Now that the calendar has flipped to the month of August, we will have Virginia Tech football this month. The Hokies and South Carolina will begin the season on Aug. 31 in Atlanta in what is going to be a fun season opener.
Shane Beamer will lead the Gamecocks against the Hokies and the program that his father built to become one of the top teams in the ACC and the country during his tenure in Blacksburg. What a statement this would be for Virginia Tech to pull an upset in this game to begin the season ahead of another battle with an SEC school at home six nights later against Vanderbilt.
