For those that haven’t heard, we could be getting a lot of rainfall from Tropical Storm Hanna for Saturday’s game against the Furman University Paladins. There’s a chance we’ll get some thunderstorms, too. That being said, I am going to Dick’s Sporting Goods today to pick up some rain gear because if Hanna hits as predicted, we’re going to get completely soaked on Saturday - and when I say “we” I mean everyone who is brave enough to come out in the weather.

But, if you remember Hurricane Isabelle five years ago, more than 65,000 Virginia Tech fans defied wind gusts over 50 mph and torrential downpours to see the Hokies beat Texas A&M 35-19 on national TV.

I’d like to say I would expect the same turnout for this Saturday’s game against Furman, but I’m not sure that will happen because, well, it’s Furman, not Texas A&M. Either way, I plan on having a great time with whomever decides to brave the weather. Look for me on the field … in the yellow rain slicker.
