Another loss in Blacksburg, and the room's best idea is hating Georgia in October while calling for Key.

What happened

Another Saturday in Blacksburg, another trip home with nothing. Georgia Tech lost 24-34 at Virginia Tech, and the turning point was less a single snap than the moment the outcome stopped feeling in doubt and the fanbase started checking the clock. By then one poster had already decided he had "better things to do with my Saturday afternoon," with "Fire Key" attached for emphasis. At 2-4, the loudest voice in the room skipped the game entirely to say "To Hell With georgia." Deflection as a coping mechanism, and it was the most popular thing anyone said all week.
