With a better understanding as to why the game this weekend will/will not be sold out, let's switch gears a little bit and focus on who will be attending. I've waxed poetic in prior posts about how this site in conjuction with social media outlets like twitter have allowed readers to match faces with names on game days. I still believe firmly in this effort and hope this weekend will be yet another opportunity to do just that.
If you are as amped about the game and eager to meet the fine folks here please feel free to use the space below to tell us where you will be and possibly where you're sitting.
To start things off I'll provide my account of the day. Use the timeline at your own disposal.

8:00 am: Realize its Gameday and text every Hokie fan I know ITS HANDCART because that's how my phone autocorrects "GameDay" as I'll undoubtedly still be a little Drunj.

I will be heading up there with 4 others (only one of which is a Hokie). I'm a little upset that I cannot introduce them to a true VT game day experience - but I will try. One has never experienced college football, so it'll be totally new for him. Another is a Bama alum, but we're civil until the start of next year (she will be wearing VT colors tomorrow, so that's a win!).
We'll be in an Audi Q7, so look for us on the outskirts of one of the lots. We'll have beer, liquor and grilled foods.
We're in: Section 133/Row 9/Seats 1-6
- yeah only 5 of us going - looks like I'm eating the cost of that last ticket...
I'm Sorry
When I go to Virginia Tech "road" games we always lose and yes, unfortunately I will be at FedEx field tomorrow just as I was for USC & Boise State. I'm taking 3 die hard Hokie fans with me and meeting up with many more. We are sitting in Row 1 of section 123, seats 1-4. Got a great deal on Stub Hub this morning! Patience paid off!
Here's to hoping that we break the FedEx field curse tomorrow!
You and me both
Boise St and SugarBowl for me :/
