On a Friday night, in an Atlantic Coast Conference game near the mountains featuring a West Coast team visiting from more than 2,500 miles away, with a shirtless band of freezing, loveable idiots cheering on from the student section and a visually-impaired crew officiating the proceedings, the Hokies prevailed 42-34 in double overtime over Cal, their players spilling onto the field to celebrate with an interim coach as fans lost their mind while jumping to a familiar and rousing 34-year-old metal song blaring over the speakers.
