Spring Football: Let’s Go! Submit Your Questions.
The Hokies Hoops season came to its final, drawn out conclusion with a bad loss to Baylor. Frankly, it was time. Seth and company need to regroup and ready for next season. A.D. Vassallo and Cheick Diakite are certainly seniors we owe many thanks.
Its time for the second most important sports season in Blacksburg: Spring Football. We [...]
Do You Care About the NIT? Also, Cool Virginia Tech Jerseys
I heard a broadcaster on ESPN Radio today call the NIT the “3 dirtiest words in college basketball”. I always thought it stood for the “Not In the Tournament” tournament. Even if you are a pretty hard core college basketball fan, I suspect that unless your team is playing in it, the NIT gets zero [...]

A Virginia Tech Hoops Team is Done
We have one less Hokie Hoops team to worry about this year, as the Virginia Tech Women’s Basketball team closed out their season yesterday with their third loss of the year to UVa. A pretty dismal season came to a dismal end. Unlike the men’s team, the women’s team has been out of post-season contention [...]
Virginia Tech St. Patrick’s Day Luck
St. Patrick’s Day is less than 2 weeks away. The Virginia Tech men’s basketball team needs their luck to come a little early this year. St. Paddy’s day is 2 days after selection Sunday. By St. Patrick’s day, we will all have our NCAA brackets and will be sweating over who to put in our [...]
