Congratulations! You made it.
The offseason is a drag and produces more questions than answers. The coaches and players wait offstage. When they make an offseason cameo we analyze every word that comes out of their mouths. Recruits play with our emotions and crystal ball predictions can change our outlook on the future of the program.
Then August comes.
The depth chart takes shape. Recruiting takes a back seat while we become more focused on the depth chart and practice reports. Best of all, a whole season of football is within reach.
So I say to you all: wrap up your summer honey-do lists, pick out a bourbon for the season, take a deep breath, and enjoy this moment. It's almost time for the 2014 football season.
Roll the trailer.

Let the Games Begin!
BILLDOZER NEVER DISAPPOINTS!
Yes-- you are so right. Danny DID catch that ball.
OH HELL YES
x2.
The Texas Rattlesnake always gets a leg from me!
i got chills like 4 different times
Me too, and I haven't watched it yet. ANTICIPATION!
That was so beautiful I think my mother cried.
I told myself, don't watch this first thing in the morning or you won't do any work today...I held out for about 30 second and now I will be completely unproductive.
You are the tits good sir.
Thank you Bill and Mike. I know how hard you work on the trailer every year. It's perfect. Without any second thought, it's the best one you two have produced.
Combinations of "Bill and Mike" always seem to end up in awesomeness for Hokies.
Haven't watched it yet as I going to save it for my lunch break, but I'll contribute a preemptive, HELL YEAH!
damn you billdozer. Now I've got my adrenaline pumping and still have to sit at a desk for the next ten hours...
Sounds like you have time to watch the trailer 214 times.
The trailer is 2:47, so if my math is correct, that literally would take up 9.92 hours of your 10 hour day. Sounds like a good day at work!
How many times have you watched this so far?
Very nice
Looks like my 8 hours at the duty desk just became bearable.
My 11 as well!
*runs out of the office smashing into anyone and anything in my way."
Thanks everyone! This trailer is a little darker and grittier than last years dub-step rave. Went that route because that is how I feel our team needs to be this season.
This is now how I think of you:
Hey Dozer, how do you find the soundtrack? I imagine you just searching for hours on end
I subscribe to a couple youtube channels where all they do is post up trailer music. I usually listen to it while I am at work and make note of the good ones. I always have a few songs on tap just in case I feel the need to make an impromptu highlight video after a big win.
I just now watched the video. It is EXCELLENT. As good as any network could do anywhere.
I held my breath for the whole trailer... Breath
Makes me want to run thru a wall.
Perception:
What actually happens:
EDITED BC PHOTOBUCKET SUCKS
Heh. You broke someone's photobucket. That's why I never use a photobucket link.
Here, I'll help you out with a replacement:
That's fuckin teamwork!
Thanks. I found another enjoyable one. #teamwork
IT'S SO FUCKING BEAUTIFUL!!!
Perfect start to a Friday morning!! You guys rock! I look forward to these
every season. Thanks guys!!
EDIT: Let's go!!!!!
HOKIES!!!!
Thank you-
This video is way beyond cool. This is cosmic!
BillDozer, MStrawter... gold! Pure Gold! 29 days...
Edited: more accurate gif
+1,00000000 for an Orioles .gif
Using an Orioles walk-off HR (against the Yankees, no less) to celebrate Hokie awesomeness...
I regret that I have but one turkey leg to give.
Thanks Guitarman -
I'm torn - the Football Trailer of awesomeness makes me want a bourbon; the O's walk-off makes me want a Natty Boh at Pickles.
No need to be torn or to choose. The answer is "yes."
Man, I haven't been to Pickles in 10 years.
It's my go-to place every time I'm heading to an O's game. I'll drink one for you the next time
Stop it.
You're going to make me cry.
This was great!
I'm so thankful to have you guys on our team! I brag about these videos often, as they have become part of my annual excitement for the season. ACC media days, check. Recruiting camp updates, check. August practice reports, soon to come. 2014 VT video trailer, CHECK! Great job amigos! Your Long Island resident alum is proudly bragging and showing off this video to my circle of influence, covering Penn State grads, Syracuse alumni, and the occasional Ohio State faithful. Nothing compares in their arsenal...go Hokies!
Makes me want to go grab an axe and chop me some wood. Best...ever!!
So, I went looking and found this...seemed appropriate as they are wearing somewhat Hokie colors.
So I will fess up and take all the blame for the not-so-midnight release. But I really got to tip my hat to the man, the myth, the legend, BillDozer. Graphics and coloring was my only job in this one, but the editing, the chills you get. All that guy. Need August 30th in my life, right now. Let's go!
this guy is being modest. those titles and text are cinema quality. if it wasn't for Mike, this is what you guys would get for the text
How is the new place? All unpacked?
It's badass. Backs up to a lake that is 60 feet deep and stocked with bass. I tested out my Fox College Sports Atlantic channel yesterday. Watched some FSU womens volleyball because why not. Should be ready to record all the games this season!
Currently struggling to get one of my media servers online though. It has a bad tuner card so I am working with Ceton to RMA it. Currently I 'only' have 4 tuners at my disposal. should be all set with 8 when the season starts.
Yay! Football!
Still better than UVA's photoshop job of Scott Stadium game-day attendance.
I keep coming back to this thread and this drawing cracks me up every time.
Live look at me logging in to tkp this morning
HOLY LORD YES.
