Having lived in the northeast, midwest, northern Va, and even Charlotte during my career, and traveling throughout the U.S. on business I had to defend our university against the image of being the little brothers of the 'eers and being the hillbilly school in Va, I do not want us to again be subjected to the backwoods image we had for so long. That helmet is so hokie (I don't mean that in a good way) that it will revive the image that many had of our great university before Frank Beamer put us on the map. Hokies Forward.
