Hokiesports Video Contest: Lead Hokies onto field before Marshall

By: Strofan7 on August 7, 2013, 11:29 AM | 18 comments

Since the winner will obviously come from TKP, I figured it should be posted here.

BLACKSBURG (hokiesports.com) The Virginia Tech Athletics Department announced Wednesday a Facebook Coachem Up video contest where fans have an opportunity to give their best pre-game pep talk to the Hokies. To enter, fans must upload a thirty second video to YouTube and then submit it to the Coach Em Up contest on the Virginia Tech Athletics Facebook page. Fans can also enter their video via Twitter using the hashtag #CoachUpHokies.

With each entry and vote, fans will receive a coupon for Virginia Tech sideline apparel by Nike. Entries will be accepted through Sept. 4 at 5 p.m., and at that point, the five finalists will be narrowed down to an overall winner. The winner will have the opportunity to run out of the tunnel with the Virginia Tech football team when the Hokies take the field to battle Marshall on Saturday, Sept. 21.

can we post speeches that are already done, like Van Der Beek's in Varisty Blues or Kurt Russell's from Miracle?

we get to run out of the tunnel during a game, but we should also have to give said coach em up speech before.

Also, will Lou Holtz be entering?

Decided to go for it. After tweeting with the guy running it, he said it didn't have to be an actual pep talk. just a 30 second hype video. I am basically entering a 30 second remix of the 2013 trailer.

Don't forget about your TKP peeps when you are pep talking the team. If this doesn't win then the contest is rigged.
