Hokie Hi

I am a Virginia Tech alumnus so anything about Tech football is a must read for me. Hokie Nation forever.

A great read

Chris Colston did an excellent job of compiling this collection of insider stories surrounding the Hokie football program. The nuggets are golden and Colston does a great job of setting up the vignettes and letting the players, coaches, and journalists tell the story. It's the kind of book that you can pick up and turn to a random page to enjoy a quick tale or sit down and read from start to finish. Like my book Hokie Games: Virginia Tech Football Game by Game 1945-2006, it's a must-have for any Tech football fan.

Must have for Hokie fans!!!!!

This book is a series of entertaining anecdotes and IMO is an absolute must read for all Hokie fans. I ended up finishing it in only two seatings. I am a more recent Hokie fan (I was a VT student from 95-99) so I liked the fact that the majority of the book's stories took place during the Beamer years. Don't be discouraged though, there are still plenty of stories of times prior to Beamer.The only reason I give it 4 stars instead of 5 is because of its target audience. Non-Hokies may get bored, but true Hokie fans will not be able to put this down...Go Hokies!!!!
