[INTRO MUSIC FADES OUT]
JACK:
Welcome back to SportsCenter After Hours! I'm Jack Malone—voice of reason and classic crew socks —and across the desk—
TINA:
—I'm Tina Reyes, lover of high performance high socks, and ready to drag Jack into the 21st century.
JACK:
I'm just gonna say it—LOW SOCKS ARE SUPERIOR. If you're wearing high socks in 2025, you're either a third grader or stuck in a 2004 time loop!
TINA (cutting in):
ARE YOU KIDDING ME RIGHT NOW, JACK?! HIGH SOCKS ARE THE GOLD STANDARD. EVER HEARD OF STYLE? SUPPORT? LEG DOMINANCE?
JACK:
LEG DOMINANCE?! Tina, this isn't a medieval joust! It's SPORTS. Low socks mean speed, freedom, aerodynamics—
TINA:
AERODYNAMICS?! THEY'RE SOCKS, NOT F-16s! You sound like a guy who puts ketchup on pasta!
JACK:
AT LEAST I DON'T LOOK LIKE I'M AUDITIONING FOR A ROLE IN HOOSIERS! Every time you walk in with those socks halfway up your femur, I lose vision in one eye!
TINA:
THAT'S BECAUSE HIGH SOCKS INTIMIDATE WEAK ANKLES LIKE YOURS! You ever seen LeBron in no-shows? NO! BECAUSE HE'S A LEGEND, NOT A LIFEGUARD!
JACK (mocking):
"Oh look at me, I need my socks to hug my calves or I can't shoot free throws!" Give me a break!
TINA:
Better than you, rolling your ankles just thinking about cardio. Low socks are for people who quit before halftime.
JACK (slamming desk):
I WILL DIE ON THIS HILL, TINA!
TINA (standing up):
THEN BRING A PAIR OF HIGH SOCKS TO YOUR FUNERAL. I'M DRESSING YOU IN NIKE ELITES!
JACK:
OVER MY COLD, LOW-SOCKED BODY.
TINA:
YOU GOT IT!
[PRODUCER IN BACKGROUND]:
Okay! Okay! We're going to commercial! COMMERCIAL!!
[THEME MUSIC SURGES AGAIN]
JACK (still yelling off mic):
They don't even protect you from turf burn!
TINA:
YOU WOULDN'T KNOW TURF BURN IF IT HIT YOU IN THE SHIN, CARGO SHORTS!
The Aldhani heist and escape through the eye might be my favorite Star Wars moment ever. I've rewatched that episode maybe six or seven times.
Another SEC host goes down as Ole Miss loses to Wright State 11-10. Tennessee beat Wake Forest 11-5 to somehow emerge from their own regional. This means, at most, half of the SEC hosts will not advance through their own regionals, and I'm here for it.
The only other SEC game tonight is happening now with LSU vs Little Rock, with LR racing out to an early 5-1 lead. With a win LSU would host the super regional against WVU, but I have no idea who would host if LR advances.
Miami and So. miss just getting started, with Miami in front 1-0 bottom 3.
Oklahoma eliminated
Texas Tech vs Texas Final
13-0 Bay beee
UNC smokes Oklahoma, advances to the supers, and another SEC team is out. UNC will host Arizona this weekend.
Sounds like 12- 0 is the prognosis
At least he's consistent
I'd probably be pretty happy with just #2 and #5 both occurring. That would be enough, I think, to hold onto Pry. 7-6 with clear improvement as the year goes on is probably enough for me. 8-5 with 1 of those wins being the bowl game coupled with improvement during the year and I'll be really happy.
The CFA game has an obligatory prime TV time slot (CFA's doing, nothing we did). Outside of Wofford, these other three are the least desirable for a late kickoff compared to Wake, Louisville, and Miami.... well, maybe not Wake.
My five not so bold (or optimistic) predictions......
1. The below will be reason enough for VT to keep Pry.
2. The offense and defensive will show notable improvement as the season goes on.
3. At least two transfers will be better than expected and make a difference.
4. We will look like contenders in the ACC before a key injury derails the team.
5. We will improve on a our win loss record from last year.
Best thing about living on the west coast! live sports - you can watch before 1am
All these evening Hokie games plus the Commanders' TNF/SNF/MNF schedule is going to be a lot of late nights* for this guy!
*Subject to either team shitting the bed
interestingly enough i find that outside of a few scenes (the aldhani heist + eye and One Way Out being the most notable) i find the most rewatchable parts to be the monologues and voiceover scenes -- moments of real weight and gravitas. we get Nemik's manifesto, Luthen's monologue to Lonni, Maarva's posthumous hologram to the Ferrix insurgents, Saw's Rhydo-fueled diatribe, Bix's farewell to Cassian
The alleged "author" (I would argue that they are more of a review publisher) of the article is a very recent VT grad. The allegations of AI use to write would not surprise me at all given the adoption of AI tools by students and the comparisons to the prompt fed to ChatGPT.
Oh, I have no doubt that they're using AI in some form for articles, just that they probably didn't just type the prompt into Chat GPT, and publish that.

AI aside, those predictions are quite bold. If those things happen then the new coordinators are very good (better than we thought) and the last ones were very bad (even worse than we thought).
And if all those things happen and we still go 6-6, LOLLLLL
ESPN personalities have to be the most worried, how hard is it to create a couple of bots that just shout at each other, thats like 90% of their programming.
Of course they are

Quite, but at least they are not in line to host the super regional. With Arkansas winning their regional they get to host whoever comes out a live from the Knoxville regional.
Trevor Cone (former Hokie golfer) qualified for the US Open yesterday. Will be awesome to see a Hokie go up against Oakmont
