ALL MAROON EVERYTHING Confirmed for Tonight

Celebrating Maroon Effect, the Hokies will break out AME under the lights against Miami. This is a fan favorite, and let's hope the result is more like 2003 and less like 2014.

Well... I couldn't post the Lenny face for some reason, so instead I will just say touche.

edit: also couldn't add the accent to the e on touche.

touché?

"Exit light..."

Yeah that was in my comment box and when I clicked post it just said "touch"

You need to manually write the HTML to get special characters. You can't copy-paste an accented character, etc. You need an [ampersand]eacute; to get é.

"Exit light..."

ahhhh, that makes sense, I was just doing the keyboard shortcuts to get the special characters.

Do you have auto correct sexy version installed this morning?

whoa now

Nice.

AME is the most sexy option VT has. The occasion black jerseys are still my favorites, but the AME is the best "normal" jersey the Hokies have, imo.

Exit light. Enter night. Enter the Hokies.

My favorite looks of all time are AME in pretty much any uniform style, 2004-2007 all white with maroon helmets, and this is probably a less popular one, but I really, really like the maroon pants and white jersey look for away games also.

I liked the 2003 set. Maybe don't use the all maroon as much as they did to make it more special, but nonetheless those were my favorite.

We really should have fun with the AME unis every year. Gimme a sublimated HokieStone pattern from the Bristol game on the maroon base or something like that.

I know that historically, we play bad in AME....

Leg for the badass gifs (especially skipper) but idk if I'd go as far to say we've played poorly in them historically. Lately...maybe so, but historically I think we've done fine in them. '03 Miami, aTm; '06 Clemson, UVA; '07 FSU; '08 Maryland, UVA; '09 Miami

VT '10 #AllMaroonEverything

Clemson '06 was the tits

Yeah I was more thinking 2014 Miami and 2015 Duke....

Those 2 just left a horrible taste in my mouth - time to break the bad juju

The Rutgers uniforms were sweet, but we wore white pants with that set. Maroon pants would have really capped the look off.

Got them pre-game jitters already. It's gonna be a long work day.

I took today off so I could drive down from Albany last night. I forgot how accursed 81 is, every 20 miles there was a lane closure for bridge work, but apparently it's just night work as it's apparently clear this morning (just talked to my dad who is driving in from the 757).

When are we going to get maroon cleats? Or maybe pair that with some Orange cleats.

Black cleats is regarded as a tradition that goes back a loooooooong time for VT football. I don't think we're going to see that change anytime soon

But it would look sweet on that graphic up there.

I don't think that story gets told often enough. Poor ol Lester had a cow. Fancy Gap Frank was cool as a cucumber.

Excerpts:

The year was 1990, the team's record was 5-5, and a win over bitter rival Virginia would produce a winning season, a source of warmth for the coming winter's cold......So the Hokies were going all out for this one. They convinced their coach to let them wear all-maroon uniforms. Then they took matters into their own hands, as the seniors, an outfit led by the likes of Archie Hopkins, Nick Cullen, Al Chamblee and Jimmy Whitten, hatched a shrewdly devised scheme to wear coveted black cleats.........The Hokies went out for early pregame warm-ups for the Virginia game and came back to the locker room before heading out one final time. They shed their white pants in favor of the maroon ones – a surprise to fans, who hadn't seen all-maroon outfits since 1984. Then a multitude of players disappeared. The locker room, save for a few, was eerily quiet.

One of Karlin's minions came up to him and told him he needed to go outside.

"You need to see this," he said. "They're out there spray painting their shoes."

Karlin marched outside and what he saw left him with a single reaction.

"I was pretty well pissed," he said. "They got black spray paint all over the benches and on their socks and shoes."

After seeing the mess, Karlin knew nothing could be done. So he sought out Beamer to deliver the news.

He found Beamer in his office, firming up some latest minute details to the game plan. Beamer's reaction wasn't quite what Karlin expected.

"Lester was getting all crazy on me," Beamer said, with a laugh. "I remember telling him something like, 'If it helps us win, let 'em go.'"

Story time?

Every second counts

Agree. I'd like to hear this one...

Never heard this on.....go on....

Now finish up them taters; I'm gonna go fondle my sweaters.

Me, too. I'd love to see our cleats actually go with our color scheme. We've wore versions of maroon and orange cleats before.

We put the K in Kwality

Damn, I was hoping for Half Orange Something!

No.

I mean, if we can get away with wearing only orange helmets with maroon uniforms for our Orange Effect, surely maroon helmets with orange jerseys would suffice for Maroon Effect

U would.

Fire Whit.

was looking through the old Hokie Update posts on the Tailgate Fever page (via archives) to try to find one of the diatribes against orange. Didn't find it, but man was that a fun trip down memory lane.

Yeah!!

There was a song about this by Britney Spears:

Love me, hate me
Say what you want about me
But all of the boys and all of the girls
Are begging to if you seek AME

I want to believe so badly that they will come out in the 2003 style ALL MAROOON EVERYTHING!!

Yeah but see if they do that, they turn Maroon Effect into a White Out in the stands

yep, you're screwed. Maybe suggest they change rooms to something with a glass wall and a nice view of the field?

Haha well it's at ODU. I could totally put the game on my computer and sit in the back row, but then that defeats the purpose of, y'know, going to grad school. I think Im gonna have to settle with keeping the score tracker on so I can actually pay attention to Global Macro Economics
