Is he signed? Nope? *shrug*
We had to drop that WR to make room
Exit left or right toward the east or west not directly under.
UCLA is much better off right now.....because they are a part of the B1G.
for now... they'll get ditched when the super league is made in 5-10 years.
That invitation will get them on a path to being in the black in no time.
That's not a strategy. We can't just go to the SEC whenever Whit/Sands decide to. VT could do everything 'right' for the next 5 years, and not get an invite to the SEC. UCLA got the call because (a) their rivalry with USC and (b) their LA location.
The kids, agents, and parents are not the stupid ones here. That would be anyone who pays the ask. Cover charges are not stupid, the people who pay them are.
yes- twitch doesn't cut checks without real views.
This is the game now. Oklahoma is nearly unbeatable like UCONN womens hoops. If you want to beat them, fucking stop fucking around. Dawn staley stopped fucking around with UCONN didn't she? You want to win or you don't. John Thompson wanted to beat Beoheim again so he got Iverson literally out of federal prison. Dean Smith met with his pastor and retired soon after because he "had" to take punk Rasheed Wallace if he wanted to beat Duke- he hated it. Gary Williams retired because of it. NOW the game is money. Period. Texas Tech softball is not fucking around with Oklahoma any longer.
There kind of is .... plenty of kids winning $$$millions and with huge Twitch followings....they have talent though rather than just potential.
So hold on... the newspaper didn't catch wind of you potentially being an ace deliverer in 4th grade? and McDonalds didn't pay you just for your appearance at age 7 on the local news doing a hot dog stand? or did they? If you actually worked those jobs, its a job, not an entitlement.
To give you an idea of the team they bought

I was damn entitled to the money I was getting in high school. Of course that was from the newspaper route I did before school. Then I walked over to the McDonald's after school and worked for about four hours (Mon-Thursday), then on weekends I worked at a seafood restaurant Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. I also had to maintain my College Prep and AP classes.
I have been informed that I also apparently broke every child labor law that existed in the late 80's early 90's.
Great example - didn't realize that Tennessee was $200m in debt a decade ago.
I don't think anyone else talked about it in the 2024 thread- I've heard great things about Croatia, and my wife and I had it in consideration for this years vacation but we went with Grand Cayman instead.
And just like that, there are 3 in the 2026 class again
there is no Videogame Industrial Complex... yet
I'm torn between posting a welcome to the team GIF and asking what is the over-under on how many weeks before he decommits?
Hopefully we have turned the page and this is the start of an upswing.
That was painful to watch. The run of redemption wins after this game was an epic stretch of VT football. Unfortunately shitting the bed in the Orange Bowl was the perfect bookend to a season that had much more potential
Wait, why after Miami? Sure, we lost* the game, but we were competitive against a damn good Miami team. What do you expect?
* by conference orders
It's happened before.
My youngest is 25. And since there is no Videogame Industrial Complex in America that will pay him on potential and magazine ratings alone, he has some work to do long term. As I told my oldest with my new granddaughter- be more (much more) demanding on her than I was on my kids. Fact.
When I saw 25 new comments in this thread, I knew what that meant.
Yeah, I think I'm doing it right. I've stressed to them that they need to choose a career path that they enjoy, so long as it offers an actual career. Hard to navigate that, though, as what was a solid career path 10 years ago (software engineering) has become so saturated that it's hard to find a job out of college. I will say that I'm greatly pleased that, of the two career paths that my oldest is considering, one of them is biomedical engineering via Tech. If she can get into Tech Engineering, and if she works hard (she does), she'll do fine.
My youngest, well.....there's still time. ;^)
Well if its not entitlement its the unicorn that is people lighting their money on fire. You know anyone that does that for fun?
Had to google ong. Your gen z lingo flex is bussin.
That's the frustration. You aren't wrong, but the fact that people struggle to put food on the table and pay student loans, there exist in society people that will pay millions to athletes that have not proven a thing with the ONLY return being monday bragging rights for beating NC State. BEST case scenario, OSU booster pays 5 million real dollars- 5 million- would set up generations of normal families. What did he get for that? Beating his chest to Michigan fans? being able to wear a natty t shirt? I know these uber rich people have money they wipe their ass with, but you don't get and stay rich wasting money. What is Mehul getting from giving this kid a million dollars to sign with VT for a season? bragging rights at a party with UVA fans? pride? If he is good, hes transfering at first chance. So the price of 7 wins and a smile is over 1 million dollars. I challenge any and everyone on this board to make that make sense on any fucking level. I can tell you for a fact that these businessmen wouldn't give rando employee even a 50K bonus because of company pride. not in a million fucking years.
