Where to watch the game in Blacksburg
So was looking for the in game thread to ask this but since it's not up yet thought I would just make a post.
I'm in town with my family and am looking for a good place to watch the game and get food. It's been a hot minute since I've been to Blacksburg.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Parking at the Military Bowl
Does anyone have a recommendation for where to park for the Military Bowl at Memorial Stadium? Parking is currently sold out, and I likely won't be able to get there till just before kickoff. Their website provides some options but I am not sure which ones would be most convenient/available by the time I will get there.
Looking forward to the game, and Let's Go Hokies.

2023 Post Season Bowl Games
Don't think I'd seen on and thought we'd want a place to discuss any games of note.
For instance, I just noticed South Florida is kicking the snot out of Syracuse 31-0 at the half in the Roofclaim.com Boca Raton Bowl (apparently that's a serious name). Anyway, gotta love seeing that, and if Syracuse got a good recruiter, they sure as hell need it.

Pry-ssr Signing Day 12.20.23
- Just 2 years into building relationships back in this state. Signed 4 of the top 15 VA players this year, this will continue to grow as time goes on
- Put the brakes on HS recruiting a couple weeks ago because of all of the returning players. This level of retention was a good problem to have. We don't have the space to take everyone that wants to be at Tech.

Sorta OT: 4* Kyle McCord transfers to 'Cuse, are they on the rise?
Despite starting all 12 of Ohio State's regular-season games this season, McCord entered the transfer portal just hours after it opened on Dec. 4 after being informed that Ohio State would reopen the quarterback competition for the 2024 season. McCord was seeking a guaranteed opportunity to be a starter, and he should get that at Syracuse, where current starter Garrett Shrader is set to exhaust his eligibility.
He'll be Syracuse's first starting quarterback under new head coach Fran Brown, who became Syracuse's coach earlier this month after two years as Georgia's defensive backs coach.

25yr 200 win 6A Manchester HS FB HC Tom Hall resigns (VT lineman)
25yr 6A Manchester High football coach Tom Hall, a former Virginia Tech lineman and one of the winningest high school football coaches in Central Virginia with just under 200 career victories, announced at season's end that he's stepping down, time for a change.
Wonder if he'd have anything to add on Pry's team?
