Yep, I'm a Maryann guy too, but Ginger would do on a desert isle, right?

The maroon would be tough to find in a Bricks and Minifigs sort bin.
Lego has pick a brick online you can just search.
Lego Pick a Brick
Softball now a doubleheader starting at 1pm. Gives fans two options while waiting for 3pm Spring game kickoff
Yup, that's why I haven't justified the purchase... Yet. I really just need to go to a store that sells Lego by the pound and sort through it, but I'll probably eventually end up paying this guy's convenience fee.
Gilligan's Island reruns are always a good option simply because you get to see Maryann.
Glad that has worked out
My old man setup is still D (8.25); 3W (14); 4W (16.5); 7W (21); 9W (24).
Just added 2 degrees of loft to my 6i and gained a half club in carry. I just don't have the setup and swing speed to play stronger lofted mid irons. Will try the same with 7i.
Every other program has some kind of kickbacks for every donor. Every other program is actively working to make the fan experience better in stadiums and arenas, and actively investing to make every fan feel like their money is going somewhere that they can see.
VT exclusively caters to the top donors. They exclusively listen to the top donors. And they actually make hiring decisions based on how willing a coach is to be buddy buddy with the top donors rather than doing what is best for the program and school as a whole.
I knew I heard that line from somewhere.
Man, I really hated the first season of The Good Place the first time I watched it to the point that I'm surprised I stuck with it. I'm so glad I did though. Totally worth it.
No change yet to softball although baseball moved to a doubleheader on Saturday
Baseball is now a Saturday Doubleheader starting at noon. Second game will start 45 minutes after first is over. Not ideal for the bullpen against the #9 team.
Print 5000 copies and hand them out at the Spring Game
That's probably about $15 in bricks using Lego pick a brick. Last I saw they were selling those for like $50
It's a two way street - if you want to have an impact, then give more. That's not me saying that Whit is in the right, just the reality of the situation IMO.
Every other college football program caters to the people who give the most.
The problem is, that aging fanbase is also the people giving the most money. If Babcock wants money he has to pander to them. Or someone else has to give.
What was it that Whit said? "Those people don't give enough for their opinions to matter"
When you only cater toward the people who give the most, you don't get to whine about your lack of funding when the bulk volume of donors withers up and dies for realizing their needs and opinions don't matter anymore.
Everyone needs to copy the article link and email it over and over to Babcock and the rest if the admin; every day, multiple times a day.
Could not agree more.
But I would still agree with VTJ12 that there is a lot of fear of trying...Weaver was notorious for not wanting to do anything if it meant the budget was going to flirt with going in the black, or god forbid ever go in the red.
Yea, I don't think it's a fear of trying. I think Weaver was of a generation who genuinely thought his job was to keep athletics in the black. That's why I loved that line about our athletic department having a Civil Servant Mentality. He genuinely believed that his first priority was to keep VT sports out of the red, and his second priority was to make them good.
Babcock has shown time and again that he's afraid to change anything up that might upset the aging fanbase who helped build the program up to what it is today

Ended up with booking a fitting at the PGA Superstore. Figured I'm buying the driver and it's better than not being fit. I don't have enough truly local courses to follow the brand fitters they spend most of their time on HHI and some Blufton courses outside of Paris Island where they already came through for the year.
Also scheduled a much needed short game lesson with a pro I haven't worked with before. Looking forward to that because I'm losing a lot of strokes around the green

I was lucky enough to get one. Now I'm going to have to get the Lane Stadium mini model I've seen posted here before to round out the collection.
Edit: found it. They have a mini Torg Bridge too.
Ah the annual offseason article to talk crap about the program and get everyone in the football spirit...
My recollection is that Ryan Willis said this after heaving a 50 yard bomb on 4th down that Dalton Keene happened to catch in order to keep our last drive alive that allowed us to squeak by UVA that season.
