So before you go crazy on the comments, I am a "pure blood" Hokie (Dad '82, Mom '85, Me '10) and was wearing VT gear when I was in middle school (by choice). I married a Hokie, like that was even an option, and we are expecting our first born in May. Many things are discussed having a kid and of course the biggest one is the name. Now my wife was set on the letter "C" and I just let her list some names. One of those names was "Cole" but I couldn't see it spelled any other way then COALE. She didn't buy it at first but it eventually sank in and speaking with family they bought into it as well!!
Well the baby shower comes up and other then just a joke that we named our first born after one of the most impressive/ humble receivers I have seen play at VT... my mother went the extra mile for a gift. The top gift in my opinion besides the numerous VT baby stuff was a autographed poster signed by none other then Danny "It was a Catch" Coale! She some how contacted him by email and he was completely fine by it but as expected humbled by our name selection and my career (Active Duty Military). A wrote very well thought out letter to us and showed excitement for me and my wife and wished us the best and sent us two autographed posters with a well written message to our family and to our future son.
As much as I am joyed to see his response... is this too much? By all means I got the name watching him play at VT in person and on TV and my wife loved a name starting with "C". I respect the man on the field but his message definitely gets some "legs" if he was o
n this site. I can't wait to show my future son "The Comeback", "It was a catch", and the ACCCG against Florida State (all games I witnessed). Anyways, I have been hesitant to put this up but I like to hear your opinions, have we gone too far?
P.S. Tyrod didn't fly with my wife... lol
