Their spring break is the last week of March so they will not be practicing that week.
I'm sure anybody can use them. If they're checking IDs, which I doubt will happen, I'm sure a quick "I didn't bring my ID with me to Atlanta, didn't think I'd need it" will suffice.
Ever since his announcement to stay his last season he has ultimately been under the radar. I don't know if it is purposeful or not
Don't get me wrong, I would much rather see his name on the 6 AM list, but has anyone else noticed he never refers to football on twitter like guys like Antone and others do? Or that there was no sign of him in the Harlem shake? (That I saw)
That might be a good thing though, it probably means he is trying to take things really seriously.
On another matter, I am really pleased with some of the names popping up on that list.
I look at it this way:
Morehead is from Jim Harbaugh coaching tree. So he's helping the coaches weed out the entitlement mentality that seem to have plagued the program for some time. (ahem, Marcus Davis, ahem)
If those players are grumbling about working hard, wait until scrimmages starts, because those players will get the coaches riding on them. Hello, Bud Foster and Torrian Gray!
That is something that was missing from the program last year...coaches who are not afraid of kicking butts just to light fire under their collective asses.
When I played varsity soccer in the 8th grade, my coach was a pompous asshole, and I almost quit the team in the final week cuz it didn't matter what I did, he would find something wrong, and blow it up. That fall I played, we won our 7th straight regional championship and was awarded the national championship. I wished I had kept playing for that coach but alas, my parents said no more soccer because they didn't like driving 45 minutes each days to pick me up from practices. I coached a youth soccer team one spring, applying everything I learned from that asshole, and the parents of the girls I coached were disappointed I didn't return for fall soccer.
My point I am trying to make is, it is about time we have coaches who are butt kicking and demanding for players to "reach for excellence," if you will pardon the cliche.
I live in Bristol and unfortunately do not attend Tech.
I have several friends that are students at tech.
So does this mean that they could pick me up a ticket when they purchase theirs?
For the WIN! #BEATBAMA
Much appreciated. Thank you Sir! Oh, and we love America.
Having never been an actual VT student... I'm unable to purchase tickets. (no student ID #)
sad day.

Anyone else curious why Logan Thomas isn't showing up at all on here? I don't necessarily understand the metrics on how they judge this but still.
LSU did a Harlem Shake too?
Thankfully, I don't think the Frankinator eats grass as well as Les.
Beamer's moves are far superior to Les'
Strange, they presented it different. I may have to call up a friend and get them to buy tickets. You should only need a student ID to pick the tickets up but anybody can use them right?
The only way to sit together with your friends is for one person to buy all the tickets, anyone think the other students will actually care about seating numbers?
#BEATBAMA tickets just went on sale 10 mins ago for students.
Nope, not true. I just bought student tickets using the account of a current student and didn't have to buy season tickets. And I bought eight so there wasn't a low per person limit.
This was weak. They are spread out all over the place and at least 75% are just still in pads and uniform.
It's important to note that you can only buy Bama tickets if you are buying student season tickets at this time. General public sale and student ticket sale without a season pass is still unavailable.

The last two questions pertain to the bama tickets.
Where did you see this? I went to hokiesports and only saw season ticket information.
Probably my favorite game Humes played was when he was coming back from a broken arm (BC '04?) and played with a cast on, which he proceeded to use as a club against anyone trying to tackle him.
Going off of that, Bama can start a week earlier because the weather isn't as much of a factor for them. Southern/CA schools will generally start earlier for that reason. Also, it sometimes is just personal preference of the coach. Some coaches want as short of a break as possible between the bowl game and spring ball. Others want a shorter break between spring and summer. But as Hokie_x3_Hi mentioned, each team gets a set number of practices, so there's no real advantage to starting earlier.
Every team starts at a different time. They aren't getting a head start because they are still only allowed a certain number of practices. Whether you start those practices in February or in April, you have a limit. I would imagine the way we decided to do ours is that the week after Spring Break is 6AM workouts and then the following week starts spring practice. Each school can do whatever they want as long as they are within NCAA regulations for practice time.
Why is Alabama starting springball a week earlier then Tech? Is it a conference thing or mandatory starting dates...I don't like them getting a head start
I'm thinking more for a ticket for my old man. I'm pretty sure the tickets they give you doesn't say anything special on it and the people at the gate don't care, but I don't want to be wrong either.
