I sincerely can't afford $84 right now, and probably won't have that much free cash for 2-3 months due to circumstances that result in a rather uninteresting story.
What I could manage immediately is a monthly contribution. I even think it would be fair to charge $10 a month, and I think a lot more people would be willing to do that. It's the same thing cell phone companies do when they sell you a phone. It's always cheaper to immediately pay full price for a phone rather than pay out monthly over the course of the contract for it. Yet most people take the monthly route because 10 is less than 84 and they don't think about paying more over time. It's a marketing strategy that works. As for TKP key chain, wait for between month 10 to 12 to send it out along with a note about how much their continued support helps TKP and to please continue supporting the site.
I would also like to add that I spend more time on this site than any other on the internet. It's where I go to make the good times better and the bad times bearable. It would be extremely upsetting if I ever saw it come to an end. It's also because of this that I encourage anyone who can, please support TKP, It's the best damn website there is.
What about having official TKP viewing parties in NOVA, RVA and BBurg where x% or $1 of every drink sale would be donated to TKP? I know TKP is not a charitable organization so not entirely sure if this is possible, but I think between football and basketball season I imagine this could help with a couple thousand dollars... it could also be a way to have people signup for the Key Players Club in person.
I know an owner of a RVA brewery that has tried to get hooked up with the Richmond Hokie Club with no luck that would probably be interested in this.
He's been impressive from my limited views. Has a Russell Wilson quality (but 2" taller).
What would the app provide that the site doesn't already? If you want to launch the site directly instead of navigating through Safari, just go to the site, hit the Share button in the top right and select "Add to Home Screen." Boom, all the functionality of a TKP app without any additional development cost.
The Key Players Club is one of those things that I always meant to get around to. This post was an excellent reminder of all the reasons I needed to get off my ass and just do it. Thanks Joe and team for all of your hard work and tireless dedication. And thanks hokiebuzz for the gentle elbow to the ribs.
Surprising / not surprising of Stanford over USC for Cali.
Waking up to 11+ new members is fantastic but we still need more! We need to help continue this push into the season as even more people flood back to this site.
Wow. I voted against the grain on all of those :/
$84/year = $7/month = $1.75/week = $0.231/day. You (yes you!) can afford $0.23 a day. I know you can. Face it: you've (and I've) spent more money on lesser things. Seriously, what was your tab at TOTS/local-bar-of-choice last weekend? Exxxxxactly. Buy some PBR, stay in for a night/weekend, and this membership is covered.
Here's how Uncle Frank will react if you don't become a member.
Nobody deserves a thumbs-down from Head Hokie Emeritus.
(Edit: mathifying. With a calculator this time.)
I mean, real hard decision there. There's only one Power 5 team in the Commonwealth, so we kind of win by default.
Story of my collegiate career: A for effort, F for maths.
If this post gets 100 legs, I'll join.
He really seems mature and poised for a true freshman.
I guess they'll redshirt him but seems like he's pretty close to being able to play.
Not trying to be "that guy," but I think its more like $0.23 a day.
Interesting that they went with Marshall over West Virginia.
I'm glad to see a good response in the past 24 hours. I know it's only about 10 new members (including myself) but I hope this momentum continues.
Except Kris Humphries.
Definitely interesting how that happened a few times.
Should have done it sooner. Content here is next to none and surpasses any other pay site.
What about creating a TKP app and charging for it? I would rather use an app than go through safari on my phone. I know the idea is to keep the site free but...is a $1.99 or $2.99 app gonna set people back that far?
Neither did Lefty.
Sorry, had to play devil's advocate in the worst way
I'd like a performance fabric version of the horse on a treadmill shirt.
That and other shirt options or pint glasses would be cool.

# | 'Football Guy' Devin Wilson Talks Transition to Wide Receiver at Hokies' Media Day Saw him play my old high school in the state basketball tournament. He eclipsed most other players. He literally carried his team too. I was excited when we got him.
Getting approval to sell through app stores is a time-consuming effort, then there is upkeep and such. Running the website takes a lot of time. Running an app would probably break Joe's psyche. It's a bit of a chicken and egg thing, though - if enough money could be raised to pay someone to do software development, then products like apps could be produced, to net more money, etc.
