I may be in the minority here but I am going to bring it up anayway. We NEVER changed the banner this year (except for stick figures). If someone is art savvy and can change it maybe leveraging some of the ideas we had (in the banner thread) that would be much appreciated.

Also if we are able to incorporate some awesome lightening bolts within Lane - even better.

I will even issue a decree: If a flipping sweet lightening bolt pic is incorporated into the banner and we go >= 10 games -- all is good. If we go <10 games I will commit to putting up a really horriffic / sappy avatar for a year.


:kk:

It never did get changed did it. I think the lightning bolt idea is good.

Come to think of it, I don't think we have too many notable seniors coming up this year off the top of my head (Jarrett, Maddy) nor superstar/key players. This might be the year to leave players off all together. Hell maybe even give TG and Wiles some love, hell, throw the fucking lunchpail in there. The offense doesn't deserve shit after the last couple years...they have to earn it back!! Bring the thunder!!!

I don't own this image, but it may or may not be the current background on my work station (this one is hopefully shrunk to the forum width).

Hahaha - it's on with the Zabka pic! All good lightening bolt pics. We need a change! New year, new team, and updated coaching staff.

Heck we could even incorporate a pic or two of Wiles, TG or Moorehead within the new banner...

I'm still not a fan of the lightning bolts.

I'd rather see Lane Stadium rocking, or the guys hitting the hokie stone on the way to the field before a game...

... and I think Taz has done a great job of choosing your new avatar...

You can't make everyone happy. No matter what the banner needs to change for 2014.

I'd vote Malleck over Cline. Seniority and I expect him to be huge this year, as I would have expected last year if he hasn't gotten hurt.

Maybe Wang. Has been a punching bag of the fan base at times but I think undeservedly, at least last year, and he's a 6th year senior orchestrating the line from center.

:scratch: Is this pic meant for some oil based painting to be hung up in Burrus or is this for our banner?

Tee hee I jest - well kind of.

Potential ideas for players / staff: Maybe have Dadi, 2 corners BF/ KF, Maddy and maybe some pics of other staff (Wiles, TG, CB or Moorehead)?

I PMed the Vol guys about a new banner and told them to check out this thread for pics of players and logos etc. to use so go ahead and post stuff. We don't have much coming back on offense, so I will post some pics of the D guys:

Maddy (a must) - on right
