Hokies held an open practice session in Lane Stadium, and the local fan base and families saw just a little slice of the new model Virginia Tech Hokie Offense and Defense. Of course, being a local, yours truly couldn’t resist showing up on an absolutely stunning last day of Winter. It was mostly cloudy at the beginning of the practice at 11:00, but by 12:00 the clouds had mostly blown away and the sun was kissing the crowd and the field. Frankly, I didn’t spend much time counting the fans. We were only allowed in the West stands, and no cameras of any kind were in use.
