& bring back these jerseys for the game (my all-time favorite):
If you look up about half the page, I posted that Iowa @ Nebraska was a nooner (actually 11AM local time, but that's somewhat normal in B1G country), the Arkansas @ LSU game was at 2:30, and the Miami @ Pitt game was at 3:30, all on Black Friday 2013.
I think I'd be internally conflicted if I actually ate that thing.
Also, Joe is right about the Wake game. Easy trip. I love seeing Hokies taking over their stadium, and it's actually a pretty cool stadium.
Get cheap tickets on the hill. Wake fans will leave after the Hokies get a 3 pt lead, and then you can pretty much pick your seat for the last three quarters.
VT-UVA on Black Friday!

Watch ONE quarter of UVA beatdown, get THREE FREE!
I like this. I like this a good bit. I'm also particularly glad that GT is not a Thursday night game too.
Crap.
I'm all kinda conflicted internally now.
Dear Georgia Tech:
I like the UVA game being on "Black Friday". It'd be fun to see the students maybe make a "Black Effect" shirt...wait that sounded racist...a "blackout" shirt...wait that's not approp...actually yeah, blackout on Black Friday works for me.
Ditto what MDHokieFan5 said. Long time lurker, first time poster. Thanks for the update pabooth! Big fan of the wrestling program. They don't get much of the lime-light in VT athletics, but our wrestlers work their tails off to represent their school and themselves in the best possible way. Its a program VT fans can be proud of.
Welp, guess I have to hate you guys until August 30th.
Roll Tribe.
What a way for Mike London to celebrate his last game.
Wish we had more Saturday games in October - October in Blacksburg is perfect. But hey, 7 home games and a Thursday nighter are good things in my book.
Pop quiz hot shot - What if it's CANDY CORN PIE with MARSHMALLOWS on top?
Agree, I hate candy corn!!!
The Friday after Thanksgiving is the only Friday during the regular season that it's OK to play a college football game.
Playing Georgia Tech on a Saturday? Seems like it's been ages.
Two Thursday night games and a game on Friday after Thanksgiving means tons of national exposure which can never hurt.
Fair enough. I made it my road trip game in 2012. Needless to say, it was a bad decision for many reasons.
Thank god we have a bye before the first Thu game this time
I disagree. Someone else can do the research, but has there ever been an FBS regular season game played during the week that wasn't played at night and wasn't on a holiday like Labor Day? It's all about money and money comes from people watching the game either on TV or in person. There will be many people working that day so there is too much money to lose by playing it early. This isn't bowl season where they can get away with it as they cram as many games as they can in a short period without having any overlap. I fully expect it to be a bitter cold night game. Expect UVA to break out the ascots and argyle sweaters for this one folks.
Confirmed on Reid?
Last I heard it was still up in the air...is this a recent development?
If so, great news for our stable of RB's!
I'm from Pittsburgh and have friends there so that's the main reason I wanted to go but yeah a lot of Pitt fans suck
OK - the Friday after Thanksgiving is different - this day has turned into a premium gameday. I'm happy to beat the shit out of UVA on Black Friday!
