Good Morning, Tech Fam. There is no other place to be this weekend than right here in Blacksburg.

We promise y’all… you don’t want to miss it!

What else are we covering in today’s edition, Hokies?

🏈 It’s (Spring) Game Week!
🎾 Tourney Time
👏 Raising Them Right
🦃 And much, much more!

🔼 It’s (Spring) Game Week! After months of build up and anticipation, Hokie Nation, your shot of a sneak peek into a new era of Tech Football is just days away.

Kicking off at 3 pm at Lane Stadium on Saturday, the annual spring showcase will provide Hokie Nation its first opportunity to see head coach James Franklin’s squad in action as the program continues preparations for the 2026 season.

“Spring games are a great opportunity for our fans to see the progress our players have made during the offseason,” said Coach Franklin. “We’re excited to welcome Hokie Nation back to Lane Stadium.”

🔼 Tourney Time. Throw the records away, the postseason is a different animal.

The 17th-seeded Virginia Tech women’s tennis squad will take on that animal today in the opening round of the ACC Tournament against 16th-seeded Louisville at 10 a.m.

The two teams have yet to face each other this season. Should the Hokies advance, they will play ninth-seeded Stanford on Wednesday, April 15, at 3:30 p.m.

🔼 Raising Them Right. There’s only one way to raise the next generation…. as Hokies, of course!
