Today, I'm going to preach, so have your money ready when the collection plate is passed.
The sermon is about believing. Faith. Taking an opportunity and turning it into something.
Just like Virginia Tech’s football team is doing.

In August, the goals for this Virginia Tech football team were pretty simple: Win 6 games, beat Virginia, play in a bowl game.
At times during the season it appeared they wouldn’t make it that far. At other times...
That wasn’t a college football game last night at Lane Stadium in Blacksburg.
It was an exorcism.

If you’ve been a sportswriter AND a sales guy in your life, you’ve told thousands of stories.
I know I have, and I’ve never written about the one I’m about to tell. But it is by far my favorite, plus the...
Coming into this season, Virginia Tech’s men’s basketball coach Mike Young said he didn’t think he’d ever had a team as deep as the one he’d coach in 2023-2024.
