Think bigger, we need to flip Sweeney from TTU and get a 5* Edge.
I know our recruiting ranking is solid right now and we're getting some good guys, but it would still be nice to get some actual 4 stars. Missed on a couple here recently. Hopefully that changes here in the next few days/weeks
That's a bummer. Even though newspapers were already dying out when I was a student (like I don't think I ever saw anyone reading any other paper), I always liked picking up a CT someone left behind and reading it before and during class.

Being so often on a motorcycle, weather apps are an important part of my day.
I use reminders, alarms, timers and calendars constantly.
Almost never Facetime. Infrequently phone, commonly teams or other messaging. These things are important for a guy that works shift work.
translate, to me, is under travel cause thats the only time I use it, but i could see where others use it more often. I do love nfc payments.
I dont use reninders, or FaceTime. I prefer to shop in stores and I never look at the weather anyways. I dont use notes enough that it really makes or breaks it for me.
Though having internet on my phone means no one asks me why I have a laptop stand in my bathroom so that's a plus.
I will add that my father (type 1 diabetic) has a insulin pump, blood sugar monitor, hearing aids all connected to his phone which has been super helpful. I think having a computer ink your pocket with wireless connectivity has been amazing for medical issues.
"Data science and AI" - we are going to have data informed decisions where the data say x and we do y because why not.
Don't want him if he doesn't want to be here but, the clowning is a maturity deal. Probably will end up like a certain OT that was ranked top in the nation and did absolutely nothing at UNC or now Syracuse.
Sucks but not unexpected. Print media is a money-losing dinosaur.
Having a CT to browse through when you had a break between classes was such a relaxing habit.
Now you spend that time with your face shoved in a phone browsing Brain rot TikToks while your phone collects every bit of data it can on you so Mark Zuckerberg et al. can make money on targeted ads.
Its simple things like this that my kids generation will probably never experience, and I don't really think they are better for it.
I saw an article recently that suggested that the prime era to have been born would have been like 1987-89 because at that age you would have experienced the pre-Internet, smartphone era and also be young enough to acclimate to modern technology relatively seamlessly.
Thanks for sharing. Always enjoyed CT as a student. Thought they did some good stuff. Hopefully they continue to publish great work via their online medium.

Google Translate. Apple Wallet. Reminders, Notes, FaceTime, Amazon/online shopping, weather... all tremendous conveniences.
1999 is great except for one thing that smart phones excel at: travel. I dont want to go back to not having tickets, car/hotel rentals, maps, etc not easily accessible. Tracking flight when picking people up at the airport is amazing. I would be fine with no email, flip phones, golden eye on the n64, and all, but having travel at my fingertips is so much of an improvement.
Oh and when did Tivo come out, that was great.
My old 2001 Silverado I had in college I sold for $5000 at 289,000 miles on it and only died because a semi crashed into it. My father had older Chevy work trucks for years that would easily eclipse 3,000. All of the new trucks are dogshit. Even the Toyotas
Yeah what was that about
I think its less insane than doing it in the BCS era where they would need to recruit better and get votes.
Still insane, but I don't think the approach Indiana took is that different than Beamers approach. We had a ton of stsrtees that were no where close to athletic as their backups, but the played because they produced. Heck, if I said pick a hokie that leads their franchise in tackles everyone would guess Bruce and be wrong (great guess though as hes 2nd), but who would have ever thought James Anderson would be the answer. Who thought Cody Grimm would start in the NFL. We had defenses loaded with guys that did there assignments well and produced well but didn't have the athletism that most teams playing at the level Bud had VT playing. VT has the number 1 defense and it places guys in the NFL, Bama has the number 1 defense and they have 4 1st rounders. Frank and Bud made their living on guys that did their job and produced reliably. Cig is just a better talent evaluator and has money backing him that VT dreams of.
This sucks. I always liked reading it in class. I saw someone mention the other day that 1999 would have been a great year to stop society technologically. I think 2015 at the max.
Guy #1 at the bar: For almost 30 years, my wife and I were both so happy.
Guy #2 at the bar: Oh man, what happened?
Guy #1 at the bar: We met.
Editor's note - Actually, my wife and I are very happy together.
Also saw that the wrestling program just received a $1,000,000 gift
Ouch. What he say fuck us for?
4 🌟 OL Elijah Hutcheson clowned the Hokies to set his mom off. Put on a VT hat but flipped it to Florida after getting his mom to react.
A sign of the Times.
He was a starting pitcher who played more than a half and went to the bench with the leave before a blown save (and collarbone).
"The ROI is real"
I've been reading a lot recently that is indicating this is a questionable take. The enshittification business model makes makes me question its long term value.
