I think we have seen that they want to stick with a more traditional look...I think we have worn our classic VT helmets more than we did the entire last season.
I would say Maroon brain bucket, maroon jersey and I wouldn't mind seeing the orange pants, but I think they will go for grey or white.
Ok, it's almost kickoff time. You should probably go get another drink....oh cool, you just threw back that airplane bottle. I like you're style kid.
I lost it at this part. Thanks for the awesome post Skipper! God this is the greatest website ever! There's gold everywhere you look!
Always a classic!
I was so mad when some dumbass threw an airplane last weekend. We were sitting in the middle of the East stands, our D was on the field, UNC was driving, in our redzone. It was THIRD DOWN. And everyone is cheering for this stupid paper airplane that was going to land on the field. Seriously??!! It's third down! And you're watching a paper airplane? Go home.
those two that he did were particularly impressive...in pads and helmet, effortless, feet planted and landed in the same spot.
Thanks for clearing that up. I assumed that the Bama game wouldn't really count and that they'd switch it up for a home game.
Funny. My first trip to the BMS and it will be for a VT football game. Nice! My friends and I are already planning!
LOL
people were still talking about this when I arrived in the early 90s...I don't know details but yea please divulge. I remember something about the courtyard and mattress fires.
So, normally the Corps and the Marching Virginians will switch out roles once a year at home games. The MVs will do the pregame and the Corps will do halftime. This is usually done during the Thursday night game, but thanks to our Athletic Director, that game isn't happening this year, so I'm not sure if we'll ever see them switch. Although they may do this during the Maryland game, or if we somehow walk into a night game against Duke.
The MVs did pre-game for the Bama game. Unfortunately, I don't think they will be doing it again this year. If they do, it will be for the Duke game because that is also Band Parents and Alumni Band day. Usually though, the Alumni Band joins for the halftime show, so it would be a change to do pre-game. Maryland is out of the question because with it being the last home game, it means it is also senior day. So all the senior football players will be announced before the game and the senior MVs will be announced at half-time. Just a tip from a former MV.

I agree with a few posts in here, but NO ORANGE or at least in the retro style
Had to watch the Cowherd UVA bash right after.
If you can get comped drinks in Tunica, MS I feel that you should be able to get them anywhere
Maroon jerseys and orange pants with maroon brain buckets.
My boss at work is a Hokie alum and Corps alum. Some of the stories of the rivalry between the two Corps are pretty epic.
My Keydet dad swears the coldest he's ever been in his life, was the '77 VMI-VPI game at Lane. And he was born and raised in Watertown, NY! It was a game that only the Hokies on the sidelines seemed dressed for the weather. Though my friends never believe it, he swears the wind blocked a FG attempt that game.
The only time he's been back to Lane since,was when we watched the Techmo Bowl there last year. Fortunately the weather held up pretty well for an exciting and historical win in OT.
Thanks for the History lesson. Very neat video of the VMI game BTW. Kudos Skipper!
P.S. I'm doing it right. ;)
He was apparently running sprints on an empy practice field at 7 am Monday morning.
Shane seems to think he'll play.
UVA's front 4 is really really good. Their LB's and DB's are where the Hokies are much better. That Urban kid at nose tackle is the real deal.

The jury disapproves
I love how we auction all of our special helmets off. I may be wrong when I say this, but we are probably one of the most philanthropic teams in the nation when it comes to this.
I also wonder how much of the proceeds they donate and how much stays with our program?
The food reviews.... every damn time
As long as we never were those Orange hjerseys with the god-awful white helmets, I don't really care. They look like Wahoo unis, not VT!
These should never look look so similar.
GENIUS!!!
