Wow, I think I actually prefer the one from Coach Fondue.

Definitely has S.W.A.G.

I can imagine no more rewarding a career. And any man who may be asked in this century what he did to make his life worthwhile, I think can respond with a good deal of pride and satisfaction:
β€œI served in the United States Navy"

If you can read the offer letter without throwing up, you've passed the "reading mixed fonts" test.

I guess Al failed. He signed "Hey olde" instead of his name.

"Exit light..."

Lmao

What's Important Now
The Lunchpail.
The Hammer.

I see Dey Olde!

THAT SMOKE

@VTimHokie85

Haha that's first thing I noticed. That smoke lol

That letter is cheesier than Mickey AND Minnie's cupboards.

Leonard. Duh.

4 fingers?

Onward and upward

On each hand? The amount of scotch they drink before bed?

I wondered that, too.

The number that it takes to signal their typical rank in the ACC Coastal.

"Exit light..."

that's generous

Onward and upward

Number of fans at a UVa Spring Game

The 4 guys selling concessions don't count as "fans."

"Exit light..."

I think it has something to do with Mickey Mouse.

All of a sudden, I found myself in love with the world
So there was only one thing that I could do
Was ding a ding, dang my dang a long ling long....

NUmber of different times they are bak each season?

That's how many they typically give Heather Denich

are giraffes measured the same way as horses?

Onward and upward

Wasn't referring to measuring...more about whatever prompts her orgasmic feelings toward scUM.

I know exactly what you were referring to..I was trying to tone it down and turn it into something more pg

Onward and upward

Wait, wait, I got it. And this is legit.

Number of losses to LOLUVA this decade.

No, I *don't* want to go to the SEC. Why do you ask?

We don't love dem Hoos.

The real answer to 4 fingers: that's the number of fingers you hold up when starting the 4th quarter. It is suppose to signal that you play hard, all 4 quarters, no matter the score. Virtually every team does this.

Personally, the other answers are better interpretations, but I'm pretty sure the 4th quarter is the accurate interpretation.

Here is Jameis doing the 4-finger thing (I tried to find a Hokie image, but I couldn't. Does anyone know if VT does this?):

I saw it a lot during the 10-win era; there was always confidence back then that we were going to close the game out or find a way to come back.

Back in the late 90's early 00's they did it. We never had the 5 star guys, but would outwork everyone. We had gas in the tank in the 4th quarter and just pwned other teams. It was a little before the lunch pail started, and embodied the same thought process and just out working the opponent.

We did during the OSU game last year. If you watch the highlight/recap that was on hokiesports.com one of the coaches is talking to his players and stopa to do it. I'll find the link and post when I get on my computer cause, well, its always worth posting.

$607,000,000 in facility upgrades but no stadium...

"I'm too drunk to taste this chicken" - Colonel Sanders via Ricky Bobby

Why would they build a stadium? Nobody goes to their games.

Takes a lot of money to buy tarps and install them in a rented stadium to make a "capacity" crowd.

We put the K in Kwality

It also doesn't mention that facility upgrades doesn't specifically refer to athletics...

...or their facilities...

I'm disappointed that there are no Kellen Winslow Jr. quotes. Huge missed opportunity, imo.

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

"What are you going to do, stab me? - Quote from Man Stabbed

To be fair, we sent out offer letters that were in Comic Sans.

COMIC SANS

Every second counts

I think I prefer that to "ransom note".

But there's no beef.

Where are the details of what the offer really is?
I know it says scholarship but, where's the meat of the agreement?

This is going to be great for the ACC.

Isn't it obvious? Every single kid gets a $250,000 education and $607 million worth of facility upgrades. Not sure what each person would do with that or where they get the money (I mean, Miami boosters can't be dishing out that much cash anymore), but hey, if it gets kids there...

Interesting (but not surprising) that they consider hookers and blow to be "facilities."

"Exit light..."

Hey now, let's not talk bad about hookers and blow.

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

I feel like the picture in the lower corner should be of the Miami player laying near the ball in the end zone of Lane Stadium (circa 2003).

I think vtguitarman already created the perfect image for it (I am not good at photoshop).

"Exit light..."

I love the guy in the background pointing.

Because that is totally what the entire stadium was doing that night.

That's just horrible. I mean did they give it to a freshman computer graphics major to design or something?? Plus all that crap in different fonts doesn't really help when you can't back any of it up on the field.....I guess maybe "the smoke".....

We're talking about the same team that put up flyers in dorms asking for offensive linemen. Are we surprised by anything they do?

Freshman computer graphics majors all over the country are giving you the evil stare down right now.

Just back up slowly... no sudden movements.

Leonard. Duh.

A little too much "smoke" was involved in the creation of this letter. "Dude this looks totally sweet...."

No mention of them being "back?"

Must be a fake.

If you play it, they will win.

jaja...tal vez un dia con mi esposa - su padre era Colombiano, y ella habla perfectamente.
Mi?... Completamente gringo, pero me gustar tratar! Muchos Cubanos aqui...y tengo dos amigos en mi trabajo desde Peru.
La gente aqui que no pude hablar ingles y espanol es en desventaja.

Perdoname no contestarte antes, fue una semana bien occupada. Mi esposa y yo somos muy gringos, pero mi trabajo me requiere vivir en latinoamerica y por eso, aprendimos Castellano en Costa Rica hace 6 anos. Nos gusta vivir aca en Peru, pero a veces quisieramos estar en Virginia. No hablo lo mejor, pero tengo muchas opportunidades diariamente para platicar con Peruanos y es un gusto aprender mas de la cultura y idioma de Peru porque cada pais tiene su version diferente de Castellano.

OK, no more confusing the locals. Go Hokies! Beat Brutus!

I really do love how they just make it so easy to counter this. 5 National Championships is the most front and center thing they have... The last one was what, 15 years ago? A lot of these kids weren't even born yet. But hey, you wanna keep living in the past we'll keep reminding them you aren't relevant in the present. 0 division titles on 10 years in the 'weak' ACC.... So much SWAG.

I may be an old fart but this looks like a ransom note pasted together by someone with a severe case of ADHD

this reminds of those crazy shirts they sell in china that have nonsensical english on them, not because they mean anything, but because there's english on them...exhibit A:

Because it's cheaper if it's nonsense?

Is this how FernleyHokie makes his money?

Haven't heard if chinglish.com, but I've been going to engrish.com for years. It may be more Japanese-centric, but you can definitely submit "engrish from other countries."

I guess that's them getting back at English speakers that like to put Chinese characters on things (like bodies) because they look cool.

Miami.

Where the offer letter looks like a ransom note.

Pretty pitiful, but $607million in facility upgrades? They could rebuilt the whole university and a stadium with that.

I work for a construction management firm and we do our fair share of higher education work. $607M is indeed a butt ton of facilities improvements. Spread over 20 years it would still be a sizeable undertaking. Must be that smoke they reference.

"What's that? Tear down the Orange Bowl? Yeah, we can do that. What's it worth to ya? Oh, you lost to UVA there, okay. Our bid is $607k...yeah, sure, you're right, that's six zeros..."
