Is this good for us or them? Who is this guy?
Director of High School Relations for VT.
Had to look it up myself.

IIRC, he did that several times this year just before recruits were signed. It could be either football or basketball.
I think he works mainly for the football team so I'm assuming it's football. He broke the Hopple commit a few weeks back and I recall him breaking a couple more as well.
I have seen him make reference to "VT family is getting bigger" or something similar, usually the same day as a commitment.
Am I the only one who read his tweet in an epic action movie trailer voice?
"Coming soon to a football stadium near yo"
Just throwing this in the first thread I came to...
TKP is trying to sell me Dook championship gear.
Joe, fix that!!!
I'm sitting here in my HOAT shirt reading TKP with my dog, Beamer, and TKP wants to send me free beauty product samples. Seriously.
Better than Dook championship t-shirts.
I believe the ads are gears towards what you frequently search while on the internet(ie: cookies) For example I do photography on the side and I am constantly looking to print photos or business card sales. My adds are a website design service, a business card print business and a lens rental company.
I'm going to guess you read a lot of ACC news, sports news and the other may have been looking at gossip news or magazine articles or just more things geared towards women. I could be wrong but I think that is how it works.
Sooo . . . my husband must be researching beauty products while I'm TKP'ing with the dog.
I believe it called adsense that uses a formula based on your searches, videos, and content views to market ads that interest you. Each time you visit a site you store these bits of information called cookies that then are used by adsense to sort and present ads that may interest you. Kind of creepy if you think about it.
Gotcha. I thought it was pretty funny.
I have an ad for Naked and Afraid. Not sure what The Internet is trying to tell me here.
I got an Asian dating site a year ago and UNC online degree today.
So it tested the water to see if you would fall for the bogus dating site and then having been successful offers you a bogus degree.... yep, seems to be working perfectly
This site wants me to go to college and vtscoop wants to sell me cigars
I don't see any adds...maybe because I pretty much only use the Internet for TKP
oh..and looking up places on google maps
Not so sure. Wanna trade? I've got enough female war paint to last a lifetime. Could always use another rag for dusting.
I'm getting some serious pics about "hottest NFL wives" on the side bar.
And I am not ashamed to say so.
Holy heck, I just got the hottest NFL wives ad! Only one of the two photos was of Tim Tebow!
OK. That is concerning. Creepy even.
The internet now has become self actualized.
Is that an ad? For the NRV band?
Ha! I'm dumb. Wow. Cool story about the graffiti. Everything about it looked photoshopped so I assumed it was a joke.
Here's some background......

Good link!
I like tossing that bridge image out now and then just to see the reactions (the actual graffiti is hard to find). Sadly, IMO, it is hardly ever recognized. I'm fairly well removed from the city of my birth now, but I got a huge kick out of driving around the beltway in the late 70's, working as a messenger for a title insurance company as a teenager and seeing the beautifully brilliant creativity of that graffiti.
I could just imagine tourists wheeling around the Beltway, white knuckles on the wheel, negotiating the curves of a major roadway precariously cut through neighborhoods, suddenly seeing the majestic cathedral appear in the distance, as eyes dart everywhere at once looking for danger from the mayhem of unfamiliar traffic....glancing above while gliding beneath an overpass, and then the scrawled famous phrase subconsciously registers...
"What did that say?", as the cathedral flashes again in the foreground...and minds race to put it all together...
I'm usually opposed to random, tasteless graffiti, but I always thought this one was very witty, and had historical significance. I actually salute those that try to keep it going.
I look at it like the "T" that was added at Scott Stadium. Just brilliant.
So this would have been happening late in the Frodo Lives! graffiti era. Lots of literary graffiti artists in the 70s.
I remember seeing that as far back as about 1971-3.
I know Wiki says 1973 but the timing of a particular trip makes me want to place it earlier than that.
Classic- I remember the original from the 70's, probably coming back to Bethesda from Lefty's basketball camp at UMD :-) Never realized it had reached wikipedia worthy status.
The Wizard of OZ was the first movie I ever saw, and remains a favorite, even though dated and seen dozens of times. I still get sucked in every couple of years and watch it again. I've never seen that grafitti before. Very cool!
I think the ads are wasted on me. I am so focused on the content that I did not even notice that there were ads until someone posted. I got golf courses.
