Umm, so this is a thing I guess

Virginia Tech is making their own line of perfume and cologne.

Masik Collegiate Fragrances, which is reportedly an actual thing, has set up camp inside the Blacksburg bookstore and is testing different perfumes on the kids. This sounds like a historically terrible idea, but Masik is getting a lot of support. On Friday, students still on campus tested a bunch of different scents, three of which will be chosen for each gender.

I'm sure this won't lead to thousands of horrible jokes by uva fans about smelling like cows.

Smells like Wahoo tears, aged in oak barrels for 8.5 years. #decadeofdominance

It was a catch

If they'd just get the message that women should smell like freshly cut grass or freshly cut lumber the world would be a better place.

So call me a redneck. What.

Could lead to some interesting conditioned responses by my body while doing yard work.

Here's to hoping they have a fragrance titled "Big Al's at 1:45 AM"

Maybe LadyHorseOnATreadmill. MareOnATreadmill. FillyOnATreadmill. As long as it doesn't actually smell like a horse on a treadmill i think it could work

Speaking from a womans perspective....I would NEVER buy a perfume with a horse on a treadmill on the bottle. LOL This idea (perfume in general) seems silly to me. Don't think I would purchase it. Even if it does have a VT on it.

I would so be the guy to buy my wife perfume with a horse on a treadmill. For Valentine two years ago, I got her a card with Danny Cole on it from the sugar bowl saying. "You're a real catch!!!" Thanks Key Play for totally enhancing my marriage!!!

sad horse

Know how guys make up stories at the bar to impress women? "I'm a lion tamer," or, "I'm a fighter pilot"? Well, I'm 5'2", so I like trying to pull the, "I was training to be a jockey when I was younger, just north of Leesburg in Virginia". I usually get found out before too long, but it generates lots of laughs.

I can't handle many more of these sad horse pics....its already a rainy, gloomy Tuesday at the office. haha :)

LadyHorseOnaTreadmill reminds me of this gem twitter account I came across a while ago. It's straight gold comedy https://twitter.com/MrsHorseLady

Get me to smell like a rail and/or pokie stix and I'm sold.

I guess it's fine as long as there is not a bottle labeled "Weaver's BS."

I support Logan Thomas and make no apologies for it.

How I envision advertising for these things going:

"Look at your man. Now look at me, now back to your man, now back to me! Sadly, your man is not like me, but he could be if he was wearing the new VT fragrance. Ladies, it'll get after ya."

Then AMB4VT pops up and says, "Ladies, this is out of whack"

Hey now Horseonatreadmill I do have a name (April) haha But seriously. I would wear it if it promised to attract some nice Hokie men. :)

Hey I bet Britney Spears would wear it, if it promised to keep one around.

So, your hair finally grew back from that last bad break up, and your ready to catch that next great guy. You know great guys wear orange and maroon. new HorseonTreadmill. A product of Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University.

This is beginning to sound like a class project in a marketing course....

Dan Patrick is going to do a spot on this on his show coming up, probably before 11:00 (Thurs).

I was watching the Fab Five documentary last night and there is was a Michigan fragrance shown on it too. I think it was a cologne, because one of them (Jawan Howard, I think) suggested he should try it.

DP said that Notre Dame was doing a fragrance.....His best line was "Do you want to smell like a Ho.......kie?" (conjures up memories of Eddie Murphy on SNL doing his Velvet Jones commmercial). Other than that, it was general chat about how colleges are branding themselves with perfume. Kind of a funny segment, if you want to look it up on their website, they have audio podcasts...www.danpatrick.com
