Ever since I first followed the Hokies in the 60s, the drumbeat pre-season was always that this year, we're gonna get those tight ends involved, dadgummit! Just hasn't usually been the case through the decades. I've always wanted to see the tight ends as primary targets, not just decoys or safety valves, and have admired teams that seem to do that successfully. Looks like this fall I might get my wish. Just like the run game sets up the pass game, the tight ends being heavily involved will set up the wide receivers. Big guys with good hands, tough to tackle, ten yards a pop...what's not to like?
Well, now we shake it off and clobber the hell out of 'em today.
Mid-season form?
Yeah, they do, but I don't care at all. I'm pretty much an any beer, any season kinda guy, myself.
Tough call! I have enjoyed them all. I'll go with the most recent season on Angola, as it was the one I had the least understanding/pre-existing knowledge of from my reading.

Lip reading voice over from skip getting tossed against UNCheat. Nsfw language...
Kinda OT, but saw rumors that Indiana was trying to poach Gosnell. I feel like that's a compliment.
In reality, that's TSL. SoS is just hosted by delusion fans (I mean that in a positive way).
I think mine is hanging around 175 or so (plus like 25 some non-audible books floating around my hard drive). I joined audible back in like 2003 (and have been on and off as the budget allowed for years) and was very wary when Amazon purchased them. For the most part, they have kept the product decent.
They have strong-armed their talent a lot since the acquisition however. Brandon Sanderson set out on a quest to leverage his publishing power back at them and succeeded somewhat. That was an interesting saga in and of itself.
All that said, the account is still active. I've got two credits right now awaiting my book club's next pick. Audible hopes you have enjoyed this post.

Apparently while waiting for the second fire platform ladder to setup the corps of cadets working the game, VTPD, grounds crew and VT rescue folks started to pile up football tackling props to try and create and emergency "landing pad".
I guess I'll add to this as most on my list aren't on here yet. Here are a few worth sharing.
Techsideline | I especially enjoy their episodes with Teel.
Moonshots | Fantastically fun and positive take on the convergence of technology.
Acquired | Deep analysis of the history of businesses. Listening to their Ferrari episode now.
Lex Friedman | Thoughtful long form discussions with interesting guests. He's been posting less the last year, but usually worth the listen.
Rogan | Pending the guest. I don't do the fight or comic episodes, but check out most of his political, science, conspiracy ones.
For the runners:
Nobody asked us with Des and Kara | These can be fun to get a perspective from past top tier athletes.
Freetrail | Specifically around races I'm interested in during ultra season, such as Western States or UTMB.
Enjoy!
Billy Ray Mitchell mainly
I've seen a number of great YouTube explainers from him, but haven't listened to the pod. I usually watch videos of his on newer technologies where I can't find reliable information many other places, he does a great job.
Another angle I saw shows him hit the scoreboard and the next line in the song playing in the stadium was "This is how legends are made". I really hope this is not an omen.
Overton really had a nice spurt on that one series. Felt like he took them 50 yards down the field in like 3 plays very quickly.
My takeaways from the game itself are that Overton (RB), Reynolds (TE), and Gosnell (TE) are going to be among our main guys.
Looked like the VT flag landed out in the practice field. Or at least, he was in the process of going down there when my attention got rapidly turned to the scoreboard.
Dang, I knew he had busted out the plastic from the letters but didnt realize he had hit that hard. I was too busy looking at the VT-flag parachutist and wondering if he was going to clear enough to get into the stadium or not. Anybody hear/see where he ended up landing? I looked at that area later and looked like a ton of concrete, asphalt, and metal fences so I can't imagine he had a good time either.
I think the success rate was actually lower than that. The one guy who made it onto the field clearly didn't make it like he planned. He definitely went into a free fall for a bit to make sure he landed on the field, and still slid in on his butt.
I also thought maybe it was an accident tripping it up, but when I changed the depart times, it still gave the detour. When I checked it this morning before leaving, it still added that detour, so I don't know what the Google gremlin was smoking.
I ended up going down via the interstate route with no detours, and I didn't have any problems in that stretch -- other than the usual folks who don't know how to drive around the trucks.
The attendance was the family of players who couldn't find a good excuse to cut.
I think the wife and mine Audible account probably has at least 150 books.
Remember when we moved Greg Booooone to TE and he was going to change the game? Then we threw him like 4 passes?
