Congratulations are in order for the Virginia Tech Hokies on winning the 2008 ACC Championship game. Unlike Boston College, Virginia showed up ready to play and executed their effective gameplan from the first snap on a Sunny afternoon in Tampa.
Though he had been the subject of much criticism by VT fans in recent weeks, Head Coach Frank Beamer deserves credit for this blow-out victory.Boston College, which looked flat from their first three and out offensive series, never seemed to have a chance in this game - despite cutting the Hokies lead to 14-7 and halftime.
Although Hokies quarterback Tyrod Taylor, who earned the game MVP, was contained for the most part (he rushed for 52 yards on 11 carries and was 11-of-19 for 84 yards passing), tailback Darren Evans rushed for 114 yards on 31 carries, the most any running back had gained this season against BC.
SuperfansNot surprisingly, the BC fans were few and far between, but for the few thousand that were there, hats off for showing your support to the Eagles!

I understand why we lost, but I'm not happy about it. Still very disappointed.
Swofford was out of his mind to put this game in Florida. This game deserves 70,000 fans in Charlotte.
Go BC - beat Vanderbilt and keep this streak going - it's important to send the seniors off on a winning note.
They have beaten South Carolina (Outback Bowl) and Mississippi (Cotton Bowl)and are dangerous because we'll be (over) confident.
Besides, a win should get us into the Top 25 Final Polls. This game was a sellout last year - Kentucky over Florida State. Let's do our part.
Hey, let's pump some blood back into this blog! I enjoyed reading it...please resurrect it!
Just wondering if you'd want to use this post that LostLettermen.com did with former BC QB Paul Peterson.
Check it out.
