Please do me a solid and vote for our tailgate

Our tailgate is up against some stiff competition for an Ultimate Tailgater prize pack from a cheese dip company. If we win our week we win a set of tailgate chairs and the winner for the year gets bowl tickets.

Please vote for Larry Ramsey. Currently we're down 41-27 to a UNC tailgater.

Done. Looks like they blurred out all the VTs and Virginia Techs but left the Hokie Bird.

-What we do is, if we need that extra push, you know what we do? -Put it up to fully dipped? -Fully dipped. Exactly. It's dork magic.

I feel bad for Anitra, she's going to get on to check later and wonder what the hell happened.

Voted. Does this mean we can drop by your epic tailgate this weekend?

Yessir. All are always welcome. They are setting at the Friday Center for UNC. Always at the airport RV lot for home games.

I definitely took a communion shot with you guys at Bristol. Didn't know y'all were TKPers.

96-47 smell a blowout coming, just like on Saturday.

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

I love this website.

I love a good nap. Sometimes that's all that's getting me out of bed in the morning.

It told me I could vote again in 4 hours...I'll make sure to get up at 2 am for ya, furrer!

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

Keep voting, TKP!

352-121 I think Captain Insaneo just arrived and open up his favorite canned beverage!

Anitra is in the triple digits, must be doing some crowd sourcing now too

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

How does that poor guy only have 4 votes.

I too was curious and started watching his video. I'd imagine the immediate bagpipes to the ear hole doesn't make his tailgate very attractive to the general population.

She can crowd source all she wants, what she doesn't understand is that she is against a community of professional online voters.

Wait a minute...I don't remember getting paid for this.

oh, well that covers it.

Got yourself a nice lead there!

Voting from work and home.

430-172 per my last vote.

439 - TKP representin'!!!

We put the K in Kwality

441-174. First, Larry's gonna win this tailgate competition. Then VT is gonna beat UNC. You're going to get so sick of winning but Fuente's not gonna stop!

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

Is this one of those polls Trump said he won?

Really?

I know this is meant as TIC, but with the few borderline political posts in the last few days across different threads, let's just avoid politics altogether, shall we?

"Exit light..."

While we're at it, can we address the completely NSFW gif above? I don't want to narc or anything, but seriously, if my IT dept sees something like that, TKP will be swiftly blocked from our servers, and I suspect I'm not the only one in that situation.

"When I was growing up, Virginia Tech was a school that was kicking ass and taking names, and it's time we get back to that" - James Franklin

Handled. Sorry that I missed it. I saw it, meant to deal with it, and got busy with other things.

"Exit light..."

I think you're in for a tough few weeks. TKP wasn't nearly this big during the last general election. You and Joe have done a great job keeping this place apolitical, but I kind of imagine you two as Legolas and Gimli atop the walls of Helm's Deep, with the Uruk-Hai bearing down on you with campaign signs and bumper stickers.

"I liked you guys a lot better when everybody told you you were terrible." -Justin Fuente

Legolas and Gimli were on the winning side.

"Exit light..."

I'm going to say it cuz I think it's funny and I don't care if you delete this

but I think everyone in this election are losers...so yeah, you being on the winning side makes total sense

Onward and upward

I mean... I picked that metaphor for a reason.

"I liked you guys a lot better when everybody told you you were terrible." -Justin Fuente

so who are the riders of Rohan led by Gandalf in this scenario?

I would think that'd be November 9th.

"That move was slicker than a peeled onion in a bowl of snot." -Mike Burnop

If the last few days are any indication, that'd probably be high leg count comment section enforcers. Gandalf is probably Hokie Fireman, just going by his board demeanor.

"I liked you guys a lot better when everybody told you you were terrible." -Justin Fuente

I feel like this was meant more as a joke (unless I missed something).

The way TKP deals with online voting for anything VT related:

It’s later than you think.

just voted--479-193 to the good guys.

Hokies helping Hokies...love it!

499-187.... Sorry 'Nita

"Now Miami wants to talk about it." *Cue Enter Sandman*

Wait! She's going backwards. Must be they are throwing out the dead people votes......

yeah, just noticed that...LOL

Voted. Let the blowout continue.

What's the deal with it being mildly neutral? You can clearly hear "Let's Go Hokies" and see UNC baby blue but they blur out the team logos, who are they fooling?

Probably more about licensing issues with the schools than trying to make it "neutral".

Like, Bojangles is an official sponsor so they can show logos, etc. but the cheez dip people ain't so they "cain't".

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

my favorite is how the other two videos try to talk up the cheese and our boy just wants to talk football and tailgating.

524-190 right now....

Sounds about right for offensive yard totals this weekend, too

"When I was growing up, Virginia Tech was a school that was kicking ass and taking names, and it's time we get back to that" - James Franklin

Really? Because I was thinking that would be more along the lines of actual score.

No way Bud ever lets ANYONE get triple digits.

I was thinking they were NCAA implemented mercy points.

Well done sir. Smart idea asking TKP for help. I don't think I have ever seen a failed attempt on here when it comes to voting.

We put the K in Kwality

707 here.

721-275-15 now. It's like a NASCAR race and Anitra brought a 10 speed bike. Michael thought it was a Walk-a-Thon.

(poor Michael, he doesn't know what he's up against)

Typical Michigan State fan.

Vote 735! I accidentally clicked on Michaels page as well to give him the big 16.... #HokiesRespect

Just voted for my fellow Clubhouse Tailgater Larry and we are up to 738. I'm the guy who has the 3 Rotties at the airport lot.

And where, might I ask, do your Rotties watch the game?

Reel men fish on Wednesdays

I leave the game on in the coach while we are at the game. They are die-hard fans and the love tailgate hand-outs.

You got my vote, sir, and good luck. I'll vote again in 9 hours. Tried to read the comments after voting and forgot the total, but it was like 778 or something when I voted.

Edit: Or, after the above post, maybe not.

770-288.

#BeatUNC all weekend long.

Posted #BeatUNCheat on my Facebook and my UNC alum friend tell me that it won't be very hot for the game. Took me a bit too realize she read "UNC heat".

I'm gonna double check her diploma this weekend.

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

Or she knows exactly what you meant and is just turning it around on you.

Still won't be very hot for the home team.

No, she became butthurt when others explained it.

I told him I’d crawl on my hands and knees to be the DL coach at Virginia Tech. Now, all of a sudden, I’m sitting in this chair and I told him I’d still crawl on my hands and knees to work here. I just want to be here.

Apparently we can vote daily. Up to 843 with my vote today (voted yesterday too).

30 years after starting grad school at Virginia Tech, I finally defended my dissertation and earned my PhD.
Don't give up on your dreams.

While I've been able to vote daily on my desktop, I haven't been able to vote but once total on my phone.

For the record this tailgate made it to the UNC game this weekend and we had a great time with them in the elements.

Glad to hear it! Because of the weather and because I'd never been to Chapel Hill we went barhopping on Saturday instead.

A bullhorn, a bottle of whiskey and a dream.

Yep! We pulled up right behind them and they inadvertently ended up essentially hosting our Alumni Chapter tailgate. By the end of the day, I think we all had 2 or 3 wild turkey shots out of the plank which was needed as the rain and wind kept picking up.

Fun times!

Can confirm. Got there early and instead of laughing at us for not bringing any kind of shelter they took us in and let us try their homebrews in the Airstream. Good people.

And then we laughed and gave yall shelter. Had a blast with yall!

Amateur superstar and idiot extraordinaire.

Congrats man!

congratulations! looks like your lead foreshadowed our victory over the Tar Heels...LOL
