Virginia Tech will hold Military Appreciation Day on Saturday against in-state foe Old Dominion, and the Hokies are dressing up for the occasion. Tech will wear with all white uniforms, including shoes, with a special patriotic colored VT decal on the helmet. The school is also hosting a "White Effect" for the game, with fans encouraged to wear all white to blanket the stands.

There will be plenty to do pregame, with flyovers from aircraft from the U.S. Air Force and the Virginia National Guard's 192nd Fighter Wing from Langley Air Force base.
