Hokie

As a Virginia Tech alumnus, I find this book about the greatest football players in school history to be refreshing. I enjoy each story because it is very personalized not like most biographic or documentary books are.

A must read for any Hokie!!!

This book is GREAT for any Hokie. If you are a new Hokie fan this book will give you some insight regarding our solid past, and give you a feel for the long, hard and uphill battle to get here. For those of you that have been fans since before Michael, then this is a reminder of those hard working, yet not the most talented players, that laid the foundation for today's success.
