Yay! And thanks to whomever came up with the Hardee's coupons.

Great news for CMY.

Go Hokies!!

This is great news, but I get a chuckle at what an honest tweet caption would be:

"No interest elsewhere!"
"Bags bag them same"

"Nooooooooooo!"
~What happened?
"James Franklin to Virginia Tech...."
~Fuck me......*sigh*
"Oh my God.... They're gonna take all our recruits... like WTF bro...."
~*squints eyes in disbelief*

If I recall correctly, Tobi declared for the NBA draft, with the option to retain eligibility, and had already stated if he did not go the NBA route, he would be back at VT

Now finish up them taters; I'm gonna go fondle my sweaters.

This is correct. He did not get invited to NBA Combine and feedback was he likely would not be drafted so is returning.

With every ounce of respect I can say this with- Lawal is not an NBA player. He is a dime a dozen- an athletic wing that really can't shoot the 3. They grow on trees in the NBA. NAW is a much, much better player and he comes off the bench. NBA was not realistic for Lawal.

NAW may come off the bench but he is top 5 on Minnesota when it comes to minutes.

I didn't realize his cousin was Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, they did a puff piece on them before the last game.

Those 2, RJ Barrett, Jamal Murray, Dillion Brooks pulled a "VT" and did not medal at the olympic last summer. Borderline criminal. The best canadian team ever by far, and they didn't post.

They actually played each other when NAW was at VT and SGA was at Kentucky. That was when I first heard about it! I think the good guys lost by 7 that time haha.

any idea on the size of the bag we are dropping?

it's going to be an assload of money.

Or perhaps just one big load of ass?
