I think I remember driving past a sign for Blacksburg on my way to UVA last year, but I don't know for sure and don't care enough to look it up.

That was probably Blacksburg, South Carolina

Not bad, but F that guy for discounting the 1990 championship.

I don’t think he was so much discounting it as laughing at the state of college football. We couldn’t help who we played. I think the team deserved a shot at Colorado. They would have taken it.
 
I thought college football was more fun when it was more regional and there were actual conferences where every team played all the others.

You could even have two Champions, and argue about that

Smells like nostalgia in here all of a sudden

The guy wasn't even born in 1990. So, I didn't take it as a slight - it was an unfortunate limitation that isn't easy to explain to someone who wasn't around at the time.
 
Funniest moments for me in Blacksburg were @GTRules asking VPISU students in the concessions line if they went there because they weren’t accepted at UVA and @Rodzilla enthusiastically cheering as we were coming from behind for a win, forever preserved in the GT gif repository.
 
Almost forgot about the VPISU fans asking me and my brother if we respected their school academically. That was an awkward moment.

I’ve always felt Blacksburg was a welcoming place for an away game.

If you’re going to the game, I recommend the Lions Club parking. It’s close to the stadium and a friendly bunch of folks there the last time I went to Blacksburg.

Uhhh, pardon monsieur, zis is le club de Lyon? Club Lyonaise? Merci!
 
The 08 game still irks me. I know, let it go.

The 2006 revenge game is my favorite in Blacksburg. CJ and our defense ate all day!

Clemson’s running down the hill is OK, but touching the rock borders on obsessive compulsive disorder.

Best summary of Clemson’s pregame ritual:

Everything about Clemson is clown shoes.

Last time I was up there, 2010, I couldn't help but laugh at their 30 minute Pledge of Allegiance, America the Beautiful, Say a Prayer, National Anthem, Moment of Silence, etc pre-game routine, honor the softball team, checkers team, etc.

I'm patriotic and all and am not one of those 'ewww religion is bad' types, but the presentation of this just screamed unsophisticated, redneck "MOAR IS BETTR!!!" Perhaps this is fitting for Clemson. Their pre-game routine is the Shoney's buffet of college football.
