own a winning streak heading into their
bowl game. But what they do own is
respect. Frank Beamer has built his
program into 1 that is talked about on

a national scale.

That is where Louisville, Tech's
opponent in the Gator Bowl would like
to be, in order to do that they must
make their way to the top of their own
state. Travis Wells explains that

Freedom Hall, home to Rick
Pitino's Final Four basketball team
comes in a close second.

But these days Bobby Petrino is
enticing the masses to Papa John
Stadium to watch his Louisville
football team.

The Cards are making their 8th
straight bowl appearance, their third
in a row under Petrino. It's a team
starting to garner national attention,
and one that is still learning to play
against the college big boys--a group
that Petrino feels the Hokies
definitely belong to.

BOBBY PETRINO/LOUISVILLE HEAD COACH:

EDDIE ROYAL/HOKIES WIDE RECEIVER:

Building a program is one thing,
but dealing with the heightened
expectations is something else
entirely. Just ask Frank Beamer, whose
fan base includes some who are

disappointed with a 10 and 2 season.

FRANK BEAMER/HOKIES HEAD COACH:

The Hokies are 7 and a half
