Virginia Tech head coach James Franklin (@coachjfranklin) on what he's learned about Hokie fans since taking over the program.
"There is a hunger and excitement; it's a football town, it's a football state, Virginia Tech is a football school."

Abigail Spanberger has time to exact political retribution on university board members, but can’t manage to get her own party to pass a budget.
Priorities…
All Hokies need to read Roc's response.
"in the 154 year history of Virginia Tech, dating to its founding in 1872, no Governor of the Commonwealth has ever removed a member of the Board of Visitors for cause."
Unprecedented... in a bad way. Never in the history of Virginia has a governor taken such a heavy hand in shaking up leadership at state university boards of visitors -- UVA, Virginia Tech, George Mason, and VMI. The contrast with Gov. Youngkin couldn't be more marked. He played by the established rules... and as a consequence allowed universities to be run by Northam holdovers until his last year.
Before DNA became a household word, a Catholic nun was helping scientists understand its hidden structure.
Her name was Sister Miriam Michael Stimson, O.P.
A Dominican sister.
A chemist.
A professor.
A pioneer in spectroscopy.
While Watson and Crick became famous for the double helix, Sister Miriam’s work helped clarify how the bases of DNA were arranged.
She developed a potassium bromide method that improved infrared spectroscopy and gave scientists a clearer view into the chemistry of life.
Most people imagine laboratories and convents as opposite worlds.
A woman religious, in a habit, studying the building blocks of life.
And the deeper she looked into creation, the more creation pointed beyond itself.
➡️ Faith did not make her afraid of science.
➡️ Faith gave her a reason to seek truth.
Sister Miriam Michael Stimson.
The Catholic nun who helped science read DNA.
Please share the beauty of our Catholic faith.🔁

Chefchaouen, Morocco is what happens when a place chooses one color and commits to it.
Blue walls, quiet streets and mountain air. A different kind of escape.

The free world is turning a blind eye to the Iranian people fighting to free themselves from Islam.
Please share; don’t let anyone ignore the first-ever nation to be de-Islamized.
This is a dire warning to the West: the price to regain freedom from Islam is the blood of countless innocent men, women, and children!
Stop the Islamization of the West!
Deport all diplomats of the Islamic Republic and stand for freedom with the people of Iran!
I keep hearing "I wish I could do what you do, but I live in the city."
This was captured from my backyard when I lived in Sacramento. I could barely see the brightest stars, but was able to do astrophotography.
Light pollution makes things harder, not impossible.
The ethereal Swan nebula, captured from my light-polluted backyard in the summer.
This nebula is close to the famous "pillars of creation" and is visible to the naked eye if you know where to look!
