Gobbles in support Hello fellow Hokie, I am proud to call myself a part of Hokie Nation. I'm a recent grad of 2016, but people I meet in the real world always ask me about the shooting, even though I was only in middle school.

My questions, how often do people ask you about the tragedy and how does the conversation go? Is it the first thing people ask about when you say you are a Hokie grad?

(Thanks for doing this ama).

Well said fellow Hokie.

I get asked about it when I travel to non ACC states most often. I had an intetview in Minneapolis and I was probably the only Hokie they met, so they asked me two questions: one about the shooting and where I was but the other, "But what is a Hokie?"

I went full-freshman on them and said "I am!" It's cheesey, but it was a venue to explain the unique community and sense of respect we have, especially as Hokie that wasn't there at that time.

Thanks for answering!

would you still recommend using a large bank or should I stick with a local bank?

Awesome question and I think yes

This is so exciting! Y'all are my favorite bourbon! I went to Virginia Tech, home of the Hokies, and we like to jokingly call Wild Turkey "the unofficial Bourbon of VT Tailgates."

So my question, could you (organization) ever see yourselves sponsoring a tailgate at VT home game or bowl game?
