What is it with Syracuse football that they are so infatuated with Virginia Tech football? Let's examine the evidence, shall we?
It started with Michael Vick. Syracuse saw how much VT was interested in the QB and tried their best to flip him. Of course, Vick was either too smart to spend his Winters in Upstate New York (choosing instead to Winter in the
much warmer Shenandoah Mountains), or he couldn't find a good place to keep his dogs in Rochester... I'm not sure.
Next, the conference: Syracuse didn't want to leave the Big East for the ACC at first, but once they saw how much fun Virginia Tech was having (winning football conference championships and stuff), then they wanted in. Followers!
Fast-forward to Oct. 15th, 2016: Virginia Tech at Syracuse. In a season in which the Orange went 4-8, clearly their "Superbowl" was the day the Hokies came to town. Geeked out of their minds to face the team they all had dreamed of playing for someday, the Orange defeated the Hokies in one of the biggest upsets of the season, if not the century.
Now, it's the 2017 Spring Game: of all the dates the Orange could've scheduled their Spring Game, they chose the same day as the Hokies! Again, followers.
Therefore, on behalf of Hokie Nation, I'd like to make a request to Oranges everywhere: Please, stop stalking us! It's getting a little creepy...
