I liked it more when the WPT were bad and the Hokies were good. We may need to make another sacrifice to the football gods.
If anyone is interested in the Bateman rumors, here's a UNC-quality film review from a UNC site. It's clearly not of the same quality as French's but what else are we going to talk about?
Day 423!! Give it up for day 423 everybody! 🥴
I could be wrong, but I don't think it's happening today, boys.
Looks like Henson will be back for UVA.

Yeah i can't find consistent reports for the exact number but year 1 was $4.0m and year 6 is $5.0m so yeah 4 is $4.6m?
The original assistant budget was $5.5 and we spent $4.4 last year. So we've been saving $1.1m a year for 2 years from our budget. Also assume that we can get the same 200k increase Pry gets every year for assistance then that is $1.7m budget over what we spent last season. Add in Marve's salary and we are close to $2.6m within our budget! There are also escalators for 8 wins and 11 wins. Had we won half the 1 score games we'd be at $3 mil easy.
I have my doubts that the Park Authority be super accommodating to the St. James as a direct competitor. Neighborhood and Community Services handles the field scheduling of park fields so they could try to get some availability there. Nearest rectangles are at Grove Point and Wakefield but they don't have much in the way of spectator seating or locker rooms.
They might have a sell with the politicians if they can speak to the sports tourism angle which was a big help in getting the diamond complex at Patriot Park North done.

# | Hokies Hoops Central: Clemson (16-4) at Virginia Tech (8-11) 5pm ACCN In person it wasn't so bad.... we'd get down, then make it a game, but then they went on another run and that was that.
You wanna go where everybody knows your name!

# | Anyone else tracking this debacle / scandal in Fairfax with Hayfield HS? We are at STJ pretty regularly between swim and lacrosse and the Academy stuff is pretty new, so I was surprised to read this. I dug a little and it looks like they are able to get up and going quickly by partnering with TPH Academy for the academics (remote learning probably). They've carved out classroom/meeting room space where they used to have at least some of their staff offices, but it didn't strike me as being a large area. They do have nice indoor turf space, but where it's located I don't see how they can do anything outside - they'll probably dump a bunch of $$ on Fairfax Parks to get an outdoor field, or maybe swing a deal with one of the private schools in the area to use their stadium when available.
I'm torn between being pissed off about the whole thing and just saying good riddance to them from a public school point of view. But it sure as hell isn't going to help parking at STJ, which already sucks.
I hear there is white smoke rising over Hokie houses in pot legal states. The DC search is driving Hokies to self medication.
Justin Hamilton is probably neck and neck
"he still might be a better DC than Marve". Trying to think if a lower bar exists.
To quote the legendary Bob Uecker, "I don't know what the hell they are doing." All my names except Bob Shoop are off the board, and Shoop is on the downside.
So, is today the day? *crosses fingers*
Ross Dellenger just put out an article on Yahoo which reads like propaganda from Franklin. Apparently Dex was the leading candidate for the job, until Knowles became interested. Somehow Dellenger was a fly on the wall and overheard a quote between Dex and Franklin, with Dex saying "Oh we could really get Jim?" And turned down "other P4 coordinator offers" to return to PSU and be passed over for a third time.
Smells like a total propaganda piece put out by Franklin. Really hate that POS.

that would make him 1-B like four times running for them. Now none of the guys chosen over him have been slouches so it stands to reason he still might be a better DC than Marve.
If Poindexter was Penn State's choice 1-B after nabbing the champ's DC, why wouldn't that be a ringing endorsement?
Holy Crap! I knew Christian Bale from American Psycho and Batman, but it was only just now that I realized he played Bateman AND Batman.
Obviously Justine. Only way we would have "Satisfaction".
Edit: The only correct response to my post is "$!&$! you are old"
..Washington Pro Team?
in any case, I'm all for making sacrifices to make the Hokies good again. Maybe we can sacrifice all the north carolina basketball schools?
