To be fair you don't seem to shy away from any questions, another reason I tell people VT has some of the best sports writers out there.

Whit said in an interview ticket sales open up soon.

we have 13 months until the game. VT implemented a process to get the tickets, and it's still in that process. Let it play out, and see how things are in a few months before thinking we'll get screwed.

There at least has to be a better process to get the tickets to VT fans.

And maybe there will be in the future. But again, let's see how it goes.

I would be fine with this if they kept it "walled off" for less time. Fine, have a premium period for those who donate and such. But that's gone on for a long time now. How many new ticket sales are happening? If it's drying up, it's time to move on, otherwise the rest of us feel shut out or less important. If you want to keep a barrier on the process, open it to the VT student and alumni community by limiting sales during the next phase to anyone with a valid vt.edu email address (since they're for life). Then, after some amount of time, just open it up. You can only do so much in terms of the desire to prevent UT fans from jumping in on our sales.

Andy, I'm just going to leave this one here for your convenience:

I get all that but VT always seems to have this process and then gets screwed in the end. If Tennesse fans are more amped to go to this game than we are then shame on us and more power to them. From what I understand, there will be over 150,000 people at this game. If we can't sell 40,000 tickets then it is going to be a home game for Tenn. anyways. There at least has to be a better process to get the tickets to VT fans.

Welcome to TKP, have a leg.

Anyone else excited about the fact that Bud, as we speak (or, well, type), is seeing his vision come together for another win against OSU? It's almost time for us to see it too.

I think her voice over commentary could have been better as well.

wait for it...wait for it..."HE'S VISITING HIS SISTER!"

philosophical question:
If NC State plays their first four games and doesn't lose any of them, will anyone care?

Basketball has to be taken into account, why UNC has a higher deal also, but VT should be able to get close to that deal.

so clearly on the field performance has nothing to do with compensation. Otherwise these clowns wouldn't be getting handed $1.5 million dollars more than us each year for sucking it up on the gridiron.
