Danielle Bartelstein donated $100. Awesome to see people like her getting involved!

I have no idea why my username is VT_Warthog.

Ah yes how could anyone forget that shitstorm? Seems like every football season we get a good one like that. Don't forget the dam truth one from last year! Wonder what we will get this season.

Can we update the title to reflect Omar's last name being Rogers?

or, even better, Rodgers.

one of the newspaper articles had him as Omar Savoy.

Pretty sure it's Rogers. Either that or DC's CBS and ABC affiliates along with VT Twitter and the title of the GoFundMe Page are all wrong.

The original police report said "Rodgers" but Sean's mom went by "Rogers-Savoy", so I'm gonna' go with that.

This is SPECTACULAR! I presume, according to the NCAA & FBI, that

If the NCAA doesn't like people donating to two toddlers who just lost their father, well... I've got a joke for their investigators.

We should hit this in no time. It's why we are Hokies - we take care of our family when they need it most.

Donations from players, coaches' & player's families, individuals in the Athletic Department among others. 264 people raised almost $14k in 1 day. Really impressive.

I hope this number grows to the point where these kids need a blame money manager. No amount of money can replace having your dad, but raising kids cost money.

Bump.
This was an impressive goal, but the cooler thing is that I had no doubts that the Hokie Nation would crush it.
Y'all are straight up awesome in the true sense of the word.

It is at $24,000 now. Great job!

You will see this game, this upset and this sign next on ESPN Sportscenter. Virginia Tech 31 Miami 7

His decision was made after a phone call with longtime Virginia Tech assistant coach Bud Foster. All Foster told him was, "We win. They don't."

Just wanted to give this one more bump before the link is closed. Donations will be accepted until midnight tonight. I know they've already exceeded their goal and then some, but this is the sort of the thing I don't think we can over-give to.

Not the bagman VT deserves, but the bagman VT needs right now.
