One of the many reasons I'm a Hokie fan is the game day atmosphere in Blacksburg. As I said on Monday, it always seems like a family reunion when I'm at Virginia Tech for a game.
And on game day, my family is the folks at the Clubhouse Tailgate. These guys have been to nearly every Tech game together since 2002 and accepted me as one of their own when I happened to wander over to their RVs at the 2007 Georgia Tech game in Atlanta.
Since then almost every Tech game I've been to has included taking communion (in our case a shot of Wild Turkey 101) with the guys at the Clubhouse Tailgate. My other personal tradition for home games is to grab a Rail at TOTS when I'm in Blacksburg on game day.
The guys I tailgate with are like a second family to me and make every Hokie game special. What are your tailgating traditions, home or away?

Since I’m still a student (graduating this year), I don’t really get the chance to tailgate traditionally for the games. I usually just gather some friends, chug some beer, and make the long walk from Terrace View to the stadium. I am currently working on building a 55-gallon drum grill though, which I intend to powder coat maroon and orange. That will be the first tailgate item I have.

nothing fancy
a friend from h.s. and college has 4 seats in front of my 4 seats.
often we both sell our extras to my friends or hers.
we bring food or occasionally grill … however we drink a lot of beer (good beer in my case) and throw a lot of cornhole while talking with fellow hokies around us and listening to a lot of music.
got a sweet secret and close tailgate spot that is the meetup.
