CHRIS COLSTON ON: WHY THE HOKIE ANNUAL?

If you’re like me, you can’t get enough about Virginia Tech football. And as an avid Hokie sports consumer, I wanted to create something I’d like to read myself.

"The Annual" hopes to provide you with a style and content you weren’t getting before. It aims to entertain you, inform you and sometimes even make you laugh.

It isn’t meant to replace the great websites that cover Tech, your local newspaper coverage or even the Virginia Tech Media Guide.It’s meant to complement all those things. Ideally it will feed your football appetite and create synergy among the Hokie football community—fans, media, coaches and players.

I conceived the Annual to feed your hunger and excitement for Tech football heading into the season. But I also wanted a product that you could use all year for quick reference--something you keep in front of the TV or stow in the car to pull out at tailgates. And the “Season In Review” section provides a colorful souvenir scrapbook of memories--and historical record--from the previous year. At season’s end, I hope you keep theAnnual on your bookshelf to commemorate each Tech football season. Then, in 2020 you can pull it out and say, “That’s what Virginia Tech football was all about in 2010.”

I hope my years of experience in the Tech athletics department and most recently covering the national sports stage makes me qualified to produce a first-class product you’ll enjoy for years to come.

If you like it, please spread the word.
