Virginia Tech has agreed to play Boise State in 2010 and 2011. Syracuse, a team previously slated to be completely face-raped by the Hokies in those years, backed out of a scheduled home-and-home recently … so the Hokies went looking for some better competition.

Rumor has it that the Hokies’ 2010 season will open against Boise State at FedEx Field, site of the USC kickoff game five years ago. The 2011 game will be played in Blacksburg. Virginia Tech gets to benefit greatly from the deal, making what could be considered two home games out of the plan, and it brings a west coast team (and its exposure) to an east coast program that likes to play on grass - not blue turf. Dan Snyder is also laughing from his lair in Hell.
