For 28 years, I’ve been going to
@HokiesWBB
games in Cassell.
For 27 years, I’ve been inputting the stats for
@HokiesWBB
games.
Never did I ever imagine I’d watch this team go to the Final Four … and that I’d be going with them!
#Hokies
We are strong, & brave, & innocent, & unafraid. We are better than we think¬ quite what we want to be. We are alive to the imaginations & the possibilities. We will continue to invent the future through our blood & tears & through all our sadness.
We are the Hokies.
21 years ago today, I helped to bring back in-house. For the next 19 years, I maintained the servers and built the backend that ran it all. It was the last Power 5 website to be run completely by a school. 🍻

I don’t know how I feel about this 25 years of service at Virginia Tech recognition. A quarter century of trying to keep

out of trouble.

Virginia was 0-9 tonight behind the arc. The last time a
@HokiesMBB
opponent didn't hit a trey in the game was Clemson on March 1, 2012 when they went 0-10.
#Hokies
Herbert's 208 rushing yards is the 7th best performance in
@HokiesFB
history.

I was just telling some new coworkers after lunch today about my experience with 4/16. Was woken up tonight by the VT Alert call. Listening to the scanner just like I was in my office back then. Getting flooded with emotions.
Just left Cassell and there are already three students braving the cold to be the first ones in line for
@CollegeGameDay
. Student doors open at 9:30 am, public at 9:45 am.
#Hokies
The 4 sacks
@HokiesFB
had on Brennan Armstrong were the most times he was sacked in a game all season. He was sacked 3 times (Clemson, UNC, NC State), 2 (BC), 1 (Duke, Miami, Louisville, Abilene Christian).
#Hokies
After some extensive research,
@HokiesMBB
is 6-1 when fans in Cassell have gotten free bacon from missed free throws.
#Hokies
Here's the break down for each game:
A man dedicated to his craft. Called his first Final Four game yesterday. Now using the time we’re delayed on the tarmac at RDU to prep for the

game tomorrow.

#Hokies
Now that the home season is over, I thought I’d share this.
A lot of times when I design something, I’ll hide an item in the design. This is right in front of where I sit and where
@TeamCoachBuzz
stands most of the game.
#Hokies
With the final score of 102-53, this is the largest margin of victory for
@HokiesWBB
in an ACC game. The previous was on Jan. 18, 2007 at Wake Forest when they won by 40 (74-34).
#Hokies
Classy move by
@VTechSBcoach
to take out
@_keelsss_
right before the first pitch of the 7th so she could get the standing ovation from the crowd on senior day.

Today marks my 20th anniversary of working full time

Here's a fun fact for the upcoming game against Notre Dame:
Since Lane Stadium opened on Oct 2, 1965, 69 different teams have played against the

Making some history tonight in Cassell Coliseum for
@HokiesMBB
vs. Cornell. Jenna Reneau will be the first female official to call a men’s basketball game in Cassell.
#Hokies
It’s been 151 days since I left Blacksburg and went back home. So naturally, my first stop upon returning was to
@substationii
- man I’ve missed this place!
In appreciation to the
@Yankees
for their longstanding relationship with the
#Hokies
, as well as the many gestures of compassion that they have extended to
@virginia_tech
over the years, we are proud to announce a special addition to our helmets for the
@PinstripeBowl
Gavin Cross gets the elusive single to be the first
@HokiesBaseball
player to hit for the cycle since Tim Smalling vs. Columbia on March 15, 2010 in Blacksburg. Smalling was 5-5, 3 RBI, a walk, a 2B, a 3B, a solo HR.
#Hokies
It’s been 279 days since SubStation II closed in Blacksburg. Currently driving down to Ft. Lauderdale for the
@HokiesFB
game and had to make a stop for lunch.
#Hokies
Just went to
@Wendys
for lunch and noticed they now have curbside pickup so I tried it out. When my food was ready, I was greeted by the regional and general manager for the store. I was the first person to order curbside at that location. So they gave me a free frosty & 🍪!
I’ve worked in college athletics my whole life. I’ve been a Gamecock, Eagle, Colonel, Chieftain, Crusader, Husky, Hawk, Nighthawk, Ram, and Buccaneer. What have you been??
With today's win,
@HokiesBaseball
is 7 games above .500 (14-7) in ACC play for the first time. The previous high was 6 games (16-10) on May 15, 2010 after defeating Duke in Game 2 of the series.
#Hokies
Kelsey Riggs on ACCN: "(Kyron Drones is) the first Virginia Tech player to have 100 yards rushing and 100 yards passing in a half in 20 years." Didn't mention who did it previously.
RIP Ewok 😭
You lived a long life and brought lots of joy to my mom. I hope there’s lots of squirrels ... and Stormtroopers for you to chase in heaven. 12/10 was a great dog.
16 years later and I can still remember exactly everything that happened that morning. Driving to work, calling my mom because it was snowing, seeing the police cars outside AJ. Then sitting in my office overlooking Washington Street as police cars were flying by.
#neVerforgeT
Today, we honor the lives of the 32 students and faculty members who were tragically taken from their loved ones and our community on April 16, 2007.
On the 2023 Day of Remembrance, we reflect on the tremendous promise each of them embodied for our world.

Georgia Amoore scored 23 points in the 2nd half today against Miami. She's the first
@HokiesWBB
player to have back-to-back games (29 @ UVA Sunday) with 20+ points in the 2nd half since 2004. She now has four 20+ 2nd half point games in her career, the most by a Hokie since 2004.
