In a recent blog, Virginia Tech Defined, you got an overview of facts and stats related to Virginia Tech. The gist of Virginia Tech's essence is: you can get a quality education at a great price from faculty who are experts in their fields at a leading research university with a great atmosphere.
Ok, now that we have the particulars (very truthful as they are) out of the way, there's one piece to the Virginia Tech puzzle that deserves its own blog. FOOTBALL! Hokies are passionate folks in general, bring football into the mix and it's a whole new ball game (pun intended).
Tonight marks the first football game of this season: Virginia Tech vs. Boise State. Today many Hokies are flooding the FedExField in Landover, Md., to support the team. Can't make it to the game? No worries, you can keep track online at: www.hokiesports.com/football/live/.
To see the complete football schedule, visit www.hokiesports.com/football/schedule. There are 7 upcoming home games. If given the opportunity, you should try to experience a game at Lane Stadium. You really need to experience it first-hand, as it is hard to put into words.
Here's a modest effort at describing a home game: our football team enters the field to Metallica's "Enter Sandman" booming, fans, young and old, jumping up and down, and the united roaring voice of "LET'S GO....HOKIES!" Yeah that didn't do it justice. You just need to be there in person to get how cool it really is. Here's what others have said about us:
- Real Clear Sports ranked Virginia Tech as No. 1 in the Top 10 College Football Entrances.
- A poll by USA Today listed Lane Stadium as one of the top 10 great places to watch college football.
Visiting Virginia Tech is worth it no matter when you can make it to campus. However, you should consider checking us out on a game day - it's Hokie Spirit gone wild (in a good and wholesome way) I tell you!
