Synopsis

In Volume Four of GO TECH GO: The Inside Story Behind the Rise of Virginia Tech Football, author Chris Colston provides the inside scoop behind Hall of Fame Coach Frank Beamer's rocky start in Blacksburg. How did he end up at his alma mater? Who almost became the Hokies coach instead? What special problems did Frank Beamer face? What went through his mind? It's all here in CHANGING OF THE GUARD (1987-90), told with entertaining, easy-to-read anecdotes. Colston worked in the Virginia Tech Athletics Department from 1985-96 and went on to cover the MLB, NFL, and NBA as an award-winning reporter for Sports Weekly and USA TODAY. “Why should you care what Chris Colston thinks? Because outside that locker room, there might not be anybody who knows that team better,” wrote the Roanoke Times. “Colston isn’t just a Tech graduate; he’s a Tech expert, a Tech historian. A Tech lifer.” Colston offers a unique perspective on how Virginia Tech rose to national prominence and built an intense fan base along the way.
