OT: Guys I lost my mom this morning.

I wanted it to be known that we lost a great Hokie today. Even though I never went to VT nor did any of my family members we still love the school and the football program. My mom was originally from upstate New York and came to VA in the 70s. In the mid 90s my brothers and I all started paying close attention to the rise of the VT football program and we were hooked as the years went by and the teams had better and better results and slowly but surely my mom starting getting into it as well and started cheering for the Hokies just as hard as my brothers and I sometimes even more so. In 2008 I was able to get a couple tickets to the Duke game and my GF at the time was sick so I took the next best thing and I took my mom to the game and she had a blast and Macho sealing the deal with the pick 6 I believe turned her into a hardcore fanatic like us. Almost every year since we have gone to one game a season and for the past few years my brothers have been paying less and less attention to VT but not mom oh no she like I was becoming even bigger fans especially after we went to the 2011 Logan vs Miami game and was apart of the Hokie earthquake. We were not lucky enough to go to a game in 2012 but in 2013 we went to the UNC game and had a blast as Logan had one of his best games of the season and handle UNC rather well. This past season we were really looking forward to see how far the new staff had come in rebuilding the Hokie ACC Powerhouse and like everyone else just ecstatic when we pulled the upset in the shoe. As the season progressed she never lost faith and the last game we would go to together was 2014 Boston College...... Such a melancholy way to spend the last game id watch with her in Lane Stadium to end in the Loss that it did but I take comfort knowing I immediately hugged her when the Hurricane sea parted and Logan ran it in for the game winner. I'v literally only known for about 3 hours and to be honest I'm in a state of calm shock but I'm staying strong and like I'v said before I wanted to let it known to TKP community that we lost a great Hokie this morning and please call or text your moms and tell them you love them, Thanks for helping me grieve guys.
