Bleed Blue

Last night made the trip down to Blacksburg to watch the VT Hokies play the UNC Tar Heels. Since I could care less for either school I wore my Michigan attire with pride. I beleive I am a Michigan Man so not going to hide my colors.
Surprisingly enough, I can't tell you how many fans from both teams came up to me during the day (tailgated from 11-7 before the game) and gave me five or yelled out Go BLUE! Or just said comments like, "In 2 years you'll have a national title and be unstoppable!".
I find it realitively humorous, that most of our fan base can't see this, however people I don't even know can. Most of the people I spoke to knew college football and weren't just saying this to humor me. Most of them remember Rich Rod quiet well also from his time a WVA since that was a big rivalary when VT was Big East.
Once in the stands I must say it was pretty damn comical that Hokie Fans started making random cracks on Michigan because of their own insecurities. I guess cheering for both teams is frowned upon in lane stadium. Understandable I suppose. After UNC dished out the L - I can say this Michigan Man had the last laugh. Even snapped a picture of a crying Hokie fan - This Man gave me crap the entire game so it was VERY BITTER SWEET. I gave him the welcome to 5-3 and said, well what's your excuse?
Guess in Closing - We need to settle down and have some faith as fans. Other Programs that have witnessed RRs programs know better than to think doom n gloom as it seems our fans have. We're headed in the right direction just keep the faith and good things are coming our way.
GO BLUE!
