star” just before halftime. Made me think of Elaine’s little kicks dance during the company party at J. Peterman’s.
OK… game-related stuff. Tech has no business being in the lead here. Virginia’s Jameel Sewell threw an ugly interception in Tech territory. Who it was intended for, only Brandon Flowers knows. He’s the cat who intercepted the ball. Three plays later, Sean Glennon was hitting Eddie Royal for a 39-yard touchdown pass. Virginia safety Byron Glaspy is still looking for the ball.
Then Virginia’s Joe Torchia fumbles the ensuing kickoff at his own 37, giving the Hokies a shot to score right before halftime. At first, Jud Dunlevy came out to attempt a 54-yard field goal, but after a Virginia timeout, Tech tried a Hail Mary instead. It didn’t work. UVa should consider itself lucky.
