# | Hokies' Open Practice Reveals Rapid Pace, Injuries and A Glimpse at the Future Sounded way more like he actively dislikes it and begrudgingly accepts that it's basically required to placate the fans. And I'm fine with that. Goes right along with his all business persona.

# | Actually sensible NCAA Reform, Schools now pay for parents on Official Visits I really think they're gonna keep the parents on campus. Probably at The Inn. I'm guessing if parents choose to stay off campus we'll just reimburse them, but I'm thinking What's default preference will be to have the parents on campus so we can wine and dine them.
This is about the tamest hospitality rider for a major act I have ever seen. J Lo sets the standard, but this actually just makes me think Luda is a decent human being, assuming this is his standard rider. Plus, good on him for practicing safe sex.

# | Actually sensible NCAA Reform, Schools now pay for parents on Official Visits Wait, I thought recruits on official visits always stayed on campus.

# | Actually sensible NCAA Reform, Schools now pay for parents on Official Visits And this holds true in every facet of recruiting. Not to open an old wound, but when Josh Sweat was nearing his decision, we sent every single assistant coach to visit him in the week leading up to his announcement. Do you think there was another recruit that got a home visit from the whole staff that cycle?
Blue chips are treated like blue chips. The problem starts when the fawning continues after the LOI is signed. First day of practice, it doesn't matter how many stars you had.

# | Actually sensible NCAA Reform, Schools now pay for parents on Official Visits I really don't think there is. They aren't even students at the University yet. I know there are guidelines about what a school can and cannot do on an official visit (no simulating a game environment, etc.) but I don't think there's anything that says all recruits must be treated equally on campus. I mean, why would this be the one area in recruiting where the NCAA says you can't play favorites in the recruiting process.
...because the Maroon Effect game is later in the fall, when it's colder?
The Orange Effect design is great. The Maroon Effect design is freaking epic.

# | Actually sensible NCAA Reform, Schools now pay for parents on Official Visits Based on what? So long as all recruits (and now 2 parents/guardians) get free room and board on their official, is there anything that says all recruits must receive comparable accommodations? That doesn't happen in any other area of recruiting. Five and high four star recruits always get more attention in their recruiting than the average recruit. That's just the way it is. Unless there's actually a rule that every official visit must be comparable, I see no reason not to wine and dine the top recruits a little more.

I'm not sure there's that much leniency for older women dating younger men. Certainly Western society has loosened up on this a bit over the last decade or two, but in general we notice an older woman/younger man much more than and older man/younger woman.
Not to say there's actually anything wrong with an older woman dating a younger man, just that it doesn't seem as socially acceptable.
Goosebumps.
Our best days are ahead, ladies and gents.
The fact that Wiles and Foster in the picture makes me think we're targeting for defense. Put 20 good pounds on him, he could be a beast at backer or DE.
Only works if a head coach is a man of his word, and so far Fuente seems like a very straight shooter. I'd also imagine it would be really hard to hold this policy if a program sends out a lot of non-committable offers.
I think Bucky got a much longer look at QB, didn't he? It wasn't until he actually played TE on the scout team during his redshirt year that he made the switch.
I have not heard of this before. When did Skipper have a hiccup?
Not to feed into the hysteria, but are crystal balls starting to go Tennessee's way?
Great measurables for a WR. As open as he is to a position change, I wonder if he'll get a Greg Boone/Travon McMillian sort of look at QB.
He doesn't have a mother to influence him? Was he grown in the same government facility as Sam Rogers?
After watching this a couple more times, I really like this guy. It seems like he is all about mastering the fundamentals, then building something great on that foundation. And someone needed to explain to Strohman a long time ago that running away makes the lane longer. Now carry that knowledge with you into punt returns, Greg.

I was driving to a job interview. I had the radio on, and as I was flipping channels I caught the tail end of a news report about something at Virginia Tech. I had a buddy who was doing graduate work at VT at the time. I gave him a call but his wife answered. My buddy was in class. She hadn't had the news on yet that morning, so she knew nothing about what was going on. She thought maybe it had something to do with wind damage, because there had been nearly hurricane-force winds in Blacksburg that morning. I said okay, hung up and kept driving.
The interview was in another town, so it was a long drive. A few minutes later I caught a full mews report and found out about the shootings. I called my friend's wife back and told her to find out where he was.
The rest of the drive was surreal, because the number grew with each successive report. Radio doesn't drop everything for breaking news coverage the way TV does, so in between songs it would go from "Seven people have been killed in a shooting on the campus of Virginia Tech..." to "Twelve dead at Virginia Tech... " to "Reports are coming in that there are at least 20 victims in the mass shooting in Blacksburg this morning..." It just kept creeping up, which alone in my car made it feel like I was living through it as it happensed. I don't think the number had been set at 32 by the time I got to the interview.
As for my buddy, he was okay. As it turned out, he had just stepped off the bus in front of Burruss as the shots started to ring out in Norris. He was close enough to hear them.
It's like looking into the future of LOLUVA athletics.
If you want the truth on a kid go the the lunch ladies and office assistants because those are the people who give these kids things. You see the a better picture of people when they are given things.
The best measure of a man's character is how he treats those from whom he stands to gain nothing.
