Here’s what happened when she sent tweet about Duke fan grandmother to Va. Tech’s coach

Cameron Smith was enjoying a recent basketball victory by Virginia Tech, her alma mater, when she got a surprising text from her 84-year-old grandmother, who is a Duke fan.

On Jan. 31 Smith, who lives in Raleigh, watched the Hokies defeat Boston College 85-80. Afterward, she picked up her phone and read the text.

Talking to my 84-year-old, Duke fan, Granmom this morning (off our @HokiesMBB win over BC!): "Your coach plays hard like the team, I like him." cc: @TeamCoachBuzz
