Have a blast, but keep it PG

A few years ago, I was at a VT game with my wife and small kids. Seated in south end zone.

A few rows behind us was a group of VT students were being obnoxious with bad language and throwing things. My wife left early with our kids. I don't know that we'll ever be back to a game.

I somewhat empathize with the "UNC dad" video that's going around. I don't know details of that particular situation, but I know what I'd do if someone hit one of my kids with a thrown water bottle.

I had a good time and cursing doesn't bother me but people throwing bottles -- AbsolutVT03 09/07/2021 5:39PM

Do people honestly still believe masks do anything? ** -- marcbvtgm 09/07/2021 9:07PM

I know right?! Who even believes in science these days! ** -- Hokie622 09/08/2021 09:49AM

Edgy and super original! Personally I'm amazed that people still spout -- AbsolutVT03 09/07/2021 9:25PM

Why is having had, and recovered from, COVID never an acceptable option? ** -- hokie-c 09/07/2021 8:43PM

Not sure what you're talking about. If you're referring to the idea that -- AbsolutVT03 09/07/2021 8:48PM

You are getting close*** ** -- sacramento hokie 09/07/2021 10:16PM

Close to what? ** -- AbsolutVT03 09/07/2021 10:27PM

Yup. Positive ID of bottle throwing should give students -- HokieSignGuy 09/07/2021 7:24PM

I saw a guy removed from the stands for tossing a bottle. -- Scott821 09/07/2021 11:02PM

Guy must be a real douche even in real life when NOT drunk. ** -- HokieSignGuy 09/07/2021 11:38PM

I’m all for letting “extra” students in if the game is not sold out. They -- Hokie`79 09/07/2021 5:14PM

In theory, I don't disagree. The problem is Lane Stadium itself. -- UEMcGill 09/07/2021 5:47PM

One reason I buy seatbacks.. it seems like they are a universal KeepOff ** -- Scott821 09/07/2021 11:03PM

That’s when I call security to have them removed. -- RJHokie 09/07/2021 6:43PM

Police too busy, Rhino Security near us had no Balls to Stand up to them ** -- Scott821 09/07/2021 11:07PM

Correct it’s simple to unpunk the punk- legally safer than a knee break -- sacramento hokie 09/07/2021 10:19PM

Well, in this situation, you couldn't get to security. They were in the -- UEMcGill 09/07/2021 7:13PM

You ain’t lying!! 🤛 ** -- Hokie535 09/07/2021 8:19PM
