Before this gets intense, I want to give a little background on my experience with Virginia Tech, and my own personal story. I graduated with the Class of 2013 from Virginia Tech's College of Architecture and Urban Studies. I attended every home game I could while at Virginia Tech four of my five years- one year I was studying at the Washington Alexandria Architecture Center and couldn't make it down for the games. I'm the son of a Virginia Tech grad that used to pantomime Old Hokie with me when I was a baby. And until I was 14, I absolutely hated football.
