Some amazing
#Hokies
news to share:
Chase O’Brien, the young man who designed the shoes
@CoachMKYoung
wore from the Carilion Children’s Hospital program, got to “Ring the Bell” on Monday.
He’s done with chemo! So proud of this tough fella. Congrats Chase!
On this day 24 years ago, a new tradition was born –
@HokiesFB
ran out to
@Metallica
and Enter Sandman for the first time.
Exit Light. Enter Night.

This dude grew up here. He went to games in Cassell as a kid. He could have taken a bigger job long ago, but was loyal to those who gave him a chance. It’s easy to see this is his dream job.
This guy is a Hokie.
Here’s a look at the
#Hokies
helmet render. Features the NY logo used on the Yankees cap (less rounded). Considered using the orange NY logo that matches the hat worn in 2008, but settled on white to match the VT.
Today in 1986: Frank Beamer is introduced as Virginia Tech’s new head coach. He would remain in that position for 29 seasons before retiring with an overall record of 280-143-4.

Honored to be asked by
@dtapp55
(
@TappDarryl
) to repaint his lunchpail this morn. The orange paint had worn off from years taking it on the road in his NFL days. This was the pail the team used when I was a student, so it’s extra special. Glad DT is back!!!

Hang it in the rafters.
Liz Kitley is now the all-time leading scorer in Virginia Tech history. She's the greatest to ever put on a

uniform.
Jersey or number. When her career concludes, let's celebrate it in Cassell for years to come.

Gonna be honest. Last year in Morgantown was a great time. All the WVU fans we ran into were awesome and welcoming.
Sure, there was the occasional ribbing, but please return the hospitality tomorrow. They are just as passionate as we are. Both schools need this rivalry.

Watched Mike Young’s press conference last night. He is so opposite from the previous coach. He addresses the media by their name, talks openly about his players and doesn’t talk about himself and worldly philosophy.
So refreshing.

The
@Twitter
world may have flaws, but there’s so much good.
@izzypost
and I never met, but we followed each other as
@virginia_tech
grads. A simple Tweet looking for friends to go to a football game in 2021 started it.
Now we’re spending the rest of our lives together.

Today in 2000: The game that never was – A torrential storm cancels

opener vs. Georgia Tech.
ESPN's Lee Corso's car was also struck by lightning.

I honestly still can't believe they actually happened, y'all.
The details. The TECH bumper. The double outlines. The orange numbers. They're all there.
It's kinda surreal to see all the photos. It really is.

In a day of gifts, this was my favorite moment of the
#Hokies
2023 season!
UVA had finally scored points and they shot off fireworks only to have Tuten's epic TD return. That call from
@BillRoth2020
and
@MikeBurnopVT
was simply epic!

Helped a buddy of mine in Christiansburg with his new mailbox. Painted the finishing touches to give it the authentic

lunchpail look.
Hopefully
@coachfostervt
approves!
