Jeez. You know some of this does sound familiar now that you mention it. I was none too thrilled about it either, sauces or not he was good people. Probably still is.

I read scuttlebutt at one point toward the end that he was simply pretty much copying from behind paywall scoops on 247 and regurgitating here as an insider. Not sure if that's 100% accurate or not, but a lot of clout chasers out there.

Willard's hints/scoops were great. "Gobblers!" or "Lads!" And always off to the pub.

I think that individual's sources may have slowly phased out in the post-Beamer era so he isn't active anymore.

Guinness Chocolate Sauce

  • 1 ยฝ cups Guinness
  • 1 ยฝ cups granulated sugar
  • 1 cup cocoa powder
  • 1 dash salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Put everything but the vanilla in a sauce pan and warm over low heat, whisking until it simmers. Turn off the heat and add your vanilla. Let cool.

Good on ice cream, to make adult chocolate milk, etc. If you want more intense chocolate flavor, add a teaspoon of espresso powder. Add more sugar if you want it sweeter, but I feel like less is more here.

Edit: Cocoa powder is hydrophobic, so you really have to make sure to heat/whisk it to get it all mixed in. Be patient, it will get there eventually.

Edit 2: formatting

He had a decent source, I believe within the equipment department, that left the program either when Fuente took over or during his first couple of seasons.

I don't remember exactly when BAG got ran off, but towards the end he was just reading the tea leaves. I wish he was still on here and I wish he would've just let it go after he lost his source.

Yeah when the smoke really started late last week I was hopeful that meant we would be savvy and announce at the end of the week so that it drove attention and discussion leading right into Gameday having a whole segment about it. Hopefully that can be the case this week

Another to aggregate in:

Buddy connected to the University told me this evening that Virginia Tech offered a best and final deal last night and it was verbally accepted with paperwork expected to be signed in the next couple days.

Also, two different posters on 247 are saying the same thing.

We ran him off. He'd come to us with info and people challenged him on it and he didn't want to blow up his sources, so he quit. It really made me mad because he had a good source with good info that he was feeding us and certain people pissed him off because they thought their sauce was more correct and they HAD to be right. Probably the most mad I've ever been at the TKP Community at large, and that's considering the COVID threads and posters like Bender/Shockwave and DCWilson.

So, here is what I am hearing...

James Franklin with either be the new head coach at VT or he won't be. I can't give up my #sauces, but they seem to be pretty confident with this take.

I'm in a similar boat, but as a Working Capital fund, we're still working, until the bucket is empty. Leadership has been rather vague about when that would happen, and furlough letters would be distributed, along with who is going to be excepted and who is not. All we know is it's close, definitely in this month. "Any day now" has been a constant refrain in the office.
