Coming down the pipe are 3 film breakdowns from French plus a North Carolina film preview. Get hype. Moreover, Marcolini has a Marcolini-fun preseason column in the works. All of these pieces are slated to be published exclusively for TKPC members. But they'll be published available for all if we hit 30 new members over the next 2 weeks. It's a lofty goal, but I think the community is capable of reaching it.

anybody on the fence... it's time to join the club!
One of us.gif
hey only 9 days late! Thanks for the assist :)
Fire. It. Up.
Pumped for the new pieces!
just joined TKPC!
gobble gobble one of us
29 more to go!
No better time than now to do it. If you're on the fence about it, you're going to want it for the season which starts this Thursday as Fall camp begins in Blacksburg.
Defensive line, young wide receivers, and the most extensive breakdown of Braxton Burmeister you will find before the season opens... just saying...
Y'all, it's 100% worth it. I will say it 100X: I am a smarter football fan thanks to French and TKP.
Wish I could join again, a great value at twice the price.
Been on the fence for a while but new paycheck just hit, screw it I'm in

Welcome to the club.
fam
I'm really happy you decided to join. You TKP hard, obviously find value in the site, could have kept doing that without joining TKPC, but you did. Thank you.
I hope others who find similar value in the site decide to do the same.
I joined last week.
Unprompted, thank you for joining.
Just rejoined after a several month hiatus, I blame French!
20% of the way to the goal y'all.
I can't wait to see the 50% of the goal gif. 😂
It probably has flying monkeys, semi-clothed women, and a diatribe against cheese as a tip of the hat to French.
This is great
I'm not sure what THIS is, or if it is indeed great, but I can't stop watching it.
I'm very disappointed that I can't find the original video that Seth Allen posted. I can still hear the song with this Gif
This was the best one for this whole challenge. Seth Allen has moves.
Long time lurker / reader. Fully dipped now. Go Hokies!
NICE!!!
This gif: (1) Never gets old!, and (2) So much applicability!!
I have a mighty need to either rewatch this game or go find the GIFtory for it...
man, I totally forgot about GIFtory...I hope those come back with a vengeance this fall
And there's another one, 23 away. I'll write a personalized haiku to anyone who joins today.
Quick question - would you ever consider opening up an option for existing TKPC members to gift subs to other TKPers a la Twitch? To keep it simple you could limit the subs to just one option (one year @ $84). That way if TKPC members who want to and can contribute more than the $84/year they can do so by paying for single year long subscriptions for other members. Just spit-balling here. Thoughts?
It's not a simple thing to do on my end. The simplest thing to do would be to buy a prepaid card and send them the number.
I take it that a few expired Hardee's coupons wouldn't help?
TKPer Ronyell W. moved it to 8.
Corner from Norfolk
Sometimes burnt in coverage
Elite trash talker
I played a basketball game with Ronyell once at McComas. Can confirm he talks the trash.
Nice haiku joe
22 left with a week to go. I know the 8 who joined are set to read some outstanding preseason material. Who else is going to get fully dipped?
"Bump" to keep visible, for the benefit of the TKPC website. Still 22 memberships to go?
Yup still 22 to go. I'm publishing French's breakdown of what the pair of highly regarded freshman WRs bring to the table on Monday. That begins the TKPC-only content for the season.
I'm purely curious, and you may not want to divulge this which would be totally fair, but how many "highly active" users have not joined? People who visit the site multiple times a week and/or comment fairly regularly but haven't joined TKPC?
I'm sure Joe has a better way to look at that data, but if you go to the Turkey Legs Big Board, you'll get a decent answer to your question if you look at pages 1 & 2.
That is a good pulse check, at least 30+ targets among the top 100, now how many are still active and such is unknown
A while back I wrote a script to so the turkey leg board based on legs per day (using start date). It also calculated number of days to catch alum07 assuming he stopped posting and some other statistical info. If I find it I will post the data.
Yes I did this because I'm petty and want to know how fast I'm moving on the boards, fake internet points are what I thrive on!
I really enjoyed this post but wanted to say so in a way that did not include an upvote.
edit: found a better gif
I remember the days when VTGuitarMan had a seemingly insurmountable lead...
And then there are losers like me who hit the site multiple times every dadgum day but don't post much and have nearly zero skill with gifs and images and cannot be found in the top 200.
Right there with ya Chachi.
Just took a look at the big board, and you're 8 spots ahead of me. So, 🤷🏻♂️
Just signed up after many years of free riding. Not sure how much I'll comment, but too VT insane to remain unplugged.
Welcome!

I regret that I have but one leg to give this gif
HokieJeep need be put on blast based on this comment right about here
https://www.thekeyplay.com/comment/1058736#comment-1058736
This comment is unnecessary.
There is much that I do that is unnecessary but I still manage to get in trouble for it anyway.
Are you serious? I don't comment at all anymore about why I don't like paywalls out of respect for Joe, and I was a TKPC member the first year to support the site despite disagreeing with the paywall. Please have the same respect and don't call for people to harass me.
My dad always said "if you ain't key play....you're last"....seriously..."if you don't chew key play then f......" we know how this quote ends....French's breakdowns are worth the money folks...best financial hokie decision I've made since the loan in 1998
After years of sitting on the fence, I decided to get fully dipped.
Go Hokies!
yay! I just want to put it out there that the phrase sitting on the fence just sounds painful. But I see a lot of chain link or picket fences so could just be me.
Well, unfortunately the 30-person goal wasn't hit. Shout out to everyone who recently joined. French's breakdown of Da'Wain Lofton and Jaylen Jones drops tomorrow, and expect 1+ film reviews each week leading up to the season. You're going to love the content.
I'm sad we didn't hit your goal
But I'm PUMPED for some great content and I can't wait to start getting into football mode again
Can't wait! dot gif
Screw it, I'm in. I couldn't stand seeing new French articles and not being able to read anymore.
Let's Go!
wham bam thank u fam
I hope you feel like it's worth it. Lot's of great incoming content.
It is.

Good call on joining. French delivers the goods
Just joined after a several year hiatus!
Nice!
Unfortunately I, too, was too late to help the membership drive, but happy to announce that I just joined as well. Excited to see all the content that I have been missing and even more excited to help the site out!
It's worth it!
I'm "stick-it"-in the club.
If for only the feature of jumping to new comments and searching my own.... that was a solid feature that you captured into premium.
The n button is worth the membership alone.
I appreciate that. And it was a tough decision to make it a premium feature.
Thanks to everyone who jumped in after the bell. New members, I am shipping TKPC bottle openers this week. For anyone else on the fence, a film breakdown of the d-line and Burmeister drop next.
Cant wait.gif
