I'm making this post later than normally because the Virginia Tech - William & Mary football game ran from 2:00 to about 5:30.  In what has to be an unprecedented achievement, three different Tech quarterbacks scored rushing touchdowns, the last one by the third-stringer going for 69 yards.  Besides lots of NCAA gridiron action, here are some things going on:
