They "Killed" Pete Morris?
I'm guessing the SID, Pete, now runs it all. Since Guerry is gone the team account is over. But this may have been done poorly.
I guess he's never heard of the "save" button?
If he worked on promotional material, and didn't first save the files outside of twitter, than this was a lesson long overdue
I think he's saying that all the videos he made got deleted off of Twitter.com so nobody can publicly view his hard work through Twitter
That's where you pitch to your boss to start a Hokie Football Archive YouTube channel
he was working for a company so those are not his videos. Those are VTs. They decide what to do with them.
Not the only thing wrong with VT football videos
You, sir, are one persistent MF. 🤣🤣🤣 I love it.
Believe it or not it may be paying off. The Furman recap looked much better than they have been.
Well then, by all means...
Not that I wouldn't tell you to do that anyway. Your persistence amuses the hell out of me.
The Creative Director DM'd me on twitter last week and said he was on board with trying to get the video department's shit together with their color so I consider myself a small success story
Yet another screw up from Pete's department.
The man needs to be let go.
Yeah having multiple Twitter accounts doesn't help the customer journey for their user, it just confuses them.
Completely understand why they did this and that fact that they lost all that contact is a real lame. They should have thought about that.
What was the point to having 2 different accounts again? What was the difference between the two? They were both verified.
Neither one had blue check.
Really? For some reason I thought they both did.
One was the BeamerBall account and the other was the FB account. When Beamer left, they both became a football account, so this essentially signifies the end of a BeamerBall twitter account or the coming of a FuBall related one.
Let's put it this way I had one of them blocked on Twitter so it was impossible for me to see the tweets and only followed @hokiesfb. This is upsetting news for me.
Update: @hokiesfb has now been blocked. Refuse to read Pete's dumbass tweets with 500 emojis
Way to steal Bitter's joke
Timestamp don't lie
So your saying more than one person came up with the low hanging fruit joke. Although to give credit you elevated it beyond what I thought of.
Yes, you guys are probably to first to make jokes about a guy named "Kill" killing it.
See, announcement thread.
No no clearly Andy Bitter was the first and I plagiarized his work.
lol are you butthurt or
You have a tendency to come across as angry.
Only about fucking paper airplanes during football games and people thinking fire safety and staffing and some other safety regulations aren't important.
Pfffft what's the worst that can happen??
This where a single firefighter staffed engine pulls up to your house on fire and watches.
at this point, you pull out the bag a Stay Puft, Hershey's chocolate, and grahams; just make a smores
n/a
Sure, sure. The paragon of fire safety...
...until the paper airplanes are in flames.
Just sayin'...in his own words.
.....................................wow.........................................
just................ wow................
Fire can be used for good too. Back burns for example. Burning paper airplanes would be a public service for the greater good.
You mean used for good like this?
Yes thus rendering them unable to make more paper airplanes.
Which are obviously more dangerous than burns to the hand.
Have you seen a single sheet of paper burn before? It's not damaging your hand long term more a life lesson don't touch a hot pan type of thing.
So, name when a paper airplane has done long term damage? I mean, other than your personal mental health.

So only things that cause permanent physical harm to another person is behavioral wrong?
C'mon man, let it go.
Because I'm the one who brought it up then went and hyperlinked a previous comment?
Dude, take a breath. I'm fucking with you.
I wonder how he feels about metal airplanes ✈️.
Fun Fact: Metal airplanes injure and kill more people per year than paper airplanes.
I wasn't sure at first then I thought you were serious. It's been a rough three weeks here and I just need to take a break from a lot of things. My bad no hard feelings.
None here either, but you do get a little carried away with the paper airplanes. Just saying, man. There's too much going on to get so worked up about something so trivial. Tell you what, I will start my first fall fire with a paper airplane. ...if it every cools off enough to have one.
There was even the standing ovation for a security person yelling at a paper airplane thrower.
like its right out of a r/thathappened post
She didn't yell and she was a state trooper big difference.
r/thathappened
It did because a trooper enforcing the rules at the stadium is kinda why she was paid to be there.
It's true, I was the paper airplane.
Dam does everyone need a pat on the back
I just wanted to use an Office meme, tbh
Don't care about the time stamp or the joke...
All that matters is that Andy used the < /s > in his tweet. Clearly a TKP insider.
That's used pretty ubiquitously all over the internet.
/S
but does it show the Running back in a Pistol formation?
Cool, now if they could only merge the press conference confidence with the on the field play.
Wait he has the last name of kill and that Joke has only been used 68 billion times? Need to up our game
I love VT. Love it more than most things, really. Been a donor for over 20 years. Proud Alum. Paid for my son to go there out of state. I love it. If you find me a worse major college in terms of marketing, I'll get a UVA tattoo. It's ridiculous. Google VT apparel... on any site. You get 1/3 of the amount of things that WVU, UVA, Mich State, - insert P5 school here- gets. Try to get a VT licensed BBQ grate that is available for all other ACC schools..nope. Nike made WVU custom Pegasus shoes for this football season. VT? nope. the list is too long to type. Our marketing is in about 1987 right now.
