Publisher's note: When BilldozerVT asks for my thoughts on various drafts of the trailer each year, I know it's ready once the chills set in. Some years, that takes a few passes, but this season I got slapped in the face by the initial cut. The fully dipped version came assembled right out of the box. And it's 🔥. Crank your volume to 11, press play, and then please hammer the share buttons below. Enjoy! — Joe

It's a struggle each offseason trying to make it to September. Obsessing over every rumor, tidbit, and scandle can only help to maintain my sanity for so long. August is a milestone, the home stretch. It's when the trailers and hype videos roll out. Watching them, I can smell the turkey legs, taste the bourbon, and feel the electricity in the air. There's still a bit more than a month to go until Virginia Tech takes the field at Doak Campbell Stadium on Labor Day, but my heart is already pounding. Turn up your speakers, hit play, and start jumping with me.
