I could tell you about the WV games between 1981 to 1984 They were tough battles where @bourbonstreet could write 30 pages of gibberish understood by many, but barely understandable to VaTechie. West Virginia won them all 1981 27-6 1982 16-6 1983 13-0 1984 14-7 In 1984, a drunk VaTechie suggested taking down the West Virginia flag off the Lane Stadium flags. I do not remember how they picked the flags to fly back then, but it could be flags of visiting teams for that year since we were independent. The flag was on a very thick rope and actually had it pad locked. Drunk VaTechie and another drunk returned to the group and told them it would take a big sharp knife to cut it down. A Franklin county girl in the group had a nice knife in her purse and I returned with my good friend and her boyfriend. We cut the padlock off which fell to the ground and it came down within seconds to the cheering crowd. If memory serves, Tech 7-0, 7-7, and West Virginia scores at the end of the game for a 14-7 win. VaTechie left drunk with the flag yelling: WVU sucks and I have your flag. I went by some middle aged WV lady and she elbowed me as hard in the stomach like the midget punched boubounstreet in the nuts at the Wild West Saloon. Her husband had a really worried look on his face wondering what I was going to do. I laughed my ass off and said I was too drunk to feel a damn thing to their amusement. All was good, and down I went with the flag. The Collegiate Times had an article on the stolen flag. They were looking for the students that cut down the flag so they could kick them out for the rest of the year minimum and they would have to pay for the repairs. VaTechie and his Franklin county moon shine drinking friend got off scot-free. It happened too quickly and my huge group was not going to turn us in. Since I graduated in March that year, the flag has hung on the wall at the Grey House known to have great parties. It was my pregame spot since I was very good friends with everyone living there from my one year in a dorm. I wish I would have kept that flag so I could have you give it back to Virginia Tech to come full circle on the story. ** Edited by VaTechie at 3/27/2026, 9:52:14 PM ** Edited by VaTechie at 3/27/2026, 9:55:11 PM ** Edited by VaTechie at 3/27/2026, 10:41:57 PM ** Edited by VaTechie at 3/27/2026, 10:43:53 PM ** Edited by VaTechie at 3/27/2026, 11:42:58 PM
