ACC Champs and more?
Virginia Tech won another ACC Championship on Saturday, it was awesome! It was really sweet getting revenge on Boston College, sticking it to the Heisman wannabe, Matt Ryan. We really made them look silly, and it was glorious. I thought that was going to be the extent of my rooting for the Hokies this weekend…

Orange and maroon is better than orange and purple
I certainly didn’t mean to overshadow the events of last weekend with what happened to us on Sunday. The Hokies whooped Clemson in true Beamerball fashion, and I have to say that I did not expect that at all. I foresaw our offense bogging down once again, and Clemson running all over us. Half of…

Random Thoughts
Those crisp fall nights are finally starting, and it’s only a matter of time before I can start having a crackling fire going. I used to really care about baseball, but I haven’t followed it much over the last few years. Still, this is utterly amazing. I don’t think the Hokies are very good. I…

Thoughts on the April 16th tragedy
A couple of weeks ago, I attended an event sponsored by the Tidewater Chapter of the Virginia Tech Alumni Association. There, a man by the name of Dr. James Robertson (an Alumni Distinguished Professor at Virginia Tech) gave a speech entitled “Reflections of the Civil War”. It was fantastic – I find myself enjoying these…

VT vigil
Monica and I attended the Virginia Tech vigil that occurred yesterday evening at Mt Trashmore in Virginia Beach. I’ve posted a short clip on YouTube that I’ve also embedded below. It was a great way to pay tribute to those whose lives were tragically cut short on 4/16/2007.

A ton of bricks
Yesterday was tougher than I expected it to be. I was able to watch and listen to some of the convocation online, and I thought that Governor Kaine and President Bush spoke very eloquently. What moved me the most was the stirring poem by Professor Giovanni and the impromptu “Let’s Go Hokies!” chant that followed.…

Hokie tears
I used to like seeing or hearing about Virginia Tech in the news. That usually meant our sports teams were doing well, or perhaps one of the colleges was ranked in a list that some magazine had compiled. I can remember during my time there screaming for us to get more attention because we all…

Sad Day
Our thoughts and prayers are with all the students, families, faculty and staff of Virginia Tech as they deal with this terrible tragedy. We here at brimon.net are Hokies (legitimate and by association) and we are deeply saddened by the events of today.

Now that’s more like it
The Hokies have rebounded nicely in their last two games with an easy win over Southern Miss and a complete domination of the team formerly known as #10, Clemson. Wow, what a difference playing well on both sides of the ball makes. The big difference though has been Brandon Ore. When everyone was asking him…

Meltdown
I watched one half of a football game tonight. Then after that, I don’t remember a game being played. Right now, I’m embarrassed to be a Hokie. I’m tired of the excuses, the poor play, the personal fouls, the stupid penalities, and I’m tired of games like this. I’m tired of talented players underachieving. I’m…
