Virginia Tech's trip to UNC on Saturday means two things: Stephan Virgil is scrambling for extra tickets and the Hokies can probably expect something big from the junior cornerback. Virgil grew up in Rocky Mount, N.C. He's trying to accommodate requests from friends and family for as many as 16 tickets. Players get four tickets each, but he'll be begging teammates for any they aren't using. (Virginian-Pilot)
