We're in trouble - The Giraffe just actually (sort-of) had some kind things to say about VT...

Of course, her undying love for Miami is in there as well...

Heather?

Google search shows that giraffes may make sounds that are impossible for humans to hear...but can "hum"...

So I wouldn't pay much attention to her non-sense humming, she probably can't even keep a tune...

Heh Heh. The Giraffe!

I know folks around here don't care for her, but she makes a really good point here.

I agree. Until we prove otherwise, we are second fiddle to Clemson in the ACC right now. We have our chance to make our statement Saturday and even if we lose, we still have a pretty good shot at a heck of a season.

Can we stop making a big deal out of everything Dinich posts? And can we stop referring to her as giraffe? Just feel like we're better than that.

I have no idea why my username is VT_Warthog.

And it doesn't need to be posted here in a new thread. If someone wants to read it, they will...don't drive clicks for it.

Exactly. She's a sports writer. She might like us sometimes (rarely) or might be critical at times (often) but she is paid for her opinion. No need to attack her.

I do however still stand by my attempts to sign her up for spam email.

Seriously.

Insulting someone's body type because of her opinions on our football team is childish and disappointing that it gets as much traction as it does on here.

There was an entire thread consisting of little more than incest jokes a month ago. I think we fall into a creative comment lull from time to time.

VT Class of '12 (MSE), MVBone, Go Hokies!

You guys are absolutely right - I think my reference to "Giraffe" actually came from the TKP Glossary but it was inappropriate.

Mea culpa

My point in making the post wasn't really to ridicule her but to say "Wow - even people that have kind of enjoyed hatin on VT are saying nice things about us - be wary."

Hey man, this is just my .10, but I don't think or feel you need to apologize for anything. Stick to your guns. Like I said, just my .10. You didn't post anything offensive or controversial according to the Community Guidelines.

this is just my .10

Inflation Will get after you.

I see what the point of your post is, my beef is everyone here just gets so defense when she says things. No worries!

I don't see a problem, as far as TKP community is concerned, she is kind of like the opposite of Emma Watson. Cue Gif...

Edit: Also, if you're opposed to these type of comments, then you must be equally or even more opposed to the "Hatin' on..." threads, right? Those have much worse insults than "Giraffe"

The tone of hatin' on is generally facetious. Insults there are usually farfetched and not based on facts.

I'll take that as a fair point.

I take all Heather Dinnich posts to be as equally far-fetched and in good spirit as the "Hatin' On" thread...

She's obviously knowledgeable and qualified, but it's fun to treat her as the polar opposite of Emma Watson... it's just all in good fun IMO...

But enjoy some behind the scenes footage of Heather skiing:

Just imagine how much the hype train kicks into high gear when we beat Clemson this weekend. But she's not wrong. If we finish the year 11-1 or 12-0 with an ACC Championship, there's absolutely no reason we won't be in the playoff. But obviously, we can make things a lot more interesting by winning this weekend, so lets just do that instead.

1-0 bro. 1-0. Let's not get ahead of ourselves
