Best Pressbox View in the ACC
Granted, Georgia Tech's not competing with the BYUs and Colorados of the world, but it's still pretty nice to be able to look up from your laptop and take in the Atlanta skyline. Unfortunately, thanks to the weather, you can only see the lower half of the skyscrapers downtown. One other drawback - it's open air. So if the winds shift the right way and the rain picks up, you may have a lot of short-circuited computers on press row.
What about the game you ask? Should be interesting. Just as the loss to UNC did some serious damage to the psyche of Wolfpack nation, it appears the Yellow Jackets' blowout loss to Virginia Tech has also lowered confidence and expectations in Atlanta. Put it this way - one team's fan base will be pleasantly surprised after tonight, while the other will sink further into a funk.
I don't know why, but I've got a feeling the Wolfpack might reverse recent history against Tech tonight. Call it reverse karma - now that State's finally the underdog against the Jackets, maybe they'll be able to pull the upset.

Looks like you were right about the outcome, Jim.
That last play was freakin' amazing. Whole seasons turn on events like those.
So is State going to run with it, or will they choke next week?

I haven't had the chance to check out the view at Tech. I do like the backdrop of the mountains behind the scoreboard (the one opposite the hill and Howard's rock) at Clemson.
That was indeed an awesome play at the end.
State's next three games are certainly winable, although that doesn't mean much this year.
