The Hokies are coming to town and they are kicking off the season against top ranked USC, reports the Washington Post.

FedEx Field has been chosen as the site to open the 2004 college football season matching Virginia Tech against Southern California. Kickoff for the Aug. 28 Black Coaches Association Classic is scheduled for 7:45 p.m.

You can bet dollars to donuts that I'm going to do everything I can to get tickets to this game. Given that Northern Virginia is packed with Hokie alumni, that may not be an easy task.
