The Virginia Tech spring game was supposed to be the beginning of a new chapter for a struggling football program, a scrimmage that could offer a reset after a 3-9 season that saw coach Brent Pry ousted after the school started 0-3 last fall. Now under the stewardship of new coach James Franklin, the Hokies would be entering a wait, hold on. Aw shit.

There's a skydiver stuck on the video board. https://twitter.com/yakubbsmonster/status/2045578828467020048?s=20 Saturday's game at Lane Stadium in Blacksburg opened with the all-too-familiar pairing of college football and military-coded Americana, as skydivers descended over the stadium with American flags clipped to their gear. Video clips from social media show one of the skydivers clearing the video board. The slow simmer of annoyance over pregame festivities halting the actual start of a game turned into anxiety as another skydiver, seemingly caught in erratic winds over the field, drifted closer and closer to peril before colliding with the Jumbotron, left dangling by their chute as the words This Is Home blazed across the screen.
