I was raised a Hokie fan despite growing up over 1,000 miles away from Blacksburg. My family is originally from Halifax County and while I have relatives who graduated from Tech and fostered my love of Orange and Maroon, I went to school elsewhere in order to get in-state tuition.

I took up blogging in February of 2008 because it was cheaper than therapy. It's been a cathartic experience and I appreciate all feedback I receive from the readers of one fan's opinion on the Hokies.

You can still find me in Blacksburg from time to time during football season. When I'm at a game you can find me at TOTS or tailgating in the airport lot before and after games.

a fan of

Boston Red Sox Major League Baseball Team

Virginia Tech Hokies NCAA Men's Football Division 1A Team

Virginia Tech Hokies NCAA Men's Basketball Division 1 Team

Buffalo Sabres National Hockey League Team
