Maryland Tailgate

Isn't it pretty?

The time has come.  It is the final Virginia Tech home game of the season.  We are miraculously still in the hunt for the ACC championship coming off a strong win against the Hurricanes.

More importantly, the last Deke tailgate of the year is this Saturday, November 16th, and we are going out with a bang!

As displayed in the obviously-computer-generated photo to the right, our new tailgate tent will sail its maiden voyage this weekend.  Additionally, we will host the freshly initiated set of brothers.  If you are starving for some breakfast or a through-hiker that made a couple of wrong turns, no need to worry.  The breakfast buffet will be hot and ready for all tailgate goers to eat.

The location is still in lot 4 where we always are.  Look for the Rampant Lion flag to direct you towards the tailgate.  If you need to see a map, look at the posts below.  The 12:30 game makes for an tailgate that will start around 10:00 am.

As always, all are welcome.

D(u)KE Tailgate

Get the you (u) back into DKE this weekend!  D(u)KE is at VT this Saturday. Join the Dekes for are traditional Lot 4 tailgate.  VT finally got an afternoonkickoff so the tailgate will start in our familiar location under the large blue and white tent. Make a point of stopping by and see what you/who you are missing.  Below is partial list of alumni and guests in attendance over the past two tailgates.  Food, drink, shelter and good company provided.  Your presence is mandatory!  Satisfaction guaranteed.  We kindly request an attendance donation of $20 DKE to the Tailgate Club to help offset the supplies and tent costs.

Check after the break to see all of the alumni that have joined the tailgate club at lot 4 this season.  We've had an awesome turnout and it has created an amazing tailgating season.

Pittsburgh Tailgate

On October 12th, the Hokies face their biggest challenge in the ACC to date.  Come support Virginia Tech against Pittsburg with your fellow Dekes this Saturday at the Tailgate club's next event.  Everybody is welcome to join. We will be at our usual spot, a Logan Thomas throw away from the stadium.  Food and drink will be provided by the tailgate club,  we just ask for donations either through the Paypal link below or at the tailgate.  For those who are still up after the game, the post game ceremonies will continue at the DKE house at 302 East Roanoke.

Based on a recent survey, %70 of the Hokies' ACC success was because of the strong turnout to the DKE tailgates.  We are expecting another large turnout for this game so our chances against Pitt are looking good.  I know I'll be there.
