This guy is talking like these tickets are already all sold out except for this allotment. I can't imagine that's the case.

# | Virginia Tech-Ohio State, Most Watched Opening Weekend Game Ever on ESPN/ABC Wow, I didn't realize that the Labor Day games could bring in so many viewers, to the point that there's no Saturday games in the top five for opening weekend.
So, should we be expecting our 2018 game at FSU to be on Labor Day?
Looking a little like the Hokies right now. Got so excited for my first comment and blew it
Good point, didn't even notice. Guess I deal with mainly Fords.
Yea that's what I'm thinking. I just want to see VT sell out their allotment.
They are selling tickets for like 40 dollars.

# | Virginia Tech-Ohio State, Most Watched Opening Weekend Game Ever on ESPN/ABC My boss (from England, a casual fan) was surprised too with VT's halftime lead. Said they looked scrappy and surprised they gave OSU such a game, which made it interesting. Also said he knew the outcome once Brewer couldn't return.
I think the "casual fan" realizes were not supposed to win (but did anyway last year.)
Online lottery entries will be available on 10/2 through 11/2.... 4 tickets per entry
This "announcement" is an enormous waste of time and resources. Just give a press release.
I find this comment paired with your name extremely ironic
Just saw this article great read.
To the above ^. Virginia Tech did their best to take Elliott away and he still went 100+ on very few carries.
As a Browns fan, I hope Duke is as good as Elliott but Zeke had 700 yards rushing against Bama, Oregon and Wisconsin. Check out those games if you don't think he's a burner or dynamic.

#sauces, but ones who would know
This game is essentially going to be the culmination of a week long festival. There will be concerts set up all week for anyone in the area, for a variety of music. Do not know the names of any bands, but its going to take a great event to an epic one.
I think that was mots biggest issue. not on that throw but one earlier that he threw ford out of bounds on an out route, ford was open FOREVERRRRR and the throw was really late Isaiah did a great job of trying to get his feet in but it was to no avail. that play really stood out to me though as mot just taking WAY to long to go through his progressions.
1896 = The last time we played each other /s
Blah blah blab Nascar blah blah
Get to the point
I figured it was last year, but I had a hard time believing that you honestly thought the numbers you wrote were from this year. No worries though.
I would argue that brewer didn't look "crisp" by any means. had he under threw ford on 2 deep passes (although one was called back for a hold) and threw behind malleck who made a heck of a catch from his back side and behind bucky on a drive that cost us points. I know losing brewer hurt but its ALL being based of what he did in the 1st half against OSU. how easily we forget what happened to brewer after OSU last year. I think motley will do just fine. IMO the 2 tds brewer through for were more play calling than anything brewer did specifically.
Metallica is playing Enter Sandman!? s/
I don't get this. Losing your starting QB is a major change. It's a natural point to look at and say, what happened before this point vs. after it?
If anything, my point was, in the blur of emotions that was the second half of the game, it felt like the sky fell along with Brewer. But the stats don't pan out that way. The big gash in the third quarter came BEFORE Brewer's injury. The two drives following the injury, the defense was dominant. The game actually turned on turnovers, not so much on Brewer's injury. So had we been able to maintain offensive momentum after Brewer went down, who knows what would have happened?
To be clear, I'm not claiming that we would have won with Brewer. That's my completely unempirical hunch, but there's no data to support or disprove it. The data does support the claim that after the offense stalled, the defense continued to hold for two series, then folded starting with the first of two consecutive turnovers.
Going forward, it's a pretty safe bet that means that without support from the offense, this defense might not be enough to carry the team. If anything, this should all be construed more as "we absolutely have to find a way to be productive with whoever replaces Brewer" than it should ever be interpreted as me saying we "should/would have beaten OSU with Brewer."
Maybe I am in a grumpy mood but I swear who ever does the promos for this event really need to contact our AV club for advice of raising the HYPE factor!!
