I may be in the minority here, and if you -1 me, so be it, but can we for once build SOMETHING that is not bedazzled in Hokie Stone? I get that it is a piece of our University Architectural Standard, but with all of the new buildings popping up on campus, 50% of the building is Hokie Stone and the other 50% is a combination of glass and crappy precast concrete panels. It is completely uninspired, unimaginative, and frankly outdated. Collegiate Gothic architecture (as seen around the drillfield, at Duke, Princeton, etc.) was the standard in the late 19th/early 20th Century. We're 100 years past that, at an institution known for kickass architecture and engineering programs. As a graduate of the architecture program, I am frankly offended by the shitty architecture of the new construction. For the love of Christ can one building element be constructed that is not an homage to Hokie Stone?

After the abomination that is our basketball practice facility, please just put up something modern and in the context of our stadium. It is a giant ass video board for a football stadium. Plus, adorning it in stone gives it way too much visual mass and makes it look heavy and clumsy. It should be light, it should use modern materials. If you want a little stone here and there, use it intelligently. Your rendering is a good example of this, so high five.

Rant over. I'm sorry if I offended any of you.

lol i just noticed you drew mechanical mouths on Foster's and Grimes' jaw. Nice touch

Hopefully there will be an addendum to the drawings that reflect these changes.

Hell of a first post. A tip of the hat to you sir.

I added your suggestions, plus I thought Beamer should ride in on Thankskilling Turkey, and the pet Turkey Bear would guard the lunch pail while defense was on the field.

Friggin' Grimes with the friggin' laser beam on his friggin' head

I was thinking the exterior of the structural columns could be cladded in Hokiestone all the way up, but this looks cool too

Grimes shoots lazors out the eyes

Was that what Cutler meant when he said, "The damage has already been done"?

I don't see how someone could waste their energy on such a hopeless cause as UVA

All of these boys have had an opportunity to watch both teams that last few years and if any man could change their minds, we have a serious problem beyond football folks. I don't see this affecting maby recruits honestly.

I, too, would like to see Miami get swiftly punished for what they have done, but I can only hope that the NCAA does it *mostly* right this time. It wouldn't feel right if Miami got hammered mostly because the NCAA can't even handle itself. I want a competent NCAA here, so that Miami and all their idiotic fans can't scream out "DA U GOT HOSED" or something along those lines. I'd rather see them all upset because they got slammed by the NCAA than have to listen to them complain about how they got treated unfairly.

Can't we just have the Thankskilling turkey rise up from behind the scoreboard for every 3rd down key play?

i'm trying to take my hatred for miami out of the equation when i look at what could be fair. but i just can't. i hope the ncaa gives some stiff punishment. the fact that the administration is saying theyve had enough punishment is ridiculous. i hope they slam the school....but for some reason i don't see it happening maybe some probation thats about it.

Miami has already self-imposed some scholarship and recruiting punishments but they definitely need about 2-5 years of probation as well as additional scholarship reductions. I can't argue for additional post-season bans although I wouldn't be surprised if another was added due to the fact that this was such a big issue. Wouldn't it suck for them if they got a post-season ban in football and basketball? One where they are currently #2 in the nation in hoops and them BAM, no tourney for you.

Also, Shalala needs to go at Miami. On one hand, I like her because she's an idiot dragging them down. I mean there was a picture of her accepting a check from Shapiro! At the same time, she's an embarassment to their university with her accusations against the NCAA. Actually, I change my mind. I want her to stay there and keep being an idiot.

It would be great to put Grimes on the other side. Full team Goatee blowing fire would be badass!!!!

I have never seen that one. I have to say Ron Swanson has done it again. I am thoroughly impressed.

the dude may have went to Clemson, but this isn't that bad of a thing.
