    About this ebook

    Legendary players share unforgettable game day stories in this insider’s history of Virginia Tech football and basketball.

    Game of My Life: Virginia Tech Hokies celebrates the extraordinary football and basketball moments that have shaped the college’s rich athletic heritage. Through interviews with some of the school’s most prestigious athletes, Hokies fans can relive the big games that defined the school’s winning tradition.

    NFL legend and former Virginia Tech placekicker Shayne Graham recounts a game against West Virginia in 1999 when the fate of the team’s unbeaten record came down to a single kick. Carroll Dale, later a fixture with the Green Bay Packers, dove to haul in a crucial two-point conversion in a 1957 game against the University of Richmond. Les Henson shot from the baseline—the other baseline—as the clock neared zero against Florida State in 1980. Chris Smith went well beyond the "double-double" standard for points and rebounds.

    Readers will find these stories and many others from Tech greats of the gridiron and hardwood, including Carlos Dixon, Mike Imoh, Andre Davis, Dell Curry, Bryan Still, Don Strock, Bryan Randall, and even coach Frank Beamer.
