It happened last month, Carson Beck's cars and Hanna Cavinder's car were stolen.

Possible. As of two minutes ago, she's still in Galena (Holmes is the only one that has left so far), and has been there just over 6 hr.

rooting for Paige (because, obviously) but I would be completely fine if she drops off now and her whole goal was to get a great meal. That's an achievement I would be happy with.

Was Jessie one of the mushers that pulled out of the earlier check point and then took a long rest right outside of town?

We caught some mahi in Costa Rica and they made fresh ceviche right there on the boat. Unbelievable.

I thought last year was the first year with a cover. I am fine with a nominal fee like $10, that seems reasonable for the amount of entertainment fans will receive.

I do think, however, that they should waive it for kids under a certain age though.

They charged $5 in 2022

fair enough. I hope that A) the scuttlebutt is accurate and a 6+ loss season results in significant changes and that B) Pry is able to win 8+ games. I think A is more likely at this point, frankly. But I like Pry and I'm rooting for him to prove me wrong. He's been a decidedly mid coach the entire time he's been here and I think he really screwed the pooch with his first two hires at OC and DC to begin with. They made very little sense to me at the time and, with the benefit of hindsight, they clearly weren't good hires. Not good enough to win more than 6 games, anyway.

I'm down on VT and their chances to salvage anything in 2025. Our roster this year isn't as talented as it was last year and you always have to expect growing pains with new coaching staffs. 2025 feels like a hail mary year for Pry. The hardest part about it is that with all the news Re: ACC revenue sharing this couldn't really happen at a worse time for us. I think this goes all the way back to 2018 when Whit failed to either force Fuente to fire Corny or replace the entire coaching staff then and there. By the end of that season it was clear that Fuente and his coaching staff were in over their heads (particularly Cornelsen) and everything was trending in the wrong direction. By hanging on to him for another 3 years we effectively put ourselves an entire decade behind the competition which was terrible timing given the monumental changes the sport has undergone (and is still undergoing).

VT football's history is going to be looked back upon through a lens of a series of "what-ifs". We had an opportunity to join the SEC in 2010 and passed. We had an opportunity to replace Fuente in 2018 and didn't pull the trigger. We had an opportunity, with the Pry hire, to go after someone with a real track record and opted instead for a guy who had never been a HC at any level before. And he doubled down by hiring super green coordinators on both sides of the ball. It's just been questionable decision after questionable decision for the last 15 years and it's really hurt us. Now we're likely going to be left out of the big picture with most of the rest of college football. We've been faltering for the last decade+ and there couldn't have possibly been a worse time to falter than, well, right now.

.....and that is why they were shut out of ACC awards this year....

Yeah I definitely remember discussions about how charging $5 or $10 for the spring game would be an easy win for raising money

Duffy has others available that she used most of the season but the last two weeks it's been only 7 maybe 8. Today only played 7.

My bigger problem was it seemed like alot of hero ball today. Don't have the personnel to play that way for sure. As you mentioned, the interior shooting was awful but they compounded it by not having anyone underneath to rebound.
