Cereal Posted July 10, 2009 Posted July 10, 2009 Hey Wall, I'm moving down there in a few weeks to start grad school at VT. The Bills Backers website lists a group in Roanoke, but I'm hoping there's a group there in Blacksburg? Come on, there's got to be at least a few Bills fans going to school there, right? Any advice appreciated! Thanks! Cheers and GO BILLS!! -Cereal
billsfreak Posted July 12, 2009 Posted July 12, 2009 Hokies rule! We live down in Chesapeake (stayed down here after I retired from the Navy a few years ago). My daughter just graduated from VT a month or so ago. Going to be a good year for the Hokies, hopefully for the Bills too. There are two different Bills Backers clubs down here, I used to be associated with one, I stayed with them for 6 or 7 years, but it turned into too much of a click thing, kinda like high school. If you weren't in their click, it didn't matter what or how much you contributed, you didn't have a say in anything.

Or just any idea how easy it would be to get the Bills game on at any bar or a specific bar? I just don't want to be alone Also, yeah! I'm excited about VT football! The one thing I regret not having during undergrad... huge D1 football. Thanks!

Awesome! I'll try BWW for the TB home opener... I'll be there in my blue TT#34. This has been a long offseason...

Chilly Posted August 13, 2009 Posted August 13, 2009 My company is sending me to our Blacksburg office, and my Boss made me time the trip so I could go to a VT game. I'll be at the Miami game in Blacksburg! w00t.
Bob in SC Posted August 13, 2009 Posted August 13, 2009 I have family there and get to Blacksburg about one weekend a month. I'll be looking for fellow Bills fans. A sports bar in Radford? Where?
cobruhhh Posted August 13, 2009 Posted August 13, 2009 sharky's on w main in radford. its got a dozen or so big screens, one HUGE screen, which is reserved for VT and the skins. but if you are there early and have a full table, they will show your game. im sure they will be playing the bills/pats game on that screen because of the day and time. there are a few pat/bandwagoners here. i like it better. its twice the size, half the people, and the beer is cheaper. even the wings are better. killer ribs too. if we need to and have enough people, we can start a BB bills backers here. im sure sharky's or BWW would be in to having a small crowd dedicated to drinking all of their beer. and maybe an RSVP table.
Cereal Posted August 13, 2009 Author Posted August 13, 2009 I'm game. All I know is BWW in Blacksburg is within walking distance for me. I assume the Sharky's in Radford is a lot bigger and nicer than the one in Blacksburg? Sounds like the Radford one is worth checking out.

Went to BWW in Blacksburg this evening... first BWW I've ever been to. Didn't expect much from their wings, but I was still very disappointed. Any other suggestions for where to catch the NO game in Blacksburg Sunday.... Shout at me! Cereal

Cereal I went to tech from 2000 to 04 and remained in Blacksburg until 2006ish. I'd alwas go watch at Big Als and would usually find this one faithful fan wearing a Molds jersey.... They'd have all the games on.
