I have a friend who cracks me up. He can't wait for the Virginia Tech football season
to start. He lives locally, and he drives by his tailgating spot every day, like
it's a house under construction that he needs to monitor. "I'm like a kid
waiting for Christmas," he confesses. And I am reminded again that college
football is the greatest sport on earth, and Hokie football is the greatest part
of the greatest sport.
I
laugh at him. "You mean you don't get all worked up?" he asks me.
