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 to be a fair-weather fan with the Hokies, and I feel as if I succeed.  This season was the first, out of five, that we have ever finished a season more than 3 losses (I’m pretty sure) since I’ve been at VT. I read in a Washington Post review of the game that it was our worst season in 20 years. Still, there are no other teams, college, professional, or otherwise, that I travel for or and get crazy excited about when we win, or dread entire Saturday evenings/stay in when we loose.  But hey…that’s what college sports, and more particularly college football is all about – always being there for your team.

Needless to say, I can’t wait to get back and see the basketball team (hopefully) get back on track later this month.

Go Hokies! Here’s to the 2013 season and hopefully something better than the Russell Athletic Bowl.
