Hokie Nation - Live Close to What Matters Most
This Slideshow video chronicles my daughter's last four years of attending Virginia Tech football games as an undergradurate student - from the Orange Bowl trips to the annual Commonwealth Cup showdowns with our instate rival. While the current seniors may have mixed emotions about this Thursday night being their "last home game" as a student, it's really just beginning.
After graduating from Virginia Tech in 1984, my wife and I didn't purchase season tickets until 1994. We've been tailgating every fall ever since and Blacksburg has become our home away from home. We meet many new friends every season and it's been especially sweet since we've has two kids attending Tech now as students (one's a senior and one's a freshman).
It has been long been a tradition for Hokie Nation to return to Lane Stadium every fall to support their beloved Hokie football team, and spend countless Saturday afternoons and Thursday nights with friends and family. Part of being a Tech fan is attending the games of course, but it's more about being around a place that you love with people that you care for.
Oh yeah, Virginia Tech is 9-1, ranked #8 in the Bowl Championship Series poll, and they play North Carolina Thursday night. We'll be there, of course, wearing orange and maroon.
Go Hokies.
