# | Virginia Tech ranked 18th best college football program of the 2000s by The Athletic Facts
Those 2, RJ Barrett, Jamal Murray, Dillion Brooks pulled a "VT" and did not medal at the olympic last summer. Borderline criminal. The best canadian team ever by far, and they didn't post.
It also sucks how big he is, considering he is such a douche.
I do know Mehul, and he's not a big Metallica fan either... but he is a huge VT/Football/Entrance fan, and he helped make this - and all major things associated with VT football happen. He didn't fly to blackburg because hes a big Ride the Lightning guy.
I didn't realize his cousin was Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, they did a puff piece on them before the last game.
Well ummm Morgan Wallen just sold out State Farm Stadium in Phoenix. he is a huge country act right now. I'd guess that he, Luke Combs, Chesney for sure would easily sell out Lane.
Reminds of that quote from Band of Brothers. "Remember boys, flies cause disease, so keep yours closed"
it's going to be an assload of money.

# | Virginia Tech ranked 18th best college football program of the 2000s by The Athletic I have no idea who Morgan Wallen is... and to sell out a stadium / any stadium you need a nationally if not globally recognized name - Metallica, U2, Rolling Stones, Taylor Swift, Beyonce, AC/DC - THAT kind of name recognition.

# | Virginia Tech ranked 18th best college football program of the 2000s by The Athletic Speaking as someone how does a lot of concerts, Blacksburg is not a priority for any band unless they go out of their way to make it one like Metallica just did. There are TWO places in town/county that can hold a concert hosting 1k+ people - one is Lane stadium which takes a significant amount of investment just to repair the damages on the field, and the other is Burruss which doesn't exactly have a GA pit. In other words, one isn't ideal for the host, and the other isn't ideal for the band. The next location than can host a show of 1k+ people is the Berglund Center in Roanoke. And touring is expensive - when bands setup their tour they are trying to maximize sales at every location and they need a fan base. The entirety of Montgomery County has less than 100k people compared to the metro DC region at 6.3M, or Charlotte at 2.8M which have a much higher probability of a large enough fan base to make a stop and sellout the venue.
NAW may come off the bench but he is top 5 on Minnesota when it comes to minutes.
Agree
I realize that they aren't the same kind of events, but Burning Man and Coachella are not exactly easy to get to either.
This series was fine in my opinion. I know for most it was just awesome but I still found parts of it to be slow. I also was really big into the old legends stories where Kyle Katarn was more or less who Andor is. That aside, it was really more of a Mon Mothera backstory than anything else. The episode that ended with her just raving on the dance floor was interesting lol.
I remember a rumor that the breakfast eggs were loaded with saltpeter to curb the hormonal urges of us cadets.
Good to know, but damn he wasn't in it that much seems like they could have figured it out. Jimmy Schmitts just has personality hard to duplicate. I know he is supposed to be reprising his role in the new Dexter series.
Somebody needs to get angry enough for us to "be bak"
exclusively a new version of a "puff piece" curated heavily, or exclusively, by the subject.
I call it state media lol
So today I learned that Metallica performed Funeral for a friend/Love lies bleeding in my hand for Elton John and Bernie Taupin at the Gershwin Awards last year. VERY COOL!
Cult classic. You need to take a drink if you haven't seen it. And if you have seen it, have a drink any way. Any Glen will do.
The only reason Brady Hoke can claim success is because of the blind zebras. Danny Coale caught that f&%#ing ball!
Isn't there a Metallica thread for that?
all reported NIL figures are fake, but I get what you are saying.
Its like every time I hear Jeremy Schaap's voice in a GameDay broadcast. Here comes a tear jerker puff piece curated by the school
enough to buy one mid level 3 star transfer back up QB

Axl Rose pimped out and raped women, Tommy Lee raped countless women, Richie Sambora is a smack addict... most music stars are douches.
