So many remarkable moments tonight. But this one sticks out to me:
Bryce Watts has his “Reggie Floyd” moment — Tracks down Akers on his 85-yard run to save a TD and set up the Kumah TD.
@coachfostervt
pulled him aside & said something to the effect of, “I’m a proud coach.”
Dad calls it. Son gets it. ‼️‼️
What a cool family moment to start the Nashville Regional. Awesome
@vandyboys
win & a moment Little Man will talk about forever!
Thanks again to the
@dore_report

Woah. Winning Virginia Sportscaster of the Year is really special. I’m thankful for all who voted.
And it’s extra special to receive an award that’s gone so many times to a friend who taught me so much. ➡️
@BillRoth_
To HokieNation —
Thank you for 8 magnificent years. I feel so indebted to Blacksburg and the

Ian Seymour takes a no-hitter into the 9th, but a one-out single breaks it up. He does earn his first career complete game and improves to 4-0 with the victory.
What Carter Holton has done the past two weeks is remarkable for the

From a broadcasters perspective, it’s *possible* they were being supportive of each other for a good call.
But...bare minimum it’s an uncomfortable look...

Vandy fans —
You’re going to love Coach Byington. He was an assistant at Virginia Tech while I was in Blacksburg. He’s an A++ person.
The work he did at Georgia Southern & James Madison speaks for itself. Can’t wait to call his games!

Check out some final thoughts from Rhett Wiseman (
@Likewise9
) - who joined the radio broadcast tonight…
I’m captivated by the start of college baseball tomorrow.
There is so much talent back on campus because of the short MLB draft & extra eligibility. We could see the best on-field play (especially pitching) in a long, long time.
Let’s get it going,
