Update: The Virginia Tech coaching staff has escaped the elevator and the second half is underway. We'll see if the delay has any affect on their play. Still no word on if this was a deliberate inside job by ODU.
How's this for some weirdness in Week 1 of the college football season. The second half of the in-state showdown between Virginia Tech and Old Dominion is being delayed because the Hokies coaching staff is stuck in an elevator. No seriously. Ask ESPN's Andrea Adelson.
ODU-VT broadcast says the game is being held right now because VT coaches are stuck in the elevator trying to get back to the field for the 2H.
