# | C.J. Carroll Awaits His Opportunity While the Hokies Continue to Push Tempo Up Front 
Whit and his team have helped tremendously already this season. We're currently filming a video with Coach Fuente right now actually to promote the new shirts and SGA. Be on the look out soon for those!
1: This comes as no surprise to me
2: This sounds freakin' awesome!!
3: I love that Whit is trying to engage the students more...I wish I had that when I was a student
4: I love that Fuente is all about jumping in and involving the fans any way he can. I get the sense that a lot of the Mic'd up vidoes and snapchats of practice reps and things of that nature are ideas that come from the Athletic department, not Fuente, but Fuente likes the ideas and rolls with them.

# | C.J. Carroll Awaits His Opportunity While the Hokies Continue to Push Tempo Up Front Fuck yeah, we need to have the tightest community in regards to all Alumni. Thats how recruiting can trickle down, when everyone's bragging about how strong the Hokie Family is. Dummervil deserved it!
Sure, so that amounts to one year when it wouldn't normally have been long sleeve in the last decade. I guess perception is everything. For someone like me who has purchased the shirts every year since 2003 (I have almost all of them, and my sister does have all of them), it doesn't seem like a big deal.
Give it the Bill Belichick treatment.
I've only been back to Lane the last couple of years, but both of those have been long sleeve maroons. That makes three years running.
As someone who only wears long sleeve shirts at church
Well then you can wear the maroon effect shirt every week. I don't see the problem.

# | Actually sensible NCAA Reform, Schools now pay for parents on Official Visits At the same time its not like these kids are blind to where they are ranked by the various sites, they absolutely know who is the 5 star, who is the 4, who is the 3 etc. Yes its about making every target feel desired, but schools have to prioritize too with their limited number of scholarships, and sometimes that burns both parties.

# | Actually sensible NCAA Reform, Schools now pay for parents on Official Visits Nothing says "building a team" quite like "we're going to give this other guy a whole ton of perks that are better than yours, but we want you, too!"
Basically because of Harry Potter.
Unlike a lot of child actors that young boys have a crush on and are in a movie or two and then disappear or lose popularity as they get older. Emma was in a very successful movie franchise that kept her in the spotlight for a decade. She grew up with them and also went from the awkward nerdy girl, got really attractive while developing a girl next door appeal, and being an interesting person.
At the same time almost every young person watches Harry Potter and will for a while which will continue adding fans to her on the interwebs probably for another 10 years when she reaches middle age and become unrelatable for young teenagers.

# | Actually sensible NCAA Reform, Schools now pay for parents on Official Visits I really don't think there is. They aren't even students at the University yet. I know there are guidelines about what a school can and cannot do on an official visit (no simulating a game environment, etc.) but I don't think there's anything that says all recruits must be treated equally on campus. I mean, why would this be the one area in recruiting where the NCAA says you can't play favorites in the recruiting process.
Fuente: "The MOST important thing is practice."
Settle down, Bill
Very sorry to hear this. And believe it or not, she was pretty good at weather, too.

# | Actually sensible NCAA Reform, Schools now pay for parents on Official Visits I'm assuming there is a parity rule just like there is a parity rule for actual students and athletes when it comes to dorms.

We hold a contest in late January for the student-body to submit slogans for the shirts. Once those are selected, tweaked, and approved through Athletics and Licensing we move into the student-body design contest in late February to submit designs for the shirts. Most of the designs we get are actually sketches that we work can work with and digitalize ourselves - all we're looking for is the 'idea'. After the contest is over, we pick our favorites and edit them before working with Athletics, Licensing, and the t-shirt manufacturer to make the designs perfect and meet the NCAA and Virginia Tech licensing regulations.

It is usually a student contest I think.
They used to alternate but I guess they have changed that the past couple of years. I disagree that sales would improve by making both short sleeve. The majority of sales come from the combo so sales probably wouldn't see noticeable improvement.
Do y'all have a committee do these or a student artist? They are great.
HE said pork belly.
Thanks for the positive feedback. Here's a closer look at the designs!
I like your username...simple, yet effective.
