The Real Culprit

Saturday night, Virginia Tech played the University of Miami in Blacksburg. VT was ranked #3 and Miami was ranked #5. VT was dominated and outplayed. There is enough blame to go around. Blame Vick, the offense line, and the coaches. However, there is another that may be to blame. According to Randy King, of the Roanoke Times, one "had to wonder if all the outside media hoopla leading up to the kick off possibly suffocated the favored Hokies." So there, Mr. King suggests that the MEDIA may be partly responsible.

I do not believe this is the case. Tech was out played Saturday. Miami was the better team that night. If VT expects to play top ranked teams, they better learn to handle media attention.
