As Summer
turns to Fall each year, my husband’s favorite thing happens… the College Football season gets under way! Now I have never been much into football,
though I did go to many a game in High School as part of the marching band and
I have joined my husband at Lane Stadium for a few college games now too, but
the smile it puts on his face to hear “Enter Sandman” start playing and see his
Hokies take the field is a priceless gift I get to see year after year.
Today
marks the beginning of the 2014-2015 football season for the Virginia Tech
Hokies. This is the 50th
season the Hokies have had the honor of playing in Lane Stadium and they will
be playing against the same team this year for the season opener that they did
for that first opening game 50 years ago.
The game starts today at 4pm EST and will be broadcast on ESPNEWS, when they
face off against William & Mary for their season opener. We are hopeful that we will see a win and
start this season off right!
For those
fans that want even more, there’s an app for that, leterally. This year Virginia Tech has partnered with
IMG and Sportslabs to create a Game Day app available FREE in the Google Play
Store and Itunes store. This new app
will feature live game audio, live conference and top 25 stats, as well as helpful
resources for the fans attending the games.
Another addition for Hokie fans this year is the premier of the Hokie
Village across from Lane stadium where fans will have free access to games, concessions,
campus displays and the Hokie Spirit Team (1230-130)! Even if you can’t make it to the game it is a
great festival for Hokie fans of all ages and open to the public.
So if you’re
not decked out in your Hokie gear already the clock is ticking ….What are you waiting for? Let’s see some Orange and Maroon!
