It's about that time, new banner

[Sleepy T]

I really like the idea of Lane with the lightning. I don't think anyone on offense honestly deserves to be put up there after this past years debacle. Jack Tyler, Exum, and Fuller. I would be cool with throwing in a couple D linemen too (Hopkins and Gayle??). I am always game for the lunchpail somewhere on there.

He's not on the team anymore but who the fuck cares; Joey Phillips in his full mullet glory

 

[HoHumHokie]

Here's a few of my favorite Lane pics that could be cropped into the banner.

Anything with lightning bolts rock!!! That Fullback guy we have should even complete his mullet with a side profile of lightning bolts...

 

[amszete]

Bump - still liking the lightening bolt idea!

 

[NickVT10]

I second that

 

[Forty_Sixand2]

Awesome. I am out of town watching Ms. 46 (well soon to be at least) become Dr. 46, but when I get back, I will compile our thoughts from this thread along with the awesome pics y'all got and send them to UTVol who does our banners for us.

 

[amszete]

Sounds good bro!

 

[sparko]

i'm cool with whatever. i personally like the pics that hohum posted above (of lane) rather than the lightning shot. as far as players, etc.

logan, dj on offense, if you add a third -- maybe miller??? i dunno

defense is a toss up but i feel like gayle, exum, and tyler are the face of the defense (no disrespect towards skip, kfuller, or anyone else). those three from defense should be on there. if you added more, i'd say kyle fuller, hopkins, and tariq -- in that order

 

[amszete]

You can always put in lightening into the one's Ho hum provided as well using photo shop (layers).

The first shot would look the best I think...

Agree with the defense Sparko - maybe also put Maddy on there? The dude always gives 100% and plays like a rabid dog on D.

This. LT, Jack Tyler, Kyle Fuller, Antone Exum, James Gayle get my vote.

Yea, put the seniors up.

This is a football forum, not a "those people were lucky not to be struck by lightning" forum.

By this statement I guess we can write off the 2000 GT game and the exposure that came from it...good call.

Make the lightning the backdrop and the players around it. The stadium is a football theme....

No, but we don't have to make it our logo.

The exposure came from playing Florida State for the national championship, as you might recall.

I want other teams afraid to go to Lane Stadium because of our football team, not random acts of weather.

I'm not knocking your photos - they are cool. A combination might work, but I'm not convinced abou the one with lightning hitting near a stadium full of people.

That's just my opinion.

NP - I respect your opinion. But if I remember correctly, we had one of just Lane in the background with our players so was just proposing something a bit different 'weather' it includes Lane or not. OK bad pun, either way it is including our players since they are what make the team...

Would be cool to see a bolt though and also a slogan at the bottom of depicting when Lee's ass was humbled in Lane Stadium. DON'T GET COCKY AND DISCOUNT OUR HOKIES!!!!

I'm not sure that anyone outside of some VT fans really connect VT to that lightning stuff anymore.

The pictures are definitely cool, but I don't think it needs to be on the banner. The stadium itself is fine.

No clue this was going to be a hot discussion item but I guess anything works now that we are heading into summer. I am fine for any option, but anything we do within the forum is for our VT fans. I could care less what others think. If they want anything that is outside of what our focus is and what we know as a VT community, let them head to the football discussion board and converse with Berkley Blues and OD.

Sooo. We are a few months past due for a new one by now aren't we?
