+1 and a thank you
Apparently he's now parts of the Indianapolis Colts practice squad now. So at least he's ended up somewhere. Maybe now he can catch passes from Luck, and maybe follow out a similar career path to that of Coach Moorehead.

Missed this earlier, but former #Hokies WR Danny Coale signed with Indianapolis' practice squad. Was recently released by Dallas.— Andy Bitter (@AndyBitterVT) September 19, 2013
Their football atmosphere might not be quite there, but their basketball atmosphere puts ours to shame. Being from Norfolk, I'd like to see ODU do well and hopefully they continue to progress as a program. I look forward to when we play them in the near future.
Yeah, a hard place to get back to really late at night. Especially if bus hopping.
Only in this case there are close to 1000 others in the same boat and many more who have done it before and can empathize. I felt I always lost a couple pounds of sweat from football games we had to wear Dress A. As well as rain games, the raincoat was useless. Got soaked all the way through during the 07 BC game and 09 Miami game but still had a blast.
I too think it has some potential and there could be advantages:
1 The opposing team might think they are about to run into a stone wall and stop in their tracks allowing JG99 to get 46 sacks per game and BF31 to get 12 INT's per game.
2 Imagine the horror in the minds of linebackers and poor defenseless DB's when they see SR45 coming at them with a full "Hokie Stone head of steam" in 3D, they will turn and run in the opposite direction allowing TE14 to score 15 TD's per game.
This is starting to make some sense!

This is bullshit. If I can wake my ass up at 6, sweat my balls off in wool uniforms, have to stay sober,
Never tell your problems to anyone - 20% don't care and the other 80% are glad you have them.
Never was, never will be. Don't know how it started, but I wish marketing would put up a video like that or hand out pamphlets with the words so people would learn it. I always feel like I'm the only one in the section singing.
I can't stand 99% of the things that the uniform department churns out, but I, for whatever reason, actually like these helmets. I guess it hurts on the national and recruiting scale, but I actually LIKE that people won't know what it is. It's time for everyone to learn. Keep in mind that "this is the beginning design stages". Do we have proof that recruits/players actually like all of this stuff..? And I agree with most of the comments above that this could all come crashing down with some sort of idiotic uniform pairing..
I showed this helmet design to a friend that is a Texas Longhorns fan.
His response: 'I'll trade you UT's consistent, classic uniforms for VT's ability to actually tackle people. Deal?'
It's not a duplicate post in the Forum that I can see. ;)
Maybe I'm alone her, but I think these are really cool. Throw a maroon VT on the side and I really like em.
I don't know if anyone saw the NFL article about how players are fitted for a helmet in the preseason so they can't change their helmets during the regular season anymore (so, for example, the Patriots can't wear their throwback uniforms because they would have to change helmets). Can they please make this a rule in college? For the sake of this not becoming a reality?
So it isn't "Tech Tech VPI" at the end?
I think if we're going to incorporate hokiestone into the helmet we should use individual hokiestones as stickers for the helmet. I realize it's not our tradition to put stickers on the helmets, but it could look really cool to have player's helmets slowly morph from the standard maroon to a hokiestone pattern. Of course the sticker plan requires the same helmet to be used every game, which apparently doesn't fly with weaver.
Think about it this way...
Our defense can be known as Rock whilst our offense can be Hard Place. That way, whoever plays us will be in an awful place.
Plus, the hard-hitting safety would rock the receivers/ball carriers/water boy with the helmet in the game. I'm done.
I don't remember Captain Hindsight calling shenanigans in those episodes.
09 Brah, I know you polytech. On another note, did i use "i digress" correctly?
My 8 year old daughter knows Tech Triumph. And sings with me when we get a touch down. Wonder how many of the students do. Here Students please learn
Wish those were our standard away uniforms. Those were so sick. Very aggressive but at the same time clean look.

Somebody did a mock up a while back with a maroon helmet and a VT logo with hokiestone inside...that looked pretty nice, actually. This, not so much.

# | Bitter blog - Beamer confident Journell will find kicking stroke & more Monday notes Unfortunately you can't compare kicking all week in practice to kicking in front of 60k screaming fans with the game on the line....no comparison. I hope he hits the first one and we can just move on and forget about this.
An extra point would be nice for him to break the ice...
Yeah I was gonna say something about the Miami game, then I remembered JMU and BC. I feel there were others in the last couple years but those are the three biggest games that stand out just because of the implications of each game.
