Basically put a TKP thread into ChatGPT and tell it to ignore any gifs and memes.
The article has a strong thesis and zero substance.

It's all Truth
Maybe now that an outsider put it in print it will hit home but I doubt it.
Even the Nike deal piece. Stark reminder of how piss poor the negotiation on that was and continues to be.

Definitely need to get him signed.
This really hits home with a lot of the attitudes I encounter on the academic side of the university, unfortunately.
Far from accurate. Only 27% of portal entries have committed that came ftom D1 programs. 37 of the top 100 are still not committed. Take into account there are 350 programs. Even if you just look at P4. That's 70 programs. That means less of the Top 100 have committed than there are P4 schools. There is still a ton of talent out there uncommitted. Coach Young probably needs 4-5 in top 500 in portal. There were almost 1000 entries from D1 programs. Almost 2000 total.

Rose with the pop-up 7 wood at 4...I can identify with that
Note everyone in his group hit 7 wood there. I still think anyone not carrying a 7 wood or 9 wood is missing a trick. Super easy to hit and great loft and spin.

Well. 70% of the top talent in the transfer portal has now committed to their new schools. Granted, we did land one of them, but seeing as how we still have 8 open spots and haven't done much else yet, kinda feels like we're cooked next year.
Sucks for baseball because it would consolidate the bullpen arms to two days.
Softball seems to handle recovery so much better for pitchers.
Looking like a good chance of a rain out this evening, for baseball and softball contests.
Almost 20 years ago I told a friend Beamer would never win a national title. He thought I was crazy. When 2007 came along he was like see we were 3rd, and i pointed out we got destroyed by LSU, it wasn't close, it wasn't competitive. They had their way with us. 2011 happened and we were two Clemson games away, and they weren't close, one we score in I believe the 4th to end with 3 points. It wasn't close to a 9-3 team. He had a fluke year in 1999 when some how Vick slipped past everyone. We should have never gotten Vick. The number of events that had to all happen was insane when you think about it.
Coming from an area where I grew up with large WVU donors and just about everyone cheers for WVU, VT was a stark difference in how the athletic department was ran in 2000. And WVU isn't anOSU.
Welp, glad I didn't bet on Rory.
I'm honestly afraid to even look into the article to see what is written there.
I honestly think the legacy admin at VT is scared of being too successful because it will create expectations and then they'll have to actually try. I don't think anyone really has a championship drive or mindset with athletics honestly. It's just going through the motions.
Jim Weaver and John Beilein can fuck all the way off... The foundation of the downfall of VT football rests on the shoulders the old guard who was too stubborn (and lazy) to change/adapt.
Having said that, Babcock is fuck off too. He's proven to be an unserious AD for revenue sports, which is the only thing that matters.

My favorite part is this:
Even during Beamer's tenure, the ACC's emerging power – Clemson – were 7-0 against the Hokies since 2011. Once sleepy Clemson was playing an increasingly cutting edge brand of football with elite supportive administrative structures. The Hokies scored over 17 points against them only once in those seven straight losses.
Instead of seeing them as a model worthy of emulation or inspiring some self-reflection, they reveled in their wins over Wake Forest and East Carolina, even as the athletes from Virginia's poor back roads that they'd built the program on were being raided by Penn State and various national recruiters. No more secret recruiting grounds that only the Hokies knew how to unlock.
Its absolutely 100% spot on. While the rest of the world started to lap us, we sang ourselves to sleep every night knowing we were capable of getting a bunch of wins in an absolutely garbage schedule. Hell, even now, we still cling to this notion that as long as we beat an absolutely terrible UVa, its a good season.
We set our sights low, and then make excuses when we don't meet them. And now we're at the precipice of a major P2 shift, and we're lightyears away from where we should be wondering how the hell we got here when the answer is staring at us in the mirror.
The only common thread post beamer is fossil John Bellein. Start there.
Those hats are badass. Have you bought from them in the past? How do their hats fit?
