Again this season, Tech will play Virginia on Black Friday. It's the fourth time the Hokies and Hoos have clashed on Friday. The Hokies play 66.67% of the regular season in the Commonwealth and have a Monday, Thursday, and Friday game. TechSideline was launched on March 12, 1996 by 1987 Tech graduate Will Stewart as a small, personal web page. In 1997, the site evolved into HokieCentral.com, and in August of 1999, joined the SportsWar network of college sports web sites. In November of 2000, the site changed names to TechSideline.com, or TSL.
The game between Virginia Tech and East Carolina, originally scheduled for September 15, 2018, was canceled in anticipation of Hurricane Florence. Seeking bowl eligibility, Tech scheduled Marshall, who also had a game canceled due to Hurricane Florence, which was contingent upon the Hokies defeating rival Virginia, which they did. Maybe it won't rain this time because it's a different weekend? There always seems to be a some rain that weekend. You could celebrate the move with the Harry Potter Bar Crawl this weekend. We could....win it back....if there's ever a trophy for this rivalry, it's a T...if we could just stop calling it the Tecmo bowl, that's too nice of a name, GIT fans are assholes, fuck em.

The bye week falls in the middle of the season. Four of the five final games are in Lane Stadium. Rankings from AP PollThe 2018 Virginia Tech Hokies football team represents Virginia Tech during the 2018 NCAA Division I FBS football season. Virginia Tech finished the season with a losing record, the first season since the 1991 and 1992 football seasons when Virginia Tech experienced two such seasons back to back.
There they lost to Oklahoma State 30–21. Although UNC was atrocious last year and don't seem to be on the quick path to greatness anytime soon I don't like that they have a bye before us while we play ND. That one feels like a possible trap/hangover game. Since I'm moving to Raleigh this weekend, there's not a chance in hell I'm missing either of these games. This was actually one of the biggest selling points my wife made when convincing me to move to NC.

Absolutely love this schedule, ranked games peppered THROUGHOUT the schedule. The thing that stands out most to me is that there's not a single 2-3 game stretch on the schedule that really scares me. FSU, ND, GT and Miami will all be tough, but they're all sandwiched by teams that won 7 games or less in 2017. Someone will be playing spoiler come November 17th and I sincerely hope it's us. ESPN introduced its Thursday night football package in 1991, and the Hokies are tops in appearances with 32 games under their belt. Virginia Tech is undefeated on Thursday nights (6-0) against the Yellow Jackets.

All games played on Saturdays unless otherwise noted.
We beat an "awful" Pitt team on a goal line stand last season, so yeah, I'm with you. Duke might as well be open the week before they play us. Worst thing I see is the quick turn around after @FSU to play W&M.
The Thursday night game, is not Tech's best home matchup increasing the possibility for more nighttime games in Lane. Traditional power Florida State under new head coach Willie Taggart does not benefit from a warm-up game before its matchup against Tech. Miami travels to Blacksburg in a cold weather month.
Prior to that, the last time the Hokies did not participate in an ESPN Thursday night contest was 2001. Some school's results have been altered by retroactive NCAA penalties. As a matter of policy, Sports Reference only reports the results of games as played on the field. See our list of forfeits and vacated games for more details. There are Homecoming events all week long for students, alumni, and friends.
Hope mother nature plays nice unlike after the Miami game this year. I have a feeling there is going to be a lot of orange and maroon in SB Ballard that day. This site utilizes responsive web design, which renders the site properly on all platforms .

Love the bye week before the thursday night game against GT. We didn't have a home thursday night game in 2013 either. Gives me a chance to enjoy all the other rivalries on Saturday. This is a favorable schedule for sure. The jersey represents hard work, toughness, good sportsmanship and being a exemplary teammate. At first, the distinction was intended strictly for special teams players, but has since been expanded to include all team members.
Among the teams traveling to Blacksburg this fall is Notre Dame, which will make its first journey to Lane Stadium. Virginia Tech rallied to win at Notre Dame in the first-ever meeting in 2016. Also returning next season is a Thursday night game, as Georgia Tech visits on October 25. Tech did not host a Thursday night tilt in Lane Stadium during the 2015 or 2017 football seasons.
Maybe if you would commit and get yourself to some games we wouldnt have such a problem with paper airplanes and empty seats. Hell, this year they drew out the process of having a losing season all the way to their bowl blowout with Navy. So it will be a night game, because other actual rivalries will overshadow us on Saturday. Virginia Tech and the "Techmo Bowl" return to Thursday night football in 2018.
