What's this?

Interestingly, there was an studio analyst on ESPN during breaks from

our game a week ago or so..forget which game. Was not familiar with himblack fella. Several times at halftime and other times they cut to him, he said something like "Virginia Tech not Vah Tech". And at one point said "don't say Vah Tech". He was being a bit humorous as he was saying it,, but I'm sure ESPN has been informed by our fans many times.
