The Virginia Badgers are going to use Chrome Helmets for the 2012 season (definitely got the inspiration from the Oregon Ducks bowl helmets):

That'll at least be something fun to look at as they get their asses beat.

I don't see them beating Harrisburg, Cape Fear, or Carolina. Macon?, perhaps. Tri-State and Maryland, definitely beatable.
I too want to see the helmets. I wonder how they'll treat them so the paint doesn't get scratched or wear off though.

Probably some practice facility that seats in the hundreds at most I'd imagine. They're playing some non-league pre-season games before playing 4 road games as an affiliate travel-team in the AIF.

Kidding aside, it's going to be good for the home fans that the Badgers will at least have played 50-yard football. It won't make them a good team, but it'll erase the hiccups of not ever having played the sport, at the very least.

They haven't played an AIF game yet (first one is this weekend). They played a pre-season game against some semi-pro's, but I haven't seen any pics of it (haven't really looked either).

just looked at those. Badgers told me on facebook they were def going to have chrome helmets game one. They must think the silver ones are chrome.
Man that field looks safe, where did they bring that turf from?

Holy *$&&%.
That's the worst laying of turf ever, how did they let them play on that???
That game never should've been played.

They let them play on it because it's the AIF. Probably helped that the players didn't protest.
