At the end of the press conference tonight, I mentioned to coach about our page views at TSL and asked if he wanted to say anything to HokieNation and this was his response:

“We definitely felt the following of Virginia Tech. Hopefully, they saw the brand of softball that we play. We’re not a major sport, but people watched us this weekend that might not have ever watched softball before. I think we fit the bill of Virginia Tech as well as any sport on campus. We play hard, we’re respectful. I got a lot of comments that we were a professionally acting team this weekend and that’s about the biggest compliment that I could have. So I appreciate the following that we’re gathering and I hope people keep supporting us because we definitely need it and we felt it.”

So with that quote from coach, I will mention our “Poppin It" challenge once again. Depending on how many folks rolled their challenge over to the Super Regionals and depending on the amount of several non-specific donations, we are going to seriously flirt with $7,500. I can’t wait to get back home and go through the mail. That is simply an amazing number and speaks volumes about TSL

If you haven’t jumped in yet, it’s not too late.

Checks can be made to “Virginia Tech Athletic Fund – Softball” and mailed to me at
