2 Friday’s ago, I took Metro home from work and was just basking in all of the wonderful red, white, and blue around me. The Wizards were making the NBA playoffs, the Caps (at the time) were on the verge of making the NHL’s Stanley Cup playoffs, and the National’s MLB Opening Day was a …

College Football Loyalties.
I’m a huuuuuuuge college football fan. Over the years, though, I’ve grown to realize how much of an American sport it is. As in, no one outside of the United States really gives a crap about college football. But, in the fall, you better not ask me too many questions or send too many text …
The first time I ever heard Enter Sandman.
I wasn’t even a Virginia Tech student yet the first time I heard Enter Sandman. I didn’t listen to rock music growing up, so I discovered this particular Metallica song around the same time that I was indoctrinated to what it meant to be a Virginia Tech Hokie.

The Sportsman of the Year.
This guy? Nope. This guy? Absolutely. Not a lot makes me cry. Not because I’m some big manly man – I don’t get into all that. I get tears in my eyes a lot. But it takes a lot to really move me to tears. Watch this video, and I have a feeling you’ll understand …
Hokie Football Year-in-Review (2012)
My coworkers are probably definitely wondering why am I laughing out loud to myself at my desk right now. Because this is one of the best columns I’ve ever read about Hokie football, looking backwards. It mirrors a lot of the same feelings I’ve had about the team this year. I try my best not …
I love Hokie Football, though.
However, when your team is not doing well – AKA, I can’t remember the last time we were .500 (3-3) this late in the season – I don’t think you need to focus on some new gimmick uniform redesign in order to energize your team. I think that he focus should be on coaching and …
