I am just glad that the purple and gold tourney they are playing in is hosted by LSU and not ECU.
Hold up... a P4 school has less money and resources than we do? noooo?
Could easily get to a thousand comment OT thread on favorite Far Side bits.
My top two choices are :
for what should be obvious reasons for me.
and #2:
because it epitomized the subtle turning of a common phrase into a hilarious cartoon
I think your underestimating how difficult of a job WVU is:
- The school is literally broke with no way to pay off their debt (source)
- In FY23, they spent $3m less per year on football staff than we do, and spent ~$8m less per year on football ops (recruiting budget, fascilities, etc) (source)
- Playing in the texas-centric B12 as a school in the midatlantic/Appalachia is not easy.
I don't know if Neal Brown will/would work as an OC at VT. I think there are definitely reasons concern. But I don't think his time at WVU is evidence that he would be unable to run an effective offense at VT.
I'll push back on this, Far Side comes close. Nothing is close to those two though.
To be fair, Brown as OC might be what Fuente was supposed to be. An actual legit, tough to defend spread offense. Not one that on every play over 6 yards your run a scared QB draw- which is what Fuente devolved to. We haven't seen a true spread at VT- ever. Could be interesting.
If we're going obscure I'd add Wright Angles.
Totally fine with it, their offense was a lot better than ours for the most part, and we had better skill players
Let us know your thoughts after you watch it, and I'll want to see a review after you go eat there! ;^)
Second series was....okay. Third (the one about American cities) I didn't finish. And no, I haven't seen Master Chef - Pasta. If it's anything near the current season, well, we're not caught up. Have been watching Master Chef Kids during dinners with the kiddos, and haven't advanced well on MC recently.
What's a......newspaper?
Yep- if you don't believe this go to a restaurant with a type 1 diabetic and watch them eat a house salad with grilled chicken on it - no bread- and watch their sugar spike to 390.
You can research WVU's last 30 seasons. They have won BCS games, won bowl games, have had mostly winning seasons. They are not Bama, and they are not the Vandy we saw for the past 29 years by and large. They are what we have been the past 15 years. So naturally while Brent Pry is at THE pivotal point in his career, let's go grab their medicore staff- the staff just like ones we just fired.
"I think that Moore is a really good coach and has not been the issue at WVU"- this is certainly not consensus among WVU fans/alums

# | Dept of Ed: NIL payouts from school are "financial assistance" which are subject to Title IX. Yep, at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, paying male football ballers is at the top of the mission statement now. Fuck women's sports, fuck academics, fuck research, lord football reigns supreme. In America, athletes with any skill or potential are entitled to get their bag. It has even been hinted on here that academics is a secondary mission to big schools now- football is most important. Women's sports will be club sports outside of a few select schools- UCONN hoops, UNC Soccer- those women may be able to garner booster support to keep funding scholarships outside of a title 9 mandate. Whit aint paying a dime to womens sports the moment he is not forced to. This is not hyperbole. Until VT football is not the most important thing in boosters lives, this is where we are headed. Until Marine officers stop throwing away their honor and integrity to cheat for Michigan football, this is what you get. Title 9 is absolutely going away and so is requiring VT football players to be VT students. That is absolutely coming. In America, you can't restrict or have rules around a good high school football player that has done nothing in college (Gunner Givens, thousands of others) from getting the huge bag of cash they are entitled to by dominating lower level HS football. Can't do it. If you have to make VT womens softball an unfunded club sport to pay givens his cash based on what he did in HS? so be it.

# | OT: 2025 Health/Wellness Judgment-Free Zone feat. Accountability I've always heard that extra sugars are added to the non/low fat stuff to improve the flavor after the fats have been removed. I'm not sure how true that is, but I tend to stick to the full fat version because it tastes better (to me). If you're trying to cut out sugar, you might want to compare the nutrition label to see which has less and proceed accordingly.

Yeah I also love it. Has all the anthologies in a basket in the bathroom and the little blurbs from the cartoonist about publication, writing, censorship, were pretty interesting and funny in their own right
As someone else in space...
This is in my office at work
I think that Moore is a really good coach and has not been the issue at WVU. Neal Brown was so-so as head coach and might be better as just an OC (maybe). He's head coaching abilities aren't the best as he made some questionable ingame decisions Having to travel like WVU does csbt help and it has recruiting challenges as there isn't a real pipeline anymore. So who knows if Neal would be a good OC for the hokies, but I'd hate it if he was HC.

I was going through this sub-thread wondering where the love for Bloom County and Outland was. Glad I'm not the only one who enjoyed these strips.
Only Night Watch because that was the book my local library had on the shelf. I'll do that arc properly next.
Have you done the city watch arc yet?
Exactly. If someone says C&H is the most beloved cartoon strip, I'll agree 💯 and it ain't even close.
But don't come at me and try to convince me there is a funnier cartoon than The Far Side. There isn't.
