Sure it was. Just not what I am looking for in Star Wars. Too each their own.

C'mon, you're better than this. Put down the Paul Finebaum cream soda kool-aid, turn off e$pn and try not to be $ec brainwashed.
Regardless of what they try to feed everybody, it truly doesn't just mean more...

Significant lightning delays today so the mens 1500m now starts at 1025 PM. 400m is 1115, 800m is 1140, 200m is 1230 am. Mens pole vault was moved until tomorrow. Really sucks for the 10000m guys, their start time is now 1255 am to end the first days events.

Womens events start tomorrow.

They did get the hammer throw in before the weather. Lukas Baroke finished 13th with a throw of 212'-2" which is the worst position to finish as only the top 12 move on.

That's correct, that's what, their 3rd? The last one was when I was in HS.

It's more like pop-country. Beyoncé dropped a country album last year, and now you're seeing all these artist (Morgan Wallen, Shaboozy, Post Malone) who are using country rifts on hip hop drums and an auto tune. It's pretty catchy, and I hate most country music.

Haha true, but I meant somebody other than the fans

He does have that type of name recognition (at least on par with U2, AC/DC, and Metallica - not the others), you're just old lmao.

Problem is that they aren't mid in anything anymore. Mid SEC maybe but still better than almost any ACC teams

The problems here are various...

In regards to Whit....
1. He hasn't really done a good enough job to get promoted to a P4 job that would be at a higher or equivalent level i.e. no one is looking to hire him
2. He hasn't really done a bad enough job that he clearly needs to be fired ASAP unless you have a ready-made replacement
3. Whether or not he leaves or gets fired, who do you hire? I'm open to suggestions but dont see any real obvious candidates that would have a reasonable link or interest in VT. Do you try and hire an up-and-coming G5 AD who's at this point probably just trying to keep his head above water in the wild wild west of NIL? Do you try and poach a lower level administrator from a P2 program?

The overarching issue is from the top down VT needs a clear strategy in regards to Athletics. The decision to defund basketball was absurd. It is much easier to put together a basketball program than a football program from sheer numbers if nothing else. We've also pretty clearly had more recent success in either basketball program than Football. If you're limited in terms of resources/money, it would have made so much more sense to devote a higher percentage of resources to both basketball programs. We really don't know if that decision was Whit's alone or influenced from higher-ups at VT.

At this point, VT really has no reasonable chance to compete at a top level in college football. At best, we are looking at possibly breaking the top 25 intermittently. Until there are actual rules, there's really no way for us (and similar programs) to compete. I don't necessarily see any kind of framework coming together until the system collapses which I think will happen within the next 10 years--and who knows what the landscape (or what's left of it) will look like by then.

The other obvious issue is that we clearly need to move on from Beamer and Weaver-era Personnel on the Athletic Department. I think many of us know who we are talking about here.

The problem isn't simply money, you can look at Miami's men's basketball team as a case in point of how throwing stupid money around doesn't necessarily lead to meaningful results. I'm not sure VT fans or donors have the stomachs or the pocketbooks for that sort of roller coaster ride.

Its pretty sad when ODUs basketball facilities outclass ours.

If that were all it took the combined rage of the TKP commentariat alone would've accomplished this a decade ago

Who is Morgan Wallen?
