Record: 2-1
Lock of the Week:
Georgia Tech

Virginia Tech -11
A lot of pigskin prognoticators are putting the Hokies in the Rose Bowl, but I'm not drinking that Kool-aid. The Jackets are notorious for covering as road underdogs. A great defense and strong running game are recipes for success when playing away from home. Virginia Tech will not be able to run the ball against the Jacket's front seven. Lil' Vick's weakness will be exposed as he will be forced to make plays through the air.
With that said, I still don't know if Georgia Tech can pull off the upset. Ball's status is still questionable and, even if he does play, he will not be 100%. Damarius Bilbo's emergence as a good second receiver will do wonders for Tech's offense now that defenses cannot fully concentrate on shutting down Calvin.
When a game is this hard to call, you have to look at intngibles. Georgia Tech leads the nation in turnover margin and has a reliable kicker in Travis Bell. Finally, Gameday is coming to Blacksburg. The home team is 0-3 this year when Gameday comes to town.
Give me the Jackets by 4.

Also pay attention to the gameday broadcast Saturday morning. Lee Corso has picked against Tech twice this season, and he is 0-2 in those picks.
Did y'all know Holly Ruff got knocked up and married? Gross.
No, but I know you got knocked up. Booyah! But seriously, that is pretty nasty.
UPDATE: Reggie Ball has been upgraded to Probable. He took most of the snaps with the first team offense at Thursdays practice and said he felt very good afterwards. Take the points and run. Heed my rules on betting for Tech.
No, I didn't know about Holly. That's ruff.
To quote Corso, Not so fast my friend. As a Tech alum/fan, I feel violated after watching that debacle.
