Today at the VT women's game at 4PM, VT will retire Kitley's number. 1/2 time!
Game is against Luis' vile birdbrains.
Be there or be square.

I'll be wearing a long sleeve maroon effect 2014 shirt.
Congrats to Kitley.
A well-deserved honor.
Props for Liz thanking Hokie Nation and telling them to come out in force for the current team as well!
Great presentation with a minor audio screwup, got the bobble head.
In an admittedly petty way I was glad Georgia's message was part of the audio screwup since she couldn't be bothered to not wear a Kentucky sweatshirt for the recording. I definitely heard a lot of groaning and booing when she appeared wearing that.
But, I can also see it that VT Athletics probably asked Georgia to record something for Liz early Sunday morning as she was heading to their sports complex to get ready for her game that day.
Any pictures from this in attendance?
Yup, I was in that line somewhere. We had a lot of fun discussing if Tech could have thought of a worse way to distribute the bobble heads. The answer was pretty much no. They did it the worst possible way.
We did not even bother. It wasn't clear what was going on and It was just a mass of people with no clear goal.
The bobble heads were for people that had bought them (I wasn't paying $30 for one). At the game they announced that season ticket holders were entitled to one for free. One per account, not per seat.
Too bad they didn't email donors to see if they wanted one.
I'd have bought one.
Edit: For some reason I didn't get an email, but others did. Don't know why, as I've participated in these sorts of things before, and have donated to women's basketball, but haven't bought season tix. Maybe it was caught in spam, who knows, but I did search for "Kitley" and "bobblehead" - nothing.
I did get an email asking if I wanted to buy one.
Do you have season tickets?
I got an email too. I've never been anywhere close to season tickets.
