OK so I'm a massive dork (and I'm actively avoiding studying for the MCAT) and looked at all of the schedules since 2008...from 2008-2015, we never played three away games in a row. I don't think the ACC would do that to us because it's a little mean to our players to travel three weekends in a row (and to deprive the Blacksburg community of football for one month if you included the bye week). Given this, he's my best guess for the schedule:

9/3: Liberty
9/10: Tennessee (at Bristol)
9/17: Boston College
9/24: ECU
10/1: @ Duke
10/8: @ Syracuse
10/15: Georgia Tech
10/22: BYE
10/27: @ UNC (Thursday Night)
11/3: Miami (Thursday Night)
11/12: @ Pittsburgh
11/19: @ Notre Dame
11/26: Virginia

i like the one we've been using for the last decade or so. the new one looks a bit like a non italicized version of the ACC logo font to me (and that's not a compliment). I guess at the end of the day, as long as we are consistent and build the brand around it, it will be fine.

i also see the VT logo on the gray background appears unchanged, so all that angst over the leaked Niki presentation may have been for naught. glad they didn't mess with it.

His point, while perhaps a bit caustic, is that neither NCAA or VT has any authority over a casual fan and what they can or cannot say on another incorporated entity's IP in the public domain. Only on boosters, coaches, athletes or anyone else voluntarily signed to a legal contract with the university and/or NCAA. Do I do it? No. Can you do it freely if unaffiliated to either school or NCAA? yes. Could it lead to a violation? Sure, it could but then NCAA would have to investigate every tweet equally, which is impossible. And Universities would have to accept unlimited liability for every person in the world, which will never happen.

That's great! I'm going to use this from now on.

That AND the Irish exit with a twist.

Before you make your exit, tell someone something random that you would love to have at that moment. "Man, I would love to have a bath right about now." When everyone realizes you're gone and starts asking where you are, that guy will pop up and say, "I don't know! He said something about a bath and that's the last I remember seeing him!"
