I remember walking into my high school english class and seeing it on the TV that my teacher was watching. I have loved this school for as long as I can remember, so when I saw that on TV I sat down and didn't say a word. Just watched it in complete silence. The rest of my classmates were screwing around and using what was essentially a "free period" to do nothing. But not me, I couldn't believe my dream school, the school I loved was having this happen to it. But after seeing how much the community pulled together after that I knew there was no place on Earth I wanted to spend 4 years of my life at other than VT.

And I know most people have already seen his story, but what Liviu Librescu did that day in order to save his students' lives is the definition of heroic. If you don't know then Google his name, it was one of those great stories that comes out of something so terrible.

The only time I remember a downgrade schedule was I am thinking 04. We were suppose to play at LSU after hosting them at home in 03, but the game was bumped to 07 because Beamer did not want to play LSU after the USC game back to back. This was a mistake in my opinion as the 04 team would of had a better chance at that win. We were screwed with a phantom pass interference call against USC. The game in 07 was a Glennon disaster and Tyrod's red shirt was burned, but it was to late. I hope I have the years right.

There are 3 5* VA kids and we only have a legitimate shot at one of them... We are in decent position with a bunch of the 4*'s though.

What the heck does this mean?

That's not a verbal. There's no way it's his first phone call. I don't understand.

EDIT: Apparently coaches can officially call recruits they've offered.

"We will always carry 32 in our hearts and live our lives better because they weren’t able to." That's exactly why I got the 4/16 ribbon as a tattoo. Daily reminder to not take life for granted and daily inspiration to live for those lost.

I get so nervous during recruiting time...what if we don't land any of these 5 star VA kids...it would be an absolute disaster...even if we signed only one it would be just horrible...we better lock 3 of these kids in or we could see a serious problem in the coming years

I remember that they painted beta bridge in Charlottesville in remembrance, too. It was deeply appreciated. Sometimes, even wahoos can be classy.

An approximate attendance number will be taken by the staff at the gates. No tickets will be issued, but a headcount will be taken.

I've made it to the 3 minute mark... I think every play he's scored a touchdown. I haven't seen him get tackled/run out of bounds once. The guy is simply a man amongst boys.

And Seth wonders why Tech fired him. Always keep your famous alums happy. Alston Smith will probably never amount to much but Beamer offered him.

I despise whoever cut this video. It goes into slow motion any time anybody gets anywhere near him. I couldn't make it even half way through the video.
