It's the most wonderful time of the year, and for the Virginia Tech Hokies, things couldn't be any better.
There are plenty of reasons to be optimistic if you're a Virginia Tech fan these days. The Hokies are going to a bowl for the 23rd consecutive season and just hired, arguably, the hottest coach in this frenzied coaching market.
Tom Fornelli of CBS Sports gave the Hokies an A-plus for their hiring of Justin Fuente to replace the retiring Frank Beamer.
Dan Wolken of USA Today also gave Virginia Tech an A-plus for its selection of Fuente.
