i am completely demeaning the absolutely classless act done to make fun of our attempt to show unity with VT. i have many many friends that went to tech, dated a hokie and am no married into a hokie family (thankfully not my wife but she bleeds maroon and orange).

i have a lot of fun with the sports aspect. i trash talk and lose with grace every fall. even make fun of UVA with regards to the streak. i leave sports in its own bucket and generally try not to let i color my views.

i have very good friends that are hokies and i supported them all that terrible day and will continue to pray for the families that lost so much.

but what they did in response was inexcusable. as i said, i have good friends that went there and most of them thought it was in poor taste. but not all of them. and those that thought it was a good/funny move, i have a lot less respect for them now. still friends but at a greater distance now.
