Norm Wood

Norm Wood, longtime Virginia Tech beat writer for the Newport News Daily Press, shares what it's like to follow a team that often requires a nine-hour round trip just to cover a press conference. Norm also gives his take on Virginia Tech's dramatic decline in football since the Hokies ruled the ACC from 2004 into 2011 before Clemson broke the stranglehold. He also shares some anecdotes about the inimitable Randy King, a one-of-a-kind sportswriter with some legendary stories -- including that time when he accidentally set a Virginia Tech player on fire.
