I have kids to put through college too, but it is what it is. I'm a sucker like that. Heck, I'd probably even stop and help you out if I saw you stranded on the side of the road.
I just put it out there that if you WANT to support Virginia Tech on Friday and wear freaking Maroon and Orange, then wear maroon and orange. If you don't want to support VT, don't. That is still one freedom we have in this country.
