Thats great. Well played
LOLUVA Security:
Or, I guess its really #GOACC Security...
omg 2FUNNY
I want to give him credit, I really do but...wait...no I don't. He's a UVA fan. He's not even a student! Screw UVA
The best UVA fan goes to JMU, how LOLUVA is that!?!
meh, I went to jmu, as an adult mind you but I'm an alum. a lot of jmu kids root for other schools. my wife got her master's from jmu after vt and wore tech gear like every day. a friend told her she was a duke now and her response was, "man fuck jmu!" that's my girl.
Credit where credit is due. Nice job, wahoo lover.
Whoa, we have a winner. Nicely done, kid, nicely done.
I know this kid, he went to my high school. Typical Danny
Someone say Danny?

I think this is fantastic. We've all been there, whether it was a party we crashed, a hotel hospitality room, or walking into a private club like you own the place. Kudos to him! The greater the risk=the greater the reward.
A fellow redditor?
They gotta get TimeCop to start traveling as their security guard.
Apparently he has a history of pulling things like this off. This guy is a legend.
Uhh.. lets just say I know a guy.... that did something very similar for the VT @ UVa Football game this season. This guy that I know really well lives in Richmond and his roommate works for a small newspaper that is affiliated with the Richmond Times Dispatch. A few months before the game he was given the opportunity to request media passes for the game. He did so knowing that he couldn't go, but his roommate a VT alum would realllyyyy like to go for free and take a shot and getting on the field and press areas. Fast forward a few months. Press pass and photographer pass are on the kitchen table. :)
Fast forward again to game day. Show up, tailgate for a few hours and build up confidence. After tailgating change into khaki pants, a white VT athletic polo and a throw on maroon VT fleece. Gotta look the part, you know. Get to the gate. Flashed the media pass to the Ticket Usher. He tells me that Media check-in is a couple gates down, but to just come on through. Walked over to the grass hill about 10 minutes before kickoff. I am a few beers and a few bourbon shots in at this point so I was feeling pretty badass. I walked past all these snob job UVa students trying to heckle me for being in their "student section." I made a couple standard UVa jokes... Decade of Dominance is about to happen, Spring Game attendance (I don't think they understood, because they probably aren't aware they have a spring game. Seriously). Get down to the Security Guards and I did some stereotyping and picked a female security guard that looked like she was my age and probably hungover. Showed her the pass and asked if I could step onto the field to take a few pictures before the game for the newspaper. She lets me right on through and then the fun began.
I walked around the field pretending to take notes until kick off then settled in right between the VT bench and the cheerleaders. Spent the entire first quarter there, but then I needed let some of the bourbon out so I figured I would just walk to the end zone entrance to the field and try to find a bathroom. I roamed around under the stadium until I found a bathroom and the UVa locker room. I opened the door to the locker room and met my first bit of resistance from UVa security. I apologized and walked back to the field.
Settle back in right next to Shane and Grimes. It was awesome. Stayed in that area for the rest of the game. Was one of the best days of my life. I took tons of pictures too, but I can't upload them from work.
A few side notes that you guys will be interested in - Grimes was a hell of a coach, between every series he had all the O line guys together talk about the previous drive and he would ask them how they could improve next time on O. He was the most energetic of the coaches throughout the game. Unfortunately, the O line didn't share that same energy or fire. It was disappointing. Shane is also a solid coach. He seem to be in touch with all the players and not just the RBs. Logan was the tallest guy on the field by far. JC looked smaller in real life than he does on TV or the stands believe it or not. I am 6'1 200 pounds and I wasn't really blown away by the overall size of the team. Of course guys like Gayle and Maddy looked big, but overall it was easy to see how a team built like Stanford could have their way with us. Oh, Trey's leg break was gross. I will just leave it at that. Sadly, I will be surprised if he gets carries before October. Nasty! I would NEVER do anything to piss Bud Foster off. Holy hell that guy is intense from 10 yards away. If you are soft at all then you couldn't handle playing for Bud and that probably explains why some guys that we have high hopes for never develop. I didn't see much of CFB but what I did see what about what you would expect/see on TV. I expected more energy and comradery from the team as a whole. The guys seemed down and the environment was sterile. The defense had a lot more energy than the offense, but the D plays lights out and the offense only managed one TD all game against a UVa team that sucked.
All in all, great experience watching the game from the sideline and being part of the team for a game.
That is an awesome story. I think some of the attitudes you saw were a result of the whole season almost wrapped up with the issues we all saw weighing heavy on their mind. A different, more productive season would produce a different vibe in that scene. Us fans place a lot of pressure on these guys and you saw the result.
Sounds like you had an interesting lunch that day...
I thought the same thing. Two down seasons in a row why should I expect the players to have the same energy as I do for a game. But, it was the UVa game so I thought they would be a little more jacked up. However, you could sense that they were playing with the scared to lose mentality. No killer instinct.
Oh, left off the most important part. When Sam Rogers threw that trick play TD pass to LT I completely lost it. It was obvious I wasn't a real media guy when two airplane bottles of fighting cock fell out of my fleece pockets. The UVa fans in the stands behind our bench really gave me crap for that. "Even their reporters drink during the game..." haha it was classic.
This is f-king AWESOME!
I like how you didn't even bother to explain the pretense of "the guy you know" from the first paragraph and just dropped it altogether to "I" for the rest of the way.
Awesome story man
I read it before posting and noticed that I got excited and started writing in first person, but then realized how much work it would require to fix it so I clicked post. O well haha
Well...you are a guy you know, aren't you?
