Love the throwback uniforms as do most, excluding our youngest fans. They are a classic look similar to LSU, Ole Miss, UCLA, Auburn, old Patriots, etc. ...unfortunately we haven't seen them much in the last couple years as we have worn a parade of silly shit week after week. You seldom see the SEC schools wearing that crap...why should we?
5-0 final absolutely painful to watch. Worse than imagining more than ten people at a LOLUVA spring game
While there is a strong Hokie Alumni presence in Northern Virginia, there are also people from all over with difference college alumni backgrounds. When the economy went boink, this area was one of the hot beds for jobs. While other areas in the country declined this area somehow seemed to at least barely hold itself up. People that needed work came from all over so it's not just a bunch of people in maroon and orange walking around (as cool as that would be)
For this to be true, then the pass would have to go across the line scrimmage and either be catchable, or the QB has to be out of the tackle box. So, it doesn't sound feasible.
During field goals and point after attempts, are you also a proponent for the holder to be considered down for having one knee on the ground?
Yes, there are some stupid caveat rules, but they're there to help, not hinder the game.
One of those reasons stores like that do so well in Alabama is because, as you know, there's only the two teams down here.
In nova, there's VT, sure, but there's also the Redskins (as bad as they may be), the Nationals, Capitals, and other pro sports teams that are nearby. Farther south in Virginia you may find more Carolina Panthers merchandise, etc.
There's just more sports teams/fans around, and there's a lot more people in NOVA who aren't originally from Virginia as compared to the people in Alabama, so lots of people bring their own teams with them. Just a different market.

Nick Saban proposes to ban being able to return missed field goals
So maybe your team should have played a little better up to that point. I do not see it as a positive that this rule has been the difference in a lot of games.
I despise the spiking the football play as it now stands. It is not a competitive play. It is a risk-free play for the offense that negates the efforts of a team that has thus-far beaten the team taking the spike. At a very minimum, there should be penalty yardage for this play. Something that acknowledges the defense has been doing its part in keeping the ball in the field of play and the clock winding.
I just don't see anything added to the game by it. It was an arbitrary rule set up to make the end of games more exciting for fans (read: more money from networks), and spits in the face of tradition and the superior effort and strategy and yes, sometimes just plain luck of the team on defense.
Well shit. 2-0 Finland on two goals in about 15 seconds...
My new goal in life is to have one of those
I just saw that. Yesterday I was going to make mention of the fact that he and Saban were offering up the flimsy excuse that somehow this was all tied to safety. I think this shows just how disingenuous they really are about this rule change.

that's the beauty of being a 'tech' school. It's a great opportunity for recent grads to test out (donate) their products/inventions. Besides.... ~ we're talkin' bout PRACTICE!!!~
If only Oshie was on the ice.
0-0 with 7 minutes left in the 1st, lots of action around the net for both teams and a power play each, if you haven't tuned in yet I would suggest doing so.
You're hysterical. It was a typo.
2006 Clemson. My first night game in Lane.
Let's get this win today! Bring home the bronze!
Did anyone else read how Bret Bielema stuck his foot in it?

I liked that uniform too.
Holy fuckballs. Wantwantwant
I need that sweater and I need it now!
In College I think the rule is the clock doesn't stop until the ball hits the ground out of play. Spiking it at his feet one second, throwing it out of bounds and hitting 3-4 seconds. That has been the difference in a lot of games between leaving 1 second on the clock and game over.
It means they've accidentally converted all the QBs to other positions. J.C. Coleman has switched to #5 and will lead the offense from the Wild Turkey formation.
(This is when Bud said, "hey stiney, get over here", learned of the plan, and lost his mind and eliminated Defensive End, because there was just no use trying.)
That would be damn cool, but I think they would be constantly repairing them from damage or cleats ripping them out. You have some big hoss like MANBEARPIG up against Teller and they're gonna rip the earth to shreds.
Sorry. I couldn't help myself. It's all good.
