UVa trying hard not to look like LOLUVa this weekend

Hey, I can't fault them for trying. But I have to say, I don't like the look at all.

The logo sticker is even on crooked.

This is going to be great for the ACC.

That kind of inattention to detail makes me want to punch the equipment manager in the neck. I cannot stand crooked decals.

Ha - kind of reminds me of this...

Hmmmmm.....
Let me look closer at that:

Closer......

I have already checked the TV listings, and was pleased to see I will be able to view their loss this week.
Does it make me a bad guy that I revel in their misery?

A picture is worth a thousand words. A gif is worth a million.

NO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No No No- you are not bad at all. In fact Sam Rogers requires us to revel in loluva misery!

Put that in front of Sam Rogers and it will be like waving a red cape in front of a bull.

I'm kind of surprised they didn't opt for argyle, though...

"Exit light..."

That pattern is fitting. Goes well on knobs.

They're wearing white unis tomorrow night too. There's been a bit of confusion amongst fans (yeah, I know, go figure) as to whether there is a "white-out" for their game. Their athletic department, in true LOLUVA fashion, has said "we don't care what you wear, as long as it's not blue and gold, just come to the game and be loud." From this, I draw several conclusions: 1. They don't have a clue as to how to organize fan "effect" games (see: Babcock, Whit), 2, They're ok with anything, as long as you're breathing. Or not. Just buy a ticket for goodness sakes! 3. Their fans are going to be totally confused with the home team being in white. 4. They're hoping that everyone watching on TV (all 113 of them) thinks that the small home crowd reflects poorly on Pitt.

As always, LOLUVA.

Take the shortest route to the ball and arrive in bad humor.

It can be very difficult to pull off an "effect" game with so many empty seats though. There's no live-action photoshop available to add fans into the seats for the broadcast.

Word is they are feverishly replacing the existing bleachers with these:

"Exit light..."

It's their "Ennui Effect" game.

Also known as "Saturday".

You have to fill the stands with manikins or something. That's a lot of pre-game setup for a telecast that tens of people are going to watch.

It was a catch

I disagree... Miami pulls off the Orange Effect impressively well

Both schools are trying to market a Ghost Effect game and an Echo Effect game. The fewer fans the better

Yes, as well as the Putt Putt Panthers pull off the gold effect

pitt fans

They celebrate Halloween all season long, so the fans dress up as empty seats.

Bleeding burnt orange and chicago maroon

It doesnt help to try. The Old UVA had not really been working, but I was fine with that.

LOLUVA fans. "Effect" games causing confusion?

i hate uva as much as the next hokie.

but with some of the helmets we've worn in recent memory, we really can't talk much. although, our helmet offerings this year have been much better than the previous 2 years.

i don't think these look half bad.

Every second counts

i hate uva as much as the next hokie.

I disagree. The next hokie clearly hates them mucher.

If "Mucher" = More Much, Then:
Muchest = Most Much

Pain is Temporary, Chicks Dig Scars
Glory is Forever, Let's Go Hokies!!

My hatred for them is limitless...I hate their mother's mother's and their unborn great great great grandchildren.

Yep.

a.) I like this helmet for uva, and
b.) hokiestone helmet, and
c.) cartoon hokie helmet.

DON'T YOU DARE MAKE FUN OF THE HOKIESTONE HELMET. Would've looked better with matte paint as opposed to the shiny complexion, gotta say. Anyhow, these UVA helmets are quite awful

"It might be dark outside, but it's LeDay in here." - Jay Bilas

Don't look half good either , prefer Hokiestone to a pair of scissors .

georgebd

Would look better if the logos didn't look like cheap car window stickers. I am more upset that they are getting a night game and we have yet another nooner. Can't get no damn respek!

Plan for the worst and hope for the best, not the other way around.

their fans are whining about it being in the 40's by KO.

"Weenies." -Cowherd

"It might be dark outside, but it's LeDay in here." - Jay Bilas

I'm okay with us not playing at UNC at night - there is only so much wine and cheese that can be consumed by a 12:30 kickoff time in Chapel Hill.

They had two 3 pm kickoffs and a primetime tonight. UVa is clearly paying someone off.

Live for 32. Ut Prosim. Let's Go, Hokies.

That helmet should be argyle

Hmmm....
I'm thinkin' this....

And accessorize with this:

Those are lowkey not half bad

"It might be dark outside, but it's LeDay in here." - Jay Bilas

Respect.

Looks like rows upon rows of little bitty zima bottles. And it gave me a headache.

I'm confused by this... The handles on the scissors will hit each other therefore rendering them useless. :-/

every time I drive by Charlottesville , I m glad I didn't go to the university there. I see nothing historic about that place.

Idk of anyone else here had ever noticed it, but there have been times when I drive by charlotteshole and it smells like sewage. I'm talking straight up ass

I visited Monticello once as a young lad. Worst nightmare ever

"It might be dark outside, but it's LeDay in here." - Jay Bilas

You must be talking about the stretch of I-64 near exit 120, right below Monticello. It can get pretty ripe down there. The sewage plant is right beside the interstate.
