Soup's-erstition #25 Thread

SOUP OR SALAD?
on September 25, 2020, 1:42 PM | 25 comments

Much like Bruce Wayne, sitting in my office on a cold, dreary, and rainy day; I noticed a signal. I must accept that responsibility and answer the call.

Back by popular demand, and when I say demand, I mean one person (looking at you gobble gobble chumps), and when I say "popular", I mean that he's a TKP regular and has Nien Nunb as an avatar, so you can't get more popular than Star Wars.

Similar to The Alamo, what started out as a singular rally cry two seasons ago, has now been remembered.

Despite what some of us may think or feel during these difficult times, I would like to pick out some select quotes from one of the most influential Presidential speeches of all time:

"We can't be consumed by our petty differences anymore. We will be united in our common interests. Perhaps it's fate that today is the 25th of September, and you will once again be fighting for our freedom... Not from tyranny, oppression, or persecution... but from annihilation. We are fighting for our right to play. To exist. And should we win the day, the 26th of September will no longer be known as a normal Saturday, but as the day the Hokie Nation declared in one voice: "We will not go quietly into the night!" We will not vanish without a fight! We're going to live on! We're going to survive! Tomorrow night we celebrate our Season Opening Day!"

Some of you all may not believe in superstition and that's ok.

But this is what I believe: I believe that when I typed out the name of this thread and went back to count the number of characters, unbeknownst to me, it totaled 25...

I believe when I woke up this morning I wouldn't be writing a #25 thread on the 25th of September...

So, without further Freddy Adu, drop us those sweet #25 superstitions.

Seeing that today is my birthday, I'll be drinking with zero regrets! Also, I'm currently watching our 2010 ACC Championship game demolition of FSU, hoping for a repeat performance tomorrow night.
LET'S GO!!!

My usual pregame ritual is this Enter Sandman Cover and a shot of Wild Turkey. I guess I'll just find a way to sneak 25 of those in tomorrow.

Rumor is, Metallica's tour bus was seen in downtown Blacksburg...this can mean only one thing...a live virtual Metallica concert from the East stands while the game is played!

Not a superstition, but my prediction for the game? Even with 25 players out due to contact tracing, the 25 players we have left, all wearing #25 to confuse the heck out of NCST, beat them by 25 after #25 seals it late with a late-game 25-yard blocked punt return for TD. All 25 fans at the game roar. On Saturday, after all of the Big Ten teams are added back into the poll, VT drops to #25 and is a 25-point favorite against Duke next week.

I just need to make sure I have 25 sips worth of bourbon in my rock glass in time for kickoff.

My BAC will probably be .25. FC Köln game starts at 0930, and so does my day drinking.

I will probably have to pause and rewind 25 times during the game while dealing with a 2.5 year old and a 2.5 month old.

Plan for the worst and hope for the best, not the other way around.
