I caught this gem of a BCCM at a BBQ joint in Woodbridge.  Giant VT magnet on the side? Check.  Maroon? Check.  Family inside at the table next to us, all rocking maroon Virginia Tech jackets and/or hats?  Check.  Sorry I couldn’t snap a pic of the family – I really wanted to, but something tells me they wouldn’t have enjoyed that.

Virginia Tech - Another Maroon!

Why not step it up like this fellow Hokie?  Thanks Chris for continuing to send these in.

I found this in my local Safeway the other day, and I have to say, this does not look appetizing.

Hokie Wine!

Not much time goes by before I’m reminded of Virginia Tech’s love for maroon.  This time around we find a big college car magnet on the side of a gas sipping Toyota Prius.  Thanks Chris for continuing to seek out these cars with tacky magnets!

More Maroon.  Seriously.

More Maroon. Seriously.

I know that this is the Embarrassing World of Big College Car Magnets and this is an undersized Hokie magnet, but, 1) this is a fan submission, and 2) it supports the maroon on maroon theory. Thanks for the submission Chris.

Four magnets, count them, four.  The Hokie bird magnets are flowing in at a steady pace now, but there’s something on this truck I haven’t seen before.  A Hokie footprint.  Something tells me that the VA Tech bookstore was wiped clean of magnets after this person tore through the store.  Thanks for the submission Andrew!

Sorry, no more magnets left in the bookstore

And the grand prize goes to a loyal and dedicated reader and submitter.  Congratulations…you win…nothing!  Nothing but the sheer joy of exposing this phenomena to the rest of the world.  Ladies and gentlemen, I bring to you, the rare and elusive 1 foot hokie bird magnet…ON AN RV NO LESS!  I can’t even explain to you how perfect this is.  There are three, count them…three, VA Tech magnets.  The classic abbreviated “VT” magnet, a verbose and explicitly spelled out “Virginia Tech” magnet and finally the symbolic and awe-inspiring hokie bird.

I challenged you readers from the very beginning, and it didn’t take too long.  My feeling is that now that the first one has been found, there will be a flood of submissions with more 1 foot hokie bird magnets.  I hope it stays rare, but please, prove me wrong.  And for your viewing pleasure…
