Hi everyone, phone posting so I'll keep it short, but you can check out all the photos from the game here: http://photos.thekeyplay.com/Virginia-Tech-Football-2014/2014-VT-vs-Virg...
By far the most fun I've had shooting a football game in Lane. Y'all were rowdy last night.

Great work, Mark. As I mentioned on Twitter, I will definitely pay good money for prints of a few of these. My favorite:
Me too. One photo has me in the background as I was blacked out drunk flicking off UVA. Love to have a high res of that one.
By the way, I have no recollection of being at the game. I'm glad it was captured for posterity. Lol.
My fav:
Ref reliving his glory days.... Yellow Flag!!
But Willie just wants to be friends!
Some great shots! loved the punt block by Reavis but my fav is Wang bringing the commonwealth cup to the student section!
This must go green.
This must go viral.
I hope you don't mind me making this my new Facebook default
It is mumansky's image. I just pasted in the Cav Man. If mumansky is ok with it, then I don't mind if you use it however you see fit. I, myself, reserve no rights.
I created a cutout image of the Cav Man that I can make available to anyone who wants it to paste into any image.
That pic of the Cav Man falling off his horse just keeps on giving and I can't stop laughing every time I see it. It should be everywhere.
I just busted out laughing at home.
OMG TELLER IS COMING FOR MY SOUL
A bunch of folks have asked how they could buy a print of X, Y or Z. I got that figured out in SmugMug now.
I created a new gallery with photos for sale. Photos can only be bought from this gallery. Only one photo is in there right now, Mark's awesome pregame shot of Skipper firing, but if you want to buy a different one, post a link and I'll place it in the gallery.

Thanks Joe! The Skipper shot is great; can you put up http://photos.thekeyplay.com/Virginia-Tech-Football-2014/2014-VT-vs-Virg... as well?
Also, will the TKP logo be on the actual prints? Or is that just for online purposes?
Done. And no, the watermark should not show up on the printed photos. Before you pay for it, Smugmug should confirm that. Let me know if it doesn't.
Awesome, thanks Joe!
Just FYI, I've gotten all the way to the last step and nothing indicates the watermark is to be removed; it's showing even after they apply their auto-crop for best fit. I haven't actually placed the order, but I've gone all the way through the process until that point.

Can this one be made available? Thanks!
Done and done.

Can I get this one added to the gallery? Also, has the watermark issue been fixed or no?
Good timing, as I was coming back to post this - I just got my prints last week and they look great. I will confirm that the prints have no watermarks, there was just no confirmation of that fact that I saw from SmugMug during the ordering process. Quality is very nice (I got the "luster" finish on mine and they are great) and delivery was pretty quick for me (3 days or so once they got shipped out).
VT pictures make great holiday gifts! (No, I'm not compensated to say that, but I can say that being in a Hokie family, this is true.)
I may or may not be getting one to have it signed by a certain player and given as a gift. Thanks for the watermark confirmation, that was really my only concern.
Aw thanks man, you didn't have to but that Sam Rogers picture is gonna look great in my family room.
Hmm... this is a bit awkward... or awesome. Not gonna lie, if I found out my girlfriend was secretly vtfly, I'd probably just go get a ring now.
... You mean you guys don't talk about your TKP personas in real life?
I just don't feel like we're at that stage in our relationship.
I'd probably have some explaining to do to my wife, but if it gets me some signed Sam Rogers swag I'm game.
Awesome pics as always. This is the best Wang pic I've ever seen on the internet:
We can only hope.
I snapchatted this to my wife and asked if she enjoyed her wang pic. Isn't that what Snapchat is for?
Would you say it's the biggest Wa-
You know what, never mind.
maroon helmet/jerz with the solid white pants/leggings/socks looks SO clean.

It was a catch...
11 FULLY DIPPED COLEMANS
I can't stop laughing at this
I count 12, plus the original. That's ok, getting ready for next year.
Haha nice. Looks like you pulled a LOLUVA photoshop on the bottom left. Some random white guy face in the stands.
God bless the "Fill Content Aware" button.
Someone really should send this picture to JC on twitter.
Ok, I've been meaning to ask somebody. What was up with the gray/frosted/goofy looking uVA helmets?
special carbon fiber helmet that they wear occasionally.
i actually don't think it was the worst look in the world.
Not the worst, but from the stands it looked like they were "frosted". Darker blue on the top fading to white(r) at the base. Then on tv you could see these lines on them. Made no sense.
"Carbon fiber"
This is what Bucky felt like when he scored!!
