During college football season, the entire community of Blacksburg, Va., knows why they will always be a Hokie. On game days, the more than 66,000 fans that make Lane Stadium a madhouse will always be Hokies. The millions of Virginia Tech alumni and fans around the world will also always be Hokies.

 

Always a Hokie: Players, Coaches, and Fans Share Their Passion for Hokies Football by Mark Schlabach, Norm Wood and Ray Glier explores all of the great Virginia Tech traditions, teams, bowl games, All-Americans and coaches, making it the ultimate compilation of all that is great about Virginia Tech and Hokies football. Players and coaches recall-in their own words-idyllic Saturday afternoons at Lane Stadium, home of one of college football's powerhouse programs.  Buzz Nutter, Don Strock, Rick Razzano, Vaughn Hebron, Michael Vick, Shayne Graham, Josh Morgan, and many other Hokie greats share their favorite memories from their time in Blacksburg.  Highlights from the book include:

 

  • The most important moments in Virginia Tech football history
  • Beloved traditions and memories from Blacksburg
  • The greatest players in Hokies football history
  • Virginia Tech coaches, especially the legendary Frank Beamer
  • Memories of conference championship seasons
  • Recaps of every VT bowl game

 

Always a Hokie: Players, Coaches, and Fans Share Their Passion for Hokies Football draws together the insights from nearly 100 former players, coaches, and fans who tell their personal stories about what being a part of this legendary football program means to them. It's not just one tradition, one season or one particular game - it's the stories coming from the people who were there and made the magic happen over the decades that capture the true essence of the Hokie way.
