Product Description
Virginia Tech's Shayne Graham trots onto the field at West Virginia on November 6, 1999, with two thoughts in his mind. One is a missed field goal that would have beaten Miami a year earlier. The other is the 44-yard field goal he is about to try against the Mountaineers, a kick he must make if the Hokies are to stay unbeaten and on track for a national championship. Head down, he focuses on his mark as the ball is snapped. He steps forward, the dream of an entire team resting with his leg.Now, hear Graham's memory of that kick in his own words, for the first time. Game of My Life: Virginia Tech celebrates the extraordinary football and basketball moments that have shaped the college's rich athletic heritage. Through interviews with some of the school's most prestigious athletes, Hokies fans can relive the big games that defined the school's winning tradition.Carroll Dale, later a fixture with the Green Bay Packers, dove-arms outstretched-to haul in a crucial two-point conversion.

A good read for Hokie fans October 10, 2007
Mike Harris' contribution to the history of Tech football is an interesting one. He takes a player, gives you some details on how he came to Tech and what he's done since leaving, and has him relate the story of one of his best games. It's a different angle, but it works well. You can pick it up and read it from cover to cover or randomly peruse the pages to find some favorite memories.
If you're a Hokie fan and names like Dickie Beard ring a bell, this book's for you.
I used the book as a resource to fill in some details while writing Hokie Games: Virginia Tech Football Game by Game 1945-2006.
