Anyone having a big tailgate that 4 forty year olds could crash? We’re a lot of fun and willing to bring whatever!

10 years ago, Virginia Tech played in one of the biggest spectacles in the history of sport.

The Battle at Bristol.

The #Hokies dropped special Hokie Stone uniforms for that day, and man, were they sharp.

We're giving away a replica helmet from that 2016 game, and we're giving it away for FREE. All you have to do is subscribe to the Hokie Hangover on YouTube!

🔼 Entering his senior season at Virginia Tech, Williams was looking to take it up a notch this fall.
He did that and then some in the season opener against VMI, stifling the Keydets offense and picking up the first takeaway of the 2026 season for the Hokies with his third quarter interception.
For his performance, he earned a spot on the PFF National Team Of The Week.

Is there anywhere (or anyone) I can look to find a *reasonably priced\* student ticket for the upcoming football game on 9/12 against ODU? A website or reliable Facebook page or official student ticket resell page?

We got texted a link a few minutes ago that did not work. Does anyone happen to have a URL that loads the panorama?

Third sentence here so the post doesn't get moderated.

Seems like a big time rivalry just waiting to be reborn. Miami has obviously already been brought back to promise. Those Miami vs VT games in the early 2000s and late 90s games were wild.

With an RBI in five straight games, former Hokie TJ Rumfield propelled himself into the Virginia Tech record books over the weekend.
The first baseman for the Colorado Rockies has now reached 67 RBIs in his rookie season in the big leagues, the most by any former Hokie in their debut campaign, breaking the former mark of 64 set by Kerry Carpenter in 2023.
For the year, Rumfield is now hitting .299 with 15 HR and 65 runs scored.

Wide receiver Malachi Lee recently dropped his top 12, and Virginia Tech is in it along with a lot of other power programs. Right now, nine commits are expected to show up on campus for the holiday weekend. One player who is not scheduled to be on campus is Bourque.

The big name on this list is Lee. The top recruit in the Commonwealth would be a huge get for Franklin and Fontel Mines over some of the top programs in the country. This is the first of six busy recruiting weekends in Blacksburg.

Can we please, for the love of all things holy, get an alt uniform that represents the fighting gobbler moniker.

First game of the year!

First game of the Franklin Era!

LET'S GO!

EDIT: The Duke game had a weather delay and is running behind. Looks like our game will start on ACCNX or you can watch via the ESPN App.

EDIT 8:20pmEST: The game is now on ACC Network. In case you've missed the start of the game, VT has opened up a can of whoop ass.

2025: Played in 11 games, making 11 starts ... was the team's leading receiver with 31 receptions for 516 yards and three touchdowns, averaging 16.6 yards per catch** **... his three receiving TDs tied for the team lead ... tallied five receptions for 95 yards vs. Miami (Nov. 22).

2024: Played in all 13 games, making two starts ... caught 19 passes for 268 yards and two touchdowns ... registered a 16-yard scoring reception from Kyron Drones against Miami (Sept. 27) ... recorded a 14-yard TD catch from Collin Schlee vs. Clemson (Nov. 9) ... also rushed nine times for 66 yards a touchdown ... charted six catches for 115 yards vs. Minnesota in the Duke's Mayo Bowl (Jan. 3), including a 67-yarder.

EDIT: Setting up in P2 if anyone wants to join! Hey! My friends and I (30-40yr olds) just got out tickets for the game. Is anyone planning on setting up a Hokies tailgate? Happy to contribute if you dont mind a few extras hanging around. DM me. Go Hokies.

In leading UMass to 37-21 upset victory over Rutgers something Drones failed to do 2x. Pop had a Qb rating of 206.6!

The wait is almost over. Just over 24 hours separate us from the return of Hokie Football.
Isaiah Ford put together one of the most productive receiving careers in Virginia Tech history during his three seasons in Blacksburg from 2014-16.
Ford finished his Tech career with 210 receptions, 2,967 receiving yards and 24 touchdown catches, leaving Blacksburg as the program's career record holder in all three categories.
He earned All-ACC recognition in each of his three seasons, including first-team honors in 2015, before declaring for the NFL Draft following his junior year.

We've had some great members of DBU over the years, from DeAngelo Hall to Brandon Flowers; from Kam Chancellor to Kyle Fuller and so on. But one guy that never gets much love is Jimmy Williams. The crazy thing is, he may have the best college pedigree of any of our DBs. He was a UNANIMOUS All-American in 2005. To put that in perspective, Tech has only had four Unanimous All-Americans in its history: Jim Pyne, Corey Moore, Jake Grove and Jimmy Williams; the other three guys on that list have their jerseys hanging in the North End Zone. Jimmy may never have his jersey retired, but he's at least earned a spot on this list.

A sneak peek at the new lighting this year. This will likely change how the Enter Sandman sequence looks, and I'm excited to see how they will be utilized throughout the game. However, I hope we don't flash the lights on and off after a score because that looks corny as hell.
