I don't remember that, but I do remember the "Hurricane Bowl" we played vs Virginia Tech in Blacksburg in 2002. The game was played during a tropical storm/borderline hurricane 1, and the winds were so strong that punts basically went straight up and down. I think one might have actually gone backwards.

I remember that one, too. Living in Virginia Beach I had tickets to that game, but had to hunker down for Hurricane Isabel. I watched the game on a small B&W holding the tickets in my hand. Isabel went all the way to Blacksburg.

I remember that one too. It was 2003 though. I remember sitting in the kitchen with no power(in Richmond) listening to the game on a battery powered radio. The only reason I know for a fact that it was 2003 was because I was still without power that Saturday and had to watch The LSU-UGA game at a bar. I ended up getting soo plastered I woke up the next day going, "I think we won 17-10"
