You can put this article in the "I-have-too-much-time-on-my-hands" category. Keeping up with Virginia Tech Football statistics has been a "hobby" of mine ever since Virginia Tech started to win in 1993. There’s not much else to explain about the statistics, but before you read through the statistics, please take into consideration the following:

• All statistics came from Virginia Tech media guides, Hokie Huddlers, or other official sources.
• There is a small possibility that I have made some computational errors, but unlikely.
• Most information starts from 1993 (when VT started to win and Big East round-robin play started) unless otherwise noted.
• All statistics are up to date as of 1/5/00.
• Some subjects are highly subjective, such as: how do you distinguish between a night and day game? For example, what about a game that starts at 3:30 PM in late November? What is the definition of "bad weather"? I defined things as best as I could.
• Statistics in this article were all cross-referenced between home/away games and big east/non-conference opponents. You’ll see what I mean when you get to that section. I didn’t include Virginia Tech’s records for every possible scenario, because it would be too long.
• All games played at neutral sites (bowl games and Temple ‘95) are considered away games.
• Technically, Miami did not win the Big East title in 1995 because no team on probation can win or share the title.
• Before round-robin Big East play began (1991 & 1992) the highest ranked team was declared Big East champion.
• I am very sure I did not cover every statistical aspect of Virginia Tech football, so if you have any suggestions, let me know.
• Remember, take these statistics with a grain of salt.
