Help the Virginia Tech Effect Shirts Not Completely Suck This Year

What started off as a good idea has become a pretty lame one. Since Virginia Tech started Orange Effect in 2002 and Maroon Effect in 2005, we've seen some good slogans for the mass-produced shirts ("Time to Go to Work!") and we've seen some absolutely atrocious ones ("You Can't Take the VT Out of Victory").
There are a couple of reasons the shirt slogans have gotten lame. The first is that they don't allow profanity on the shirts. The second is that apparently not enough people submit ideas. HokieEffect.com is where you can go to submit your own Effect slogans which will later be voted on. Whether you want to be clever or just make fun of how horrible the shirts have become, go ahead and give them your suggestion. The slogans certainly can't get any worse, I don't think.
The two suggestions I made were gleaned from The Twitter. "It's a 114 Year-Old School Cheer" (@briancolligan) and "Shirt Effect!" (@akulawolf). I challenge you to do better. Leave your best Effect slogans in the comments section and if I get enough we'll have our own vote.

"Hokies can't win beard/mustache growing competitions!"
That’s my suggestion. Take it or leave it.
I spun around... and there I was, face-to-face with a six-year old kid. Well, I just threw my guns down and walked away. Little bastard shot me in the ass.
I am not familiar with the Appalachians...
I only know of crappy, coastal redneck scruff. The relatively poor diet and lack of red meat makes for bad beard growth (lots of seafood). I bet Mercury stymies beard growth.

I want a maroon tuxedo t-shirt that says “Save a collar, pop a Wahoo” for the UVA game.

Agree
This is not a skill for a school full of engineers. I think we can see why our shirts suck every year.

Rapid fire

“Hokies in mirror are closer than they appear”
“Don’t feed the Hokies”
“I know what play you’re about to run”
“Bud Foster is Life”
“Hokies know mountains”
“1 Hokie is more than your healthy daily caloric intake”
“Have you heard the one about a Hokie, a priest, and the rabbi?”
“Irginia-vay Ech-tay Okies-hay”
