		The switch was made in response to the strong preference for traditional Hokie stone expressed by several members of the Board of Visitors' Buildings and Grounds Committee, which met last Monday.
		The university's original choice of using a combination of Hokie stone and brick, with some precast-concrete ornamental elements, was primarily based on the "transitional" nature of the location on campus, adjacent to brick structures.

		When Bryan Randall entered Virginia Tech in the fall of 2001, Hokie fans weren't just looking for a quarterback -- after the untimely departure of Michael Vick to NFL riches as just a sophomore, they wanted a savior, and they were already sure junior QB Grant Noel wasn't it.
		The Hokies dropped four of their last 5, including the first loss to Virginia in 5 years; the lone win was in overtime at Temple on a missed extra point, and it was obvious the team needed to go one way or the other next season.
