What I've seen in college football, you have your moments to shine on the national stage. many programs get one or two opportunities over 10-15 years. VT has had many, but every time close but no cigar

Thats the difference between the ala, oklahoma etc and teams that want to be in that level.

actually clemson has recognized that, and has performed on the national stage when needed. and the buzz continues. they have bought national equity......
