TIMEOUT!

I can imagine no more rewarding a career. And any man who may be asked in this century what he did to make his life worthwhile, I think can respond with a good deal of pride and satisfaction:
“I served in the United States Navy"

"Woah. You can't just go calling timeouts like that. You gotta save those, man. There are some countries that use them as currency. I can't remember which ones off the top of my head, but they're out there." - Coach FML

Damn it feels good to be a Hokie!

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

D'oh!

Did you know I used to be a cop?

It's ok, Mike. Al Groh had his part in this as well.

You did your job, Mike. They didn't hire you to win football games. Just to steal recruits from us. You did pretty well there for a while. Too bad expectations changed when you started getting the 4* and 5* guys.

I want to get to the point where incoming college freshman weren't alive the last time UVA had the cup

None of my 4 boys have ever seen LOLUVA posses the cup.

Yep, my kids don't know a world where UVa has beat us and I want it to continue that way.

My #1 remaining goal for this season is to maintain possession.

10000 days would just be lovely.

I know many of the games in the last decade have been close (not 38-0*, obviously), but I see stats like this and can't help but think "we may never lose to LOLUVa again."

EDIT: LOLUVa fans probably thought the same thing going into the 1905 matchup riding an 8 game win streak.

*ironically, LOLUVa blanked Tech 38-0 in their first meeting October 5th, 1895. Gobbler fans had to deal with this for years following that game:

No, it was a cache of Zimas that had been stockpiled when the factory closed.

I want to be inducted into The Old Guard having never lost the Cup. It's what grants the Rats amnesty from their demerits each fall!
