January 3, 2000: Sugar Bowl: VT vs FSU (National Championship) - There. as a poor college student, the only way I could afford the trip was to take a Greyhound bus. From the Philly area. Took over 1.5 days each way but there was no way I was going to miss that game. Left the game disappointed in the outcome but so proud of our team.
November 1, 2003: Miami vs VT - There. My first season as an alum. Got in with a student ticket and my old Hokie passport. Sat in Section 5 with my buddies. Of the 152 games I've attended to date, this is still my favorite game.
December 4, 2004: VT vs Miami - There. One of my favorite away games. Got a full beer can thrown at me after the game. Fortunately the thrower's aim was about as good as Brock Berlin's.
November 5, 2005: Miami vs VT - There. Outside of the national championship game, the most disappointed I've ever felt leaving a game. Sadly, I tossed my ticket stub in disgust, and it's one of just 2 stubs I'm missing out of 152 games (the other being 2002 Rutgers). On that note, if any of you TKPers happen to have a ticket stub for this game and wouldn't mind parting with it, I'd reimburse you for your troubles...
September 8, 2007: VT vs LSU - There. Great (ridiculously humid) tailgate. Took any and all LSU challengers in flipcup, going approximately 99-1 that day. The loss was disheartening, but I didn't take it as hard as I usually do. Maybe because I didn't go into it expecting a win; maybe because the pain of 5 months prior made it hard to get too upset over the outcome of a football game.
November 26, 2011: VT vs LOLUVa - There. And loved every second of it.
I think this is a better way to decide your 4 annual rivals
Duke and Wake
.
Not even duke and wake fans want to watch that
Obviously Hokies pride themselves on being able to get up and show out for all games, but as a fan I would much rather play bigger teams than BC and Wake. We're bigger than that and there are more exciting match ups out there

# | Commitments of 2016 ATH Henri Murphy, 2017 ATH Malik Willis Prompt Justin Fuente to Jump for Joy If Murphy was originally intending to return to JUCO in 2016, instead of being part of our 2016 incoming class, how come he will only have two years of remaining eligibility once he hits the field in 2017? JUCO's are a two-year program last time I checked. If so, one year of JUCO, plus one redshirt/ineligible year, so he should have three years of eligibility left. They don't count the redshirt/ineligible year, do they?
You mean the first string QB after an injury and a targeting call.
Yeah his enthusiasm is great. Maybe the experience will help for 2016.
Like you said, he seems to have the tools.
constantly overruns plays, doesn't deliver a blow, can't shed blocks. other than that seems like a really nice kid. he also seems to have the strength so don't know what his issue is with giving up yards on contact it might just be the hesitancy everyone is talking about. Hoping the light clicks for him because we don't have any other options and he's going to be a key to our defensive unit.
ya but would like to see that when a RB is prepared for impact not when he's getting the ball pitched to him. like the difference between a WR cracking back on a lb and leveling them because they didn't see it coming and when the lb has his head on a swivel and plants that same WR.
if we don't have other freshmen surpass the freshmen we had last year, which is possible. We also did have fuller for a short time.
He'd be an awesome olympian, aside from the sports performance aspect.
Great personality, he'd be a hit with everyone.
Pieku?
I had thought he was quite the LB prospect so this is surprising.
I'm a fan of Motu though. What's your all's knock on him?
Naturally.
It's pretty much the buckle of the SEC "belt", with so many SEC alumni moving to Nashville following graduation. Not to mention the UT and Vandy fans.
I've been here 23 years, so I'm used to it. But, it's definitely gotten FAR worse in the past decade with the SEC's dominance (NC's) and VT's slide the past 5 years.
He means next year
January 3, 2000: Sugar Bowl: VT vs FSU (National Championship) - In a studio suite in the brand new Killingtion Grand Hotel at Killington, VT. They offered ridiculous internet, as internet marketing was new then. It was new got 3 days for $60 a night total not including the price per person. Through the crew team I used to get free tickets to the games, but we had to join the lottery for BCS tickets, obviously I lost.
November 1, 2003: Miami vs VT - Can't remember, might have been there but the drinks "get after ya"
December 4, 2004: VT vs Miami - watched on TV, rough
November 5, 2005: Miami vs VT - N/A
September 8, 2007: VT vs LSU - Was planning to watch on TV. Got an email from US Airways $120 round trip to New Orleans from Philadelphia the Weds prior. Got nose bleed tickets for 20 dollars through stub hub. I got a rental car from NO airport drove right to Baton Rogue(ran over an armadillo). Parked the car on some random street. Went right to the bar(it was soo hot & humid), was enjoying the fine southern women(whom seemed to be very unfaithful at the time) and watched the daily games on the TVs. It was game time. I left the bar & headed to the stadium. The place is soo large, I didn't know where to go. I happened to run into fellow hokie students including an injured hokie cheerleader. The ticket collector didnt even know where I was supposed to go. So we just walked in and towards the field. Well apparently behind the hokies bench around the 15yrd line were seats allocated for VT parents(?). We sat there with only a 3 foot fence seperating us from the field. One LA State Trooper was eyeing us down but when he came to question us all the cheerleaders just so happened to run at us to hug the injured girl. It was perfect timing to the T. If VT won the game, this might have been my best day ever. Still after the game, extremely attractive females begged me to come their party but I had to decline because NO is 45 mins from BR. Plus, I am sure I would have taken a beating from the LSU males at this party.
forgot to mention it was LSU Alumni night, so the famous LSU Almunus walked around the track ring. So, Shaq was there I could literally touch him.
Next day I woke up hungover in New Orleans, it smelled like death. I got propositioned by an 11 yr old Haitian prostitute. I walked the streets until a guy tried to rob a jewellery store and the security guard fought him. I thought it was time to go to the airport.
November 26, 2011: VT vs LOLUVa (38-0, bro) - I usually work on Saturday's. This was the case and I listened through XM Radio

Cookie, pie or cake?

A full blown well done on this- it was a great primer for the understanding how these worldwide weather patterns work.
Moving a bit north- I'm trying to figure out my homeowner's insurance deductibles. What do you see for hurricane activity in the Savannah GA/ Hilton Head area this year and next- More or less activity than normal?
Wow. I can't imagine the trash talk and bad fan behavior you must endure in the heart of Tennessee.
How about Tremaine Edmunds 6' 5" 236 linebacker?
