Cavs rooting for Georgia Tech

After cheering for Maryland over the weekend, Virginia football players, coaches and fans will be pulling hard for another Atlantic Coast Conference rival Thursday night.
This time it's Georgia Tech. In a critical Coastal Division game, the Yellow Jackets (4-3, 7-3) host first-place Miami (4-2, 7-3). Virginia still has a chance to represent the Coastal in the ACC championship game, and Al Groh's team got some help Saturday when Maryland upset North Carolina (3-3, 7-3). Now the Cavaliers (3-3, 5-5) need Georgia Tech to knock off the Hurricanes.
If the Wahoos advance to Tampa, Fla., they'll almost certainly do so by finishing tied for first in the Coastal with Miami, Georgia Tech and UNC, each at 5-3 in ACC play.
Should that happen, the first tiebreaker would be each team's record against the other three. U.Va. and UNC would each be 2-1, and Georgia Tech and Miami would each be 1-2. Because the Cavaliers beat Carolina in their head-to-head matchup, they would then claim the Coastal's spot in the ACC championship game.
For this scenario to play out, Georgia Tech must beat Miami, and then Virginia must win its remaining regular-season games: Saturday against visiting Clemson and Nov. 29 at Virginia Tech (3-3, 6-4). Also, Miami must close the regular season Nov. 29 with a win over N.C. State, and UNC must beat N.C. State on Saturday and Duke on Nov. 29.

More big scary guys stood outside on Elliewood beside their three vehicles with super-dark windows and lots of antennas. One of the inside guys even had what appeared to be some sort of machine gun under his jacket.
