60 Second Snapshots (Podcast)

While they were enjoying a fun afternoon picnic with yard games and burgers, we took the opportunity to check in with some of our postgraduate football players in short 60-second interviews to get the low down on their go down. What's it like going through Coach Shuman's 3-a-day practices in the August sun? Where did they play their high school ball? Where do they want to go play their college football?

On The Reviewing Stand

I attended a summer session at Fork Union this past summer, and I want to say thank you! That brief summer session has helped me develop in so many ways. This sounds real corny, but in "Body, Mind, and Spirit" I feel as if I have grown. I am done with my first semester at Virginia State and my GPA is a 4.0. Will you please tell COL Nothnagle I said thank you, for everything including the 50 homework questions a night, lol, and if everything goes well I plan on transferring to West Point. I know the odds are slim to none, but you never know if you don't try, right? Once again, thank you!
