Hokie Heroes: Tales From Our Brothers Serving America

As September 7thrd, 2012. On that day the Hokies faced another Big Ten elite team, the University of Michigan. The contest also marked the Hokies’ last appearance in a BCS bowl. All Virginia Tech faithful remember the heartbreaking overtime loss to the 13th ranked Wolverines.A defeat was certainly not the manner in which we wanted to bid farewell to Hokie standouts like David Wilson, Danny Coale, and Jayron Hosley.Although painful, the sting of the loss is not what I remember.What I remember was the delight of being able to watch the game live, and how enjoyable it was to have a small piece of home brought to me.
