My wife and I were watching the game at a local bar last night. An older hokie fan (probably mid 70s) a couple of tables over, had been having a few, and was making funny comments about the game all night. Near the end of the game he says really loudly "I'd live to be a hundred if it weren't for this damn football team!" Cracked me up, heart attack Hokies, got to love them. Never thought I'd survive the 2004 season myself seemed like every game Randall would pull some miracle out to win it in the end. Hopefully we can pull two more W's for coach and send him out on a high note!

This is a good story. Sometimes the best stuff comes from random places.
I was at FedEx back in like 2000/2001 for a Redskins/Saints game and the Saints broke a long run, scoring a touchdown. The whole section was quiet and some guy a few rows in front of me said, "Where's the sniper when you need him". Whole section busted out laughing.
That is pretty funny. Nowadays quips like that might get somebody arrested and a one way ticket to spending the night in a small enclosed area with a 6-1 350 lb roommate named Buck.
Haha. Both of those are good/funny stories.
I've been through more close games with this team than I care to remember, but I just Keep coming back for more. I'm surprised I haven't developed a nervous tic by now.
Current age is 31, but I'd say if you measured my life in "Hokie Years" I'm probably pushing my mid 80's.
Last year, I went down to UNC with a few Hokie friends. We ended up on top of a parking garage and there were so many Hokies there we just started saying "welcome to Blacksburg" when new cars/people would get up there. However, the real gold came later. We were all just hanging out and this random old Hokie shows up, doesn't introduce himself or say a word, other than to start this joke: "Did you guys know that 5% of UVA fans have hemorrhoids? .... Yeah, the other 95% are perfect @ssholes!"
Before we had a chance to crack up, he was off to the next tailgate, presumably to tell the same joke as those guys started losing it about 2 minutes later.
Hey! I was there too!
At the Alabama game in 2013 a guy next to me and my dad said after they scored the punt return touchdown "this is how we play football in the South!" My dad's response was "where do you think we're from...New York?"
Dads are the best at jokes.
