Back in the old Orange Bowl that would have resulted in a gang


beat down. I was there in 2000 for the big showdown. A sizable gang of Cuban youths were inside causing a ruckus from the row behind the Hokie section. Walking up and down the main aisle shouting taunts and cursing fans. No police in sight...none.

75% of the Hokie crowd was elderly and had family with them. It went on the entire game until it was time for them to run to the parking lots and harass from that position. I was there by myself and I should have gone searching for a cop somewhere. Instead, the entire group just sat there and tried to ignore the thugs.

BTW-those public restrooms were uber creepy...down a ramp into dark and dank smelly pits. You did your business and got out quick. I sprinted for the cab line out on the street after the game with a few youngsters chasing me. Good thing I was in shape then and could do my imitation of Cole Beck! My employer would not take well to me getting into a fight and booked by the police.
