# | Virginia Tech Drumline Performs "Stick It In" at halftime of VT-GT Basketball Game Considering the longstanding tradition of the tuba players playing the hokey pokey on the goal line between the third and fourth quarters, we're a program that kind of embraces silly.

# | Virginia Tech Drumline Performs "Stick It In" at halftime of VT-GT Basketball Game that being said, Alum07 was merely being humorous with the Jim Carrey image, which I upvoted.
Absolutely 100% agree with this. I was replying specifically to the" it was later found to be essentially entirely fabricated" comment. Just because her story was fabricated (or at least some key details within it can't be corroborated) that does not provide proof she was not raped.
But yeah, absolutely, Alum07 was in no way, shape or form out of line in any way.
Cheesesteak? Cheesepie, aka cheesecake? Chocolate and marscapone cheese, on lady fingers, aka tiramisu?
Sweet tea is a beverage, not a food.
Boom.

# | Virginia Tech Drumline Performs "Stick It In" at halftime of VT-GT Basketball Game I don't doubt that a lot of her details are fabricated. That could mean she's lying. But that's also what the mind does when a traumatic event is being repressed. There are several documented case studies of rape victims fabricating alternate versions of their rape, and in "both directions," if you will: some rape victims reconstruct the memory of the rape to make it consensual (or at least feasible that the rapist believed it was consensual), while some dramatically increase the violence and brutality of the event (a byproduct, perhaps, of a society with a disposition to believe that only violent rapes are "legitimate."
She might be lying. She might have been raped. And, unfortunately, her account of the events and the inconsistencies within it shed absolutely no light on which it is.

# | Virginia Tech Drumline Performs "Stick It In" at halftime of VT-GT Basketball Game Ouch.
Not what I was implying.
So when you click on the links of Austin Clark's and Tyrell Smith's names, it takes you to the player profiles of a senior defensive tackle at Cal and a sophomore O lineman at UMass, respectively.
Glad to see the ACC blog maintaining the level of excellence that Heather Dinich set as the standard.

# | Virginia Tech Drumline Performs "Stick It In" at halftime of VT-GT Basketball Game Actually you're kind of superimposing a Victorian mindset of sex on Elizabethan England. There was much less sexual taboo in Shakespeare's day, so the bawdy humor wouldn't necessarily be considered lowbrow or "for the rabble." Sex was just sex in Bill's day, so he used sexual themes all throughout his plays.

My entire perception of you just changed.

# | Virginia Tech Drumline Performs "Stick It In" at halftime of VT-GT Basketball Game Just gonna throw out there that misremembering details such as date and location in the event of traumatic assault is a pretty well documented psychological phenomenon, as is sympathizing with your aggressor, downplaying the event, and having a disjointed demeanor when discussing the event at various times after the occurrence.
Considering all of the above would be used to invalidate testimony, the entire judicial system is pretty well skewed against victims of sexual assault on a fundamental level.
Don't be so sure it was fabricated.

# | Virginia Tech Drumline Performs "Stick It In" at halftime of VT-GT Basketball Game For the sake of clarification, do you actively dislike the chant, or are you neutral to it? Because the opinion you articulate (well) above sounds more like a neutrality, like it has no fond place in your heart.

# | Virginia Tech Drumline Performs "Stick It In" at halftime of VT-GT Basketball Game I always assumed those that were offended by the Stick It In chant were sexually repressed morality police.
I've seen nothing here to contradict that opinion.
If you find yourself in Chicago, the Billy Goat Tavern does actually make a pretty good cheezborger. If you're a fan of the old Olympia Cafe SNL skits from the John Belushi days, they still do the whole schtick. The original on Lower North Michigan is the one to go to. They opened one at Navy Pier but like everything else there it feels kind of tacky.
Perfect for an Italian beef. Not so much for a burger.
Three terms I could live my whole life without hearing again: gluten-free, organic and Paleo.
Sweet. New place to check out Labor Day weekend.
Might I recommend #teamigorbars?
Leg for knowing the actual, justifiable reason to give a shit if something is gluten free.
For seven figures it better be.
I was always a fan of the Big Top Burger at the Hokie House. I liked that they used Texas Toast instead of buns.
Outside of Mike's Grill, Rivermill makes a damn good burger and, at least when I was on campus, they had the best beer selection of the downtown bars.
Mike's is good for lunch, Rivermill better suited to dinner IMO.
