About two weeks ago, one of our neighbors accidentally disrupted a wild Turkey nest. The mother was killed by a hay mower, and half of the clutch was destroyed. Thankfully he called us over because he knew we had an incubator. We collected the 7 remaining eggs hoping that mabye one would survive.
Today, I drove into town because of reasons, and who should I meet but Bucky Hodges. This was exciting and all, but when I got home, what should I find but 7 happy and healthy little wild Turkey babies.
Now, for those of you who are playing at home, Bucky Hodges wears jersey number 7. Clearly, the forces of nature are all lining up to tell us something about Virginia Tech football, but I have no idea what it could possibly mean.

Wild Turkey and 7 & 7. I'll drink to that!
I propose to decree this the official tailgate drink of Labor Day weekend!
For the past 11 years, thousands of turkey's have been slaughtered an eaten just days before we play LOLUVa. This has failed to affect the outcome. I'm not sure there's a strong connection between the plight of real turkeys and they distant cousins, the hokies.
Nah, man, it's the wild turkey that's the connection. It used to be a big positive sign if we would see a wild turkey on the way to the game when I lived in Giles. Farmed turkeys pale in comparison, actually, FAIL in comparison to their wild cousins.
For what it's worth domestic turkeys will die of hypothermia if it starts to rain because they don't know to get out of the rain.
Clearly Bucky Hodges is some kind of turkey whisperer
Topic Score: +7
We need to get to the bottom of this
Saw this comment. Noticed the post was up to +9. Considered down voting to help restore validity of comment. Up voted anyway
We just need to leg it all the way to +77
In the meantime, the total score will be an accurate measure of Bucky's current height, in feet.
He's even taller in person.
Actually, when he sits, so much of his height is how leggy that he is that he ends up looking normal height when he sits down. He is huge though. Built like a tank that catches footballs.
ITT: drug use
I also recently was driving through a storm when enter sandman rolled onto the radio and the skies cleared like I was driving into a sanctuary
didn't know what to do seeing as the last time my brother called me about omens we lost the opener (Boise)...course that was a little different he drove into a storm as enter sandman came on
WHAT DOES IT ALL MEAN?!
This coffee tastes like sh!t.
That's because it is shit Austin
It's a bit nutty
love the bird! Fighting gobblers are the most intimidating creatures herded by a man named BUD FOSTER!
If anyone is curious, Here is my border collie watching over all the litte baby poults.
That is awesome.
Were'd the pic go? Would love to see it.
"Poults"... I just learned something. This is what we should call recruits once they sign their LOI.
You gotta click the word "here"
Sorry about the picture. I wanted to embed it but couldn't get the imgur to give me the direct link on my phone.
Thanks Mozart, I didn't see the change in color of the "Here". Rock, that's pretty cool. Can you please keep us all appraised of how they are doing?
Obviously a Wild TurkEy package is in the works and nature is excited... all maroon, all TE, all TurkEy.
Can't figure what kind of omen this is. Does it mean we play in the Independence bowl, against LSU in the national championship, something else?
Gotta say, man, that strikes me as one cool mint.
