ESPN controls the playoff. My comment has nothing to do with ND's contractual relationship with the ACC.

Just got back from Kauai/Big Island, spent about 4 days in both plus 1.5 days in Honolulu (I've been before, so wanted to focus on the other islands this time). Ive been to the big 4 Hawaiian islands now (Maui, Oahu, Kauai, Big Island), I think Kauai is my favorite. I stayed on the northern side near Hanalei, and I couldn't believe the landscapes around me. Every morning I woke up and thought I was in Jurassic Park.........probably because some of the movies in the series were filmed there lol.

Things I liked about Kauai:
- North shore, Hanalei Bay is gorgeous, Tunnels beach also very cool
- K'apa had this place called Pono's really good poke, also the Sleeping Giant hike was nearby and had really good views
- Na Pali Coast boat tour, probably the highlight of Kauai for me, I think I wanna work on my swimming skills the next time I go so I can do a snorkeling tour to get even closer to the coast

The downsides:
- Not really a big downside, but the food options were kinda limited for the most part, definitely some good spots, but Oahu or Big Island have more options. Kind of understandable since Kauai doesn't have a big population
- Pretty much one road to go anywhere on the island that could get backed up
- it felt like everything closes at like 6pm, although this is true for a lot of Hawaii

I also did like Big Island a lot:
- Did a tour to the summit of Mauna Kea which was really cool. It was fun to be above the clouds and watch the sunset
- Saw the manta rays up close. I'm not the strongest swimmer, and open water isn't really my thing, so I decided not to get in the water with the manta rays (I kinda wish I did in hindsight, I would've been fine lol). But I booked a canoe tour and was able to see them up super close still
- Volcanoes national park, Kailauea erupted literally the day before, but not when I was there, but still cool to see the park
- I hiked to the bottom of the Polulu Valley trail where there's a black sand beach and a really cool view of the valley.

Downsides of Big Island
- Everything is kinda spread out - it is the Big Island after all, so you do kinda have to account for travel time. I think a week would be perfect to see most things
- car rentals were way more expensive than the other islands
- Parking in Kona, especially near downtown can be a pain

I think one sort of regret I had is that I packed too much stuff in and didn't allow for enough time to just chill. My main reason for going on this Hawaii trip(aside from finding a good deal on flights) was to get away from work stress and escape the NYC winter. I would almost advise folks who wanna go to Hawaii to pick one island and just stay there for a week and figure out what activities you want to do, but don't forget to enjoy "island time" by just chilling on the beach or relaxing in paradise.

How does the tweet have a timestamp of tomorrow?

Wait, what? They scored 3 points?

One reason why VT has such value.
What pro teams are in the state, Washington Football team? Some NASCAR events?
