Pregame as Virginia Tech Hokies take on ECU Pirates

[PizzaguylolXD]

Who the hell would dislike this video?

[bubbanater07]

@PizzaguylolXD communists thats who disliked this video LOL.

[bubbanater07]

i wonder what 3 bastards hit the dislike button.

[GoodSportsHayden]

Did anyone notice at the bottom after the end, the one kid had 666 rushing yards? :o

[BlazNnVA]

vt has the greatest entrance, my favorite team coming out to my favorite band

[420youknowmysteez]

This is the saddest and happiest moment of my Virginia Tech experience... sadness because of the magnitude of the loss, but also the happiest because of the incredible bond shown by HokieNation as we all gather in Lane Stadium to watch the symbolic healing through the releasing of the balloons. neVer forgeT 4/16/07 and we WILL prevail because we are Virginia Tech...

[texansfan898]

got chills and tears in my eyes at 1:55

[xkoop]

Chills

[MalkinFan25]

I attended this game while I was a graduate student at Virginia Tech. One thing that is not mentioned nearly enough are the schools that helped us through this horrific time. Not just through donation, but through signs, collages, prayer, or just a simple embrace to students who were in dire need of hope. Our prayers will always go to the victims families, we will always remembered those lost, and we thank all of the universities that are still there for us to this day.

Thank you. Go Hokies.

[kuballer19932]

[DCuStudios051]

[GHSgrad2006]

I was there.

[HokiePokie33]

why does ESPN never crank up the volume on enter sandman? and haha that flag guy with the H must have been sooo hyped up, he was easily running 30 yards in front of the O! X D

[evmaster222]

i was there!

[topay]

This WAS a great moment, a critical step in VT's healing process.

On a lighter note, I couldn't help but look at ESPN's scroll of upcoming games and see #5 Michigan vs App State...nobody would have guessed how that would turn out!

[mw2lobsallday]

[MDagra]

my mom cried at this. my sister was a senior at vt at the time of the shooting and she was able to get us tickets into the game. you were right this wasnt about who won and who lost. it was about how after a tragedy people came together as one. lets go hokies.

[hokiefan423]

[hokiefan011]

[HammerPowered]

I'm a Sooner fan, and I was so touched by this originally, and when I saw it here added this to my favorites here.  What a moment.

[NDPIRATE]

I'm a Pirate, but what a moment. I had goosebumps the size of golf balls.

[StFidjnr]

even through I am a blue devil fan that is the best moment of my life would be even better if I was there in lane stadium.

[dxdude2004]

[StFidjnr]

[StFidjnr]

Go Blue Devils! Go Hokies!

[b0ndsj0ns20]

I am an ECU fan and I was in attendance that day and I will certainly never forget it. I am not ashamed to admit I was crying during this video. I wish ECU could have pulled out the victory, but it was a day that will be remember by all who were lucky enough to be in attendance.

[mrclean8586]

I am a student, I was there, and I still teared up.

[Vadude0088]

I will remember this game for the rest of my life. It was so amazing to be there.

[LukeMiestr]

Coming from a diehard ECU fan, I will not forget the day the Hokies grew stronger in their resolve to overcome the tragedy of those 32 brothers and sisters lost. My brother is a current Hokie, and being a Pirate, watching him go through that, I will never forget the passion I saw in your faces that day. Great game. No one will ever forget. Go Pirates! Go Hokies!

[eowrestler86]

I was in that stadium, i got chills then, i get chills now! What a great day to be a HOKIE!!!

[hokiechip]

It's been 4 months and that scene still gives me goosebumps.

God Bless the 32 and God Bless Virginia Tech.

[Charmer06]

From a Terp to a Hokie.....

FEAR THE HOKIE!

[valita0000]

A game like no other, honoring those lost in a tragedy like no other.

GO HOKIES! We ARE Virginia Tech.
