I’d root for a well played game and for everyone to come through healthy!

I didn’t realize there were t’s as well, I’ll have to check the site out. Have fun and enjoy the game, I was checking out your school’s site and it sounds like the have nice ceremonies planed. Enjoy the game for what it is a gift to the students of VT.

Just for anyone who might be interested, there certainly is a lot of hype around here about the Yankees coming up. Not necessarily even a lot of hype from the university (though the school certainly is promoting the game), but more so of a general buzz in the atmosphere. I think the students/community realize how special it is that such a successful team would be willing to do more than, as nice as it is, just wear a particular hat in their game or write a check. I’m sure the absolute last thing any of those Yankees want to do is leave sunny Tampa and treck up here to the middle of nowhere to play a 2 hour game against a college team in potentially crappy weather. As a devoted Yankees fan, the last thing I want to see is one of their players get hurt; I’d somehow feel guilty. But just the presence is appreciated by most of the people here. There are, of course, some students who won tickets in the lottery system and are just using the Yankees to profit some cash for the ticket (a reported average of $200). Just don’t let those people taint your opinions of our school or your perceptions of the attitudes of the general student population.

Though I was not fortunate enough to win a ticket in the lottery system, I did happen to have a friend who won one and realized she couldn’t go after claiming it, so she gave it to me. Anyway, my question is… who the hell am I supposed to root for in this game? I’m a person who has to choose a team to root for when watching a game. I certainly have much more Yankee loyalty than Hokie sports loyalty, but I don’t feel like it could be like a normal game in which I root hard against the Yankee opponent… that would be low of me to do on such a special day.
