Next, accomplish abiding you are dressed for the occasion. It all depends on the weather, but an accurate Virginia Tech jersey (either beach or white) works great. If it’s a brittle abatement day, get your admired Virginia Tech sweatshirt. If it’s aboriginal in the division and warm, grab a Virginia Tech t-shirt, maybe a continued sleeve bodice if you wish to break cool. A fleece, pullover, shell, or glassy Virginia Tech golf shirt are aswell options. I consistently try to abrasion beach – we are a beach school. Orange, white, and added colors adulterate the amphitheater effect.
Hokie tailgates are all about aliment and beverage, so this should be top priority. I like accepting there aboriginal so that the barbecue can be set up and accustomed abundant time to smoke some array of meat for hours, maybe ribs, Boston butt, or marinated accomplished chickens. But assay in accepted should be the centerpiece of your tailgate. Burgers, sausages, chicken, steaks, or angle can all accomplish abundant tailgate fare. Hokie country is bar-b-que country, so accept a booze that fits what you are assay and will accomplish your tailgate bedfellow happy. Complement your meat with whatever abandon and candy you or anyone abroad can bring.
Food is a priority, but beverages are the courage of your tailgate. Personally, I agree football affair with ‘brown water’, aka bourbon. There’s annihilation like a acceptable Kentucky bourbon or Tennessee whisky to get you accessible for bold day. However, this is a claimed thing, and you charge to accept a array of beverages, but alcoholic and non-alcoholic, to amuse your bedfellow (or accept them accompany their own).
Other important aspects of your tailgate: How are humans traveling to acquisition your spot? Get a alpine Virginia Tech Flag, adapt it some and fly it high. Also, accouter you Hokie tailgate out with Virginia Tech chairs, coolers, and blankets. Everyone should be bubbler out of Hokie cups and mugs too.
