I'll panic when we start advertising the "Family Fun Pack" which includes concessions in the ticket prices like those bottom feeders in Cville... Until then i won't worry about only having 60,000 fans at a Directional 1 Double A game!
my momma didnt raise no slacker! haha you guys wanted a weekly weather report with some analysis like French then youll have it (his work is still far better than mine) expect a weekly post of this with some nifty facts and maybe a little analysis of the opponent
Journell -dipstick - don't forget the subject.
wow an entertaining weather report, eshiben may be on to something.
Re: donors not buying unsold tickets ...
My theory is the simplest explanation - simple economics. I'd wager that the number of unsold tickets has been steadily increasing and it's reach a point where prohibitively expensive for those groups of donors to scoop them up right before the game.
Very nice and entertaining. When you said weather report, I was expecting you to put up this:
And be done with it.
What you did was way better than that. Nice work.
Baxter also does yoga.
If we dont drop any passes....ANY...none...EVEN IF THIS HAPPENS
A real class act. That's what Ut Prosim is all about.
But would you respect him more if he didn't send out the second tweet saying, "Gave my tickets away for this game for a bigger reason"?
Is that comparable to someone yelling, "I just donated to charity!"
Like lburghokie, I agree, the real story here is why the boosters aren't buying them all up so the streak continues. It says something major, but I don't know what, and I'm not going to speculate.
Also note, there are unsold season tickets.
No firm count on tickets available for #Hokies' opener. WCU returned 3,700 of 4,300 allotment. VT's has another 2,000 unsold season tickets.— Andy Bitter (@AndyBitterVT) September 6, 2013
With the paltry home schedule, I wouldn't be surprised if ticket sales become an issue again this year.
- No interceptions
- No dropped passed
- No awful underthrows/overthrows
- Dominate the trenches
- Goes without saying but win
Pretty sure that's Al Groh. He doesn't look look like he was ever a cop.
The ticket office often gives away tickets to basketball games over break and for foul weather. There is also the standby seating for any game too. As far as where these seats are located, they are leftover season ticket seats as well as over 3000 tickets WCU returned to us, so upper right side of East Stands.
And here's a link to the youtube video highlights for that game - Last run is sick.
I was in middle school at the time, but I have heard stories of an "Ice game" in Cassell against maryland, in which many regular ticket holders could not make it due to weather. In lieu of this, Tech gave away those seats to students, which resulted in a gigantic student section. I know that seats are being given away currently to students, does anyone know if these are regular student seats, or if they're giving out others? Because if that's the case, we may actually be pleasantly surprised at the size/volume of the crowd this saturday.
Great Job! Which UVa coach was that in the gif?
"Foe"-rensics is absolutely brilliant. I've been referencing bits and pieces of historical hyperbole about Western Carolina all week.
2014 VT Target - Shai McKenzie had 44 yards in the first half of his game. After going out at halftime limping came out and put up 190 yards and 3 td's in the 2nd half. Here's a nice story about how his mom drove up from Georgia to watch the game and made it for the 3rd quarter.

There was WAY more to this post than I expected there would be. Nice job!
This game will be a success if the receivers stop playing like George Michael
Logically, a streak doesn't mean squat... It's a pride thing. Let's say, team X, i.e. Ole Miss, had a sellout streak- would a hokie fan care? not me. A streak is a GOOD thing for the fans!, and it will be a bad thing if it is broken... I am kinda surprised by the lack of urgency there seems to be to keep it going!!!!
Very nice!
Very nice! Looking forward to seeing this every week - also, does the top picture work for anyone else? I can't see that one.
only reason i'm going (aside from the ability to drink numerous rails and be awesome) is because I got great seats dirt cheap
