With the first game of the year being right around the corner and at a far away destination. It made me think back to VT '02. Was anyone on here there for the Fri. night before the game when LSU fans practically took over Blacksburg and they had to call in the State Police to prevent a riot??

I wasn't but I player soccer with some people who were going to Tech that year. They still talk about it and think Cajuns are crazy drunkards.

They are, of course, correct.

Oh yes. That was one of the best friday nights and tailgating days I remember. Those Virginians had no idea what was headed their way. Too bad the game didn't go as well.

As I recall, we drank the entire town dry and Abita brought an 18 wheeler full of beer up to Blacksburg and that got emptied within a few hours too.

Only thing I remember about that game is how VTech screwed up. LSU was supposed to play VTech as there first game of the year. So was VTech. But the Hokies went ahead and behind LSU's back scheduled Ark St the week before. Then in 2004 VTech was supposed to come to Baton rouge, but they backed out. They played USC instead and we got Oregon St.

Do I think VTech having a tuneup game before LSU is the reason LSU got creamed 26-8? No. But it was a cheap move by VTech.

LSU got revenge in 07 when VTech finally came to LSU and got slaughtered 48-7.

This is the only thing I remember about that game.
