My beloved Virginia Tech made headlines this week for being in the center of a manhunt:

"[William] Morva, a Montgomery County Jail inmate who escaped while at Montgomery County Regional Hospital, is the prime suspect in the 7:15 a.m. [Monday] shooting of Deputy Eric Sutphin on the Huckleberry Trail near the Blacksburg Library. Morva was apprehended around 3:40 p.m. after a massive manhunt that led Virginia Tech to cancel classes and send thousands of employees home on the first day of the fall term." Morva also shot and killed a guard at the hospital during his escape from custody.
Read more. I never had a first day of class with that much excitement.
I guess this means Tech has used it's one day of cancellation for the year... better hope it doesn't snow too much if you live in Blacksburg!
