The Hokies capture their first Bear Fight of the season with a 70-49 win over mississippi valley state (thanks for your support, Jon King!). Tech moves to 8-1 on the season with this win in the Las Vegas Classic opener, and here are the moving pictures to prove it…
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 122 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.
Still don’t understand how we ended up with more TOs than mvsu.

Thanks for the shout out, Niemo. It was a fun ride. I hope this encourages more TechHoops supporters to step up because I’ve got a feeling we might rattle off a few Bear Fights in a row in this Las Vegas Classic. Time to go “All In” on a Bear Fight!
Cheers

JvZ with the two handed swat! That was awesome. Not pretty but we’ll take the W.

Who wants their name to appear in front of the next Hokie Breakdown? Just imagine it:
The Ron Mexico Breakdown | VT 130, duke 21
Jon King, Ben Floyd and Dan Rickenbach all got in on the action and we encourage all TechHoops heads to do the same.
Any donation amount earns you a spot in our Wild Hokie Club. We'll even give you a shout out on Twitter and Facebook. We may even let you get armcurled by Niemo.
No promises, but we may also try to organize an annual Wild Hokie Club gathering where you can meet and mingle with the guys that run the site.
