Ryan Dye will help TKP cover the football program this fall. Ryan's a Multimedia Journalism major at Virginia Tech set to graduate in 2018. He's pumped for the opportunity and I am excited to watch him develop as a writer and reporter. He is set to complete an internship this August with the Salem Red Sox focused on gameday productions. He also has experience as a sports reporter with VTTV.

Welcome look forward to your contributions.
Welcome! Can't wait to see #Sauces you dig up for us...
Perhaps I'll see you around campus some, considering I'm entering into Tech this fall in the same major
Awesome that we will be in the same major. If you ever need any help with the department or anything of that sort, just let me know! Happy to help a Hokie.
Legend11 passes along his biggest congratulations! Southwest VA doing big things!!
Thank ya, old friend. Nice to have some people I know here to judge my work twice as hard. Haha.
Just checked out the Richlands Pump up video this weekend! Great work! Football is upon us!
Thanks!! I had a blast making that. Glad you enjoyed.
Celebrating in the most TKP-appropriate manner:
Welcome aboard, Ryan!
Thanks everyone!! Looking forward to getting started and getting to know everyone. If there's any questions you guys want me to ask at events or any stories you think would be interesting, hit me up!! I am a man of the people.
Cake or pie? You Must Pick One!!!!
Firmly on #TeamCookie :)
So basically, team pie. Wonderful (:
I like to consider team cookie and team cake allies.
I am also a fan of cake. That would be choice two. But pie? Not for me.
Aww, you mad Fireman?
IF YA SMELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL
You're my new favorite.
The irony here is the Rock actually likes pie
Team Cookie is like the Dr. Pepper of soda machines, both Coke and Pepsi offer it
My father in law still won't drink Dr. Pepper because he thinks it's a Pepsi product.
That used to be the case more often, but these days I always end up seeing Mr. Pibb (er, Pibb Xtra) in Coke machines instead of Dr. Pepper.
Now, in restaurants that only offer Coke products? That's another story.
So.....Richlands, huh? Cheers to another RHS to VT person on here.
Oh and welcome to TKP! Looking forward to your articles and insight.
Blue tornado through and through. #TheStormIsComing
Are you the Ryan Dye from that swvasports.com website I used to be a part of but started to hate because of the politics and rednecks? If so, you were one of the few I liked. Hi again.
That would be me. What was your handle??
rhymed with goose's mild.
Caboose's Wild? Moose's Child? Looses Piled?
dueces wild?
Oddly there was a Hokie07 over there I liked too. I don't think you are him though.
nope. Never been on a swvasports site. I've only ever frequented Tailgate Fever, dontfirealgroh, firebryanstinespring, and TKP.
I think that's a fine site resume. Swvasports is fairly toxic and overflowing with ego. There was a time when it was good though. But really nothing tops TKP
Ahh TailgateFever...never missed a preview.
Duces!!!!!!
There's not many of us left from back in those days. Lot of new blood.
Yeah, there really hasn't. I've not been on that board in months, to be honest with you. BTF here.
Welcome! And thanks in advance for your work!!
Welcome and please post your drunk pics
Nice to see you enjoy soccer! I'm usually the odd man out in my fandom, although I'm a fan of Chelsea FC. And the US national teams. However, we may have a problem with the pics....ha!
Someone else posting the Macho Man?
But great to have you on board Ryan! Awesome pick for your favorite Hokie!
I hope there were numerous interview questions about tight ends.
Welcome!
Welcome. Like the clever avatar.
I'm a Hokie all day, but at the end of the day, I'm a Blue Tornado. Had to pay homage to the hometown.
Okay, now I actually get it. Looked like an R with a D in the middle, for Ryan Dye. But really R for Richlands. Not sure if Strasburg ever played you guys back in the day ('90s).
If we did, it was before my time. But I don't believe we ever have.
Welcome aboard! Glad to have you..can't wait to read some of your work. Joe has done a terrific job with TKP so I'm confident you'll be a great addition to the team! Enjoy it!
Welcome Ryan and don't forget to throw in some stuff for us old guys. We love to relive our Hokie Days through you all.
Emma sends a warm greeting...
Welcome Ryan! I'm Dye-ing to read your first article.
(it had to be done)
That....that had to be done.
That legitimately made me LOL!
You poor bastard, get ready for some Hokie heat...er, love! Welcome aboard!
Good luck and looking forward to seeing your contributions! I too was a journalism major at VT. Graduated '07. If you mention my name in those classrooms you will either be handed a free beer or slapped in the face...
I'm afraid now....lol
Welcome!
And thank the big one you're last name isn't RYAN!!!
Additional comment should be chiming in, in 3, 2, 1...
This is the only Ryan that I care to remember exists
Nope...Different Ryan...
Welcome!
Welcome aboard young fella!
via GIPHY
Any relation to Peter Dye or Sonya Dye?
I don't believe so.
Why do you look like Frank Beamer dancing? Are you related? Aging prematurely? Or just a naturally gifted dancer?
All of the above.
i kid, welcome aboard.
Get a good grasp of the farm while at Salem? What do you think about Beinintendi, he just got the callup to the majors, jumping right from double-a. He spent quite a bit of time in Salem this year and last year I believe.
This was his first year in Salem. He lasted about 5 weeks with us and then got called up. Kid is legit. Never gonna hit for 25 HR in a season, but he's gonna get hits. He's speedy enough to leg out a triple easily (had 8 in Salem I believe). Yoan Moncada will be right behind him. Moncada is their prize player and is worth every penny. Salem was loaded for a while. Now half of our team has moved on lol.
Still, its a pretty cool to see the young kids in Salem, with a whole lot of hype before they hit the big leagues. Glad Dombrowski didn't move either of them before the deadline. Thanks for the insights, best of luck to you on the new gig!
