Congrats to KJ! Doing great things for us at Virginia Tech.
I took a Design Thinking course last year - very interesting and progressive perspective. Glad to see that on the docket for VT.
Didn't he just leave like a month or two ago?
Yup
I didn't begin following Tech sports until 2004 I was never able to experience KJ while he was actually playing for Tech. Obviously the numbers and highlights speak for themselves, but it would have been cool to witness it while it was happening.
It was. I may have only been 13 or so and just started grasping an understanding of football, but The Untouchables were amazing. It seemed like there was nothing one or the other couldn't do. It's a damn shame neither could stay healthy in the pros.
