Down but not out.  This seems to be the Wahoo mentality these past several weeks.  Except for this week.  This week, they’re on top of the world.

No one saw this coming.  Not even me, the blindly loyal fan who sees a national championship-caliber team year-in, year out.  Alright, I know.  I’ve been trying to root against UVA this season in hopes of getting a changing of the coaching staff guards.  But you see, it’s all in the best interests of UVA!  I was willing to sacrifice one season for the betterment of all future seasons.  It takes a truly devout fan to make such commitments.

In any event, was anyone else as absolutely furious at Al Groh as I was when he got the sideline interference penalty?  As it turned out, we were still able to pull off the win.  But can you imagine the heat he’d be getting had Georgia Tech managed to get a touchdown on that drive?  Egad.

This is easily the most painful season for me to watch.  I see UVA make a great play, and I instinctively celebrate, but then immediately am torn, since the more great plays UVA makes, the smaller the chance of a new coach.  Alas.

At this point, it doesn’t look like losing out our season will do us any good on the Coach front.  Does that mean I should return to happily rooting for the Cavs again?  I don’t know.

In any event.  It was great to see Carolina win and Virginia Tech lose.  All is good in the world.  Except Duke won.  What’s up with that??
