To the editor:

I am a huge Virginia Tech fan and I am totally impressed with how University of Kansas students and fans conduct themselves.

After beating us fair and square in the FedEx Orange Bowl, the KU team and fans showed total class. The Jayhawks could have run that last play and attempted to score another touchdown when on the 1-yard line, but they chose to simply take a knee rather than run up the score. Scoring another touchdown would have meant nothing other than demonstrating a greater margin of victory and potentially helping with final poll placement.

I also have spoken to numerous Hokie fans who were in Miami and went out to the bars after the game. Each one of them mentioned the complete class shown by ALL Kansas fans.

It hurts when you care about something so much and lose, but I can honestly say that I have no issue with who we lost to, as your team and representatives of your state and school are fine people who know how to win with class!

I will always be pulling for your Kansas Jayhawks, unless they are playing my beloved Hokies!

Enjoy your time in the football sun, as you deserve it!
