Me too. I've been checking Stubhub and they're down to like $240 on there. The atmosphere for this game should be incredible.

I think they'll be around 150 on GameDay at some point. Maybe even cheaper. I'm going down with extra cash just in case though. So either way I'll be in there. Anyone know what section the visitors usually are? I'd like to be as close to that section as possible. Guy last year from VA tech told us that there's not a bad seat in the place and it's atmosphere will be great early but it's nothing like the shoe. I'm expecting it to be electric though. Really excited to see their entrance to enter sandman though.

It's been a great week for random CFB coaches getting outed as pieces of shit, with this news on Beckman followed by a couple reports of coaches at VT and UC trying to set up systems where they can fine players from their athletic stipend for any offense that comes to mind.

I'll buy first round for anybody going to the pre-game Paisley concert on Sunday night. Well unless you're Clowns Mafia...in that case F-off.

First game is 6 days away and the only chatter we have is Tiernan being a dumbass. What the fuck?



JT named a captain. Pretty much a lock that he starts now. Regarding Meyer saying both QBs could play on Monday, I'm not buyin it, nor do I want to see it.

Of course, JT being named captain might be a consolation for Cardale being named starter.

Kenny G was a captain as well. Doesn't make it a lock either way, though it's looking more likely.

Considering what they have been saying about JT's "leadership qualities" since his first day he stepped on campus, I don't think so.....but you never know.

Lot of "or" in there...not sure if Urban's playing it close to the vest, or if he just doesn't know who it'll be yet. Also REALLY interested to see Braxton back there catching punts. Hopefully he's a better decision maker than Jalin, it was always an adventure.

I'm not sure how I feel about Miller fielding punts, I'll take the wait and see approach. He can't take the big hits and he will be sure to get lit up a few times back there.

So pumped. I hope we absolutely wreck Va Tech. Paybacks a bitch.

I don't want to jinx it, but my feeling is we will smoke them.

Meyer won't fuck around. Start hard and fast.

True, but with Kenny, he was a senior who defined "great program guy". No ego, stepped up whenever called upon and performed: the definition of what a coach wants in a back-up/non-star. J.T. is a sophomore who has potential Heisman hopes if he is on the field, which to me, makes being named captain more of an indicator as to his on-field role this season.

DO NOT let Miller field punts Urbie...that's a death sentence for the kid.

*If you are not part of the Clowns Mafia and are attending Monday's game in Blacksburg, I will be tailgating in the RV Lot by the campus airport south of the stadium. Look for a group of hot young ladies attired in a nationally recognized beer logo serving my guests.

Our defense is chock full of way too much talent. I thought the D-line would be the strength but both the LB core and secondary are second to none.

If there is a weakness on the team, I'd say WR is where its at. Michael Thomas is the only player outside of Braxton(a ? at WR) that I even recognize. Our O-line and running game should be the best in the country this year and can carry the offense if needed to another championship.

Excited for Monday to say the least.

I agree. Everyone just loved Guiton so he was named Captain for his last season. I remember when it was announced, awesome move by the staff.

Dixon was pretty hyped, so he could be the one to emerge.

As far as the younger WRs, I don't know a thing about them.....Clark, Campbell and McLaurin

I want to see what Dixon and Samuel can do...they're big plays waiting to happen I feel like.
