Thoughts on Saturday

I moved to Atlanta last year and didn't make it up to Blacksburg last season. It was great to be back in town and go to a game.

- Great atmosphere for the game. Not a sellout but there was a solid crowd.
- It was HOT in the east stands.
- I liked the paint scheme on the field. I think a maroon background in one end zone and an orange in the other would look awesome. I was really surprised that there was not a Lane Stadium 50 year logo on the field.
- Why does the marching band run onto the field? It looks awful and chaotic. My wife was in an SEC marching band and she points it out every time. It'd look nicer if they MARCHED onto the field. There was also a point where members of the band (guys with the cymbals for sure) were running through the band like they were birds.
- Something needs to be done about concessions. I was on the lower east side and stood in line for over half of a quarter to get a couple bottles of water. I ended up leaving before getting them because it was taking too long. People working the register were also going back to put together and pick up orders and it also looked like there was one machine to run cards. It was ridiculous. Is there an email or website where you can send comments to VT? On hot days they should have ice buckets with drinks scattered around the concourses.
- I didn't mind the music that they were playing to get the students going, but there was one song that was pretty bad. It'd be nice if they mixed in some rock also.

Game thoughts:
- I thought Brewer looked great. He always had his eyes down field (the I. Ford TD), showed some quickness when he needed to scramble, and threw some really nice balls.
- I was happy to see that the two freshman RBs are the co-starters this week. They were awesome and had much better games than JC Coleman. I like JC, but he he doesn't fit in the VT style.
- How nice was it to have TEs all over the place? It makes a huge difference.
- Defense was solid. I think W&M had some success when we had the DL backups in the game. Fuller's play in the end zone was insane.
- I hope kick returns improve. I think we'll need it this Saturday.
