This weekend the forecast was a 90% chance of rain and many said a 50% chance of a Georgia Tech upset. The last time Georgia Tech won in Charlottesville, Virginia was in 1990 and they became national champions. The Jackets haven't won at UVA since. The College GameDay crew proved they haven't learned over this season to have a little faith in us as a team! Lee picked UVA to win! Not so fast my friend!
Georgia Tech was so gracious to let the coaches wives tag along for the trip. We got to go on the field with the team the day before the game and they treated us to dinner! Here I am with all the ladies including Coach Johnson's wife and Daughter on the UVA field! 
The topic of conversation among the wives was superstitions and traditions. One of the wives wears a gold and diamond football pin to every game... the only game she missed wearing it to was the Miami game where we lost... she hasn't forgotten it since. Many families always eat the same food or at the same restaurants on Thursday night. One family will not cook, but will not sit at a restaurant... they have to go out, get food, and bring it home! Many of the women talked about how their husbands have the same routine for home games and away... including phone calls to family members before the game. Some women shared that their husbands have to wear the same suit to the game, or the same clothes on gameday all the way down to socks and underwear... Laundry takes up a lot of their time just for gameday! One superstition we discussed before the game was that we won the last wives trip game last year! And so the superstition lives on!
My superstitions and traditions are simple... I wear my gold Commitment necklace to every game. I wear my hair curled to the game. We always order St. Angelo's pizza, wings, and salad on gameday whether the team is home or away!

The colors in Virginia were beautiful
During the whole game it rained, it poured, the sun broke through, then it monsooned, then it was cloudy and quiet! We saw it all and were soaked in the process! But we had a blast! And, If I may say so... we look amazing...especially since we had just taken a 3 hour shower! Thank you Lord for letting that person figure out waterproof mascara!
Finally, as we made our way to the plane at the end of the day, the sun was shining and the sky was so beautifully blue! It was the calm after our storm!
Now we lead the Coastal Division and if we win out our season, we will be in the ACC championship game in Tampa on December 5th! We are one mile further down the road to Tampa! Next week we try to scare up some points on Halloween night at Vanderbilt!
