Good grief web design has come a long way since the 1990s...

It's less painful to navigate than Le Sabre.

So it's got that going for it.

Which is nice.

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

Just looked him up and he graduated with a mechanical engineering degree and landed a job working on Jeff Gordon's pit crew.

Not the bagman VT deserves, but the bagman VT needs right now.

Yeah, AVG says the site is infected.

This is going to be great for the ACC.

I half expected a MIDI version of Enter Sandman to automatically start playing

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.

We weren't playing Enter Sandman in 99.

There is nothing in the world like Thursday night in Blacksburg!

A former high school quarterback in Orlando, Fla., Charlton is the lone member of the Hokies' 1998 starting secondary who returned.

Replacing the secondary for the 99 season went well.

We can also rejoice in the rejection of Virginia tailback Thomas Jones, who was shunned by the voters despite leading some little basketball conference in rushing

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH it's funny cuz now we're in that conference

They'll really get after ya

To be fair, we are in that conference because they wanted to become a football conference, instead of "Florida State and their 8 opponents".

To be really fair, we're only in the ACC because Mark Warner has giant fucking testicles.

Well, true, a fact that he never fails to remind us of to this very day.

My point was that, in the time since that was written, the ACC has made moves specifically intended to improve their football product, to become something more than a "basketball conference plus Florida State".

I love this part of the website...
