With today’s win against University of Virginia (UVA) football season comes to an end at Lane Stadium. Our team has qualified for ACC championship and will be playing some more away games. This was my first taste of American Football (though I had seen some movies) and I enjoyed it completely. Game day is one of the most exciting day for any Hokie (or I would say anyone from Blacksburg), the atmosphere is electrifying. Every game is a full house, even if is -6 degrees C, snowfall, rain – nothing stops the game [As my friends tell me, only in conditions of lightening the game will stop]. I have been to many cricket matches, but those were all international games and thus pulled so much attention, but this atmosphere is different.
Lane Stadium,VT Vs UVA
VT did not loose a single game at home turf this season (6 games) and they rarely loose here, just because of the tremendous support of fans. Here is a video that demonstrates the atmosphere of Game Day.
It was a lot of fun this year, am waiting for next season. Till then will concentrate on Basketball and other sports. Its all fun but if we do not go as a group it can suck a bit too,(specially if one does not know the rules). Thank to the Drew and Brett for arranging all this, it was fun.
Go Hokies!
