Hokie Football
The team elected captains and VT Football put out the announcement. It’s a good representative spread of Seniors and Underclassmen. Congratulations to Kyle Chung, Josh Jackson, Ricky Walker, and Reggie Floyd. They already were leaders, but when your own teammates choose you it’s even better.
YOUR 2018 CAPTAINS

Coach Foster talks about how he thinks the #LPD is coming along before hitting the road.
THE #LPD LIVES HERE ❗@coachfostervt likes what he's seen at defensive tackle & knows he'll need a strong rotation.

Specific to @RickGoGetEmWalk ...

There are some new honor banners up in Lane Stadium. A little bit more with the times and the new uniform designs.
THIS IS HOME

The new banners at Lane Stadium look outstanding!
Can’t wait to see Hokie Nation next Saturday. #StartJumping ⚡️ pic.twitter.com/kgn69bX6QU
Hokie Baseball
Two new staff members have been brought on board to help out the Baseball team. See Hokie Sports for the details. The Hokies have added Brian Neal to head up the Strenth and Conditioning Program, and Kyle Staggers as Director of Sports Medicine for the program. Coach Szefc is getting a chance to fill out a more complete staff. We love that Virginia Tech is renewing its love of baseball, and is serious about bringing the program back into a more competitive posture.
Women’s Soccer
It looks like Alabama nipped the Hokie Women’s soccer team by a 1 - nil score. The only listed goal was an accidental own goal on the Hokies in something like the 15th plus minute of the 1st half. ugh. So the undefeated streak ends and Hokies WSOC is now 2-1-2. Get ‘em next time Hokies!
Around Campus
One of the most special features of the Drill Field is the War Memorial Chapel and the Pylons containing all of the names of the Hokies who paid the ultimate price while defending our nation since World War I. They are the ultimate examples of UT PROSIM.

And last but not least, we have to be reminded that it does rain, occasionally, in Blacksburg, and it looks like Laze has the need to wade.
We’ve got an encroachment penalty on Mother Nature!
