Not sure if you're joking, but in case you're not, here it is.

"Square root of 1". In various programming languages, sqrt is the syntax for square root. Apparently (very recent news to me) the slanted VT logo is supposed to be a nod to square root of 1 which is just the number 1. Nerdy way of saying VT is #1, I guess

What burns my ass about this is that I'm willing to bet that of those complaints, the vast majority were butthurt LOLUVA fans and not people actually offended because they thought it was vulgar.

If I saw a clever LOLUVA fan plate that I could technically lodge a complaint against because it could be considered vulgar I wouldn't. It would inspire me to create an even better pro VT plate.

Man, that team could have been so good. Beat Texas A&M 35-19, Syracuse (who happened to be decent back then) 51-7, and Miami 31-7. Lack of focus, poor leadership by players, and Bud's 4-4 scheme was that team's undoing.

USAFHokie: asking all the right questions.

Take the "e" off the end and it'll fit. You're welcome.

Surprisingly, the only time someone said anything to me about it was when I was in line at the bank and some guy says "are you a michigan fan, I saw your car". And I said "Why do you ask, because they suck and you think the car is a BJ reference?". And the guy said "No, I am a Michigan fan. I thought it stood for "I go Blue" (which I guess is what they say up there). It was a long and quite 20 minute wait after that.

I'm sure she gets a lot of thumbs up in traffic.

Long story short, got a 90 dollar round trip to New Orleans from Philadelphia(one of those last minute airfare deals 3 days before the game), got 25 dollar nosebleeds for lsu-vt, drank at the bars all day in Baton Rouge, entered the wrong gate with some other tech fans and ended up sitting in the first row which was only a small fence away from the field. Tyrod played that game, I know it was a beat down but was standing right next to Shaquille Oneill at one point, one of the girls I entered with was an injured cheerleader, as the deputy was eyeing us down like we didn't belong there all the cheerleaders came over and hugged the one girl no more looks from him for the rest of the night. It would have been great if they won but I'll never get seats like that again, well i did sit with Snyders kid or nephew at the Boise St game he even asked how I got the ticket, but that's a different story

Got this license plate when I was in school:

Then the stupid DMV revoked my plates due to "numerous complaints" and what angered me the most about taking them not letting me renew the plates was that they wouldn't tell me what the threshold is to revoke plates.

It's ok though - I figured out a solution:

Unfortunately, the DMV revoked these plates as well and has blocked all of my attempts since then to get new ones.

As a bonus, here are all four plates together:

I was going to get
"VirginiaPolytechnicAndStateUniversityistheGreatestSchoolintheMilkyWayGalaxyandHorsesOnTreadmillsMakeyourWildestDreamsComeTrue" but the DMV wouldn't go for it even after I offered to throw in a few extra bucks for the trouble.

I still don't understand the fascination with uniforms in general.

My favorite uniforms still are Penn State. That old school nothing look with the black cleats says a lot by saying little.

*Cringes in anticipation of the Penn State jokes to follow...

I know this is incredibly short notice but it'd be awesome for there to be either a Q&A with Jon Laaser or have him as a guest on a preseason edition of the Key Podcast. Either way I'm sure the site will continue doing great things. Not trying to tell anyone how to do their job...
