Pumped for the big game
Posted at 12:00 pm on Friday, February 9th, 2007 by VinceJust a quick post before tomorrow’s game, which is one of the biggest games of the year. UVA is presently tied with BC at the top of the ACC, winners of 7 straight, and we’re in desperate need of a win. I am just as excited for tomorrow’s game as I have been for Virginia Tech football. I fully expect an awesome game.
If you still need your fill of previews for the game, be sure to check out HokiesFullCourt.com and TechHoops.com. They both have articles written by Wahoos, as well as their normal game previews. And I’m sure Techsideline.com will have their preview up soon. TechHoop’s why I hate UVA is fairly amusing, as well.
At any rate, I want Cassell to be loud. I want it to be louder than it was for UNC, and louder than it was for Maryland. I know that’s a lot to ask for, especially because Maryland was really a once-in-a-lifetime all-student type crowd and UNC was #1 when they came to Cassell. But this is the weekend that Virginia comes to town, and this game means more than just bragging rights. In addition to that, check out this quote from an AP article I saw on PilotOnline.com:
“I love to hear the silence of the crowd,” [J.R.] Reynolds said. “That’s why I like to play on the road so much.”
Students, alumni, and every Hokie in Cassell: start yelling before tip-off and don’t stop until the final buzzer. No matter if we’re up by 20 or down by 20, don’t ever be quiet. I want Reynolds to have his ears ring for 3 days after tomorrow’s game!
Go Hokies!
