What It Means to Be a Hokie: Frank Beamer and Virginia's Greatest Players Hardcover - 2006

by Mark Schlabach; Foreword by Frank Beamer


From the publisher

Taking a decade-by-decade approach to the Virginia Tech football tradition, this collection brings together over 40 stories from the most outstanding voices of the program. The spirit of Hokie football is not captured by just one phrase, one season, or one particular game; instead, the student-athletes and coaches who made the magic happen over six decades blend their experiences to capture the true essence of their beloved school. Hokies fans will relish the intimate stories told by the figures they have come to cherish.
