Nice seeing you again @VTChip and meeting @laphroaig for
the first time. I’ll be rooting from NoVa today, since I have band practice tonight. Still, my wife and I enjoyed two games in person. Perfect weather. Coincidentally, we were at the team hotel and saw some of the girls there. I always try to go out of my way to encourage them. They are such quality individuals. I was impressed with how they cleaned out the dugout after yesterday’s game. Not a speck of trash left behind! Not so great was the “F*** tech” bomb during the good old song after Friday’s game. The lady sitting next to us, the grandmother of the UVA second and final pitcher, warned us ahead of time that some people do that. It didn’t look like their team did it from what I saw. My wife was really turned off by it. She mentioned it to a stadium usher the next day, an elderly lady who has worked there for years. She said it has been going on awhile, and even the players do it. The latter shocks me if true, hopefully isn’t. I get that every fan base, including VT, has its knuckleheads. But if the players are participating, that seems to violate every principle of sportsmanship. The teams are close, I believe. But the person working there says folks and players do it, even when Tech isn’t playing. All that said, it seems fans of both teams sat together in peace. That’s not always a given in this day and age.

Agree that all schools have their embarrassing belligerent knuckleheads. To
their credit, VA uses the “Tech” moniker for both us and GT. Their buttons and banners that say “Beat Tech” are efficiently used for both. Although, I do believe their “F-Tech” cheer is specifically for us.

Went to a W&M game in Cville
Both bands spent half-time berating "VPI"
