nice to have him back, the more former players back, the better, though i wish he had been able to catch on with an nfl team...

That was one great Hokie there. For anyone who has not met him (I had the pleasure of meeting him), you won't find a better ambassador to Virginia Tech. He is one cool, grounded, smart dude.

I was shitfaced after that game and went with my friends to the team hotel to celebrate new years. Saw John Graves in the elevator and talked his ear off about how great a game he had, and he was smiling and being great. I'm sure I was being totally obnoxious too

So we were in Nola for the Sugar Bowl and we met this older hokie family, guy was prob around 50. He was telling us it was the first time he had been there since the National Championship Game. We asked him about his time, the game, etc. and he was being really weird about it.

We asked some more and he said he had like 5 hand grenades right before the game, made his way into one of the private boxes, threw up everywhere, and got taken out by the cops. All pregame. Spent thousands of $$ to get there and didn't even catch a snap!

Not as exciting as it may seem..Girlfriends parents got us tickets for my graduation gift which turned out to be in the upper deck tech section. After tailgating the whole day (read: blacking out), the woman (mid 30s) in front of me, who must have just been married to a tech guy ended up getting pissed and saying something to me for yelling to loudly, which I did not take very kindly to and must have just gotten louder.

Right before half Tyrod completed that bomb my gf jumped into my arms and kicked the lady in front of us, which got her to go to security. Like 4 cops rolled up to us in the concourse (probably just looking for any action) and told me to empty my pockets and in it was an "Atlanta Falcons Code of Conduct Warning" which I must have found and thought was hilarious - so I dug my own grave a little bit. Gf was freaking out, crying, yelling at the cops and for I got thrown in cuffs and we got escorted all the way down and out some back door by some loading docks.

Grabbed a cab right out in front of the GA Dome, told him to take us to the nearest bar where we were able to catch the 2nd half, and then snuck into some reserved table where we were able to crush bottles of champagne for NYE

What is an Atlanta Falcons Code of Conduct Warning? A citation? So essentially you found someone else's citation? I don't think I've ever heard of someone getting a written warning like that at a game. Usually it's please stop or we'll kick you out if it's any kind of warning.

The stupidity of the whole thing is why I picked it up. It was a little bit bigger than a luggage tag, neon yellow and said 'code of conduct warning' in big letters like it should be worn as a badge of honor or something. I have no idea if they took down the person's name or anything, but aside from that, there is no reason why you couldn't just throw it away. I obviously should have..

In serious cases of rowdy behavior or profane or abusive language, stadium security will first issue a warning. If the disruptive behavior continues, the person will be subject to removal or arrest. Multiple violations may result in revocation of season tickets.
