In the FT MBA program with the Aggies, my Financial Accounting Professor (also Dean Emeritus of the Mays Business School and CFO of TAMU), was a strong candidate for President of VPI&SU when Dr. Sands took the job. I personally believe he would have been a better President, and left VT in an even stronger position. Dr. Strawser was born in Md, but his father taught accounting at UVA and VT, so he spent considerable time in both Hooville and the Burg.
Culturally, he was a fit, too. He cares immensely about his students, staff, and the larger university community.
We often chatted about how VT and TAMU are very much sister schools. He also values extracurriculars, and particularly college football.
For example: We broke down the financial and economic benefits of having a strong FBS program. We also dissected why Jimbo Fisher needed to go, purely from an over compensation and financial perspective. I do not believe Dr. Strawser would have tolerated VT Football languishing, the way Dr. Sands did.
I personally saw more of Ut Prosim and Invent the Future mentality in Dr. Strawser, than Sands.

Wasn't Brewer better in his second year until he got injured?
Sorry to hear that. One work F-250 has 350k miles and is still going strong. The other work short bed F-250 for plowing has 175k and is working great. My personal 2016 F-150 has 95k miles and no problems other than when a mouse chewed on a wiring harness.
I'll do my best!
Never a dull moment owning a boat. I too have broken a winch strap, though didn't have much of an issue with it. Put a floor jack under the back of the trailer and jack it up, which will cause the front end to drop down. Make sure to chock the wheels on the front end so the trailer doesn't roll forward when you jack up. Hopefully you'll be able to get it to drop close to the hitch. I'd advise a competent helper on this one to watch the trailer hitch as it falls.
Chevy. It's a fucking crime how GM has built these vehicles to die under 200k. I've got a transmission shudder in my '15 Silverado at 196k miles. I even deleted the AFM kit and dealt with the wiring harness issues. So frustrating because it would have been paid off by the end of the year but now I'm truck shopping under shit economic conditions and high interest rates. I've been a bowtie man my entire life but am tired of the trucks dying. I just rented a 2014 Tundra on Turo and drove it 1400 miles to two different art shows. Good truck except for the seats. My god they are awful. With driving 25,000 miles a year, I can't have a backache due to the seats. I'm not sure what I'm going to do. I will not buy a Ford.
Oh man, hadn't thought about that. Was tyrod the last guy to show improvement from one season to the next?

My comment is more funny and schadenfreude Absolutely not anything negative.
Let's be honest, Drones is going to be a TE.
Unlike so many prior coaching staffs, let's hope we can actually see development from this one. Know you can't judge based on 1 player developing or not. But it feels like for 10-15 years we've recruited lots of "athletes" that rarely develop. Some do, but the end of the Beamer years and the Fuente years ...
And God, don't even get me started on the last time a VT QB showed any improvement year-over-year.
Drones is toast.....
Going head to head with Kyron Drones is comical as much as I think Drones is better than what we saw for the most part.
You just made me way more excited with that. He's barely played and is already a borderline 4 star and is a good basketball player (I already knew that part)? This dude is already a decent WR but he's basically 100% upside and athleticism. He's Antonio Gates.
Yup, i think i would've preferred TB but i feel we still outmatch montreal
That's a great addition to the staff. I think he added a lot to the team while he was with SERTC and now he's got plenty of coaching experience too. For a team with rising aspirations in both folkstyle and freestyle I think he's a perfect fit.
What I was told was he just started playing football not long ago and that my coworker went to one of his games last year (my coworker coached him in basketball), and he said he was put on defense and looked very out of sorts.
I know that's defense and playing WR is different, but he said he'd need some work learning the game. But he did say that he's a freak athlete, can jump out of the gym playing bball, and that his size and ability to move would make it hard to defend playing WR.
Personally i find that my hopes are mostly ill-tempered
MoSchmo went to Pitt, now heading to Wofford. That's probably who you were thinking of.
Hokies!
Welcome home!
Let's Go....
Need to land a blue chip or two and ensure we have ACC caliber players in positions of need. For some reason we seem to struggle to get talented players to show out wearing O&M. We've had a number of players transfer to other schools and look like a completely different athlete. That needs to stop if we're going to raise the bar and compete for conference championships.
Yes UGA is still ahead of the Hokies. All the pundits are pointing to RPI but all of it assumes SEC teams are good. They even have South Carolina in the rankings at 30-25. Problem is the SEC outside of top 8 in the rankings did really poorly OOC. They casually overlook Hokies being 6-0 over SEC teams. Hokies biggest problem is they are 20 in RPI due to losses to Charlotte, Georgia Tech and Biberty
Great get. Has been a big reason that Nebraska has been a top four team the last couple seasons. Still have a coach opening left. A heavyweight coach
