I don't think it's too unreasonable. VT's offense should be much improved. ECU is never known for having a strong defense. And their offensive style leads to lots of possessions for both teams.

As for Furman, I suspect our starters will play 2.5 quarters at most and the coaches will spend most of the game trying to fine tune the running game. Add in the short week, and it's not a recipe for a high-scoring affair.. I think something in the high 30's is more reasonable for that game.

Unfortunately Vick will always have negative press for the rest of his life thanks to past mistakes. He has done everything asked of him and more. Next he needs to get involved in Rothlesbergers dog charity if he can.

Down in SC I see people wearing Hokie gear all the time and I wear mine almost every day, I'm lucky to get a nod and smile when I say Go Hokies most times.

Don't forget that their band (229 members plus staff) will probably take up ~250 seats or so.

Fun fact that I didn't know until now is that their band is only brass and percussion. Also, they have a smaller band than ours.

According to #sauces few season tickets were bought by zip codes in Ohio.

I'm guessing it'll be pretty similar to the Nebraska game a few years back, which looked like 10-12k to me. Between the visitor allotment, secondary market (probably mostly OSU folks buying those), and the OSU folks that bought season tickets with plans to sell off the remaining games, I think they'll be well-represented.

Right, and that's my hope. But I seriously wonder how many of those season tickets were bought up by Buckeye fans. Like everyone has been saying in the ticket exchange thread, the single game ticket price practically warrants buying season tickets.

After dealing with UNC personally about this, the grudge is very much deserved.

that school literally goes out of their way to make it overly difficult for VT fans to have a good time around town on GameDays. Their restrictions for our game are far more strict than any of their others, save maybe the NC State game.

We do have "Let's Go! Hokies!"
I hear that all the time when traveling to an away or neutral site game. Heck, I was on vacation out west last month, walking down the street in a VT shirt, when someone leaned out his car window at a stop light and shouted "LET'S GO!" at me.

Sold out season tickets, sold out mini passes, student tickets requiring ID. I think there will be less than 9,000 inside Lane.

The game is a lot closer to Columbus than I thought (i'm dumb with geography fyi.)

I assumed that it was a 9 or 10 hour drive for some reason. I guess it's only 5. A lot of my friends are driving up Monday.

We don't have to hold a grudge. We could just station them on the academic side of campus so they can see what classrooms actually look like.

While it may look cool and may be neat to see it once in a while, it can be very obnoxious as an outsider. I'd rather walk around and say "hello" than hear "Roll Tide" "Roll Tide" or "O-H" "I-O" everywhere I go.

I think OSU is going to have a much bigger fan base representation in Lane Stadium than a lot of us VT fans are acknowledging. My prediction is '09 Nebraska fan section X2 (at least). OSU is going to travel really well.

I hope we bar UNC from having an official tailgate anywhere on campus.

We basically asked them for the same before the game last year and they practically laughed us off the phone. Hope we return the favor.

I really wish VT had some sort of tradition like that. anOSU fans use it to greet each other anywhere, I yell Go Hokies at some guy wearing a VT shirt and I might get a Go Hokies back.
