I attended my first Virginia Tech football game on October 26, 2006 in which the Hokies faced a ranked Clemson. I instantly knew, before rushing the field to celebrate the upset, that I would be following my older brother to Virginia Tech. My college years were peak Beamer Ball & LPD days. All four of my collegiate years, the Hokies had 10+ win seasons, including three ACC Championships. It was fun to say the least! In 2016, I started writing weekly game watch emails for the LA Hokies Alumni chapter. This led to my self-appointment as the Alumni Spirit Captain and a decade of emails recapping happenings around Hokie football and the entirety of CFB. I am ecstatic to share my delusional Hokie optimism with even more Hokies now that I’ve joined the Sons of Saturday team. I am most looking forward to one day taking my nephew (& niece) to their first game in Blacksburg to make our family Hokie fandom multi-generational.
