Anything we can do to prevent THIS from happening again?

Too bad they aren't going to steal the "W" this weekend

I have the feeling if it is not that T they will find another one. Bolt it down and bend the bolt stems, really damn hard to remove them afterwards. Also a screwed and glued job is difficult to separate.

Plan for the worst and hope for the best, not the other way around.

Maybe they stole the T for Mike London...he could always use an extra T.

We painted a T on UVA's field before a game. They're all giddy that they stole a T off a sign outside of the stadium. #reasonswe'rethebettertech

Who cares? It's a prank they are known for and one that was reconciled.

Yeah, I seem to remember reading that they do this for every game and always return whatever they take. It doesn't bother me, it's things like this that make college sports what they are. No harm, no foul.

Agreed...I'll take the W over that T every season

Set a watch. That's all you can do.
We'd need someone to ID all the possible T's they could take and set watch responsibilities.

When I was in school normally it would be frats that would assign a representative to work with other orgs and frats to ID what needed to be watched and coordinate with campus security to let them know somebody would be at spots all night before football and bball games so campus security didn't get alarmed at guys hanging out all night. They would overlook beverages as long as it wasn't rubbed in their face (actually put coke in the rum and coke and use a coke bottle, etc).
Of course we have guys at VT that are actually trained on how to stand a watch.

This is going to be great for the ACC.

As said above, if it is so offensive, you'd think there would be student groups (frats or VTCC) that would stand watch for a couple of nights prior to the game. That solves the problem. No gimmicky installation methods are necessary, just common sense prevention - stand watch to stop it.

The simplest solution would be to change the name of the school to something with no 'T's in it and change every sign on campus accordingly.

Not the bagman VT deserves, but the bagman VT needs right now.

I thought that's how West Virginia always pronounced the school's full name?

Take the shortest route to the ball and arrive in bad humor.

LOL!

At least it's better than this one time, in Atlanta...

However that was a pretty sweet win

its not a funny joke. its desecration of university property. when will GT learn to behave and stop damaging school's property?

It's a pretty harmless prank, imo. I think I've read that they always return it, too.

If we did it to them, how many on here would crow about the ingenuity of it?

If GT stealing our T gives us the W - then hand wrap it for them every year. Honestly though, I'd show every player in the locker room the picture, and then ask if them they're going to let GT get away with it.

harmless prank. big deal.
Take a "T"...we'll make more.

Make a fake one for the next time they visit...and make sure the legit one is up on game day.

Or just electrify the real T. We'll see how good of engineers they are.

"Exit light..."

Great prank...let it roll. Deal is they will give it back in good fun. Next year down there steal the Ramblin' Wreck drink a lot and crash it into a Jersey wall! Don't they have a goat or something? Barbecue it!

Since it's something they do repeatedly and no one at the schools seems to be able to set a watch on the more prominent of these, in 2 years, TKP will need to organise a watch and prevent the theft.

This is going to be great for the ACC.

Embarassing.
