SAN FRANCISCO - Virginia Tech senior free safety Willie Pile has been nice enough to provide hokiesports.com his video camera and give the Hokie fans around the world a glimpse into Tech's bowl preparation for Air Force.

Each day, Pile will video tape the different events and happenings in San Francisco. Be sure to check back each night or morning for his daily entry into his video diary.

For Pile's first entry, Pile interviewed Aaron Rouse about his first flight ever, the delays Tech encountered in getting out to the west coast, shows you around the San Francisco Hilton - the team's hotel - and takes you into the team's game room and dinner.

Friday's entry includes Pile's thoughts on Tech's first practice, an interview with Kevin Jones, a complete tour of the Hokies' trip to Alcatraz Island and much more.
