Someone should send this to the people at Fox Sports.

Welcome Home Virginia Tech Football?

Did we go somewhere? Or are they assuming we are welcoming back our ACC winning ways this year.

Yikes, seemed like a not-so-subtle dig at Weaver and the myriad of uniform disasters we've seen at home over the last few years with him in charge, especially having heard Whit reiterate how he wants VT football to go back to its traditional ways with the uniform.

And that therapy comes int he form of a Thursday night game at Lane!
(I'm ok with the jab...honestly. I mean the vibe has been much more positive FOR the product on the field versus the game times or possible green unis that have occurred in the past. Whit is doing a great job thus far!)

I think we are reading too much into this. Just welcoming us back from the off season.

yep. definitely not a dig at weaver in any way whatsoever, if only because of the class act that is Whit Babcock

These people are losing their mind.

Lane Stadium has a really deep dark voice. I like it!!

@AMB4VT

The deep voice comes from having large Hokie Stones.

Here's your leg. That was a good one. :)

THIS!

Alright. This will wrap up the joke portion of this comment. No other submissions needed.

Loved pretty much all of it. Only two things I noticed but overall phucking awesome

1) I find it funny that they show a girl getting tossed in the air in the student section given how much they crack down on it, and
2) I really thought the ending was the weakest part. "Welcome Home Virginia Tech Football" should have been a more intense ending to "I... AM... LANE STADIUM." or something like that.

anyway splitting hairs because really that was cool

Maybe the "Welcome Home" was to make the fans feel guilty about breaking the sell-out streak?

The Dude Abides

The guy they show right before the girl getting thrown is definitely doing a "Stick It In" hip thrust.

Not the bagman VT deserves, but the bagman VT needs right now.

Now Whit is just toying with us. He knows we are going to notice these things and make wild assumptions as to game day experience for the rest of the month.

well played Whit, well played

He's TOTALLY sticking it in!!!! Aaaaahhhh, I'm going to go run through a wall!

I'll be honest. I get nervous when I see people throwing girls near the top of East stands on the edges. One bad throw and, oh man I don't even want to think about it.

I feel the same way every time I see the Hokie Bird go crowd surfing up near the top of the stadium

"We were at the pinnacle, and we did it for years," Foster says. He pauses, nods, takes a deep breath. "And I did it with the best guy in the business."

Does anyone know what the countdown clock is counting to? It looks like it's going to expire next Monday at noon.

These people are losing their minds!

I'm 50% on whether you are being sarcastic or not

Can't tell if serious or sarcastic

Good lookin out. Looks like it's going to be a pretty cool website when it goes live

These people are losing their minds!

I really wish they would put videos up using YouTube. I guess I can imagine how awesome this video is.

Edit:
Apparently, there heard me complaining!

you seriously think a top ten engineering and technology university that "invents the future" would use anything other than 00's era video publishing online? come on man

Its basically this happening for 3 minutes

Am I mistaken or did I see a very quick clip of a fan doing the "Stick It In" gesture?

Yes, just before they toss the girl.

This is going to be great for the ACC.

I didn't realize that the first game ever in Lane was against Bill & Mary. My displeasure in playing them this year is gone now that I know it's in essence a celebration of 50 years of Lane.

Whether or not it was intentional, its pretty cool that the first 50 years of Lane came full circle like that.

With that being said, I just hope we don't suck for the next 30 years, like we did for the first 30.

Well, now this is timely.
FedEx just delivered a 184 page book on 2014 VT Football.

Looks like it's from the Athletic department, I'm guessing a season ticket holder bonus.

This is going to be great for the ACC.

Have they done this in previous seasons? Or is this #JustWhitThings

First for me.

Yeah, actually it was UPS and they say it's from VA TECH-TICKET OFFICE.

This is going to be great for the ACC.

Can you send me a copy? Haha.

Live for 32. Ut Prosim. Let's Go, Hokies.

Last week, we got the car magnet and the extra Hokie Club stickers. We normally just get stickers... So I was excited.

Just another example of Whit's awesomeness. Typically you get a standard letterhead one-pager thanking you with a sticker (in a regular envelope). This year's is a very high-end looking (and probably expensive) four-way folded, full-color brochure with 2 exterior stickers, a magnet (oddly sized the same as a license plate) and interior sticker. The production value and effort put into it is obvious.

Whit just gets it. Really feels like the athletic fund (Hokie Club) finally appreciates the members...novel concept!

We put the K in Kwality

Yea I kind of wished they finished with, "This is Lane Stadium" or at least the title of the video, I am Lane Stadium. Other than that, this video was pretty awesome.

Bleeding burnt orange and chicago maroon

Oh Lane Stadium, you sexy, I wanna be in you ;)

"Win or lose we'll greet you with a glad returning!"

Video was awesome Bill & Mary cant get here soon enough
