You'll have to forgive me, I'm scouring the internet trying to find a picture of him and currently failing miserably, so the best I have right now is the description

Always in Maroon and Orange facepaint, typically in a square pattern I believe
Wig, usually dreadlocks
Maroon and orange hat, kind of reminded me of Cat in the Hat
Usually sat in the West stands near the field, also tailgated in the Litton Reeve's lot

When I was a kid (early/mid 2000's), we would always pass his tailgate and I would give him a high five on my way into the stadium. We called him the Hokieman. I'm 26 now and I havent seen him at a game since before I was in college it feels like. Anyone know what happened to him? Does he still come to games and I just havent seen him?

Now I'm not saying he's the cause of our team's recent struggles...but I'm also not saying we went 6-6 when he was roaming the stands....

I can imagine no more rewarding a career. And any man who may be asked in this century what he did to make his life worthwhile, I think can respond with a good deal of pride and satisfaction:
“I served in the United States Navy"

Plan for the worst and hope for the best, not the other way around.

Druckenmiller the shotgun snap, fakes short, fires it deep into the end zone it is....caught! It is caught for a touchdown by Jermaine Holmes with 47 seconds left!

I told him I’d crawl on my hands and knees to be the DL coach at Virginia Tech. Now, all of a sudden, I’m sitting in this chair and I told him I’d still crawl on my hands and knees to work here. I just want to be here.
