...and realize those who most need to read it, likely won't see it here, but I'm saying it anyway.

If you bought basketball tickets, USE THEM. Take the same level of effort and commitment you just used to show up for your specified selection window to pick your seats and use it to make sure your seat is filled FOR THE GAMES.
If you are so fortunate as to be "In The Paint", know that hundreds of other Hokies...all donors...also wished to be there and didn't have the chance because you did. You more than earned your spot in line, but please don't exercise your right to your seat by leaving it empty. Remember the people who wanted them when you can't make it to the game and get your tickets to someone....anyone. I guarantee you somebody that is sitting much, much higher will ne there and will notice it's empty if you don't. And MOST importantly, the team and coaches will notice it's empty...and they deserve better.

Cassell can be an environment that is second to none, but you (or someone in your place) has to show up...for more than a 10 minute online selection window...and for more than just the big ACC games.
