First of all, it&#8217;s fun and that&#8217;s what college football really is all about. Second of all, it&#8217;s probably better than Tech&#8217;s other traditions such as drastically underperforming in big games and failing to meet its fans&#8217; unrealistic expectations. If the Hokies really wanted to give college football fans a good laugh though, they could have just pulled this photo out of the archives.<a href=\"https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/jmusportsblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/upset-scoreboard-j.jpg\"><img data-attachment-id=\"2794\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/jmusportsblog.com\/?attachment_id=2794\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/jmusportsblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/upset-scoreboard-j.jpg?fit=567%2C311&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"567,311\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"upset scoreboard j\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/jmusportsblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/upset-scoreboard-j.jpg?fit=300%2C164&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/jmusportsblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/upset-scoreboard-j.jpg?fit=567%2C311&amp;ssl=1\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2794\" title=\"upset scoreboard j\" src=\"https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/jmusportsblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/upset-scoreboard-j.jpg?resize=510%2C280\" alt=\"\" width=\"510\" height=\"280\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/jmusportsblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/upset-scoreboard-j.jpg?w=567&amp;ssl=1 567w, https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/jmusportsblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/upset-scoreboard-j.jpg?resize=300%2C164&amp;ssl=1 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 510px) 100vw, 510px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<iframe src=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/plugins\/like.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fjmusportsblog.com%2F%3Fp%3D2792&amp;layout=standard&amp;show_faces=true&amp;width=450&amp;action=like&amp;colorscheme=light&amp;height=80\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\" style=\"border:none; overflow:hidden; width:450px; height:80px;\" allowTransparency=\"true\"><\/iframe>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The above photo is from VA Tech&#8217;s media day last week.
