Here's a link to her bio from the Mizzou site.
'Veteran fundraiser' and Liberty U. grad is what stands out to me.
Impressive.
Carly Northup

According to Tech, her duties will include creating "memorable fan experiences" and customer service initiatives

This is good news - can't wait to see how the game day atmosphere changes with her ideas and initiatives

**Trying to resist mentioning bringing back Stick It In**

Jesus, don't get Hokieknightfx2 started!!!

If you play it, they will win.

Heh, heh! No need to worry guys. Saving it for the games (and if I feel it "fits in" with postgame wrap ups and reviews). Besides, the assistant is from LU. Definitely know it doesn't "fit" with those folks.

It also looks like Whit pulled someone else that used to work with him. It's almost like he's had this as his master plan all along and it putting it all together.

Did someone say Master Plan?

Dr. Whit executing his plan for world domination.

This is going to be great for the ACC.

Well, she's got less than 2 weeks for the 1st fan experience. Better get cracking! Just kidding. Welcome to Hokie nation. Whit. Does. Get. It.

Whit is moving right in and doin work! I like it. A positive in many regards.

(You know, with all of the new uni's I've seen from a lot of other schools, I'm glad Whit has said that VT will be on our helmets for all games this year. There are some horrendous get ups for this season. Yes, it was nice to be one of Nike's work-in-progress schools trotting out different uni looks, but I'm ready to get back to basics. And just win baby! Let's get Frank that ring!!!)

She will also be in charge of improving the game-day atmosphere in Lane Stadium's suites and clubs and identifying "potential opportunities for new premium seat locations" at the the stadium.

Hi Carly,

As a horse, I've always wanted to sit in a seat that is suspended by steel cable from the East stands to the West stands. Now, I know my 800+lbs of pure horsehood will be difficult to suspend from the stadium, and I might not want to be up there for a whole three hours, and I might get into the way of a punt, but none of these are issues to me, nor should they be to you. I just want to be suspended over Lane Stadium in an inflatable easy chair with a cooler of brews suspended right next to me. Maybe on a pulley system so I can move up and down the field as the play moves along. I'd also like to record the plays from this vantage point for further analysis.

In other words, strap me to the ESPN flyingcam and let's horse it up a little.

Thanks

Me

let's just hope you don't get excited/ see Mrs. Horse or it could turn into a not so pretty scene.

Whatever, we're mostly adults here.

Ok I gotta be honest. Anyone even the tiniest bit skeptical about her worst va background?

No, because Whit understands how the business of college sports works. In Whit we trust.

Whit understands how the business of college sports works.

This I agree with but I'm not 100% sold out for the In Whit We Trust because he's continuing to not return a certain chant that is a sacred gameday tradition for Hokies that very ex AD Weaves thoughtlessly disbarred. That being said, yes I concur that Whit is eons superior to Weaves. However, being that this new AAD formerly attended a certain community college in bowels of Morganhole I'm afraid I must remain skeptical. The LU and Mizzou (moreso) are impressive.

I wasn't aware that the Stick It In chant could previously practice law. How dare Jim Weaver prevent a chant the ability to make an honest living (sarc)!
