Hokie Football
@Hokiesports posted up the latest press conference from today. Among the usual coaches we get to hear from Hezekiah Grimsley, Oscar Bradburn, and Kyle Chung. BE PATIENT the news conference doesn’t start until nearly 7 minutes into the mp3.

Hokie Baseball
Baseball really doesn’t start up until late winter, but there is a warm up period of exhibitions, sort of like soccer “friendlies” where teams get some live practice and have the opportunity to get new and bench players into the lineup before the real games start.
The High Point Panthers will be visiting on Sept 14th. It would be a great opportunity for folks who travel down on a Friday to Hokie Football games to check out the new baseball stadium (Union Park at English Field) and cheer on the new 2018/2019 Hokie Baseball Team.

There will be some on the field action, and on the court since there will be a flurry of activity on the soccer pitch and volleyball court. We’ll check in with those things tomorrow.
In the meantime, let’s reflect on the following Tweet:
