TKP Community Interview Series: Eric Whitehead

As you should know by now, DT Eric Whitehead committed to Virginia Tech last Saturday. Eric's agreed to be the second person up in our community interview Q&A series. Two notes: he's visiting Virginia Tech this weekend, and he recently received a scholarship offer from Ohio State.

If you have a question for Eric, leave it in the comments below. The 10-or-so questions with the most votes will be answered by Eric and published on the website next week. Better questions mean better answers. Upvote all the questions you want answered. I'll be sending these to Eric by Tuesday afternoon.

1. You say you always wanted to go to VT. That's awesome! What made you want to be a Hokie?
2. OSU offered... are you still 100% VT?
3. Who is your favorite Hokie, past or present?
4. What's the best place to eat in Indy and what should I get if I go there?
5. Can Bud Foster make a clipboard so strong even he can't break it?

How do you feel about OSU offering you after you committed to Tech? Classy or No?

In film review after the weekend's game, Coach Foster walks into the room and looks squarely at you. What do you hope he says?

"Exit light..."

I'll let you live... for now.

There's always a lighthouse. There's always a man. There's always a city.

In your eyes are the VT uniforms "cool"? Did you pay attention to school's uniforms at all when you visited/looked at those schools?

This isn't as much of a question as it is advice:
