That's all this was. Flush it. Our school has won 4 games there. In history. There is something accursed about that place. The last coach to do it before Johnson was Ross in 1990. Dodd never won a game there, Heisman never won a game there, Alexander never won a game there, O'Leary never won a game there. (I know)

Your engineer brains are going to try to analyze this. You're going to assume that the bedrock of your thought processes here, things like "cause" and "effect" apply and can be used to draw conclusions or extrapolate future results.

You're wrong, gents. Maybe some of you haven't learned this about the world yet, but every once in a while you're just plain wrong. There's no explaining it, you thought you had it all figured out, but there it is.

Onward to VT.

I'll explain it for you. We suck. Our coaching staff sucks.
 
Bobby Ross must have sold his soul back in 1990 to have won that UVA game. Apparently we are still under the repercussions for that action.

Hooville is a house of horrors for Tech. It is what it is.

Did Dodd ever play a game there?

UT played Virginia in 1927 (but in Knoxville) but Dodd didn't join the team until 1928. UT didn't play UVa when Dodd was playing there (1928 and 1929).

So the short answer is that there is no evidence Dodd ever set foot in Charlottesville as a player or as a coach.
 
To get psychobabbly about it. We have played most of our opponents at their psychological peak. Which sucks and is just part of the misfortune of this season.

A Miami team after a crushing loss to FSU and NOT undefeated is a mix different team than the one we faced.

A UT team at game one and Ranked is much different than the one now.

A Clemson team after a loss to chew on for two weeks and our game being the only potential stumbling block to make the NC State game mean anything sucked

And a UVA team being challenged to fight and make a bowl game sucked to play against.

Timing has a lot to do with everything.
