To be fair, Gillie's (I'm assuming that's where he went, can't think of any other vegetarian places) has really good food.
But the lack of BBQ in Blacksburg bothered me my whole college career. Bottom of the Stairs should be opening up soon, and I've heard rumors that Due South was looking into opening a location in Blacksburg.
117 was the absolute best place to watch live music in the 70's. Saw some awesome bands there (Dixie Dregs, Randall Bramblett, etc.). When that place got rockin', the whole upstairs balcony would start swaying.
I couldn't resist. Good news for Billdozer is that he's more popular than the gay porn star as his Twitter account is listed first in the Google search.
Have read about but not done the Tijuana Toss. Sounds fun.
Don't get too excited. You order a large pizza and when you're ready for the check, the manager comes around with a big coin and flips it in front of you. If you correctly call it, the pizza is free. Pay for your drinks, tip well and be happy!
Sycamore Deli is a must. Their old location was the epitome of run-down-shack-with-best-food-you-can-get. The new location still has the cheapest (and some of the best) sandwiches in town. Cheapest beer as well. And shows on the weekend.
Souvlaki is great as well, I'd consider them a Blacksburg staple.
And for what it's worth, DP Dough's is a chain.
FOR THE RECORD: I wrote the Hodges thing before the depth chart even came out with him at receiver. I'm kind of a big deal.
I am currently imagining something that is right on the border of spectacular and awful, involving fiber-optic turf.
If we finish 10-2 I will have an erection that lasts for a solid year. And I won't even call my doctor.
Excited to get this started.

I'm just not a fan of logos that span 30 yards of the field. Seems a little excessive to me
Dave Matthews and Tim Reynolds used to play South Main Cafe pretty frequently. Tim's band TR3 was a main stay. Occasionally you'd catch Vic Wooten in there too. This was in the early 90s if I remember my NRV music store anecdotes correctly.
I was going to say something similar to this. Mellow does what most chains do, which is get a bunch of taps then fill it with standard stuff you can get anywhere so they can claim they have X NUMBER OF TAPS! Frank's had great takeovers and some really interesting beers at all times. Same with the Underground where they have their own selection of standards that are a bit off the beaten path and some beers you really don't see anywhere else (love me some Sexual Chocolate). IMO, 12 taps is ideal if it's managed well. Good selection, beer stays fresh, lines stay clean, forces the manager to know his/her stuff instead of just one of everything.
For the easily excitable, some sites already have Devyn as 5* and he will likely get that honor on more sites in a few years.
Breakout player: Chris Cunningham
The Solar House accident was the nail in the coffin for the Blacksburg music scene. It was so good in the 90s and started to trail off after 2000 rolled around but the Solar House thing in 2003 pretty much ended good house shows and after 3 years of decline, good live shows were rare.
With all the LED technology, we could change the color every game! /s
As a Vikings fan, I'm literally so down with this.
we went 11-1, lost to Clemson twice
What are the chances that Fuente holds back tomorrow - and not just holds back - but pulls like a total potential brain fuck on Tennessee by only beating Liberty by like 10 points.
Set up perfectly - everyone will be talking about how much we blew the game, we're weak, pace was off, etc - then BOOM! Tennesse caught sleeping and blown out on a National stage.
This is clutch as hell because this weekend 4* OT Nana Asiedu is being recruited hard by VT and visiting...
He will be joined by his team mate 4* RB Devyn Ford
With a thick border around the field you need some color in the endzone. The all maroon feels like a bowl game though, so maybe more what clemson does with theirs. Maroon letters that take up the whole endzone.

# | Staff Predictions for the 2016 Virginia Tech Football Season I tell my friends 8-4 when they ask, but in my mind I really think 10-2, and in my heart we crush Clemson in the ACCCG and finish the season 15-0.
How about their alternate field look?
Sycamore is great. Back when they were in the shack it was the only food you could get to from the academic side of campus and it was incredible. I had to force a lot of fellow students to go there who thought it was too run-down, and they all became regulars. Love that they finally took over the underground and made it a sometimes-venue again too, Blacksburg needed that so badly.
