Sadly, and after all she has been through, Jenny Rodderwig has scratched in White Mountain in the best interest of her team. That means Ebbe Pederson now claims the Lynden "Committed to the Last Mile" Red Lantern award.

Thank you all for your interest. Iditarod 53 has been a blast for me.
Jaydon young and others coming.
My personal crystal ball is saying that we will convince kid ourselves that we can be successful as a "smart investment" basketball school...what any serious school would call cheap. We will think that the right coaches, who are the Hokie Way kind of people through and through, coupled with the cozy comfort of Blacksburg/rural SWVA and VT's excellent academics & dining, will attract the right kind of athletes in order to field competitive ball teams in the ACC. NIL will remain that crazy wild idea that only the foolish schools with tons of money laying around will recklessly embrace, and the NCAA will do the right thing, soon, to correct the imbalance it has exacerbated. Each mediocre to poor season will pepper in just enough flashes of success to keep the administration afloat and able to say things like "There were plenty of positives this past season that we will be able to build on for next season. That'll be our year!"
I would have liked to have seen him get more time than Rechsteiner. But you have to play defense at a certain level to get floor time.
We shall see if VT wants to be 12-25 or win in men's basketball. Simple as that. To win today, you need to buy coaches that know how to teach inbounding the basketball and identify players/have connections with mercenaries. Then you need to buy the players. Wake, St. Johns, New Mexico, McNeese, Clemson wanted to be decent/good in hoops. Let's see if we want to. bottom line.
Nope. In professional basketball, Brown would have a contract.
I am going to take the positive view of this situation. May we are planning to do that and we told Mr. Brown to look for another home because we were bringing in better players.
This is how professional basketball works.
Thank you!

It's an easy fix. Wake did it a couple years ago, Louisville last year, McNeese last year. Just go buy a fucking D1 high major team. Just go buy a team. It's not climbing mt everest. Have your assistants find guys that fit the system from Arkansas, Michigan, Gonzaga, or a hundred ACC players you missed on in recruiting the first time. Wofford is good- buy some of their guys. I am being dead serious.
I don't blame anyone for wanting to run away from this basketball program right now.
I wonder what he has been offered and by whom.
Hell yeah here we go again!
Geology rocks, but Geography's where it's at.
I recently started making congee in my rice cooker. Game changer.
Hard to believe I first made an account 9.5 years ago. I lurked for a bit before then, but graduating right at the tail end of the Tyrod dominance and subsequent shift to LT3, I too needed some explanation of why we suddenly were not good and just never left.
yeah, you one of the OGs fersure
From the Roanoke Time article last week
The 32-team WBIT will be held at host sites for the first three rounds, which will air on ESPN Plus. The semifinals and final will be held at Butler's historic Hinkle Fieldhouse in Indianapolis and will air on ESPNU.
When the Hokies were last left out of the NCAAs in 2019, the WNIT was the only option for NCAA Tournament wallflowers. The WNIT still exists, but the NCAA-run WBIT is now the top option for NCAA bystanders.
The NCAA, which runs the NIT on the men's side, started the WBIT so there could be an equivalent NCAA-sponsored tournament for NCAA wallflowers on the women's side. Teams have to pay to host games in the WNIT, but the NCAA foots the bill for WBIT teams. Virginia played in the inaugural WBIT last year
When I see the tournament name WBIT, I just have this mental image and audio going through my head with Elmer Fudd pronouncing the "Wa-Bit" tournament.
Yet another reason to despise Harvard.
Pro- NCAA is the only tournament anyone - including boosters and recruits care about. By Far. NIT- Pro- nothing. none.
Thank you. Finished The Way of the Hermit last night. Next on the list is The Demon of Unrest about the time between Lincoln's election and the bombardment of Fort Sumter.
