Wow. I voted against the grain on all of those :/
Clark is usually dead on with this, but I think he has one of these represented wrong. Seed #6, I'm not sure this was in 2000, I'm pretty sure it was 2002 against WVU when Randall threw the INT with 20 seconds to go in the end zone when we were down 21-18 on the like 5 yard line on 2nd down. I remember this because I was sitting next to the WVU section and the hate for that evening is forever burned into my memory.
For this reason, the #6 entry needs to forever burn in the firery flames of hell for eternity...
Followed closely by the #5 seed, a 2009 VT-UNC Thursday night chokefest of an affair that I had the luxury of spending 2+ hours sitting in a damn bus in Blacksburg traffic before getting onto 460 to begin our trek home. Didn't get home until 4:30am that day... and I had to work the next morning.... fuuuuuuhuuuuuuck those jerseys as well
My story about that UNC game is that I was watching at my then-fiancee's apartment as she was in the process of moving. So, her couch was gone, and we were sitting on an air mattress that was slowly deflating and needed constant reinflating. Plus, her TV started to die that night, so the top corner of the picture was kind of twisted and started to turn green, and I believe the discoloration started working it's way down as the night progressed.
At least I got to throw the TV in the dumpster the next morning.
#6 was the 2000 game against UVA. No need for it to burn since we won! I remember that the UVA defense was trying to hurt Vick all game. They'd roll on his ankles after the play was over and all sorts of extra curricular garbage. I found a picture:
Ahh ok.... well, at the very least we wore them in 2002 as well (just found the pic)
We also wore the white version against Temple in 2003 in a waaaaaaay too close for comfort affair
Alright, so these can definitely burn now. Maybe my mother thought I was too young to stay up for the WVU game (my dad was likely at the game) and must have listened to the Temple game on the radio.
That 4/5 matchup is tough call. Good seeding there.
This should be a #5 vs #7 matchup easily
Semis for this round are open.
I like that the page now shows results right where you vote instead of a pop up.
i keep voting for losers :(

Now on Alternate & Throwback Region Finals.
Matchup is:
2015 Maroon-White-Orange(1) vs. 2011 White-White-White(2)
http://cruhland.com/unibracket.html
Next week is Specialty/One-Offs!
I really liked those maroon helmets...
Special & One Off's are up and what the hell is wrong with you people? That stupid Grey WVU jersey with VT logos was trash and the White Pro Combat was a beauty.
Haha nice Warthog. I haven't voted but I'm rooting for the Black Beamer Tribute FTW
EDIT Side note I just noticed that all of the first round winners were the unis that had the worst record
#TeamBlackProCombat
Nothing against the Beamer one but it was never intended to be a beamer tribute originally.
Lack of voter turnout ruined 1 v. 8. I am to blame.
Wow. That's a very surprising 8-over-1 upset. I genuinely thought that Bama uniforms were the most heinous overall uniform I've ever seen. It looked so cheap and disjointed.
EXACTLY. It was a WVU jersey nike recycled with a VT logo and colors.
Oh god can't un-see. However, I can't see the White Pro Combat jerseys without seeing Brad Kaaya.
Yep. The white pro combats were awesome.
I will never know how anyone could vote for the one orange sleeve jersey over anything. God that was awful looking.
welp. I just voted for it. Over the grey one. HOW IN THE SAM (rogers) HELL DID THE WHITE PRO-COMBAT NOT WIN?!?!?!??
67 PEOPLE ARE FOOLS
Literally the worst jersey we have ever worn. I seriously liked the foghorn helmet better. No sarcastica.
The white pro combats were asymmetrical garbage that Nike used to test out their "fade" effect on the numbers and helmet stripes.
well that's pretty harsh
I think a simple "I didn't like them" would suffice
Full disclosure I don't hate those uniforms. I am not a fan of the asymmetrical helmet stripes but other than that they are fine. I just copied the rhetoric of another post out of curiosity to see what the response would be.
I call Shenanigans!, first round should have been straight chalk.
Sorry guys, I forgot to update the thread. I'll take responsibility for the low voter turnout.
HOW IS ORANGE SLEEVE BEATING BLACK PRO COMBAT?!?!?!?!
Because it was better
They were both mediocre.
Specialty Region Final in progress!
