It was great seeing so many Hokie basketball fans (and three nancy lion fans) at the Hard Times Cafe in Arlington, VA for the VT vs. psu Viewing Party! Here is a link to the photo gallery from the event.
Thank you again to Hard Times (Doug, Mark, Tony, and Mike) for putting on this event, which included a free chili buffet, drink specials, and tons of giveaways including Washington Capitals tickets, a $50 gift certificate to Hard Times, numerous $20 gift certificates, and a ton of Hard Times Hokie t-shirts!
We can’t wait to get back there for another event and hopefully another big Hokie win.
Niemo is a member of the VT Class of '98.
Attended every home basketball game during his 4 years at VT after missing the first home game. Has attended 116 straight VT football home games (every game since '94), eclipsing the 100 mark in September of '09.
During the final home basketball game of his senior year, he was brought onto the court and was awarded 2 passes to the Atlantic 10 Basketball Tournament in Philly during a timeout. The Hokie Bird made the award on behalf of Athletic Director Jim Weaver.
Niemo was known to be in the front row of every home game with his familiar red afro hairdo.
Niemo currently lives in DC and speaks the Hokie gospel as often as possible. He watches over 50% of all ACC games, making him one of the most knowledgeable experts on ACC basketball.
