Now the two teams will meet tonight in the Sugar Bowl, however, the team most associated with maintaining their success in recent years not carry the yellow and blue.
Virginia Tech (11-2) has won no fewer than 10 games in eight straight seasons. The Hokies are for your 19va. consecutive appearance in a bowl represents one of the longest streak in the country.
If Virginia Tech has missed something from the significant victory over Texas in the Sugar Bowl of the 1995 season, have been more victories in the BCS championship.
The Hokies have been four since then, losing each one of them, including two in the Sugar Bowl, once against national champion Florida State in the 1999 season and again against Audurn undefeated team in 2004 - 05.
"We have had great victories and we did a great job to get here," said the experienced coach at Virginia Tech, Frank Beamer, yesterday before posing for the cameras with Michigan coach, Brady Hoke, and Sugar Bowl trophy.
"Now we take the next step and get our pit BCS victories ... The challenge for Virginia Tech and the ACC is, at this time, not just to get here, but to win. "
Beamer has already shown how serious it is for him to emphasize how much the players is more important to win than to celebrate, to send home the kicker Tyler Weiss for violating the curfew. Virginia Tech that left a little weak in that area, as the main kicker, Cody Journell, had made the trip back after his recent arrest for alleged raid on a home.
Still, this could be the year to catch Virginia Tech at Michigan (10-2) in a BCS Bowl, at least in terms of dealing with a gang of relatively inexperienced Wolverines in this type of game.
