The Hokie does a bench press or a push-up? I'm thinking you mean push-up.

I've seen him do both, though more often a bench press. They bring the bench and weight bar out to the end zone. Darwin16 17:51, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, in recent years it's been bench presses for the most part (with amazingly heavy styrofoam weights). Bigmak 06:38, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Stick it in is a valid tradition

the stick it in chant is a valid tradition at lane stadium and shouldnt be removed. obviously edits bashing jim weaver shouldnt be allowed but stick it in was written by a member of the marching virginians and was a tradition at vt, removing it completely is ridiculous. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.171.22.15 (talk) 05:10, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

Considering it's still a hot topic of debate at VT, it shouldn't be immediately removed anyway. 198.82.113.140 08:07, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Nickname?

I've lived in Blacksburg for 22 years and have never heard "Never Never Land" used to describe Lane Stadium. If I am wrong, where does it come from? Fightingobbler7 18:00, 15 November 2007 (UTC)fightingobbler7

I've never heard it either.--Rtphokie 19:23, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

I take that back. I asked my mom (VT grad sometime in the 70s) and she remembers hearing it called that long ago, but now she doesn't remember why. I'd still like to know where it came from. Lane Stadium is one of the few great college football stadiums without a nickname. ---Fightingobbler7 —Preceding unsigned comment added by Fightingobbler7 (talk • contribs) 23:09, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

This may be a shot in the dark, but in "Enter Sandman" there is a line that says "Take my hand, We're off to Never Never Land." Maybe that's what it refers to. VTHokies (talk) 15:36, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

That is probably the best reason behind the nickname, but like fightingobbler, I have been in Blacksburg for the past 4 years and have heard no use of that nickname. Jwalte04 (talk) 16:12, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

From 1995 to the present, the only time I've ever heard "Never Never Land" used with respect to Lane Stadium is on this page. There would be more justification for listing the "Terror Dome" as a nickname for Lane Stadium, seeing as Corey Moore referred to Lane that way during the 1999 or 2000 season.
