DOWNLOAD EBOOK →How does a college football program reinvent itself? How does it go from a middling regional independent--a school without a bowl victory until 1986--to a national title contender in 1999? How, in the wide, wide, world of sports, does something like that happen? That is the question author Chris Colston answers, in an entertaining fashion, in his eight-volume series, GO TECH GO: THE INSIDE STORY BEHIND THE RISE OF VIRGINIA TECH FOOTBALL. Colston worked in the Virginia Tech Athletics Department from 1985-96 as editor of The Hokie Huddler, and went on to cover the MLB, NFL, and NBA as an award-winning reporter for Sports Weekly and USA TODAY. "Why should you care what Chris Colston thinks? Because outside that locker room, there might not be anybody who knows that team better," wrote the Roanoke Times in 2012. "Colston isn't just a Tech graduate; he's a Tech expert, a Tech historian. A Tech lifer." Colston offers a unique perspective on how Virginia Tech rose to national prominence, building an intense fan base along the way.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →In early October 1872, Charles Minor opened a small land-grant institution, consisting of 29 students, 3 faculty members, and a single building, in the town of Blacksburg, Virginia. Now, 130 years later, the once small agricultural college is recognized as Virginia's largest university-Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University. Out of its humble beginning of donated livestock, seeds, machinery, and books, Virginia Tech has emerged as a leading research university that is consistently ranked as one of the nation's top engineering and business schools. The university is also home to a tremendous athletic program that continually produces many of the nation's top ranked athletes. Today, Virginia Tech also serves as a major economic engine for the economy of Southwestern Virginia. The Campus History Series: Virginia Tech illustrates the university's emergence through over 200 archival photographs, including images that capture the essence of student life, featuring happenings such as the old cadet rat parades, the first ring dance, the Highty-Tighties, the Huckleberry, sports events, and even the evolution of the school's mascot, the Hokie Bird.