I'm crying it's so beautiful
Another great piece , awesome. Let's get it on HOKIES !
AMAZING!!!! chills is an understatement!!! im at work jingling my keys and jumping up and down right now to the enter the sandman!! im so ready!!!! as always bill great job!!! wohooooo!!!! hokies football lets goooo!!!
Incredible beyond words.
Every time this video is played, a unicorn is born.
FACT.
wont be long before we are over populated wuth unicorns
Closing in on 5,500 unicorns as of 2:56p
... And a 'hoo loses his wings.
Feels like I'm ready to do this:
What I end up doing:
DEAR GOD, THAT NOISE IS WHY I WILL NEVER HAVE A SMALL DOG.
Also, probably didn't help that this was the first video that watched since the hype video so the volume was a bit high.
that can't possibly be a dog...must be a rodent of some sort.
I think it's a cat
No way.
Cats are sneaky, and they kill things.
My cat, she thinks she's a watch cat.
She comes and gets me whenever some other animal is in the yard.
She yells at my girls if they don't get out of bed when their alarm goes off and tells my wife if it's 10:00 PM and she's not in bed yet.
She greet me at the door when she hears the motorcycle go in the garage.
She likes pie. Whipped cream, not icing.
Very cool cat.
What I take from that is that you have a great wife.
But enough about your motorcycle.
This stuff about the cats reminds me of this bit from Oatmeal: How much do cats actually kill?
A teaser:
I don't allow my cat outside. Wife had a bad experience as a kid with a car and a feline so, it stays in.
As far as killing..... I have bags of grain for brewing in. My garage. I buy it by the 50 lb bag.
Mice like malted grains. However, I like them too and I have a secret weapon.
Watch cat into the garage.
She brings me her kills so I can do a head count. So, I make sure she's in a target rich environment and she gets dam skippy happy for a couple days because she gets to do what humans bred their cats to do. Keep the rodents from the food supply and keep your feet warm at night.
Oh, and the wife gets grumpy if it's too long between bike rides.
I love that the cat silhouette is so reckless in his disregard for any level of sympathy for that bird. This is what my cat does, too. He'll bring me a chipmunk, drop it on the living room floor, expect a treat for bringing it back, then decide, as it runs around the living room, that he'd rather go back outside, leaving me to catch it again and take it back outside. Only for my cat to find it, catch it again, and bring it back.
There have been times where I've removed the same damn chipmunk from my house three times in one day.
My jack russell would disagree.
I love Nick Offerman, but by his standards, Coyotes, foxes, jackals, and dingoes are not dogs. And neither are my 45 lb mexican street dog mutts.
That is one intelligent man right there. Definitely deserving of a turkey leg.
Woot
THIS IS THE OFFICIAL START TO FOOTBALL SEASON!!!!
Has been for years, thanks for making it happen guys.
Great, now I need to change my pants...
Also, could you imagine this playing on the new scoreboard before a game? I'm pretty sure the fans would flip.
"Beamerball is back in Blacksburg!" What I wouldn't give for this to be a true statement this year. Not one instance of it. Not two. EVERY DAMN GAME!
MICHAEL KNIGHT!!!
Yup 3rd time watching the video !!!! Same Results , Much Adrenaline, Such very excite!
OH MYLANTA MY BODY IS READY
Fun note, I blew a sub from the bama hype video, this years was different but just as good. (Hopefully it will cause less damage in the 100 times I watch this years video.)
The sequence of Trey's stiff arm gives me crazy chills. Well done as always!
My favorite part:
The hit is awesome, but the dude in the background really makes it.
That's good ole Donnie. I met him last year through my girlfriend's circle of friends. Cool dude. When that gif first appeared on TKP a while back, I contacted a mutual friend to tell him about it. He thought he was all that and a bag of chips for being in a gif on TKP. I don't blame him one bit.
Well, Tell Donnie that 1) he's awesome and 2) I echo his feelings in this gif.
I want to watch this at work but I'm worried I might punch my coworker through the cubicle wall out of shear excitement. Watching this is definitely going to be the first thing I do when I get home!
This is fantastic! Thank you for doing this every year.
Now I have to put the power hour on a loop this weekend!!!!!!!!!!!
Pants. Soiled.
This video is good, and you should feel good.
So much awesomeness...
UVA would have to photo shop highlights from other teams and place their jerseys and helmets on them to have anything close. I guess that would provide for full stadiums as well...
Awesome sir!
Me after seeing this:
I'm feeling AMPED after watching this!
Can't wait for the season!
I got at least 5 chills/goosebumps watching this, so frickin pumped! Great job btw!
AWESOME!!!!
RUM HAM
So far today, I have seen this video tweeted out by the VT Alumni Association and Torrian Gray, and RT'd by Moorehead. I've probably missed some throughout the day. Awesome!
how about this guy?
You're straight-up winning the Internet today.
Very Very Cool
OK 7 or 8 times viewing this today and getting ready to replay- do I have a problem?
You guys are awesome!! Thank You!
Hell Yes!!!!! This is Awesome!!! Great Job guys!!!!
Epicness pure Epicness great job guys you come through with it bigger and better every year!
And Tyrone says........
Why do I not think it was coincidence that this was posted the same day my season tickets arrived? Great work as usual!!!
Your video is not the top search result on YouTube. Do you know "hokiefan513"? Or someone named "techsideline"?
