Notre Dame Stadium Experience
News report: https://www.wdbj7.com/2021/10/12/student-section-safety-concerns/
I've seen some pretty negative reports from Saturday's game vs. Notre Dame on the /r/VirginiaTech subreddit but didn't see anything on here about it. It seems like it was primarily a student section issue as I had no problems getting in the stadium or to my seat in Section 11. The concession lines seemed to be really long but that was it. I did see some more bottles getting thrown, but it primarily looked like they were from the students as well as a few paper airplanes (again, students).

Lane Questions
Hey all. Headed to the 'Burg for the first time in many years for the Pitt game. Just a few questions here I'm hoping Hokie Nation can help me out with:
1) How far away do I need to park for it to not be insane to find a spot? Could I find a spot without to much difficulty at, say Harrell St.? Otey St.? Farther out?
2) Kickoff at 3:30, when should I get to Lane to at least take in some of the tailgate scene? (Or did COVID kill tailgating?)
3) Hypothetically of course, how difficult would it be to get a flask in through security?
4) Any other random tips?
Gobble gobble, and thanks in advance!
Former Hokie commit killed in Chesapeake, Va
Deveon Simmons who played at Landstown with Percy Harvin and Damon McDaniel. I saw him play against my high school (Deep Creek) and the guy single handedly shut down Deep Creeks running game. I always wondered how much scarier the Hokies defense would have been with him at Linebacker in the 2005-2010 time frame. Rest in Peace!
Sorry for not posting a link, not sure about the rules for that.
Virginia Tech leads the nation in winning % forfeited
This is awkward, my apologies to Virginia Tech, there was a bug that was counting timeouts on 4th downs as lost WP. Poor work by me there. Virginia Tech was most affected because they took a timeout immediately before they made their worst 4th down decision of the season pic.twitter.com/QGfC4NpSsTโ Jared Lee (@JaredDLee) October 11, 2021
This is good, right? Not bad for a staff in Year 6 Year 1, right?

Hatin' On: Patrick Narduzzi
I know it's all gloom and doom in here with the ND loss and injury speculation but this is PAT NARDUZZI!
We are still tied for the lead in the division and this guy stands in the way of our goals. I don't care if we are starting the 18th string QB, let the hate roll!

Apologies if this has been posted. Haven't seen it yet.
Link above to a great piece about an amazing Hokie, Cornell Cranham. Credit to Laaser for extending an offer to Cornell and getting him involved with the team.
Need more of this in down years.
Traveling to Miami Game.
Anyone have experience, recommendations etc for where to stay, what to see , where to sit in the stadium. Thanks in advance.

[Hokie Sports] Feature on Tyjuan Garbutt
TyJuan Garbutt is back in a big way for the Hokies
I just try to continue to play hard and lead more by example. I'm one of the lighter guys in the room. Unless it's gameday or game situation or we're about to get ready for practice, I'm usually busting someone's chops until we hit the field because I always like for people to be themselves and to be comfortable.
It's nice to make the plays and have all that production. But, even if I didn't make any plays, I'd still be the same Ty.
