That is quite possibly the lamest way to end a baseball game. I know it's an exhibition game, but this is pretty sad especially when this outcome determines the home team for the World Series. One more lame rule like the one we saw last night and MLB will just be the pro circuit for Banana Ball.

Edit: I apparently haven't paid any attention to rule changes that impact the WS. This is what happens when you are a Twins fan and playoff baseball doesn't exist beyond the divisional.

Wait...
2025-2006 =19 years since 2006
36+19=55 years old if 36 in 2006
How are you 60 now?

Only asking because you were 5 years older than me in 2006, so you cant be 10 years older than me now.

You are either 55 or 60. Born in 1965 or 1970.
Assuming you arent 55 now since you claim 60, maybe you were you 41 in 2006?

Why, yes, I am an engineer. Why do you ask?

I don't see the issue with admiring someone's looks even if they're considerably younger than you. Granted I'm only 38, but the college girls are still appreciated when I visit for games. Acknowledging beauty will never go away, so avoiding the creepy old man perception is easy so long as you aren't acting on anything, making crude comments, or being pervy. Appreciate away!

How much credibility, money, cache, etc did we lose by getting embarassed by ODU twice in Norfolk? orders of magnitude more than what we would have had to pay them to play in Blacksburg.

They would have to allocate more money to pay for all the non-conference teams to come here. Then again, Blacksburg supposedly earns between 2.5 - 5 million per home game.

We could start by things we can control- like playing every Non con game at home like Indiana is doing - smart. We would go on the road to Kennesaw and ODU like fools.

, if we played that schedule next year

Well we know THAT could NEVER happen ANY year cause it would mean we actually
got to PLAY Wisconsin... sadly likely NOT /s

(I was just over half my current age when the home and home series with them was first signed in 2006 (36 then;60 now). Currently it's "scheduled" (and I use that word mostly in jest) for 2031 and 32 when I will be 66/67 but I'm not holding my breath...)

"Now I wait for DC to take a partial quote out of context and make a trollish comment because he literally has nothing better to do with his life." - your life is so complete, you call all of my posts out.

It speaks to where we are loud and clear. Every year for a decade we need to beat UVA to salvage one of 50 lower tier bowl games. We also pursue D3 transfers. It makes total sense if you think about it.

4 INT's 11 PD's as a true sophomore. He's our 6th CB if he beats out the freshmen, and only because Clarke is out for the year. And do we even know if he's on scholarship? I would guess not.

There's no reason not to take a flier on a sibling as a depth piece. Unfortunately we didn't land his brother but we still have time, especially in this era. If he's not on scholarship there's literally zero downside here

If they got the right coach and built the right culture, there are many built-in advantages that would hockey stick the program. That's not true with other schools. I'm not directly comparing UVa to VT, I'm holistically examining what UVa has of offer outside of football.

You saw it when Harbaugh took over Stanford. Stanford was a shit football program before he got there. He laid a proper foundation and it became an attractive program almost overnight. Andrew Luck, Christian McCaffrey etc. were kids who wouldn't have given Stanford a second thought under Walt Harris but immediately considered it because of Harbaugh (and eventually Shaw who was a Harbaugh protege) + all of the great elements Stanford offers from a non-football standpoint despite little to no football track record.

Is UVa Stanford? Fuck no, not even close. But, could the right coach turn the Tony Elliott clown show in a ACC + playoff contending program quickly? Without a doubt in my mind.

AFWIW, I believe the same thing about Virginia Tech. We have inherent advantages as well. Top 50 USNWR school with an elite STEM profile, a campus that looks like Hogwarts, one of the best fanbases in the country (from both a football appreciation and a campus culture standpoint), NFL alumni etc...why is why I think everyone is justified for getting mad at Pry underperforming after spending two years cleaning up the mess Fu left behind. But that's taking us on a tangent.

Now I wait for DC to take a partial quote out of context and make a trollish comment because he literally has nothing better to do with his life.

Sadly, if we played that schedule next year, I'd be hard-pressed to see us doing better than 5-7. And 4-8 would be my most likely prediction.

Play that funky music...

An interesting take, and we share an appreciation for Asian or Amerasian beauty, by the way, but at 75 years old, it seems like most ladies in college are attractive to me, and "dirty old man" doesn't go over well anywhere, right?
