Q: Favorite part about going to VT Athletic events? 

SC: The atmosphere – there is truly no place like Home! I’ve been to a few away games for different sports, but no one shows up and cheers for their team the way Hokies do. Hokie Nation is special because of the fans that consistently show up to support the teams.

🟠 Here’s more about Corduan.

🔼 Fighting Spirit. Virginia Tech football alum and starting Dallas Cowboys guard Brock Hoffman recently shed light on the Derrick James Family Foundation this month as part of the NFL’s “My Cause My Cleats” initiative.

🏈 Learn more about Hoffman’s community efforts.

🔼 Holiday Hoops. We’ve got a pair of Hokie basketball games to watch tomorrow at noon; the women close out non-conference play at home against Campbell, while the men travel to Philadelphia to tip off against Saint Joseph’s at The Palestra.

🎟 Buy tickets to women’s hoops’ Saturday home game against Campbell.

🔼 Top-10 Matchup. No. 7 Virginia Tech wrestling fell in a top-10 road dual on Thursday, 34-9, at No. 3 Oklahoma State. Top-ranked Caleb Henson won by fall at 149 pounds for the Hokies, and No. 14 Rafael Hipolito Jr. won by decision at 157 pounds.
