A View from the Sidelines: Virginia Tech Hokies vs. West Virginia Mountaineers

There were pictures, just not as many “good” ones as I would have liked. The camera was fighting me, and the sidelines were crowded so lots of ruined shots popped up. It was also not a highlight reel event that’s for sure. GO HOKIES!!!

You have to wonder when there aren’t any real smiles going out.
