Oh, this needs to be a foul. You think 1999? You think?
It was our first appearance on GameDay, and it was our undefeated + Vick year.
"The GameDay show first visited Blacksburg in mid-October of 1999. ESPN officials held the show on a stage inside of Lane Stadium, and nearly 20,000 people showed up – an incredible number at the time. Later that Saturday evening, Michael Vick and the Hokies destroyed Syracuse 62-0. The GameDay contingent returned in November that season and watched the Hokies roll past Miami 43-10."

Here’s a trivia- When did the first college game day air on tv?

I think VT may have been on it in 1999, but it aired before that season.
