That's actually a turkey on Virginia Tech's helmets

[NubomTurk]

At first, I thought it was a map of Myanmar (formerly known as Burma.)

But Wikipedia's Viginia Tech page says this:

"The team mascot is the HokieBird, a turkey-like creature. The teams were originally known as the "Fighting Gobblers," and the turkey motif was retained despite the name change."

My boss is a huge VT fan (several kids went there) and I constantly refer to it as the school of the color blind. There is no way any person with normal vision would think those colors look good together.

VT is Officially: Burnt Orange and Chicago Maroon - sorta a combo of UT and A&M - that's a bad thought!

I've always thought the same.

Maroons being the nickname of the University of Chicago, in case anybody was curious what specifically Chicago Maroon is.

It looks like someone hit a maroon helmet with an orange paintball.

Neither team wants to win

That's what she said (Mrs. Turk, that is.) This is brutal. And that VT coach looks like the prototypical grumpy old man.

And now this snoozefest is going to overtime.......................................................!

 

[NubomTurk]

ESPN: "The way these offenses are playing, get ready for a battle of field goal attempts."

 

[NubomTurk]

The opposing team's 25 yard line is the best field position these offenses have had all night!

 

[NubomTurk]

VT unable to punch it in starting with 1st and goal on the 3 yard line.

WHO COULD HAVE FORESEEN THIS????

 

[NubomTurk]

You know, I want to switch to the tceh / Lake Wobegon game, but I have so much boredom invested at this point, I can't tear myself away.

Beamer is very well liked but in this game I keep waiting for him to have a heart attack. It's been a tough game to watch.

Thank goodness that's over.
