I'm here for the memes, I just stay for the football.

Welcome to the good guys! Can't wait til "3rd and Lecitus" is a thing.

Note that he did not commit to the University of Virginia Tech.

Now finish up them taters; I'm gonna go fondle my sweaters.

To be fair though, it says Virgina Tech. Not that I'm complaining. Woohoo new recruit!

Uh... what? Virginia Tech is our name.

I think you should look closer. But that's just what I think.

haha, leg to you both. thanks for clearing that up!

He's not the only one who has messed that up. The Intro to Engineering textbook that was for all incoming engineers in 2010 had "Virgina Tech" on the front cover..

That was great showing up to the first engineering class and the professor was handing out stickers to cover up the mistake.

Did one of the stickers say "pre-business" or "pre-history"?

didn't even catch that one, lol

Now finish up them taters; I'm gonna go fondle my sweaters.

Never realized how amazing this show was until I got Hulu about a month ago

After looking at his highlight video they might have liked his blocking ability just a little bit.

WOOOOOH! good news for a good hump day

Taylor, looking desperately throws it deep..HAS A MAN OPEN DANNY COALE WITH A CATCH ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE FIVE!!!!....hes still open

Shibest has been primary on Caleb Farley (NC), Drake Deiuliis (NC), and Lecitus Smith (GA). All three star recruits. Nice... lock down the southeast.

this Georgia kid serves up some serious pancakes:

Vice as the secondary recruiter hmm not 100% sure he will be a TE.

Hell, if this man recruited me I'd play for him.

Outspoken team cake advocate. Hates terrapins. Resident Macho Man Gif Poster. Distant cousin to Dork Magic. Frequently misspells words.

I'd almost be afraid not to play for him.

Take the shortest route to the ball and arrive in bad humor.

What size helmet does Vice wear? "Boykin"?!

A decade on TKP and it's been time well spent.

Yeah. A tight end who blocks !!!! :--)
And looks like he's a backup for literally any position on offense if they go down. First name sounds almost biblical.

When this kid gets moved inside, it'll be amusing to read the analyses of the move by all the armchair coaches who criticized Beamer et al for doing the same...

Doing this every once in awhile is acceptable.

Doing it all the time isn't....

I assume you mean apply double-standards? Agree.

That's a spicy meatball

Don't you mean delicous, fluffy pancake?

Lecitus is another great addition to the Fuente All-Name team!!

"For those who have passed, for those to come, reach for excellence."

Welcome to the family, Lecitus Maximus!

I found TKP after two rails from TOTS then walking back to my apartment and re-watching the 2012 Sugar Bowl. I woke up the next day with this username.

Great pick up. Love his motor, always looking to not only "hit" people, but finish them. This guy will be a 3-year starter somewhere. Go Hokies!

If it ain't orange, it better be maroon...and if it ain't maroon, it better be soon!

From now on, he shall be called Lecitus of Burg... resistance is futile, you will be assimilated

I LOVE how he gets his head on a swivel at the second level looking for a backside linebacker! That is the stuff that opens up cutback lanes!

I'm gonna go ahead and nickname him IHOP, since he is serving up pancakes all damn day.

You had me at meat tornado.

What a great addition for the Hokies. I'm surprised I hadn't heard of him before.
Seems like a guy that could play as a true freshman.

Looks like a solid addition to the team. He had a pretty impressive offer list.

So, anybody know how to pronounce his first name?

*sigh* It's pronounced "Kevin"

I'm assuming there's a joke here that's going completely over my head. Can someone fill me in, or are you being serious?

“You got one guy going boom, one guy going whack, and one guy not getting in the endzone.”
― John Madden (describing VT's offense?)

Go to the search box in the upper right, and enter "how do you pronounce", and look for name pronunciation in previous posts. You'll figure it out.

Okay, I get the joke now, but I still want a real answer from somebody. Help a brother out?

You're hosed, sorry. I tried to get someone to tell me how to pronounce Zohn's name like a year ago and I still don't know because everyone loves this stupid joke. Now I just post pissed off gifs whenever someone makes this joke.

http://www.hokiesports.com/staff/burden_zohn.html

Virginia Tech head football coach Frank Beamer announced February 2, 2015 that Zohn Burden (pronounced ZONN) has been named wide receivers coach for the Hokies.

So like John, but with a Z.

"Exit light..."

Huh. How 'bout that. This whole time I thought it was pronounced Zone. Now I know.

Onward and upward

Better than me. I thought it was Kevin. WAIT THAT'S A JOKE???

"Exit light..."

Ok that had me in stitches.......I am rolling. Something about kicking a dead horse just at the right time....,.

Uhhh ohhh sorry HOAT......

"Don't go to, go through"

appropriate gif choice

Onward and upward

It rhymes with John? I've been making an idiot of myself!

you will never get a real answer on TKP when you ask how to pronounce anything. It is always pronounced "Kevin"

On a related note, I think it's time someone created a revised version of the inside joke reference page

i don't know why anyone thinks this kid is a good fit for the team. Smith is a terribly generic name. ;)
