If there is any one image that comes to mind regarding the Virginia Tech running game is that small merry-go-round in the school yard where the big kids would get it whipping around really fast, and get thrown off, while other kids would try to jump on. The problem was that the little thing was to small for everyone and never stable. Eventually everyone playing the silly game was too beat up and sick to play anymore. It was good fun until you put a hole in your good "school pants" and Mom was not pleased. (Just a note of reality for the casual generation; we who grew up in the 1960's attended school in dress pants, leather soled tie shoes, and button down shirts.
