First and long: As football kicks off, emotions run high at Virginia Tech

First and long: As football kicks off, emotions run high at Virginia Tech

Normally, college students are not well acquainted with the hour of 7:30am. But this is not just any 7:30am. It's Saturday, September 1, the morning of the first Virginia Tech football game of 2007. ESPN has chosen the Blacksburg campus as the site for College GameDay, the network's weekly college football preview show. So hundreds of Hokies are up unusually early, lined up at the soccer field adjacent to Lane Stadium. They stand behind a chain link fence, peering in at the set they've seen on TV, waiting for a prime spot in front of the cameras.
