“NESTLED IN THE APPALACHIAN MOUNTAINS IN SOUTHWESTERN VIRGINIA, BLACKSBURG IS A
BEAUTIFUL COLLEGE TOWN SETTING. TAILGATE PARTIES DOT VIRTUALLY EVERY OPEN SPACE
AROUND LANE STADIUM AND THERE’S A REAL SENSE OF HOSPITALITY TOWARD VISITORS
– AT LEAST UNTIL THE GAME STARTS. THE HOKIES ROARING ONTO THE FIELD TO
THE STRAINS OF METALLICA’S ‘ENTER SANDMAN’ MAKES KICKOFF SEEM ALMOST
ANTICLIMACTIC. IT IS ONE OF THE BEST SCENES IN COLLEGE FOOTBALL.”
