Absolutely loving having you as an insider. Now if you could just hook me up with the Hokie stone guy, my dream house can be built
Alcohol and crack.
But mostly alcohol. Lots and lots of alcohol.
Well yea, this would only involve 2 helmet changes. One for the military appreciation (the orange digital camo), and the white one for a special away game.
I'm in the minority here, but greatly prefer our 'LSU' style jerseys over the '03 all maroon ones. I don't like the number style/font (especially the orange numbers on the shoulder), and I don't think those jerseys incorporate enough orange in them either. The shoulder stripes are about as traditional looking as you can go, and they provide just the right amount of orange.
Man I love Rails...wish I knew what the heck is in them!
What I'd like to see this year.
The bottom two are for big games. The all maroon would be for UNC I guess, and the all white would be for Miami or GT Thursday night
possible, but think about last year, offense AND defense were not playing well at all. At the end of the year only offensive coaches were replaced. If there is one coach who takes something more personal than Bud, let me know...that guy, as far as I can tell, is pissed and ready to show it. Like french's article, the switch to the 4-4 and 4-6 in the FSU game was evident, so look for a much improved defense this year. With that defense, I think we can hold alabama to under 20-24 points. The big question is exum and his potential replacement. This game is going to come down to our offense's ability to score points (duh), the defense will do it's job i think.
I know exactly where that is. Just a few miles from my sisters place. She lives off Rt11 as soon as you get back to Cburg. Haha small world! :)
If there was one helmet I would be willing to use other than the maroon VT or possibly military, it would be that white one. That being said, I still don't like switching the helmet, but it's not bad. If there were more games I wouldn't be opposed to switching but there are 12 games in a season, 13 if you make the championship game and 14 if you go to a BCS bowl, for now. Last year hokies had different helmets for, I think, 7 or 8 games. There is no brand development in that. If they are going to switch the helmet, maximum of 1 or 2 times, no more.
But these are my favorite uni's in the past decade, and I definitely like using solid maroon pants and solid white with those jerseys. The stripes on the pants add too much IMO.
French--- question about the Carolina 4-2-5. I get that based on the front 4 and their spur who is their rover/whip combo there are some differences, but are their any similarties between Ellis Johnson's defense and Buds. Ellis had a lot of success in 2010 I believe, against Bama where they held Bama under 50 yards rushing for the game not to mention Bamas two backs that game were Ingram and Richardson. Is their anything Bud could draw from that?
That's a terrific point. Probably part of the reason Saban is on this slowing down the game crusade.
Eh, either one, really:
Frank be lookin good
The very top left, I chose to do all maroon pants just to solidify the maroon look. I was at a thursday night game where it was foggy, cold and maroon effect. The team came out in all maroon and the crowd was SO loud...it was the most eerie, terrifying feeling to be at that game and I can not imagine being the other team..I really only like all-maroon for one big game...Don't over do it.
I can't decide which military one I like better but I definitely don't like wearing white at home. For the 2013 uniform set, I am not a fan of wearing a lot of orange, but for an orange effect game or a semi-big game, I don't mind the orange pants since we are the only ACC school that can pull that off. For BIG games, as you can see, maroon on maroon or white on white. Period.
My favorite uniforms are the older ones....I love how much maroon they have and they still have orange. I think I would like the ACC patch moved to the right shoulder and maybe modernize the numbers a bit. But regardless or the modern numbers, those numbers still look decent. Overall keep the maroon helmet for all games except, perhaps, military appreciation.
EDIT: HELP, I am having trouble getting the pics to stay up...any suggestions?
The ones in the top left are hands down my favorite, maybe wear white or orange sleeves instead of maroon. The ones below that should be our away jerseys every game.
I would like an alternate that is all grey pants and jerseys. I think the stripes on the sides of the pants and shoulders should be maroon and the numbers on the front and back of the jersey should be maroon.I would like VPI on the front in maroon. The names on the back and numbers on the sleeve in orange. Helmets should be flat gray (similar to the bowl game only grey)with maroon VPI with orange outline. Always thought that would be cool alternate look to wear one time a year at night. Just thought I would share my opinion. I have thought about that idea for years.
It's funny, because this years pathetic orange effect tag line is "You and what army?"
this photo needs to be in a gallery somewhere.
yes, please, and thank you.
'we have an army.' ... 'we have a Beamer.'
Goddamnit I laughed out loud at that.
I love Weaver, but I'm am really curious what the future holds for Tech sports once he steps down.
I want someone like Oliver Luck. Revolution!
Really? I would've thought your treadmill would be.
If that's the case, you're getting yours made wrong.
I just hog the clock in the NCAA by running the shit outta the ball (with some good passes mixed in), let's do that from now on!
