What is your favorite Thursday night memory?

Hokie CPA: I’m going all the way back to the first Thursday night.  Well, I THINK it was the first Thursday night.  I always remember it as such, whether it were or not.  Not only was ESPN in town for a national broadcast against West Virginia, we were the only game on that night.  We were the 14th ranked team in the nation, and it was my friend’s 21st birthday.  Not only that, his mom made the trip down from New York and was doing keg stands on his balcony in Foxridge before the game, but that’s another story.

Blacksburg went frickin’ NUTS for this game… and so did our Hokies!  Dwayne Thomas and Ken Oxendine combined for over 150 yards, Maurice DeShazo threw for 185 yards and two touchdowns, and the defense held the Errs to 2 yards per carry.  We stomped ’em 34-6 and at some point my friend, not wanting to be outdone by Hokiebird, asked us to pick him up and pass him up the stands.   The frat boys three rows back promptly dropped him on his head, but it was a memorable game for the rest of us!
