I like what ESPN did there.

As Matt Barrie said, something just feels right about VT on a Fall Thursday Night. For those that didn’t see, they basically showed 2 minutes of VT’s Enter Sandman entrance completely uninterrupted, the announcers just stayed silent and let you soak up the atmosphere.

And Marshall is the other Thursday night game? Is it 1997? Guess I’ll be hitting up Dave’s after watching Randy Moss go for 200 and 4 TDs.

Speaking of helmet logos, why the hell did VA Tech get away from the iconic maroon helmet with VT logo & maroon jerseys? Their uniforms look as bad as ours do.

Are they adidas and was not before?

Because it's what all schools do now for social media and to sell merchandise

Notice that aTm has hats and shirts with a script Aggies this year. However they kept their tradition aTm helmet logo.

Virginia Tech hasn't abandoned their maroon helmets and jerseys. Tonight was something VT calls "the orange effect" . . . so all of their fans are supposed to wear orange shirts, hats, etc. I guess that's why the VT players were wearing orange pants, orange jerseys, and white helmets.

I went to the VT game tonight (my daughter is a first-year there). The Enter Sandman intro was impressive.

I think it was “grab me a Betty” but close enough.

I'm one of the few that thinks the intro is overrated. Give me old school intros like Ralphie stampeding on the field.

The aTm is not only the helmet logo, but it's the official school logo.

I'm with you on the merch sales. But you need that one consistent branding across all things. Doesn't have to be on every uniform, but it should be the unquestioned logo. However, here at MSU, we have to split them up and use a shltty one for our 'athletics' logo because we are dipshlts.

I went to a VT game for the first time last season. That entrance is fun.
