Because it is the single greatest thing I have ever seen.
... I loved that sleeve.
I like the throwback look over some of the things I've seen other teams wear. I'll also be happy with this look for the next 50 years if it means never having one orange sleeve again.
Because that is a sweet piece of merchandise. Nothing says "I'll wear anything if it's got my school's colors and logos on it" like that.
Then I want the guys in the booth ducking. All I'm saying is that the QB "spike" should have to follow the same guidelines of any other pass. Near an eligible receiver or across the line of scrimmage. Chuck it through the goal posts for all I care, but there has to be an element of risk to it, just like every other play.
Why is this sold out?
Who likes the throwback look? Other than the maroon jerseys (which are tolerable at best), our uniforms have been bad for the last three years. Not to mention the various uses of orange as a primary color.
I was hoping that the gray uniforms from last year would be the start of a new design.
What if we're on offense?
Na he was a TE/DE when he came in
Right. Now imagine being backfield on a team that consistently gets hit for 3-7 yds per play on short passes.
Just as hard on those guys and just as mentally frustrating.
We lost 9-0. Texas Southern tomorrow.
They had a sale last summer too, granted it was because we got rid of the "classic VT" logo so there could be something to there being a redesign, but last summer I got a #4 jersey for nearly 50% off through Gobbler Gear.
I would be in favor of a redesign, I know people like the "throwback" look and want "brand identity" but being completely honest we just look like we're wearing LSU's jerseys in maroon and orange. I'd rather have something more unique to us.
We are down 4-0 at the top of the 3rd.
Perfect.
Could just be trying to clear out some of those jerseys, especially the ones seniors wore (3,42,99) Not sure why the 4 and 7 are too but they may just have a lot of those. They might be waiting to see who is wearing which numbers for next year before they order more? I wouldn't mind new uni's though, I am not a big fan of the ones we have now.
I FORMATION. TWIN TIGHT ENDS. POUND THE ROCK. MANBALL.
Running a hurry up, high powered offense is as much a scheme as running a ground and pound game. It all takes strategy. And for people saying that these hurry up offenses cause injuries because they can't substitute and defensive personnel is getting to tired... watch a game with a team that gets the running game going. There is nothing more tiresome and demoralizing than a team that is running between the tackles and picking up 3 or 4 yards a carry. Then if you can get you an 8 or 9 minute drive and capitalize on it with a td it takes a lot out of a defense. Yeah you can sub against these teams but ask those big boys up front how they feel after the game when they are getting blown off the line and put down on their asses. Just as dangerous... football is a big boy sport. Also, high powered, spread offenses is the way of the future. That is a big reason 7on7 is becoming so huge.
Some of the pitches where I played rugby imbedded with glass so, I'm not a good one to talk about playing surfaces.
Is it ok to cuss about spell check in this thread?
Compared to Roanoke and anyplace in NRV, it's pure hell.
Atlanta, Manhattan and Los Angeles might be the only places worse.
Alec, Smart Mr.
I was trying to find somewhere to put him.
What's on second?
I see many INTs waiting to happen in that case.
"...you tried harder than anyone else here...that's why it was so hard to cut you."
regarding your concerns about the fields. In terms of creating regulation indoor/outdoor fields, the plan could be that the outdoor fields are to be artificial to match the indoor. This is a legitimate possibility, artificial fields have come a long way from 'astro-turf' and Mike Brady's backyard. GO HOKIES!
EDIT: I saw this stuff in person - http://xgrass.com/artificial-turf-athletic-fields/artificial-turf-for-ou...
I was walking on it for 5 minutes before realizing it wasn't real grass.
