Two great comments from TTL last night

1. Beamer says (AGAIN) no more orange unis --- EVER
2. Sam Rogers says the team isn't going to let Duke beat us twice.

Based on 2. above and LT's comments, they really are using Saturday as motivation as opposed to folding up the tents for the season. We'll see this weekend. Chestnut Hill at noon on a Saturday has certainly required a lot of motivation in the past. GO HOKIES.

I would hate to be the first person to run into Sam Rogers on Saturday. He's going to snap whoever it is in half.

I'll believe it when I see it. I don't doubt Rogers motivation, but really? Our running game was inept, and forcing plays into coverage. I don't care what motivation you find, you have to play better

Well look at you go, Negative Nancy.

They've shown flashes all year and for the most part are having a pretty solid season. Have some faith they'll get things turned around a bit against BC.

I have faith. Just not in this particular manner

Sam Rogers does not make idle threats. And threats, in the presence of Sam Rogers, become idle.

Haha yeah no kidding. I remember DeAngelo Hall's guarantee of not losing another game in 2003.

I just wanna see that effort like Rogers promises and better execution. Maybe some smarter plays from LT too. He showed glimpses when throwing the ball down at the feet of covered receivers when he was being hit.

Sam Rogers does not own a stove, oven, or microwave , because revenge is a dish best served cold.

I am seriously the only person who likes the orange uniforms!

Yep. They reminded me too much of LOLUVA and MIAMI to like them. I don't think I would mind Orange Jerseys with lots of maroon incorporated into them along with maroon lids and pants. But Orange on Orange is no bueno

Onward and upward

You must like losing.

I am OK with orange jerseys and white pants (as long as it's coupled with a maroon helmet), but the all-orange look doesn't suit us. There are other teams that have been doing it far longer and more regularly (Clemson, Miami, and Syracuse to name a few) and even UVA has been doing it pretty frequently this season. With all-orange, we lose who we are. Maroon as the dominant color is more indicative of VT, as few other schools use anything similar.

"Exit light..."

I guess I might if that was our only color, like a Tenn, or Texas, or Syr.

BUT.....we have two colors, and IMHO, it is hard to beat the strength and awe that is projected in maroon based uniforms.

Maroon>>>>>Orange. Honestly, 98% Maroon with orange piping is just too strong to ignore.

When I wear maroon, I want to lift weights, dig trenches, shout at the moon, jump on a tidal wave and punch rocky outcroppings.
When I wear orange......well, I don't wear orange.

Can't upvote this because I'm just a neophyte, but this is exactly how I feel about wearing maroon. I will henceforth dream of Hokiebird surfing atop a tidal wave crushing rock outcroppings on Gameday Eve.

I want to know when they will commit to never playing at FedEx Field again?

We're you watching a game or getting ready to jump out of a cargo plane?

I'd take an airborne jump any day over those seats.

Is Chuck Norris Sam Rogers' father?!?

He's Still Open!!!

Chuck Noris wishes he was Sam Roger's father.

This is going to be great for the ACC.

Chuck Norris was too afraid.
