This is Maximus Doggimus preparing to parachute in behind enemy lines. Note the VT color vest.
Kalshi and other sites are also just crowd-sourced betting markets right? So there's usually a correlation between those odds and what happens but not necessarily causation.
Also just gambling sense that the heavier of a favorite something becomes, there's not a lot of value in betting that, so you take a flyer on something with a high return.
So IDK what's going to happen, but that's just a general grain of salt I have with those sites.
Oh makes sense, videos are blocked on my work computer so mobile I could view it.

Two names I want to bring up outside the James Franklin conversation
Jake Dickert Wake Forest - He did a great job at Wazzu and is having a great season at Wake
Sean Lewis San Diego St. - currently 7-2 at SDSU, has an exciting offense, went 24-31 at Kent State 19-17 in conference. Since he left Kent State is 1-23

# | Hokies Wrestling: Heavyweight Maximus Konopka commits to Hokies a SNL skit where they sang "Chicken Pot, chicken pot chicken pot pie".
It was actually from an episode of the sitcom "Just Shoot Me' in 2000 which did star David Spade- an SNL alum.
The "chicken pot chicken pot chicken pot pie" meme originates from a 2000 episode of the TV show Just Shoot Me!, where comedian David Cross, playing the character Donnie, sang the phrase repeatedly. The scene features Cross's character as a mentally slow employee who suddenly reveals his intelligence by singing the jingle in a distinct, sing-song voice, making it an instantly memorable and often-quoted moment.
Also used as part of stand up comedy show with Jim Gaffigan (in one of his sotto voce parenthetical comments)
I think they are honestly striking out on most of their top candidates...it's hard to say where they might land. Some smoke that they tried to go after Cignetti but that was shut down quickly, Rhule was extended by Nebraska, Brohm also extended. Elko I don't think is realistic. Chesney could be in play but I think he would be down the board quite a bit from where they started.
Chesney to me is a long-term build option. I don't think he's going to generate anywhere near the same splash or buzz as far as recruiting/donor interest, but he is a very good coach I think. Will be interesting to watch wherever he does ultimately land up.
Not sure if this is the one you are referring to, but if it isn't its pretty darn close.

The name Pie came from a SNL skit where they sang "Chicken Pot, chicken pot chicken pot pie". Our dog at the time was a mix of beagle and something and named Peach. Started with Peachie pot, Peachie pot pie, and morphed into Pie. Dog now, not our usual rescue, is a Jug dog. Jack Russell daddy, pug momma, 10-1/2 lbs of cute, with the mitigating of the traits of each. She is named Pie in honor of the original.
Sorry not pics, but I can't do that stuff. lucky I can post at all.
Is Chesney going to be where Penn State lands?
I think it's fairly safe to assume from rumors and rumblings that Chesney is the next in line if Franklin falls through. But from the sound of things, looks like Franklin is pretty close to being finalized.
I wouldn't dare to expose my darling daughter to the scrutiny of the internet, but you do you.
I saw an article earlier today that had Chesney as a 25% chance of being the next head coach.

My dog is named Samwise (because he is the best of friends). The little one is Auri, she is a lab-crackhead mix.
Picture included because I'm not a jerk
Man if that 3x this year's NIL figure is true I'm more excited about that than who we bring in as a HC

# | Hokies Wrestling: Heavyweight Maximus Konopka commits to Hokies My ex and I used to have a dog(that our labs brought home with them one day). We called him 'My dog Spot' which morphed into 'Spy Dog Mot' which eventually morphed to 'Pie Pie" til he passed 15 years later. (side note - he was a wirehaired mutt-weighed about45 lbs but damn he could run like the wind; we paced him down the country road we lived on at over 40mph!)
That was a cool tidbit about how Neo's dad played a game at Cassell when he played in college.
i have a 247 sub. One was a troll post, one was basically a bait and switch about the wrestling recruit like the other replier mentioned. If you go to Kolby Crawford's stream on youtube about Franklin that he did last night https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MdBbpwbR4aY you can pretty much get the gist of where the 247 insiders are at currently with this
Not sure if this was shared somewhere else, but here is a 20 min interview with Neo. Starts at about the 7-min mark. First 7 mins talk about ACC basketball, mostly the UNC and VT weekend game results as good outcomes for the ACC.

He reveals he has never seen the Matrix. He likes Luka's game and takes some of his best moves, but plays his own style. Overall, interesting interview and longest I've seen of Neo yet, but the hosts are meh.
I hope they're giving you a raise!

# | Baylor Athletic Director and CFP Chair Mack Rhoades on Leave of Absence This kind of thing happened at Baylor, you say? I'm shocked
Materials for the BOV meeting have been posted on bov.vt.edu so everyone can see the agenda. There is a closed session lunch meeting of the executive committee regarding a "personnel matter" that probably has everyone buzzing. From what I hear, I would highly doubt it's related to football in any way. I've been wrong before, but I don't think that's the topic.
Embezzlement it is then. Also it's Baylor title IX are fine as long as a firm with the initials PH doesn't get involved. Heck, they'll help cover up a murder so really it has to be stealing money from rich people, that's what gets you in trouble when other horrendous crimes don't.
Richard Johnson said that Chesney would be a fantastic hire for PSU but they won't do it because you can sell that to the fanbase.
