For those who do not use Twitter, or may have missed it, athletic director Whit Babcock has been active in the last week and I thought his tweets were worth sharing/discussing as they directly pertain to some of the conversations that were happening here during the hiring process.
It appears he is serious about revitalizing the fundraising efforts of the Hokie Club. There was ths tweet:
Made my @hokieclub pledge today. Proud to do it. Are you in? #Hokies— Whit Babcock (@WhitBabcock) February 19, 2014
And he also retweeted a few fans:
@ryriosvt: @WhitBabcock Just sent 1st donation in yrs to Hokie Club this a.m. Hoping for a great return on investment. Go Hokies! / Thk u!— Whit Babcock (@WhitBabcock) February 14, 2014
@WhitBabcock @hokieclub This grad student just made his 1st donation! #letsGoHokies— Daniel Booth (@4D_BO) February 20, 2014
@WhitBabcock @hokieclub All in since 2004 Golden Hokie. Let's do this.— Doug Weigold (@Hokienc86) February 20, 2014
Fundraising and improving the Hokie Club outreach, particularly to younger alumni, was a major priority for many of us and these tweets seem to indicate that Mr. Babcock is on the same page.
He also just tweeted this:
Had to sneak down & take a look. Will be rockin' in 185 days!Can't wait! See you there! #entersandman #hokies pic.twitter.com/LnTnM8Gcfk— Whit Babcock (@WhitBabcock) February 26, 2014
It's great to see him embracing Virginia Tech's football tradition, and actively working to generate excitement among the fan base. Although it's sill very early, it's certainly looking like the search committee made an excellent selection.
Go Hokies!
