Hello Hokies!  SpitzerTailgate is getting ready to head out of the cold weather into the great humidity of Florida!!! 

It wasn’t surprising to see that Branden Ore was late for a practice and will not be playing in the 1st quarter of the Orange Bowl.  Ore has suffered motivational issues his whole time at VT; including coming to summer workouts out of shape and leaving school due to academic probation.  At least we get to see what we’ve wanted all year in the running backs position….”Put in Kenny Lewis!!”

Today and tomorrow’s bowl games should be a good glimpse into the future of the rest of the bowl games, including the BCS matchups.  I will not say how many games I have won in my pool…but I will say; I’m doing worse than last year.

If you’re in Miami for the OB, and you know us; give us a call for the location of the SpitzerTailgate.  OB will probably box us in somewhere, so the tailgate won’t be as comfortable as it normally is in Blacksburg.  Bring some food/drinks.

Until next time, GO HOKIES!

A cheating scandal at FSU?  Thats what the popular media has been portraying recently of Bowden and his no-show Seminoles.  The range that Bowden stated could be up to 25 of his players not being able to play against Kentucky in the Gaylord Hotels Music City Bowl on New Year’s Eve.  He has also stated that nobody that was redshirted this year would be playing as a substitute for the ineligible players.  So, of course, the year that Frank and VT finally beat the ‘Noles, something like this comes up to play.  It will be something to see the impact of it on the bowl game….hold on, I hope I picked Kentucky.

Bud Foster to our arch-rival, West Virginia University???  That is the word out there today after Rich Rod is going to the other blue and gold, Michigan.  Other people had reported, including flightaware.com, of a jet leaving Blacksburg for Morgantown this morning.  But others had said that Bud was at practice in Blacksburg for bowl prepping.  We will always have to wait and see, but I don’t know if we could be in the same situation as FSU and offer a Jimbo Fisher-type deal for Bud.  If Foster leaves, our defense could feel it…..I hope he doesn’t take the lunchpail to Morgantown with him.

Billy Gibbons, Frank Beard, and Dusty Hill will be gracing us with their presence for pre and halftime shows at the Orange Bowl.  With such long beards and great songs such as “La Grange”, “Tush”, and “Legs”; we all will be having a good time with these near 60 year olds.  I bet they can still get around better than most of us, and hard to tell what kind of girls follow them also…

No more Jacksonville for the ACC Championship!  ACC Committee has awarded the championship game to Tampa Bay for the years of 2008/2009 and to Charlotte for the years of 2010/2011.  Non-Floridian Hokies will now be forced to drive another 3 hours or so from Jacksonville to Tampa Bay for two years, if the Hokies end up fighting for the trophy again.  As a Hokie that attended this year’s ACC Championship, one could understand about moving it away from Jacksonville.  The stadium was empty, as it also was for the previous two years, and another site could definitely give the championship game some much needed spark.

Brandon Flowers had this posted on his Facebook account. Are the Hokies going to wear a new jersey for our game against Kansas?? They’re both pretty cool looking….

Let’s go ahead and have some fun and poke fun of that other school in the state:

A Virginia Tech student and a UVA student are both using the men’s room. When they finish their business, the Virginia Tech student heads for the door, while the UVA student heads for the sink.

The Wahoo calls to the Virginia Tech student, “At UVA, they teach us to wash our hands after using the bathroom.”

The Virginia Tech student replies, “At Virginia Tech, they teach us not to pee on our hands.”

SpitzerTailgate.com has been officially launched! This website will chronicle any Hokie adventures that SpitzerTailgate embarks on. Our next tailgating opportunity will be in Miami, FL for the FedEx Orange Bowl on January 3rd, 2008! If you’re interested in attending the tailgate, please message the webmaster to let us know.

SpitzerTailgate.com was decided to be launched to further our efforts of Virginia Tech tailgating and our love for the school.
