As a UVa football fan for 35 seasons, most of them painful, I decided this was the Hoos year to beat the Hokees in Blacksburg. I was so confident, I made a bet with Hokee faithful, Burt. The bet: the loser must Q a workout wearing the winning team’s apparel / gear. What I didn’t know was what Burt, the Hokee superfan had in store for me… A biker jersey, neon gloves, a hat with wig attached and much more to choose from.

Congratulations to Burt and the Hokees for a phenomenal 6-6 season as their bowl streak continues. The Independence, Military and Quick Lane Bowls appear to be the most likely potential destinations for Tech (6-6, 3-5 Atlantic Coast Conference). My prediction, a 6-7 2014 season for Beamer and his boys.

Thanks to the PAX at Danger Zone for letting me Q in Cary. Apparently, Cee Lo was hoping I didn’t learn my lesson and attempted to make a bet with me. Alabama versus Missouri. I politely turned it down.

Since it’s basketball season, I decided to stick with a Hokee theme and bring a few bricks Va Tech threw up against UVA in multiple losses to the Hoos.

Each Pax grabbed two bricks to keep for the entire workout
