Will she have the authority to oust Pete and replace him with someone from the basketball account?

Onward and upward

I don't believe Pete has been running the account this summer. That's based on stuff I've seen on 247, and backed up by the lack of major blunders on Twitter.

Yeah, Pete would've posted the helicopters getting US reps out of Afghanistan with "Coach Fuente getting recruits!"

You jest, but could honestly see something like, "2022 Recruits: Jump Onboard Before It's Too Late!! #grit #hardhatmentality

Kinda sad everyone reading your post would agree with you, not /s

The giveaway was not retweeting his 'Epicenter of college football' post when he woke up and saw the news out of Haiti this weekend

Welcome, Alexis!

This hire coincides with me seeing post from @HokiesFB and thinking "did someone take over their social media?"

1-0 every week

She didn't use Gokies so she is already off to a banging start

Plan for the worst and hope for the best, not the other way around.

We're gonna set that bar nice and low for you. Your first objectives are not setting everything on fire, but if you do set everything on fire, it's fine.

A decade on TKP and it's been time well spent.

Alexis ready to whip up that CONTENT

My son- a proud VT alum (of course!) did that for a news station as his first job. It's a fun gig. I wish her all the best

The bad part about this is when someone is hired as the Director of something, you see their picture and they look like they are maybe ... maybe .. half your age. Man I feel old. Probably doesn't help that I hurt my back the other day either.

Recovering scientist working in business consulting

Largely because titles don't always mean a lot to the scope of responsibilities depending on the company (not implying for this specifically).

I think you're onto something. Her LinkedIn says Social Media Coordinator and since she graduated in 2021 and this is her first "non-intern" job, I'd say that title is a better reflection of her duties and responsibilities. FYI - I'm not knocking Alexis. I hope she does an amazing job and runs Pete out of a job.

Like bank managers who are given the title 'VP' even though that title means something completely different in every other industry.

"software architect" "solutions architect".

Unfortunately, the states don't seem all that concerned about policing their rules. No one can legally call themselves an architect (in most states) without having an actual architecture license.

Interesting alma mater...

has quite the anthology

Dude could use an offseason of Hilgartification. Just sayin'.

So her first post will be about the steamy start to a series of hot August practice full of heavy breathing and sweat inducing work on the Tight Ends?
