The real offseason began immediately after the conclusion of the Maroon-White game two Saturdays ago. Sure, there was no Hokie football going on between the end of the Orange Bowl and start of spring practice, but it was a manageable break, one that's often appreciated by my body, but never welcomed by my heart. It's almost summer, and soon we'll all pass the time by doing summery things: grilling, yard work, vacationing, going to the beach, etc... If any of you are like me you'll take the beautiful weather and fun in the sun a little bit for granted because you'll still be looking ahead to the upcoming season.

My obsession with Hokies football is in part what motivated me to create this site. We talk Hokies football all year long here. I've said it since the beginning, our community is only as good as those who contribute to it. So I invite those of you who come by daily/weekly/whatever-ly to create an account if you haven't already, say hello, and join the conversation in the forums/posts so we can all pass the time to September together as quickly as possible. As always if you have any suggestions of how we can make things better around here please let me know.
