VIRGINIA TECH VS. BOSTON
A beautiful photograph taken on November 26, 1999 in Blacksburg, Virginia is featured. The Virginia Tech Hokies and the Boston Eagles game is about to begin, and Lane Stadium is packed with football fans.
After a late-night clash with the Eagles, the Hokies remain undefeated. The following year, they would lose for the first time in their history to Florida State in the 2000 Sugar Bowl. If you’re wondering what the word Hokies means, it comes from Oscar M. Stull’s “Old Hokie” spirit yell, which he coined when the college’s name was changed.
SANTONIO HOLMES
Santonio Holmes, an American football wide receiver, was having his best season with the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2009, which culminated in a Super Bowl XLIII matchup against the Arizona Cardinals. Homes had 79 catches for 1,248 yards, and this photo shows him plowing through opposing defenses before leaping for a touchdown catch with 42 seconds left.
In a cruel twist of fate, this would be his final season with the team, and he would be traded due to legal issues. His game-winning field goal gave the Steelers a 27-23 victory over the Cardinals.
