In the first part it looked like the plane flew into the copter because of the angle. In the second that the Copter flew into the plane.
With all due respect, under no circumstance should this ever be possible. If it means shutting down the airspace around commercial airports, or at the very least around standard landing and takeoff patterns of active runways absolutely do it. Safety above all, and we have been flirting with disaster for too damn long.

# | Notre Dame expected to play at least two of Clemson, Miami and FSU each season as part of new ACC/ESPN deal. I agree on one hand with what VPIhokie is stating in terms of what has Miami done. Nothing.
However, they did say "brand". And Miami as a brand is nationally known regardless of how they are playing and are obviously located in a premier city in the country.
In terms of how programs are doing, we've been way better overall the past 20 years than they have.
We have been a twice. Hiking trails all over, and all have great views. We did a different one about every morning - all under 3 miles - and did not have a bad hike. The helicopter tour was an all time favorite, even for someone afraid of heights who sat cowering in the back. Not sure i could have sat in the front. A scale of the area you cannot get anywhere else. We also did a jeep tour - we all enjoyed it, but not special. We took a day trip to the south rim of the Grand Canyon - go online and get a date/time slot ahead of time. Stopped at the Sunset Crater Volcano national park (relatively recently active cinder cone volcano),, and Wupaiki National Monument (ancient adobe village/trading center ruins), and Navaho rest top for Navaho (Fry Bread) tacos for early lunch on the way. Split one if you stop... Drove through the South Rim National park stopping at every overlook but not hiking, and drove back the back way. About 14 hours round trip with all the stops. Well worth it if you have not been to those areas. The are also several very nice small National parks between Sedona and Phoenix if you are coming in that way (Montezum's Castle, Montezuma's Well and the petroglyphs park (V Bar V) were all just a mile or two off the interstate and worth seeing). If from Vegas stop at the Dam and take some Dam pictures from the bridge. We were a little disappointed in much of the food. Elote was good, but pricey. We had the rattlesnake, antelope and bison with margaritas sitting outside at the Outlaw Grill, which was fun, and a great brisket brunch at the HP Cafe. The ladies enjoyed sipping wine with a view at Winery 1912 while the guys went across the street to the brewery (with a stop at the dispensary behind the Matterhorn) as a break from looking at the tourist shops. The ladies liked shopping at Tlaquepaque village, but I sat in the brewery there having meh local beer while watching TV most of the time they looked around. The whole place really shuts down at night. We found nothing going on after 10:00, which on the plus side made it easier to get up and hike before it got hot.

# | Notre Dame expected to play at least two of Clemson, Miami and FSU each season as part of new ACC/ESPN deal. It has noe been a complete failure, no. But it hasn't been great and he's not some untouchable performer. He gets credit for hiring Buzz Williams and letting him hire his 50 person support staff and giving him all his little perks. He gets credit for that. He also allowed all of that momentum to disappear within 5 years. We are bad/irrelevant again in men's hoops. That's on him. He made a terrible hire - a program killing hire in Justin Fuente- I don't give a fuck what talking heads said "at the time"- this is a results business and fuente killed the most important program at VT. On the backs of that disater, he hires a first time head coach and 2 first time coordinators. Brilliant. He bends over for Nike, and he let's Kenny Brooks walk for a lateral job. If Pry is 6-6 next year, both he and Whit should go.
yeah some "federal" thing AND the fact that the service academies don't exist to prop up minor league NFL football. Their mission is a bit more than that - still today, believe it or not. The cadets are there to get an education and serve their country, not to chase fake NIL bag. If they want to do that, they wouldn't go there in the first place or they are free to leave before their junior year without the service commitment.

# | Notre Dame expected to play at least two of Clemson, Miami and FSU each season as part of new ACC/ESPN deal. "Princeton and Yale are by far the greatest football programs"
" therefore limiting their economic opportunities to participate in the NIL marketplace " - he's old enough to declare for the NFL- so go there you fucking entitled ass. If he's not good enough for the NFL, nobody is going to pay him any LEGITIMATE ad money anyway. It's all 100% fucked.
I didn't bring him up someone else did....but oh well.
Did we get this thread shut-down yet?

# | Notre Dame expected to play at least two of Clemson, Miami and FSU each season as part of new ACC/ESPN deal. Biggest Whit mistake was overreacting to Fuente's inaugural season and giving him the extension (Link Here).

# | Notre Dame expected to play at least two of Clemson, Miami and FSU each season as part of new ACC/ESPN deal. Sure, lets take it all the way out. Princeton and Yale are by far the greatest football programs of all time, with 55 championships combined. Nevermind that their last titles were in 1950 and 1927, respectively. I went ahead and took the liberty of not considering those relevant. I think titles in the last 50 years is a pretty reasonable metric.
You think media rights are being negotiated based on what 20 year olds think?

# | Notre Dame expected to play at least two of Clemson, Miami and FSU each season as part of new ACC/ESPN deal. When he was hired we were an ACC cash cow, printing them money through high leverage and high profile games, getting us invited as at large to the BCS bowls, getting invited to major showcase events, and even holding our own in sports other than football.
This is somewhere between revisionist history/misrememberence/incorrect.
At the time whit was hired, Virginia Tech football had its first 6 win season, which would be followed by a 7 win season, and another 6 win season. Basketball (under James Johnson) was worse off than it is now. WBB was irrelevant.
Since then, both basketball teams have won the ACC (something that was unthinkable), both basketball teams made or tied their deepest tournament run in program history, and the football team made a higher that everyone thought was a home run.
That doesn't mean that whit has been a perfect athletic Director, and it doesn't mean that he's the right person to move this athletic department forward.
Whit is not without his failures, and I think there is a myriad of fair criticism to be made, but I do think it's ridiculous to call his tenure a complete failure.

# | Notre Dame expected to play at least two of Clemson, Miami and FSU each season as part of new ACC/ESPN deal. We are still getting invites to showcase games. Game 1 next season is the Chick-fil-A Kickoff. I know we expect to get bullied right now as a fan base but we got the invite.
Not that bad of a guy. You must be not that bad of a guy either. Seek help, my guy.

# | Notre Dame expected to play at least two of Clemson, Miami and FSU each season as part of new ACC/ESPN deal. My thoughts:
- Big brands playing big brands is better for the ACC
- Valuing a brand is tough, but I would've guessed that these are the top three college football brands in the ACC.
- However, as of eight days ago, the Wall Street Journal has ranked Virginia Tech as the most valuable college football program in the ACC and the 22nd most valuable college football team in the country
- At the end of the day, this is the ACC looking for extra cash on the margins. It does nothing to help the teams in the conference compete with the power 2.
