TIL WVU and VA Tech play for a Black Diamond, that the Hokies Twitter feed has been trolling the **** out of cause today was the first time since 2005 they played, so it's been in Blacksburg for like 4,800 days lol
Interesting thing is that some random fan does that account for both the Black Diamond Trophy (WVU) and the Commonwealth Cup (UVa). ESPN showed it was a verified account last night, but it most certainly isn't, so I'm not sure how that happened. Also interesting to note that despite us not playing WVU since 2005 (and getting the BDT with the 2004 win) that we've held the Commonwealth Cup for only a month or so less. And yes, we play UVa every year. 13 in a row, and 17 of the last 18 over the Hoos. Been a 1-sided rivalry for a very long time.
Couple of penalties, like the one on Dana, could have won that one.
You could say similar for VT as well. Missed 2 FGs that Slye rarely misses, and had 2 shots for a TD on our first scoring drive that resulted in a FG due to errant throws. We left 10 points out there, easily. But that's football for ya. We've been on the short end of that stick too many times to count, so its good to finally have one fall our way.
