If you're a Virginia Tech fan who has a thing for the retro "TV" logo (at left), then you're soon going to be out of luck. The school is discontinuing use of the "TV" logo (which gets its name from the "T" in Tech inside the "V" for Virginia), and the old Fighting Gobbler on school merchandise.
“Virginia Tech has a long, long history of name confusion,” said
Larry Hincker, the associate vice president of University Relations. “To
us, this is just a prudent measure of brand protection and brand
enforcement so that we don’t cause continuing confusion in the market
place.”
Virginia Tech's decision isn't being taken well with Hokie nostalgia freaks. There's a Facebook page and petition floating around the Internet calling on the preservation of the logos.

Davis literally never puts in any effort when he should be blocking, and quite honestly, never does anything more than shadow the person he is supposed to be blocking.I would love to hear what the coaches have to say when they see this game film from his most recent game against...

Marcus Davis really is a little *****. He has all the athletic ability in the world, but rarely puts it to use. He is the smallest of *******. If you know of a tinier *****, please let us know. Really. We'd like to see what he's up against. Below is a compilation of just how little of a ***** he is against FSU. If you haven't, please sit back, grab a beer, and be ready...
