Homecomings are great. The school designates a fall weekend for its alumni to come visit, schedules an easy football opponent, and everyone gets to reminisce about the good times watching some stress-free football.
Leave it to Georgia Tech to decide something commonly considered to be easy..... shouldn’t be. When looking at the 2009 football schedule, Tech could have set homecoming that year a little early and picked UNC, or set it a little late and picked Wake Forest. Instead, it picked the only home October game on the schedule: Virginia Tech.
Everyone knew right away it was going to be a tough game.
