They will have raffles, food, TV's, and a cash bar.

Time to Rise
Ladies and gentleman of the Hokie Nation, the time has come. Our enemy is upon us, the wolf is howling at our door. We must stand together as sheepdogs and go forward into the fray together as one. One team, one town and one nation, the Hokie Nation. From the darkness a fire will rise and it's going to burn down Buckeye stadium. There are storm clouds forming above and a darkness rising on the ground. The Dark Hokies will rise up and defeat our opponent. There's a storm coming.... Better find you a basement. It's Time to Rise....

Thoughts on Saturday
I moved to Atlanta last year and didn't make it up to Blacksburg last season. It was great to be back in town and go to a game.

Coin Toss
Anyone have the percentage of times we have deferred to the second half and the offense comes out with a 3 and out? I know it's a high percentage. Why not just receive first half and let the defense get the momentum going start of the second half?

A game that was going to be challenging just got more difficult. Knowing Frank Beamer and his coaching staff , the young Hokies team will be ready to compete against a really good Ohio State team.

Updated Depth Chart
Hokie Sports updated the depth chart. Shai and Williams are listed as co-starters and as expected Carlis Parker is no longer listed. No real surprises to me. Quinton Taylor is no longer listed as a co-starter at Whip so that must of been a typo.

Miami/UVA Tickets
Bought a mini-plan for this season (thanks fall weddings) with UVA as the option. So when Miami went on sale this morning I decided to pick up four tickets for my wife and two of our friends.
Couple of things I noticed - VT has a long way to go to sell out season tickets if the mini-plans were sold out and these many seats were available, at least IMO. I got four in the lower section of 31 (about the 50). My mini plan tickets are about 30 rows higher in 33.

Looking Back on Saturday: Reviewing the Game Day Experience
This was covered in a few comments, but no feed was dedicated solely to this topic.
For those at the game, and probably for those who noticed on TV, the Game Day, and Game Experience were unlike anything before. It was obvious that Whit and his team have been working hard on fan engagement - as we've noticed from the pre-game marketing and new ideas.
A couple things that I noticed from during the game:
1) Students, for the most part, stayed for the entire game - and had a blast. NEZ was packed!
2) The fan cam was constantly on the crowd over tv timeouts.
3) The band played a similar catchy tune when the ball was inside the 20 and we were on offense (not stick it in, but something catchy)

The score is likely go be different next Saturday , but hokienation is hoping the men`s football team can upset OSU in Columbus. In the meantime let's congratulate the women`s soccer team in what could be another great season.
