I don't think the BIG is the douche conference at all, that's part of why I don't think UVA fits.
This is the kind of material I'm renewing for $84 for.
Yeah, but who's on third?
The ACC died when they added Pitt and Syracuse. Dead. Gone. Simply the old big east. dead. huge mistake. To this day I don't know how we avoid Swofford going full fuck stick and adding UCONN. Still don't know how we escaped that one. With Syracuse in your fucking league, you may as well add louisville- not that they bring anything, so yeah do that. And once SMU is in your conference, SMU is in your conference. It's fucked. It can't end soon enough for me.
Mid or worse for what they are. Small chicken, soggy breading, mediocre flavor. There are a half dozen places near me that are infinitely better, including Popeyes.
Damn they never should've added VT.
Combine airplane bottles of Wild Turkey 101 and a 3Q Coke and you have a full 4Q Lane Stadium..
The ACC was once the Big Douche conference. Shame how times have changed...we have been big dogged by bigger douches.
I disagree (at least at the top levels). All the SEC schools 'fit' a similar (very specific) 'cultural' mold.
Even in the B10, they are looking for pretentious schools with a large student body. That descriptor used to be restricted to the midwest but they're just less regional. They're still focused on being the biggest douche bag conference.
Lived in Chester, VA until I went to VT ('92 to 2010). I definitely went to most of these places, but several of them were more because I was a picky kid and my parents could get me to eat at Shoney's or Fuddruckers or [insert chain here]. Once my palate expanded, we mostly frequented independent restaurants.
This is without a doubt the funniest thing ever posted on here. So long as there is no employment contracts and no union, there is no rules regarding NIL. No clearinghouse, no governing body, no nothing. Until they have contracts, backup QBs are going to pull in 7 figures from boosters in the south. Bank on that.
Combine some meat on that bone in a pot with some broth and a potato and now you've got a competent stew goin'
But with the new limits on NIL after this season (haha, wink, wink), we should be able to keep up, since the playing field will be leveled, right? Right!?!
Keeping up with this thread during the workday makes me hungry frfr ong.
There weren't many restaurants in Wise county when I was growing up. I have fond memories of Cricket's, a restaurant in Wise that existed up until about the time I left for college, maybe shortly thereafter. There was a drive in near Pennington Gap called the Patio Drive-in (this is circa 1970) that had the best jumbo cheeseburgers that I think I've ever had, but that was almost an hour's drive from home. The Big Boy drive in in Big Stone Gap was pretty good, too. The real change was when McDonalds and Pizza Hut opened in Norton. I understand that both of them set national sales records for their respective chains in their first quarter of operations. Most of the local places went by the wayside after that, with national fast food places coming in.
Kids ate at home a lot more when they grew up the in 70's and 80's as opposed to the 90's and 00's.
Yea - these were all places that my family never went to unless we had to. Grew up outside of Annapolis, about a decade or so younger than you it seems.
I GOTTA BE ME!

No, John. It's best that we part, John. You have another wife, and I have another husband, and he has another wife, and she has another husband. It isn't the simplest sort of arrangement. It isn't. No, after all our years of wedded bliss, it's auf wiedersehen, John. We must think of the child. After all, we do have a child, and he has a child, and the child has another wife, and she has another husband, and he has a child, and that child, John, is our child. I must go away somewhere and figure this thing out. Auf wiedersehen, John, auf wiedersehen
But, Mary dear, I know you have another husband, and that he has another wife, and that she has another husband, and that our own child, through marriage, is now my uncle and your sisters father on your grandmother's side, but can't we talk this over. There is still time, our divorce doesn't become final for another five minutes
We'll talk it over some other day, John, but not today
Why not, dear?
Today I am to be married. Bon soir, John. Prosit. Auf wiedersehen. Au revoir. Adios. Aloha
How do you like that? She didn't even say 'goodbye'
"Fitting in" means nothing now. It's a matter of acquiring more schools to have a bigger and broader portfolio to drive perceived media value
Step 1. Stop the endless fucking excuses- either you want to play big boy football or you don't. If you are too poor to pay NIL, then move down to FCS, etc.

# | With Doak Campbell renovations nearing completion - FSU announces reduction of 12k seats in new capacity Stadiums are disposable now, throw aways. 20 years max, then you demand a new one with tax money or move the team to a second rate city. Ga dome was fine- fuck that we need a new one. Nashville was fine- nope throw it away. They purposely built an actual disposable one in Santa Clara - it was specifically designed to be torn down quickly or renovated. I don't want to hear about "money"- there's way too much of it out there.
Basically, we've got 5 seasons to make football relevant again before 30-31 exodus begins.
Honestly I feel like I grew up in a different time and place than yall. Richmond from '83 to early 2000's. Shoneys, Hometown buffet, Pizza Hut Buffett, weekly Mexican at Don Jose or when at the rescue squad Mi Hacienda, took dates to TGI Fridays, Applebees or Ruby Tuesdays in middle and high school, Black Eyed Pea's with the family or outback for birthdays, steak and ale for special occasions, red lobster some times, Picadilly Cafeteria at Cloverleaf mall for get together a with dads navy friends, Ukrops fried chicken when we needed quick meals at home, Bill BBQ near the diamond after school sports, Spaghetti Warehouss before school dances as a group, Fudruckers burgers during the tacky light tours at Christmas.
Combine Greg Norman's clothing line with Costco's distribution/pricing and you get my work wardrobe for cheap.
