Some of my most vivid Hokie memories are going all-in on the Hokie hype and losing my voice and spending tons of cash that I didn’t have, and the team not showing up. Not just losing a tight game at the end by a field goal, but not showing up at all and shooting ourseves in the foot with boneheaded playcalls or penalties that ruin our chances. Somehow though, I hop back on that rollercoaster and yell,”THANK YOU SIR, MAY I HAVE ANOTHER”. Because I bleed orange and maroon and always have hope, knowing if the fans keep showing up, some year, it will all come together.

Plus, we can still win out our schedule, win the ACC conference game, win the playoffs and beat Alabama and win it all.
