It is also on the back of the coach's hats.Here is a pic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robbman21 Posted November 20, 2005 Share Posted November 20, 2005 I'm glad that you posted this and I've wondered for a few years now but thought it may have been one of those 'obviously discussed' things so I was too chicken to post and ask what it's for.

Squeaks4 Posted November 20, 2005 Author Share Posted November 20, 2005 Thanks Huntington...Still, I am suprised the V is so big...Must be tradition Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HuntingtonHokie Posted November 20, 2005 Share Posted November 20, 2005 Thanks Huntington...Still, I am suprised the V is so big...Must be tradition Pat Hill started the tradition when he got there, he wanted the community behind the team, and to honor them he put the V on the back for the agriculture of the Valley. Plus a ton of their players come from the Valley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squeaks4 Posted November 20, 2005 Author Share Posted November 20, 2005 Thats cool...Still a little bit big for me but it does have a cool meaning behind it so its alright...I was thinking it was for "Victory" or something..which would be incredibly dumb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Squeaks4 Posted November 20, 2005 Author Share Posted November 20, 2005 Haha, the caption under the picture where I found it ended by saying "No face-mask penalty was called" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oddball Posted November 20, 2005 Share Posted November 20, 2005 Watching the SC game and Barry Tompkins said it stood for the Fertile Valley, and the San Juaquin Valley as someone already posted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
