I've already done what I spoke to your wife about with four bats.

Two I'm keeping for my collection and two that will be presented to players. Also have plans for two more bats that will be done the same way.

What reason did they give you for not doing ticket sales?**
Femoyer74 10/20/24 06:36 PM ET
The primary one was that all sales need to go solely by Hokie Club priority

I never received a reason, just a polite ear then a cold shoulder.**

NokieHokie 10/20/24 03:43 PM ET
I wonder if these efforts just cause the dept to dig in on the issue?**
hokietony 10/20/24 02:42 PM ET
Yeah because it came from Chip and fans not them….Whitfully ignorant **
Brewing_Hokie 10/20/24 07:05 PM ET
IMO, that is exactly what has happened. They're just being stubborn.

Thanks, Brother, but I don't want to be right if you know what I mean.**
laphroaig 10/21/24 06:54 AM ET
Wonder if Ballena or VT is responsible for software
RJHokie 10/20/24 05:04 PM ET
Well, there is blame to go around. Ballena does the red/green dot thingy.
