For some reason, this was the first thing I though of:
I guess he's super nice to janitors?
Excellent!
They seemed pretty excited.

Welcome, Caleb!
Welcome to the Hokies, Caleb
Have to trust the coaches on this one.
When I first arrived I recall that they didn't give a hell where you went. About my Junior year they started checking student tickets for sections, which resulted in a lot of Ocean's 11 type hand backs. Today, everyone is way more sophisticated than my drunken stupor would have afforded back then.
Am I the only one that thinks this came out of nowhere? Haven't seen anything about him. Welcome aboard!

Edit: Looks like he picked up an offer at Junior Day in February according to Joe's reporting.
Dual threat QB. No rating on Rivals. Offers from Wake Forest, Us, and ODU
There must have been an accounting test.
They were probably on the same football and track team...
Yeah this is exactly what I said below, just more succinct.
So, in an effort to thwart Flight Tracker, Sam just picked up Bud and threw him to Fuente's house. The told Bud to close his eyes and not open them until he landed, so as not to ruin the surprise.
This makes me feel sad, sad and old.
Yes it is common practice if you don't have season tickets or your season tickets aren't with your friends to print off two tickets, one to get into the stadium and one to get into the section you want to sit in. I bet some people have been rejected at the gate for using the wrong ticket but I don't know anyone who's been that dumb. NEZ ushers will sometimes check both the ticket and the Hokie P to make sure the names match, but not always.
I expect some people on here will suggest that they be more strict checking tickets, but I think that would make some students not go to games, even if they're big football fans. No one wants to sit alone. Splitting student seating into 3 sections, and giving lottery tickets to SEZ upper deck makes it more likely that students are separated from their friends. The students should only be split into to 2 sections, NEZ and one other making it less likely that kids wouldn't have tickets with/near their friends. Oversell tickets to the student section, we can squeeze in, we're young. Then sell the tickets to the section that used to have students to the public. It wouldn't actually add many more seats, but the stadium would look more full.
Yes. We used to print off extras for the East, get everybody in the gate, then pass out the duplicates to avoid confusion.
It would take years to check every ticket for if a certain aisle and seat has been used in the student section before allowing entry into the section. The easier solution would be to take up more of the east with the student section and make all of the SEZ available to non-students.
Yeah cause bronco's teams have a great history of good sportsmanship.
Exhibit A- crotch punch
Exhibit B- sucker punch
I nominate this guy:
This is where I was going with my questioning. We didn't have print at home style tickets when I was a student so any mixing or seat/section hopping had to be done in stadium (just keep moving, send 1 guy up to collect tickets from folks already in the stands, or some variation on that).
As for the seating arrangement - I agree, splitting the student section across 3 major stadium components is frustrating. But hey, I'm from a time when the Cadets sat in the middle of the East stands and Hokie Bird used to crowd surf all the way to the top of the stadium. I'm not sure they could group the students the way you are asking for without a major re-seating (which seems unlikely with the new rolling re-seating system that has been in place for a couple years). Maybe if the did a major reconstruction of the East stands or NEZ.
