As the days slowly dwindle to zero come kickoff and with tidal wave of traffic surging toward the site it seems many are eager more than ever to share their Hokie related thoughts and experiences. Piggy-backing off Joe's "When did you realize you were a Hokie", I thought it may be fun for anyone to tell us any of their favorite tailgating experiences, traditions, or recollections herein.
I'll try to keep mine brief as I can get wordy at times but some of my favorite include:
Games:
'03 Texas A&M: Otherwise known as the Huricane game. There were high winds, a ton of rain, and cold as hell but I was a Freshman and didn't matter how drenched I got. I was in it for the long haul and washed down soggy hot dogs with Beast.
'06 Northwestern: This game was an absolute snoozer and mimicked the 38-0 shalacking of UVA last year which was also an awesome tailgate in C'ville. However, I turned 21 the day before and woke that morning in an ungodly haze. By 8:15 am I was shoveling brownies and bourbon down my gullet for breakfast screaming Lets Go!!!
Traditions:
Even though personally and through my fraternity there were few traditions outside the usual drinking games, rally cries, and debauchery I have tried at every tailgate to befriend at least one fan from every opposing team. I love when other fanbases applaud us on how welcoming and compassionate we are. Whether it sharing a beer or conversation, I believe a little goes a long way.
Feel free to post stories, pictures, ideas and what not below!
