I do not think that he intended to be insulting. I think he drew your question as one in which you wanted and answer, not rhetorical.
He sounded rather matter of fact to me, unless I've missed something.
Sounds like we're trying to keep him as a secret weapon, only to be unleashed all over those stupid turtles tomorrow.
I'm a fan of the helmet rotation, just saying that it makes sense to get some more run out of the Hokie Stone ones we have. I'm in if we got matte. Not trying to insult.
Here's Dozer's pic if y'all missed it:
These looked all black to me, but are they really maroon? Because that'd be awesome! (help me, I'm seriously colorblind)
BlackFinn is always a great time - especially for earlier kickoffs (the place gets PACKED in the evenings). Usually the Charlotte Hokie Club takes over the entire upstairs, they have the game on most, if not all, of the TVs with audio, play Enter Sandman, etc. Typically a nice number of Hokies there as well.
Did anyone see the helmet mockup that BillDozerVT did yesterday with the maroon old gobbler on a matte maroon vt helmet? THAT would be awesome.
Terry Bowden looks excited for his dads old team
Was the solar house the same as the Tau Delta fraternity house on Houston Street?
No one is saying much, but there is no doubt the team had contact with him prior to this week. It would not surprise me that he tried to walk on last year and did not make it. But made enough of an impact to be registered in the memory file. We will find out more as this story evolves.
That image looked a lot better in my head but when I put it into the builder, I cringed a bit.
I lived in the solar house and left a couch there in 1994... It just might have been the same one.
Awesome story! - GO HOKIES! ~8)
A turkey leg to you and a turkey leg to your best friend. Sometimes, I think the students these days need a refresher course on gameday etiquette.
Cody Grimm comes up twice in one discussion! This topic has come full circle. Very Zen
I would have to say that my best Hokie football moment from when I was a student was for the game that never happened. My first ever game as a student was the 2000 Lightning Bowl against Georgia Tech. I came to VT to get my MBA and I had never experienced big time college athletics. My undergraduate college was lucky to field an ultimate frisbee intramural squad. Before the season started I was lucky enough to have met a guy who has become one of my best friends, he was a straight through grad student who had been going to VT for 5+ years at that point. He took me under his wing and taught me all the great aspects of Hokie football - smuggling airplane bottles tucked into socks, taped to inside pant legs, buried under 5 layers of rain gear; Stick it In, Stick it In, Stick it In; 3rd down Key Play; 4th Quarter Hokey Pokey; Never Sit; Quiet on Offense, Unleash holy hell on Defense; WIN - What's Important Now, the Lunch Pail; Beamerball.
I've been a season ticket holder ever since. I've gotten older, I sit occasionally when the TV time out guy is on the field now, but I'll never forget that "game". There were 56,000 of us all packed under the stadium hoping to get that game started.
Georgia Tech has quite a few
Had the Airplane Bottles of strength coursing through me and felt unstoppable
I know everybody hates the orange because of the duke game but i think Hokiestone helmet, maroon jersey, orange pants would look really sharp.
Wasn't Grimm a walkon as well?
Looks like we will be going to Blackfinn. Thanks for the input.
Considering that he was flirting with either VT or Clemson; this moment was vindication and complete euphoria
Who would have thought it would come to that. The most entitled and blindly optimistic fanbase and the team with the biggest jerk of a coach getting Hokies to cheer for them. Just this once though, just once.
Eli Harold?
They will officially say on Monday, unless it gets flexed to the six day option. I'm guessing it's a nooner.
Apparently I am on the limb here, but I dig these uniforms. I like the change up, and I'm willing to bet the seniors had some say in this - and if they want to wear chicago maroon and burnt orange thongs then they can do whatever the f*** they want. Thanks Seniors!
I actually really liked the combo we used against GT. I thought it looked great.
