Apparently, John Denver is a hit at Lane Stadium as well.
At a recent practice, the Virginia Tech football team piped in the classic song while the Hokies were stretching. It was loud enough for everyone on the field to hear, but the players just seemed to go through their nonchalant workouts without paying much attention to it.
That was probably the whole point carried out by head coach Justin Fuente. By playing Country Roads, the Hokies would be able to move forward like they just lost the Sept. 3 game against the Mountaineers.
Even with the game being played on a neutral site, when and if the WVU football team beats Virginia Tech, the thousands of Mountaineers will be signing the song acapella.
