“It’s awesome. It really is. … We hope they keep coming back because they can make a really good team a great team. Because this atmosphere - I’ve said it about Cassell - You don’t just hear people in Cassell.. You feel people in Cassell."
What a night.
Thank you to every single student who showed up and showed out tonight. We broke the all-time attendance record and witnessed history.

- It's in the town name of BLACKsburg
- Exit light, ENTER NIGHT!
I mean come on - this is a marketing treasure trove full of fun stuff you could do for the

if they did a blackout of Lane!
We had a lot of discussion about "blacking out Lane Stadium" a few days ago for Virginia Tech football, so let's try this again.
