Five hours before kickoff, it's a sunny 82 degrees in Lynchburg. But at kickoff at 6:00, the weather forecast calls for 75% chance of thunderstorms.

By 7:00, they are calling for "heavy thunderstorms."

We have canceled our tailgate party but are still planning on going to the game with ponchos.

Yea the weather is the only reason we didn’t make the 6 hour trip. Didn’t want to have my six month old getting dumped on by rain. That and the 6 hour drive back home to be at work by 8am tmrw. Glad it’s on tv though!

Could get ugly if offense doesn't show up really quickly.

Horrible play calling that drive/horrible non call on the DPI. Also has our punter always been this bad? What the heck

This game is going to get ugly.
Defense is bad as usual and the play calling is god awful.
Buck isn't buck when you're trying to establish the run.

You have two weeks to prepare and your team comes out completely flat and uninspired. I am sorry but that is totally on the coaches. Hope they can get it turned around but there is no leadership out there. Not on the field. Not on the sidelines. Embarrassing.

Kinda look like a high school team so far. Close to embarrassing. Even our studio guys said it doesn't look like we came to play.
ODU up 42-35 with the ball and 1:45 to play in the game.

ODU just beat VA Tech. Meanwhile we can put zero pressure on their QB.
