This week’s infographics update is short and sweet. And poignant. And funny. You’ll laugh, you’ll cry … it will become a part of you.
Infographics for this week’s game against Virginia
This one stands alone, and might be the best infographic OXVT has ever produced. “Decade of Dominance” is one thing, but to see what didn’t exist the last time Virginia beat Virginia Tech … well, it really puts it into perspective.
Done laughing yet? How about the next one? There’s only one team that has a goose egg against the Hokies since Tech entered the league in 2004.
As if that’s not enough at risk, the Hokies have to win to continue their bowl streak to 22 seasons. Only FSU has a longer active streak (and they had to vacate their 2006 Emerald Bowl appearance, so officially, they “Tech-nically” don’t have the longest bowl streak).
We’ll return next week with a full update of all of OXVT’s great infographics. Be sure to catch his “tale of the tape” infographic in today’s VT-UVa game preview on TechSideline.com.

Holy Smokes — this is terrific. Amongst the many things I’m thankful for, this site is certainly one of them. Not confidant about Friday’s game — perhaps these graphics could serve as inspiration for the team. Rep the Commonwealth! Happy Thanksgiving everyone.
awesome stuff bro!! It’s amazing the new inventions the world has seen in 10 years
i love my hokies. and i am rooting hard for a victory in this game more than the previous 11.
but my confidence level is at an all time low
hope I’m wrong…
That’s a nice logo for LOLUVA in the last graphic about active bowl streaks! Let’s hope the Hokies can keep that number at 0!
The ACC didn’t exist in 2003?
Not the expanded ACC which that logo represents
