Kill Bill huh.
Well Bud is about to apply the Five-Point-Palm Exploding-Heart-Technique:
"Quite simply, the deadliest blow in all of martial arts. He hits you with his fingertips at 5 different pressure points on your body, and then lets you walk away. But once you've taken five steps your heart explodes inside your body and you fall to the floor, dead."
I was just thinking add the Kill Bill Vol. 2 cover with the Hokie Bird having the sword to the Buckeye's throat.
Dark. Couldn't they sword just be chopping a papa john's pizza in advance of Urb's postgame meal? Funny and subtle.
or we could somehow photoshop Beamers head on top and then have brutus's head by the sword????
Very cool. Now somebody needs to post it on 11W.
That's good work!
Really? That's the best they got? I hope this is the kind of effort the team puts in on Monday night.
Well it's ALMOST Orange Effect.
How random, kill Bill? But can Brutus handle the bear this year?
Heard somewhere he prefers twinks
Could add a bear head and say " Kill bear" as in the defense, if you are an Ohio State...
I'm underwhelmed, some of them are really great.
well, if they're trying to play on a revenge movie, I guess this fits the...bill?
Didn't think about that. It all makes sense now.
Yeah that guy tends I go for subtle and artsy. I think they're cool and all, but not terribly exciting
Meh.
Now if they were playing William and Mary, the Kill Bill theme would at least score some cuteness points.
Think they were going for the revenge factor of Kill Bill here
As a student of all things karma, the Buckeyes better be careful with playing up the revenge factor here.
They're liable to win the game, and then finish 6-6, while the Hokies cruise to the playoffs after dusting everybody else on the schedule.
(SO, SO wish this would happen.)
Hokies!
Media: MS Paint
That really backfired on them
I can see it now:
"DID YOU SEE WHAT THEY DID TO OUR POSTER? DESTROY THEM BY 70!"
No, no, no. They were already supposed to win by 70. Now it needs to be by at least 30 scores.
I think we'll all be ok lol.
seriously... post it and watch all the down-votes come flying in.
I think its funny we as a VT Fan-base are getting under some of their skins!! The language over there has been ticked up a notch..
now just replace the ball with a big ole buckeye and this would perfect
And that'll do it, folks.
f**king love it! you "slayed" them alright...
On a side note: they REALLY want to chop VTs head off. First the stump and ax motif , now Kill Bill. anOSU has some issues.
someone more photo-shop savy than I:
I'd like to see the virginia seal redone with the hokie bird posing over brutus and replace the crown with the CFP trophy
Since The Bride's costume in Kill Bill v.1 is an homage to Bruce Lee in Game of Death, the obvious response is that Virginia Tech is Bruce Lee
and Brutus can be Kareem
There is a really cool .gif of Lee kicking over Brutus
Nice.
Played to the tune of Billy Idol's revised song "Buckeyes without a Face" and "I'm all out of hope One more bad dream could bring a fall When I'm far from home (Lane)... When you hear the music (Sandman) you make a dip
Into someone else's pocket then make a slip..."
Gotta admit, my first thought is that they're prepared to commit hari-kari if they don't win.
So, I took their Quentin Tarantino theme and ran with it. What do y'all think?
ehh guns might be a sore subject for a couple months
That is a great point that I didn't even think of. I can take it down/switch it to a like if y'all think that is appropriate.
Really your call. People are so divisive on some subjects, that if you poll people you'll get 100 varied answers with different levels of intensities
I think it is a good. You could change the gun to a finger and be funny.
Or a turkey leg
Yeah, the gun may be too graphic right now, but what is their intention with a sword? Swords are made to kill people, right?
It's a reference to Kill Bill. Just a connection with a well-known revenge story/pop culture. Funny how anyone that suggests it's insensitive on 11w gets downvoted into oblivion. Here, we have people willing to consider the implications of imagery. What an interesting difference.
Yeah I noticed that too. They're also treating this poster like the second coming of Christ when I really think its decent at best. A bit of a let down at most considering he had all offseason to work on it.
Decent?
Meh.
Nah, I saw the movies and got the reference. Just talking about the gun thing and how it may compare to the sword thing. It was an awkward post. I think their poster is pretty lame, myself. I did like the movies, though.
In one of those posters someone needs to change the blacksburg to SACKSburg.....I like them though.
however, the poster is pretty underwhelming despite the revenge motif.
Maybe they saw this one as a difficult one to trump as we did last year. That was classic and backfired on them hard.
Looks like its a multi use poster...
Why did they omit brutus' face?
34-21 bro
* EDIT: FACEPALM!!!!
*coughcough*35-21*coughcough*
I know you went to the fan fest before the game and all but did you really drink that much?
I mean give him a little credit... The game was all but over when it was 34-21
Brutus is in witness protection after last year's game.
Didn't they chop his head off in last year's poster?
Wait a minute, I think that was the VT remix that did that, after the game...
it's just a thing they do with these posters. Less cartoonish?
archive of all of them
Eleven Warriors has crashed...(10pm 9/2/2015)
(web developer has a sense of humor)
Seems to happen a lot. Some positive news for the anOSU faithful? Site crashes. Bad news? Site crashes. It's Wednesday? Site crashes.
They were just celebrating their new server, too (number 11)!
I've noticed it crashes and loads slow ALL THE TIME. Thanks Joe for keeping us up and running,
Yup. Crashed again. Having real problems with the brand new server 11W got to handle the increased traffic they are anticipating this year.
Looks like the Cardale news did it.
So, I guess Bud is going to utilize the Five-Linemen Exploding QB technique, then?
Going through their archive its unique from the last year. Last years VT poster is pretty good.
I'm a poster collector. I love art and design. I may have found a niche guys. Give me a couple weeks.
You're right. This is average for Walt Keys' work. About 1/3 are average (for him - says Mr. stick figure drawer), 1/3 are unique & 1/3 he just knocks it out of the park. Example - Penn State desperately wants to be considered our rival (we only consider Michigan our rival). Check out the 2013 poster in the archives.
P.S. Serious question - do you guys have someone doing game day posters? If so, I'd like to check them out, if someone would be kind enough to point the way. If not, maybe Kicaboojooce will start!
Not aware of any game day posters, per se, but Charlotte Hokie has done some beautiful work.

Thanks, man. That's some good work.
This really blew up. Good work, guys.
I mean swords are cool..... Cannons are better
I regret that I have but one leg to give.
Did someone forget to tell OSU that our only Bill doesn't actually play here anymore?
Drafted Sammy Watkins. Really liked what I saw out of Taylor in the preseason.
I hope he likes snow and cold (-25) weather...better get used to those sleeves.
I just opened my account at 11W. Some thoughtful comments over there.
Couldn't help but notice the weak sauce in the background.
anOSU...
