It's hard to believe that the home football season for the Hokies is over and in the books. I've never had so much fun tailgating and it's a shame the season is over. The main reason the tailgating was so great this year is the great group of friends and co-workers that come out to eat, drink their favorite beverage, play cornhole, and chat about an unimaginable number of topics. A big thanks goes out to David and Jenny Catalano. They are the ones who actually paid for the great spot and we owe them big-time. Also, a big thank you to Bill Boebel who let us use his truck all season, got up at 6:30A.M. to secure the spot, and probably paid for lots of food and drinks out of his own pocket. There are many other people that helped out with the tailgates each week and I'm sure I am going to forget someone (it's a long season, and I didn't exactly take notes) but here it goes:
Velvet, thanks for the awesome taco-dip and most importantly, putting up with me.
David and Megan Lawson, thanks for the great food, beverages, and putting up with all of us.
Gary Francis, thanks for introducing us to the great game of cornhole.
Matt, thanks for getting the food several times and bringing Velvet a birthday cake.
Mike, thanks for being a great cornhole partner and let's just agree never to wrestle again...
Brian Matthews, thanks for the great phone call at 2:30AM, sorry the girl never showed up. :)

Bill (again), thanks for leaving the truck running for 12 hours straight so we could listen to your great music. :)

If I forgot about someone or something, I'm sorry in advance, and feel free to leave a comment. Me and Velvet will probably skip on the ACC Championship game, but are planning on attending the bowl game. Let us know if you are going too!
