The Hokie women flirted with disaster on Sunday, finally dispatching of a surprising Rhode Island team that almost pulled off an upset to rival the Temple victory over Tech in football this past year. Bonnie was pretty hard on the team in the post-game, and so was I . Last year, Tech's women sprinted towards the finish line, but this year, it's looking more like a limp than a sprint.
Perception is a funny thing.
I think the women had more momentum at this time last year, but then again, we expected less of them. With the winning comes heightened expectations, not just because of what we think about them and their abilities, but because of what they can do for us , and for Virginia Tech. It may be, but a lot of the expectations come from Bonnie and the players themselves. They believe in themselves, and they expect themselves to do well, and darn it, when you see Bonnie so cool and calm at the helm, we the fans just expect it. And it is.
