BEYOND LANE STADIUM

'WHAT JUST HAPPENED???? That was the question that a lot of players and coaches was asking themselves at the conclusion of the Sugar Bowl in New Orleans back on Jan 3, 2012. In a game with highs and lows, we sure had our share of mistakes, but just like in life a mistake is only an event and does not determine who you are.  I must say that I have never seen a team FIGHT harder than the way that this group of men did. Unfortunately we fell short and lost the game 23-20 in overtime to Michigan. I am not a betting man, but If I were, i'd bet the coaches and players will be better becuase of this loss.  OH YEA!!! This one is going "BEYOND LANE STADIUM'

As only HE can, God will use yet another set back to shape and mold us into the MEN that he designed us to be. He is doing some amazing things in the  the lives of  the coaches, players and staff here at Virginia Tech Football. These things that I speak about go way beyond the scope of football.  

Off of the football field, the TRUTH about "What is a Man" is being taught during one on one times with coaches and players,  during sharetimes (Bible Study), and Chapel services. The very core of our hearts foundations are being challenged and reconstructed as we read in God's word what it means to be the Man, Husband, Father, Son, Player, & Coach that God has designed us to be. We are praying for His continued presence and power within us as we seek His direction for us. 

As we embark upon the spring semester in which the coaches are recruiting and the players start on a new off season workout program,  I solicit your prayers for the Virginia Tech Football program. My DESIRE & VISION is that the lives of the coaches, players and staff will  continue to be changed by the Gospel and even more will come to know God for themselves. I pray for GROWTH in every area of our lives, and to be a lasting influence in the lives of those that look up to us as coaches and athletes. With God as our HEAD COACH, we strive to make an impact on our families, team & "BEYOND LANE STADIUM" to our campus, community, state, and region.

WE ARE GOING HIGHER!!!!!!   ISAIAH 40:31
