Man it would be so college savage if we had that song in the playlist for every athletic matchup (may they be few) against Biberty

I want to see if he can flip any of the Top 5 recruits in the state. South Carolina is on the ropes and Mich had quite a few. If he starts flipping VA kids it will send shockwaves.

EDIT: Just checked Rivals VA Top 10: 1 to Sakerlina, 3 to Mich, 1 to Cuse, 1 to Rutgers, 1 to UGA, 1 to Clempsun, 2 undecided. man am I sick of this shit

He's a proud Nittany Lion. If he does leave, that's huge!

It's notable that Franklin gave him his first opportunity at the P5 level, which happened to be his alma mater.

I was only on the 4th floor of Thomas and we essentially ran the one fan in/one fan out setup except for like Jan-Feb

100% agree.

Similar to VT's research on helmet ratings, I think there is an opportunity for a multidisciplinary research into athletic operations, combining CS, stats, business, and the atheletic department. Could be funded by industry.

I was the 11th floor. I remember intentionally deactivating the thermostat so the heater would turn off because the upper floors would be scorching late winter and early spring. Though, to my knowledge, we had a functionong window.

Edit: The fire alarms were such a pain in the ass.

Agree and disagree here.

Baseball is a lot of isolated 1v1 with a lot of statistical data in each match up. Every pitch has dozens of useful data points. Moneyball is now harder with baseball because the rich teams have as much if not more analytics than the low-budget teams. And when used correctly, teams like the Dodgers end up dominating every facet of the game.

Football has not had it's moneyball moment, tbh. But I do think there is opportunity. Machine-learning models are great at detecting signal and patterns where humans cannot. And they can handle a crap-ton of data. I think, for instance, that optimal allocation of money can be easily learned by models. I also think that models can learn which player attributes are best for schemes and learn how to get more value out of schemes on a budget.

If I was VT's football operations, I would really see if we could take advantage of the well ranked academic statistics and CS programs in the country and leverage it into improving the operation.

She was top floor, not too bad if an elevator worked. Finally found the source of a smell, window was leaking into the heater unit below the window. Never could get them to clean the mold out or fix the leak. They weekly had to clean the water out of the unit. Heater never worked and temps got down to 50F in the room.

And that is the kind of guy we need at the helm. Someone who will bring in whoever he wants, regardless of the consequences to his business acquaintances or friends.

The fact that Pry only brought Michael Hazel with him and didn't bring any players or position coaches never set well with me.

Slusher left a lot to be desired in 2009, I can't imagine how it's holding up now. Great view from the roof though.

I don't even hate Penn State.

But I do want to see Virginia Tech recover our football program, and if it's because Penn State made a mistake, all the better after all the times they stole our recruits.
