Tailgating

With a better understanding as to why the game this weekend will/will not be sold out, let's switch gears a little bit and focus on who will be attending. I've waxed poetic in prior posts about how this site in conjuction with social media outlets like twitter have allowed readers to match faces with names on game days. I still believe firmly in this effort and hope this weekend will be yet another opportunity to do just that.

If you are as amped about the game and eager to meet the fine folks here please feel free to use the space below to tell us where you will be and possibly where you're sitting.

To start things off I'll provide my account of the day. Use the timeline at your own disposal.

As the days slowly dwindle to zero come kickoff and with tidal wave of traffic surging toward the site it seems many are eager more than ever to share their Hokie related thoughts and experiences. Piggy-backing off Joe's "When did you realize you were a Hokie", I thought it may be fun for anyone to tell us any of their favorite tailgating experiences, traditions, or recollections herein.

I'll try to keep mine brief as I can get wordy at times but some of my favorite include:

A bunch of my friends and I are going up to the Pitt game and looking for a group to tailgate with. Anybody know the best place to park around the area up there? Post here if you're interested or if you know anything about the tailgating and parking situation at Pitt.

By now many of us have desperately torn the cellophane barrier off of NCAA '13 in order to get the first digital glimpse of football for the coming year. However it may satiate appetites during the dog days of Summer, nothing can beat actually witnessing the first game of the season. Therefore, I want to get a jump start on planning and figuring out the logistics of this magical happening come Labor Day.
