Okay, so my Hokies seriously tanked it to a mediocre Florida State team. Yeah, I'm disappointed but they still had a pretty good year and have the best record in the ACC; even if they aren't the champs.

Of course the silver lining is that I just saved a bunch of money on my car insurance a trip to Miami. Had they gone to the Orange Bowl, it would have cost me at least $1500 for plane tickets, rental cars, hotel rooms, bowl tickets. Considering it's also time to renew our Hokie Club* membership, buy presents, and maybe even fly out to Kansas to spend Christmas the holiday with my sister, December was looking to have serious negative cash flow.

The Hokies will now likely play in the Peach Bowl. They just played in Jacksonville, so the Gator will probably go to Miami. Just as well, I'd rather see us play LSU in the Peach which is what SI is predicting. If all my friends hadn't moved away from Atlanta, I'd probably make the trek down there. We'll see how the month goes.

*Hokie Club = Paying for the right to buy season tickets.

UPDATE: Tech was picked for the Gator Bowl after all. Not sure why the Gator wants us coming back to Jacksonville again. Frankly, I'm sick of going to the Gator Bowl. It's a nice bowl, but we always went there as Big East runner up, and I've been there several times already. I may go to the game, but I doubt it.
