Go Hokies. Go 21. Bucees in Florence!

Thank you, Coach Corso, for everything you have brought to college football. You are one of the biggest reasons why I love this game so much. This picture is from 2005. Dad and I were at this show when Miami and Virginia Tech were both top 5 teams. How was that 20 years ago?

Hokie football is here. It is my favorite time of year. It runs deep and means so much to me. Looking forward to another season with so many of my favorite folks. Cheers to all the Hokies! And to all the Hokies who have gone before us to the upgraded seats above. LETS GO

South Carolina is dangling this game out there for the #Hokies to take it and Virginia Tech simply refuses to do so.