College-licensed BBQ grates?
Do they sear the college logo into your steaks?
No, they are actually well made steel that hold heat better than stock grates for the BGE. I am part of a group that posted a site that had- of course- Michigan, Penn State, WV, UVA, Bama, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc. Not VT of course. no. there are a million other examples.
For the Big Green Egg? Cool.
This is a valid point. Every once in a while I find myself agreeing with dcwilson40. This is one of those times
Living in upstate SC you could convince me pretty easily that Clemson has officially licensed a version of every product a human being can possibly own.
I had no idea that this was related to efforts by the school.
I figured demand had more to do with it.
I'm definitely down for more VT-related stuff.
Oh yes... a schools licensing and marketing arm has a ton to do with it. And our Air force level Nike deal (if that) has a lot to do with it too.
We use fanatics for our online store.
Our Fanatics site is hot garbage. Nothing is pre-sorted. There's no splash page or anything like that. Compare to the other schools that are listed there, and its just pathetic.
Campus Emporium has a much, much better GUI and inventory if you're looking to shop online for VT merch.
FTFY. So much crap comes from them yet they now seem like they have a monopoly on sportwear. Even before they went real down hill, I tried to order a nice, quarter zip underamour shirt with the VT logo. Shows up at my door and there's a big, purple "W" instead of a VT. So I send it back and they say "sorry, we'll resend you one." A week later another package. Sweet. Open it and before I even open the plastic bag it's in I see another Washington logo. I notice that the product stick on the bag shows "Virginia Tech Quarter Zip." I send them a picture and say they have it labeled wrong. They say "oops, sorry" and then no other words. Granted, they refunded me for the shirt and never asked for it back. I still wear it because it's a nice shirt, but would have really liked it with VT on it since I have no connection to Washington whatsoever
Plug for Alumni Hall. They have a lot of stuff that Fanatics, VT Bookstore, etc. don't have. Located next to Bull and Bones or online.
Eh, Alumni Hall is decent, but any "sale" they have, they literally put a stick on the tag with a higher price marked down to a lower price. I went since they were having 25% off nike apparel. Saw the price tag and noticed it was a sticker, peeled it up and saw the MSRP price was the same as the sale price. I don't particularly care to give my money to companies like those.
I'd more plug for Campus Emporium, especially since TKPC members get an extra discount
EXACTLY! A lot of shady stuff going on when it comes to sales in a lot of the VT stores.
We get a discount at Campus Emporium?
EDIT: Apparently it's been sitting at the right side of the window the whole time...
agree- their golf collection is fire!! I love that store
I've never had any pricing problems at the Alumni Hall store, but I tend to lean there more than the other bookstores, I feel like they carry more diverse stuff.
When I Google : VT apparel, I get swamped with stuff... Google most likely works based on location, I don't know where you live, but if you mentioned you paid for out of state, I'd guess the further you are from VT, the less results you'll get.
Our university commercial is trash. I wouldn't go to VT after seeing that ad.
#HireRealDiehl
I actually got an ad for a Clemson National Championship kayak yesterday. And it showed the tiger pouring the resin in the mold for the first one off the line. I want a VT kayak.
Buy an orange kayak, slap a maroon VT sticker or two on it.... boom, VT kayak
You just saved him $300.
I actually already own an orange kayak and a maroon kayak . With VT stickers on both. But I would buy another one that had VT molded into the actual boat. I went back and looked at the Clemson one again. I didn't realize that perception kayaks are made in Greenville, SC. So it makes more sense to me now why they have one. Plus, the whole National Championship thing.
Take your orange and maroon kayaks, cut them in half. Then take one end from each kayak and Flex-Seal them together.
Boom, TWO orange and maroon kayaks with VT stickers on them.
Soup out here just slaying problems.
The production is staggering.*
*Until Salad gets a hold of the keyboard.
Salad creates more problems than has solutions. I wont let him wedge himself into this. I know how Caesar must've felt because he usually ends up sabotaging me and stabs me in the back.
I usually have mixed feelings about him cuz he usually just tosses ideas together last minute. I'm the real chef in this situation, always cooking up ways to solve problems.
With this as inspiration for the crew, tons of ideas will follow.
SoupHokie09 (gets a hold of a keyboard): "What is this black keyboard bullshit? You take one maroon keyboard and one orange keyboard, cut them both in half, Flex Seal them together, and slap VT stickers on them. Boom, two orange and maroon VT keyboards."
So, is Pete at UNC now?

That's funny as hell.
