Hokester • 10/11/24 11:25 PM ET
Ah, for the days when we could "refurbish our memories". All that a year

Yes, for 2 seasons I believe. **
RJHokie • 10/11/24 09:15 PM ET
I thought I remembered him that way.**
MidloHokie • 10/11/24 10:52 PM ET

I envision a lobby like with Emily Dickinson College in Animal House where
Tuckahokie • 10/11/24 02:54 PM ET
Believe it or not, Radford College was like that back then.

Stork • 10/11/24 02:58 PM ET
How else would we have played the Beatles, Mommas and Papas, etc?**
OldRetiredHokie • 10/11/24 03:10 PM ET

Tuckahokie • 10/11/24 01:54 PM ET
Does not look like 300+ linemen were a thing back then
TOUGH TURKEY • 10/11/24 12:55 PM ET
Most of the linemen were in the 225-240 lb range.
RJHokie • 10/11/24 01:01 PM ET

BEST2VT • 10/11/24 12:34 PM ET
Alot of those cadets probably headed to Vietnam....or the region **
Hokebury • 10/11/24 12:29 PM ET
Watching that video I wondered how many were Vietnam bound
Hokie1992 • 10/11/24 06:44 PM ET
By the time I got to VT in 1966, a HS classmate had already died in 'Nam.**
PhotoHokieNC • 10/11/24 05:47 PM ET

Fired Skipper just inside when I was there. Yes, very loud. **
TomTurkey • 10/11/24 01:18 PM ET
Wasn't Skipper inside the stadium until shortly after the SEZ was opened?**
IB4TECH • 10/11/24 09:15 PM ET
Maybe. I was there in the 70's. I recall, the smoke hung up for a while. **
TomTurkey • 10/12/24 08:50 AM ET
