After being in Atlanta I understand why...

odds are these are part of the same lot who decided it would be a good idea to buy tickets in the middle of VT's section

I had a husband-wife combo of tech fans sitting by me and my father (38 and 59 years old, respectively). They were very obnoxious, but it was good natured. Their team was handing our butts to us and they were enjoying it as fans. After the game the husband came over and shook hands and told us to be careful heading out.

There were two vol fans sitting right next to us. Right before kickoff the guy gets up and leaves. At the end of the first quarter I go to the bathroom and there is a guy on all fours puking in the stall. When I got back to my seat I asked other folks if they knew they couple and they did. They said he drank too much and was passed out puking. He never came back.

Money well spent. Well, I think after the game, many of us were puking for different reasons.

I was in section 113. It was mostly VT fans but had no issues from them. I only noticed one who was drunk. The only closest thing I got in the form of smack talk was from him when he was making his way to his seat. He was excusing himself then got to me then said "I would say excuse me but you suck, youre from tennessee". The look of fail on his face was great when I told him I was from Virginia.

I'm having a tough time believing these stories considering all the articles and comments that get sent to our school for our sportsmanship and hospitality.

Response from Nebraska fans has Tech administration happy with Hokies Respect campaign

Letter: Tech students friendly to foes on CollegiateTimes.com

Is Va Tech the only school with fans so bad (to the extent that they have fans) that the administration had to launch a PR campaign to teach basic sportsmanship? I couldn't imagine Tennessee ever doing a "Vols Respect" campaign, because we don't need it. I've never heard of any school doing that, and it doesn't seem to be working for Va Tech. You can't really teach class, you either have it or you don't. Va Tech fans don't have it, and some PSA on the jumbotron isn't going to fix it. Once a trashy inbred hick, always a trashy inbred hick.

I'm just glad Tennessee has a much larger fanbase and outnumbered them 8 to 1. I can't imagine how awful they'd be if it were more evenly distributed.

Well I didnt see a single attractive hokie co-ed, I would have been pissed too if my school had no hotties :)

You were not the only one that noticed it. Even the Va Tech co-eds that didn't weigh more than me (and I weigh 200 lbs) were still mostly unattractive. What do they feed their women in SWVA? Considering Va Tech's campus is surrounded by cow pastures, I guess a lot of beef?

It's pretty funny how our fans are talking bad about VT since their fans are saying they've never seen a bigger group of ignorant fans than our over on TSL......their board is saying a bunch of our idiot fans kept getting up in their face and yelling 'VOLS *****.'




Classy. It goes both ways.

Yawn.....nothing wrong with being proactive on sportsmanship. Our coach could learn a thing or two about sportsmanship.

I hate a drunkard. One reason I seldom have a drink anymore is it always seemed to boil down to me babysitting a drunk or drunks, men and women alike. I ran out of patience a long time ago with people who ruin everyone elses' time because they refuse to be responsible. Total jackasses! I have seen numerous UT fans at Neyland that fall into that category and UGA fans at Neyland as well.

I'll drink to that!!! Oh...wait.... :unsure:

The perceived obnoxiousness of the other team's fans is directly proportional to the butt whipping you're receiving.

Not at all. Ole Miss fans were great. Really I've not had any real problems with most fan bases. Even Bama wasn't that bad from my experience.

The only ones I've had any issues with are Florida and Va Tech (to the extent that Va Tech has any fans). Oh, and LSU has some really awful ones, but in general I thought they were okay.

The Tech fans were bad, but I still think the Clemson fans were worse the year we played them in the Chick Fil-A Bowl. One Tech fan was singing as we were leaving "Rocky Top you'll always be last in the SEC". Pretty obnoxious.

I did not experience any of this when we beat them in the dome early on. While they were not the best fans in the world, it sure was not as bad as you describe it. I think taking a major beatdown magnifies things alot.

Give the Hokies a break...First of all "What is a Hokie"? Secondly...When your band has nothing better to offer than the "Hokie Pokie" during halftime...and lastly, most of them spend 16 hrs. a day in a coal mine and marry their cousin...I would drink heavily too and hope for a heavy punch to the forehead to end it all!

First of all...According to US News "Best Colleges 2010" Virginia Tech ranks 71st in the nation....where does UT fall? 106th, I doubt very many Hokies spend alot of time in a coal mine. As far as coal mining goes, whats wrong with it? Do you enjoy your electric heat during these cold winter months? What about the electricity you use to run your home? Well guess what none of that would be possible without coal miners. Also, the average coal miner makes $21.57 an hour that totals up to be approx. $45,000 a year, not to shabby if you ask me.

Most fans bring it a little bit harder at bowl games/championship games. I wouldn't expect anything less. I sat in the middle of the Va. Tech section. I held my own. I think that the Va. Tech fans were cream puffs compared to LSU, Florida, and especially GA fans.
