"Exit light..."

Whole fam from Atlanta. Then driving up to Nova to spend time with my folks and siblings immediately after game.

Present

Might be an apt time to remind everyone: it's the Hokies for the Hungry game, so please remember a non-perishable food item to donate!

"Exit light..."

Drop offs at the gate?

Mrs. Egbert and our normal crew, attending and tailgating in lot 18.

This is going to be great for the ACC.

Myself and lady friend

Myself and about 22 other friends and family. Should be there by 7.

This guy.

I will be there and I will be screaming really, really loud.

"How you doin', Randy?"

I forgot to tell you all that I am staring directly into my crystal ball and it is telling me to expect an old fashioned Syracuse 66-0 whooping on Saturday.

Disclaimer: I do not have a Crystal Ball.

"How you doin', Randy?"

I have a crystal ball and it says the same thing. That's weird, my crystal ball looks a LOT like the bottom of a pint glass...

"Exit light..."

So you're the jerk that drank my crystal ball!

Got my tickets half an hour after the announcement before they skyrocketed!

I have no idea why my username is VT_Warthog.

Arkansas blew a 24-0 lead in the Belk Bowl.

Sadly, my great-grandmother who has always supported me and the Hokies passed away on Wednesday so the funeral will take precedence over the game. I'll DVR and check it out later. Go Hokies!

Sorry for your loss.

"How you doin', Randy?"

Thank you so much!

Hokie Nation mourns ur loss. And will celebrate her life this Saturday.

Pain is Temporary, Chicks Dig Scars
Glory is Forever, Let's Go Hokies!!

Thank you. That means a lot.

Terribly sorry to hear this. My condolences.

"Exit light..."

I'm very appreciative. Thank you.

-Corey Marshall

Sorry for your loss. Thoughts and prayers headed your way.

Thank you so much.

From my family to yours...we offer our deepest condolences....I hope she is at peace, and can join my son and all the other Hokies who have passed on to the other side in watching the game together and cheering on Frank and our boys this weekend

My wife takes the kids and leaves the house while I watch my Hokie games.........nuff said

Well said and thank you very much.

My wife n I will be there screaming loud. Frank's send off from Lane (wow...tough to write that) is gonna be epic!

Pain is Temporary, Chicks Dig Scars
Glory is Forever, Let's Go Hokies!!

I'll be there in my usual spot in 502!

"I don't know what a Hokie is, but God is one of them." L Corso

Damn, I'm sad.

Roll call for cheap bastards watching the game at home: me

Me and the wife will be in attendance!

FIRST DOWN, HOKIES!

Do we have a weather forecast yet? It's in the 70's right now in Myrtle Beach.

Wet stuff on the red stuff.

Forecast from noaa.gov says sunny with a high of 48 with little to no wind. Sounds good to me.

I've been a lurker for a while, but finally have decided to jump into what seems like an awesome community.

I'll be there!

Welcome!

"Exit light..."

You!

I mean me! Lot 8 if anyone wants to meet up.

We put the K in Kwality

Yeeeeeerp

@hokie_rd

My wife and I are making the drive from St. Louis! First game in lane since 2008!

Wiley, Brown, Russell, Drakeford, Gray, Banks, Prioleau, Charleton, Midget, Bird, McCadam, Pile, Hall, Green, Fuller, Williams, Hamilton, Rouse, Flowers, Harris, Chancellor, Carmichael, Hosley, Fuller, Exum, Jarrett

HokieFish and I will be there.
We want to get there early and might try Lions Club parking/tailgating, but I'm not sure how early we can park there. Anybody have a better idea for us peasants without a parking pass?

See this thread for parking suggestions. (http://www.thekeyplay.com/content/2015/november/19/ot-need-help-wparking...) Although it doesn't address tailgating, I'm sure you'll be able to figure something out on that front.

I'll be there, working somewhere in the west stands, come say hey! This one's for you Frank!!!

"GO BACK TO YOUR ROOM LITTLE BROTHER, THE CUP IS COMIN’ ON HOME!”

I'll be in the west stands too. I'll just say hey to everyone i see. Say hey back if you're one of those people so that I know it's you.

Shiiiiiiiiit me and the lady will be there. With bourbon. But not the bourbon that is in me right now because that will be pee by then.

Wet stuff on the red stuff.

Yes.

I'll be there. Can't wait for what is bound to be a great experience.

Im so pumped, this is gonna be my first hokie game ever up in lane. Ive had the chance to watch the 2007 ACC champ game in jacksonville and the 07-08 orange bowl loss to kansas but havent had the opportinity to go up to blacksburg yet. Me and my dad are driving up 12 hours leaving friday night at 9 and i cannont wait!!

Hope you have a blast man. Nothing like Lane Stadium anywhere else in the nation. Enjoy your first home game!

You're in for a treat! I have no doubt this atmosphere is going to be amazing.

Onward and upward

Me and 9 of my closest friends will be there... Lets go boys

Football is a lot like life, and you're going to have disappointments. The issue is how you come back from them.

My goal is to see Vick somewhere downtown and get his impression of my 'Mexico' jersey.

I'll be there as usual. Actually made every home game this year, which isn't always a guarantee with kids!

I was hoping for some secret back route. Ok well I'm sure I'll pass you at some point on the drive, we are leaving Greensboro about 6 am.

There's no secret way over the mountains, sadly. Well, there is that shortcut through the old Dwarven kingdom...

It's probably 45 minutes longer but the far righthand route on the map he linked is really scenic. Or, instead of getting off 52 to I74 to I77 and going up the mountain that way you can stay on 52 through Mt Airy (Mayberry!) and get a little mountain road driving before meeting back up with I77 in Fancy Gap.

Source: Made that drive a hundred times.

I live in Winston Salem. You want to race? Winner get's a bottle of bourbon.

Driving up from upstate SC very early Saturday morning. I can't wait to watch Frank's last game, if you see a 23 year old blonde guy crying, it's me.

This guy, section 35 right above the gate. I can't believe it's tomorrow. Let's send coach out the right way.

I scored some sweet tickets to the Buzzketball game too. This is going to be the best gameday ever.

The Orange and Maroon you see, that's fighting on to victory.

I'll be there with my dad. No way we were missing Frank's last game in Lane!

Go Hokies

Heading up to Blacksburg with a buddy from Charlotte tonight.

via GIPHY

Then sitting by myself at the game. Maybe it's because I bought a ticket last minute... or maybe it's because I need to be alone, to see Frank off in my own special way during the game.

via GIPHY

I feel you... I do. I don't know whether to be excited or sad.

So are we going to have Key Play Bourbon meet up or what? We need to celebrate!!!

I will also be there with wife, dad, friend, and friend's dad. Truck is already packed, beers on ice, I'm at work. T-minus 2.5 hours until we leave for Blacksburg!

Wife, father-in-law, and I will be there to cheer on Frank and the fighting Beamers for the day!

Me baby, meeeee.

I wish.

I'll have to settle for cable.

My parents sister and I will be there!

Heading up with the girlfriend (converted Hokie from Sweet Briar) and meeting up with the old college roommate. Leaving tomorrow at 6am to head over the mountain (Route 8).

Excited but not sure if I'm ready.

I can't make it but here's a plug to fill the Cassell later in the evening!
