So I'll start off by saying Va Tech people are the nicest away crowd I have ever been around, yes even you Nebraska fans (you all were kind of jerks when I went there). I was welcomed so many times just walking around campus so many time, following the game tons of people just saying good game, high fives, and wishing me safe travels. You can tell the fans really love their Hokies no matter what.
Lane stadium is very nice stadium, not a bad seat in that place, and the atmosphere is up there. I wont say its the loudest or most insane atmosphere I have been too (PSU and Wiscy are above it) but it's top 5 for sure. Enter Sandman is worth the hype; I took a video of it that ill have to look into uploading.
Get this feeling that were nearing the end for Beamer, was very odd all the tributes and everything they did to him on the video board. I get that he basically is Va Tech football, but it was very weird.
Going to hold off on commenting a lot on the game as im going to watch my DVR copy tonight but one thing: DAT BRAXTON SPIN. When he did that literally the entire stadium gasped.
Now for the low lights,
-speeding ticket on the way there. Fuck you SE Ohio cop and your stupid fucking lip full of snuff who taunted me by saying "youre the 5th buckeye I got this morning! I'll get you going in 7 minutes!"
-For all the people in Va Tech pumping up this as one of the biggest games in Lane Stadium history, you sure didnt show it. There were easily 1k+ seats that were empty in the south endzone and in what looked like club seats mid field on the east side.
- Va Tech has 2 bands, a "marching" band that sits in the south endzone and a cadet band that sits in the north endzone. Neither bands are a loud, nor good, at all. Theyre so quiet in fact that Va Tech amplifies the band to play through the speaker system, this is pure bush league in my opinion. Our band was easily drowning out their bands on the few rare occasions they didnt turn the bands mics on. Really disappointed with that as I always liek the tug of war feeling you get when both bands are playing back and forth.
Pic dump!
