Whining doesn't turn it into a Win...

Favorite news story of the week: Virginia Tech is a poor loser. This week the players and the coach at Virginia Tech really made a splash about officiating and the legality of blocking they encountered at the game they played against Georgia Tech. Weekly the teams and staff review their game and submit plays they think were incorrectly called or missed by the officials. This information is to be kept confidential and really is all about assisting the officials in becoming better at making correct calls..... The high amount of holding our defense has encountered from other teams this year and the low amount of flags on other teams really causes me some frustration and this week I feel some redemption.... while Virginia Tech was whining about our "illegal" blocks, we were submitting our own tape and they admitted that there were 6 times the Virginia Tech team Held Georgia Tech and the officials missed it! Maybe we will see more flags fly in our favor this season! I will leave you with Heather Dinich's article on this news story!

Posted by ESPN.com's Heather Dinich It hasn't quite reached Lane Kiffin's level yet, but Georgia Tech coach Paul Johnson wasn't afraid to fire back at Virginia Tech after the Hokies made allegations that the Jackets used illegal blocks in their 28-23 win.

Johnson told the Atlanta Journal Constitution on Monday that the allegations were "a joke."

“That’s a joke,” Johnson said Monday. “Put the tape on and watch. Tyler Melton cracked the free safety. He doesn’t even block him. He shields him.

“They got out-schemed. So it’s illegal to out-scheme them, I guess.”

Zing! Oh, and P.S., Johnson said, the officials missed about a half a dozen holding calls on the Hokies. Wow, did Johnson just beat Virginia Tech again? Sounds like it ...
