Biggish news Jalen Johnson is opting out of dukes season after as of now.

Directions from Blacksburg to whoville, go north till you smell it then go east until you step in it

Only thing that bothers me about this are all the articles calling him a coward for opting out. Definitely no need for that in amateur athletics.

No, I can definitely understand Diarra not wanting to clean his brain with a q tip 3 times a week.

Luckily you don't have to do that anymore

There's always a lighthouse. There's always a man. There's always a city.

Everybody that I talk to that is still getting tested, that is the method still being used.

Dang, in DE you can do the brain tickle method, a method where you still put it in your nose but only like a quarter/half an inch, or a saliva test.

There's always a lighthouse. There's always a man. There's always a city.

UVA getting blasted early at FSU.

loluva getting worked:

Realizing we play FSU next:

I don't know what a Hokie is, but God is one of them!

True. But if we somehow play/beat fsu and loluva loses another... three way tie!

VB born, class of '14

with both tiebreakers

Never Forget #1 Overall Seed UVA 54, #64 UMBC 74

three way tie!

There's a little leeway if it's a three-way.

It's the golden rule

"somehow play/beat fsu" Good luck with that. Home record is 26, FSU is at 24 and only needs to beat us and BC (a dismal team that just canned their coach) to tie the record so I can only imagine how up they will be for that game. Maybe if we get Boots back (any word?) we might have a chance. So unless there is magic in the popcorn sold at FSU or we have some awesome game plan I am getting the same vibes before the FSU game that I get before a Fuente football game aka a lack of optimism but GO HOKIES

That's true, FSU has won 24 conference home games in a row. And they'd be in reach of tying the record this season if they can beat us + BC.

That is what you get when you cancel for the hard games at home.

I mean Wake probably should have beat them on Saturday. But they're also at 42% from three before tonight in conference play and we allow a lot of three point attempts so could get ugly. The one thing I will say, is FSU gets up and down the floor and want to run which makes for fun games. So hopefully we just trade buckets for 40 minutes with us making one more at the end.

Anyone receive their mike young popcorn bucket yet?

No

I got a thank you letter but no mention of the popcorn box to be found. Glad I'm not alone I suppose

Same here... Starting to wonder.

I haven't even received the commonwealth cup magnet

Received mine today. Very nice.

Just got two today and not sure why.

Yes,that's the Hokie Bird riding a camel. Why'd you ask?

If your willing to part with your second one - email me thepailholder @gmail.com

I told him I’d crawl on my hands and knees to be the DL coach at Virginia Tech. Now, all of a sudden, I’m sitting in this chair and I told him I’d still crawl on my hands and knees to work here. I just want to be here.
JC Price

A little off topic. I kicked in $25 for the Commonwealth Cup magnet. Has anyone got that?

No magnet yet. I got a note a week or two ago that there were production delays or something like that, but they are working through it.

Probably couldn't get the shit smears from LOLUVa handling the original trophy.

Georgia Tech up 48-18 on Miami at halftime? Is the Hurricanes roster not available?

GT shooting 63% and 50% from outside while Miami at 28.6%...

Hokies have GT up next on Tue night.

Louisville just lost by 45! 😳

I don't know what a Hokie is, but God is one of them!

Down goes loluva!!! šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚

I don't know what a Hokie is, but God is one of them!

UVA have how many signature wins this year? Couldn't even handle an empty cameron. Only thing that stains this loss is the fact it might give a god awful puke team a good win

Directions from Blacksburg to whoville, go north till you smell it then go east until you step in it

I genuinely think their only "signature" win is their win on the road against a Clemson team coming off a covid pause. And to be honest, that Clemson team wouldn't be a signature win if UVA played them now.

Metrics love UVA like always, but that team is not worthy of the 3 seed (best 3 seed as well) the committee gave them last weekend.

Duke and Kentucky, both essentially eliminated from post-season play(who thought we would say that EVER) both pulled off ranked upsets in #7 LOLUVA and #19 Tennessee. Duke obviously is not completely done at 10-8 but essentially needs to win out to have a chance at the NCAA's.

Got to love Duke and Kentucky playing the role of medling spoiler.

I feel like a 13-8 Duke gets at least a first four bud this year.

Yes,that's the Hokie Bird riding a camel. Why'd you ask?

They have Syracuse, Louisville, Georgia Tech, and North Carolina remaining regular season. I think they go 2-2 in that stretch, putting them at 12-10, needing to at least reach the ACC Championship to be 3-1 or 4-0. 4-0 obviously gets the automatic bid, 3-1 they are 15-11 and likely a 9 or 10 seed. Thats alot of ifs. Outside of this win today, Duke hasnt shown me enough resilience to make that kind of run.
