aTm is the least SEC school in the SEC. And hence my favorite.
Holy crap I had that same mouse pad when I was at VT. Bought it at the bookstore my first day on campus.
Well, I mean, best southern college town is going to be slanted in favor of the SEC. Their only limitation is the population limit, whereas some ACC schools are geographically excluded.
I refuse to be excited about any headlines that break today.
I'll accept some angst and sadness now for the element of surprise in September.
You also know there is no way all those offers are commitable. It isn't mathematically possible. A good recruiter will drive the point home that we are giving our word, you sign with us, we will take care of you. If you commit to Bama and then one of the other 27 offers gets onboard that for whatever reason that staff things is a little sexier, good luck.
Which is why they should have saved Doomsday to be the central villain in another film. I get it, DC has to play some serious catching up to establish their own cinematic universe to compete with Marvel, but this film could have been straight Batman vs Superman, with the ending being finding out that Lex is a criminal mastermind. Have him abscond with the Kryptonian ship and Zod's body, with Batman and Superman putting aside their differences and vowing to bring Luthor to justice.
Next movie, Luthor has deduced how to genetically engineer Doomsday and unleashes him on the world. Handle it like a Godzilla movie, where Doomsday surfaces and lays waste to a city, then disappears. Superman and Batman come together to find Lex and defeat Doomsday. You showcase Batman as the World's Greatest Detective, finding clues of Lex's whereabouts and developing methods to weaken Doomsday. It becomes clear that despite all their power and ingenuity, Batman and Superman are outgunned by Doomsday. THEN Wonder Woman makes her intro, Supes dies after three films, Batman and Wonder Woman start to assemble the Justice League.
I get they're playing catch up, but the best part of the Marvel cinematic universe were those first few films where it became obvious they were building toward something huge. By cramming two movies into one, DC has shortchanged its fans of that a little bit. I'm hoping now maybe the pace can slow down a tad.
We broked it....
In all seriousness, though, this horse and pony show is starting to piss me off. They put together this contest geared toward college students and...oh my GOSH!!!...can you believe people are trying to exploit the voting system to their advantage?
Know your audience, people.
An aggressive recruiter would have a field day dissecting those numbers for a recruit and his parents.
Oh, and what's this? We just happen to have an aggressive recruiter as our head coach.
Vance Vice was Fuente's OL coach the entire time he was at Memphis. They went from a disaster to one of the top offenses in the nation. Vice has already proven he can coach the OL to suit Fuente's offense.
Breathe.
I know that the athletics department owes Wes Worsham a debt of gratitude for all he has done, but I think it would be a wonderful gesture if Wes recommended renaming the playing surface in Lane Stadium to "Beamer Field." I just think it's appropriate that we play football on a field named after the man who built the program into a powerhouse.
Animatronic "Dancin' Beamer" is a must add.
Post hoc is one of the easiest fallacies to spot for most people, and one of the first that's taught in a logic class. My 11 year old daughter is good at spotting post hoc fallacies.
A lot of people have more problem recognizing a cum hoc fallacy, because they seem more intuitive. If events are coincident, we tend to group them together cognitively and the association is often subconscious. You can preach correlation doesn't imply causation all day, but actually seeing it in practice is harder.
It's more than just changing I addresses. I've tried that and it still says my vote has been recorded. I think it's something to do with the site's cookie settings.
Probably hasty generalization.
I tweeted every Blacksburg-related twitter account. Roanoke Times picked one of them up and retweeted it, so hopefully that helps.
I wonder if the university is officially supporting the effort. They have decimated their competition the whole way through.
I just tweeted every Blacksburg-related Twitter account asking for a retweet.
EDIT: Roanoke Times just retweeted one of them! That's 36.9K followers.
Okay, what browser and method are you using? Everything I'm trying now tells me my vote has already been recorded after one vote.
New round is open and the CAPTCHA is gone! Athens will be a tough out. Let's go, Hokies.
EDIT: It does not appear that incognito tab voting works, even though the CAPTCHA has been removed. Let me know if anyone finds a way around that.
If they do this, after how monumental Negan's arrival was in the comics, I can't help but think of it as anything other than the moment the show jumps the shark. When you start relying on fake-outs and gimmicks to maintain your viewership, it's already over. I hate to think that they are already squeezing blood from a stone, with all the great comic storylines we haven't seen translated to the screen yet, but first Glenn's POV trickeration death, now this.
Doesn't change the fact that your reply was a cum hoc ergo propter hoc fallacy.
Hopefully after this season you won't be needing the services of your therapist anymore.
There is a nasty rumor that Negan's kill will be done with POV cinematography, and the identity of his victim will be a cliffhanger resolved in the season 7 premiere.
I actually think they might be basing that storyline on the Flashpoint arc, since it was Flash who appeared to Bruce after the Knightmare sequence.
