This game remains one of the real head scratchers in Tech history.

It's not even 6:30 and I have already read the NY Times.
Oh well. Another thing I did was think about ACC teams playing on the road and how often they lose. This game bubbles to the top. Last year the Heels came to Atlanta undefeated at home, but with a road loss to Illinois in the Big Ten Challenge. We smacked them down in a blowout. No one will claim we were as good as UNC last year, but, especially, nowhere close to 20 points better, Maybe ACC teams would fare better on the road if they played more road games in the pre-conference schedule.
Here is a link to a story by Jared Diamond that supports that claim:

Good post.
Seems most ACC teams are intimidated on the road by other ACC teams.
