This is great...thanks so much for the humor to start my Friday! My favorite: the Mike London spoof. Nice work, team!

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

I need to go home. I definitely thought this was a 2018 V-Day thread, saw your comment, and thought to myself, today isn't Friday. But that isn't the worst. I am so out of it, I actually had the second thought, maybe he is somewhere on the other side of the planet. You know, where it's two days ahead of where I am in Virginia...

I need this week to be done...

This is Awesome! :D

Happy V day Hokies!

Onward and upward

Haha! I needed this after a bad week.

The Mike London one...

I bleed orange and maroon.

This reminds me - didn't 'That 70s Show' do away with the background smoke after the first season?

Reality has a mighty pimp hand.

Great job guys. I cracked up this morning when the first thing I saw was "the one that got away"

I need more.

This is going to be great for the ACC.

Ok, I Lol'd big time.

The 50 Shades of Grey movie opens tomorrow. Timing is perfect.

This is going to be great for the ACC.

Get healthy, Facyson!

As soon as I saw this, "I Swear" by Boyz II Men popped in my head, and now I can't make it stop. That little pink heart changed this picture so much. Its like a ruin-a-picture-with-one-shape game

Plan for the worst and hope for the best, not the other way around.

I totally thought 90s boy band album cover, too.

Live for 32. Ut Prosim. Let's Go, Hokies.

All-4-One, not Boyz II Men.

Still, leg.

No, I *don't* want to go to the SEC. Why do you ask?

We don't love dem Hoos.

Did you know I used to be a cop?

This one makes me sad now...

I think 2013 is my favorite.

There's no sense in denying it...

We're in it for keeps.

You'e under arrest with my love!

Ya know, I really miss that guy.

But there's a new sheriff in Hooville...

Happy Valentine's Day, TKPers!

What? Yesterday was Valentine's...TIME OUT!

Can I get a do over?

Did you know I used to be a cop?

Bump, because I laughed a lot at last year's Valentine's thread just now

@historyhokie.bsky.social

I didn't realize this was an old thread until I got to here. These are all timeless!

2026 Season Challenge: TBD

Roses are red
I think you are great
unlike Notre Dame
who went 4-8

Found on FB.

Wet stuff on the red stuff.

All I know is that VT has played Notre Dame once. And beat them once.

So, 1-0.

.... bro.

All of a sudden, I found myself in love with the world
So there was only one thing that I could do
Was ding a ding, dang my dang a long ling long....

That's one hell of a valentine!

It would have been difficult to use Virginia Tech's "V" from the VT logo, so naturally they went to the second best football team with a "V"....Villanova

Boo hoo wahoos

I was hoping this would have a fresh 2017 version

I honestly have never made a meme in my life. I will try my hand a poetry.

The hoos doth decreed
Wait 'till basketball season
The Hokies agreed
Seth Allen the main reason

^This isn't sarcastic btw

I had two I posted over at r/CFB:

Roses are red.
UVA's field is green.
Our current win streak.
Stands at thirteen.

A Limerick for the University of Miami
There once was a team called the Canes
Who battled the team from old Lane
They claimed they were bak
And did not pick up slack
Proving lunch pails win more than cocaine.

A Poem for UVA
Your fans are atrocious
They baffle and rave
They say that our win streak is dead in the grave

They wear ties to games
They wear a bold grin
They think that Men's golf is a quality win

For Even Seth Greenberg
Was on the Hype Train
But boy were they in for a whole lotta pain

They were on a big win streak
Had never lost at home
But wrong they would be about their Guy and Jerome

For through the defense
That haired Buzz would see
That no match they would be for NAW and Kerry

And on that fateful night,
The Hoos on the Sabre say
Their hatred for VT grew ten sizes that day

Into Overtime
that game would be sown
the game was over, it was all blown

But NAW and Kerry,
would not go without a fight
A putaway rebound, to end the Hoos night

Not learning their lesson
the hoos fans never quit
spewing random statistics about college selectivity and shit

But Hokies fans know
how everything will go down
when the last week in November rolls around

You put those words together, those are my favorite words, Popeyes and bahama

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

True love is patient

"How the ass pocket will be used, I do not know. Alls I know is, the ass pocket will be used." -The BoD

We all agree it's a catch, but I'm trying to remember...did they initially rule it not a catch and then didn't overturn it? Or did they rule it a catch and it was overturned to not be a catch? One is much more a travesty than the other.

I do remember having plenty of Michigan fans telling me it was a catch.

They ruled it a TD and overturned it 😡😠

"The Big Ten is always using excuses to cancel games with us. First Wisconsin. Then Wisconsin. After that, Wisconsin. The subsequent cancellation with Wisconsin comes to mind too. Now Penn State. What's next? Wisconsin?" -HorseOnATreadmill

Right, the ultimate of travesties, because that's essentially saying there was enough evidence (which nobody else saw) to overturn the call on the field.

Yup. Now, I'm mad all over again.

called it a catch initially. overturned it about 20 minutes later. absolute fucking travesty.

Old sigline: I've been cutting back on the drinking.

New Sigline: lol it's football season.

Long enough for the director of the Sugar Bowl (Michigan alum) to talk to who he needed to talk to.

Because of that I have trouble watching replays that involve my teams. Was watching it with a slew of uninterested housemates, all of whom agreed catch, one of whom walked in mid-review, assumed that they had called it incomplete on the field and after watching one replay was confident that it would be overturned and called a catch.

On close plays in close games I'll usually get up and walk out until they come back and make the announcement.

Old sigline: I've been cutting back on the drinking.

New Sigline: lol it's football season.

IT WAS THE BULLSHIT OF ALL BULLSHIT

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

Yeah, not exactly a Valentine's Day card.

I was just rubbing salt in APFOW's 'too soon' wounds. I'm kind of a dick.

Old sigline: I've been cutting back on the drinking.

New Sigline: lol it's football season.

Isn't that kind of a prerequisite for your profession?

Yes. Yes it is.

I'm an AssPocketFullOWhiskey not an AssPocketFullOTequila. You can keep the salt.

Love stinks

The taste is so divine
A chemical come alive
Welcome to your vice
Good luck with life

You can't
You can't kill me that easily
