I don't think you should challenge our integrity on this. What do we possibly have to gain from spreading falsehoods about a fan base? I'm just giving an honest report. I commend fans when they're good (always enjoyed Ole Miss and South Carolina fans, in general... really with one exception Georgia has been good as well), and I say when they're bad. I am very familiar with the Va Tech fan base, as my grandparents and cousins all live in Salem, VA. I go to the Virginia/Va Tech game every year since I am there for Thanksgiving. I've been to a number of other games there as well. I went to games at Va Tech before I ever set foot in Neyland Stadium. I go to TOTS if I am ever in VA on Wednesday. I've been to "parties" there (though y'all need to stop calling things parties that have a ratio of 9 guys for every girl there). I'm not making my statements up. Va Tech has a bad/redneck/classless fan base, though I'm sure you're an exception. That said, I still have not made it to the Swamp, and maybe they are worse there than Va Tech... but of the places I've been, Tech fans are the worst. And I know I am not alone in this sentiment.
PARTIES!?!?!?!? No no no no no....stay away from parties in Blacksburg. Far far away. I haven't been to one since 1st semester freshmen year. I'd say you really should make your opinion about our fanbase from a game other than that one. Try making an opinion about GT fans from their UGA game, or Auburn fans from the Alabama game. Its a really bad frame of reference.

We play one Thursdays for two reasons. One, ESPN pays us an insane amount of money to do it. Two, Beamer likes having two semi bye weeks rather than one big one.
About grammar? Sorry, I type fast, and don't really check it. Its not easy to keep up with 3 threads and finish up my independent study write up at the same time, especially when the report actually does have to be well written.
Never been to Arizona or Arizona State, I take it.....
Tech fans can be summed up pretty easily (this coming from a guy from Roanoke who dates a girl that goes to Tech and has been to a few Tech games):
1. Very, very arrogant. All I hear when I make fun of their lack of national titles is that "we will get one before Tennessee even gets close".
2. They loft their "Lunch Pail Defense" up to an unbelievable level of hype. It isn't hard to put up numbers against Furman, Marshall, and the ACC in general.
3. As someone said earlier, they staunchly and ignorantly defend the ACC, even going as far as saying that it will be the best conference in football by next season. I believe this is because Tech manages to win that awful conference with an average team every other year.
4. Tennessee fans are attacked daily. I don't even say anything to Tech fans I know and all I get is a rain of insults day in and day out. I hope we beat the living hell out of them, so those fans can shove a turkey leg up their nose.
and 5. What kind of team has to come up with cheesy names for almost every phase of their football team? "Lunch Pail D", "Beamerball"? Haha.
That's all, and GO VOLS!
Pretty accurate. I don't know many Va Tech fans personally (I try to only associate with classy people), but the ones I have witnessed are worse than any Florida fans I've dealt with. I've been to a few games there, and was at the Va Tech at Virginia game this year. Never seen any other team that throws stuff and spits on people in an away stadium, just because their team got a first down. I've never seen a fan base so arrogant over accomplishing so little. I've never seen any Tennessee fans treat guests in our stadium like they treat their opponents, but I guess its because "we've been there before."
And we will win our seventh and eighth national championships before they ever get close to winning their first. They will never be relevant outside of the ACC, and if the top tier of the ACC (Miami, FSU, Clemson) ever turn it around, they won't even be relevant in that.
Hey, whoever is crying about taking some jabs at VT must not live near a bunch of their fans/alumni.
These people are as arrogant as the Vandy people and just as hateful as the FL & Bama morons.
I'm already sick of hearing about how VT is STUCK playing the Tennessee Felons - yes, that's what they're calling our VOLS!
Unfortunately I'm not nearly as creative as most of the great people on this forum, so I'll have to leave it up to you guys to fire away at the Jokies every way you can.
Don't play nice. They aren't.
The first Tech game I went to someone threw popcorn, ice and trash at me and another couple because we were rooting for LSU. My buddy who was a Tech fan warned me that it would happen. It was pretty harmless but annoying.
