Ask TKP: What are your memories of Virginia Tech vs. Texas A&M in 2003? The last time the Hokies played in a Hurricane.

It seems likely that Hurricane Joaquin will be whipping up wind and dumping rain on Lane Stadium for the Hokies vs. Panthers.

I remember the last time Tech played in a hurricane, 2003 against Texas A&M.

These were the days before running back rotations in Blacksburg. Kevin Jones rushed 30 times for 188 yards and Tech won 35-19.

I was a junior and my season tickets were in the North End Zone. The combination of drunk college students, plus a hurricane, led to an obnoxious amount of noise, tons of slipping down the bleachers and a raucous environment.

If you made it to Lane that night, share your experience with the class.
