I'm a homebrewer and keg most of my beer. I started reserving one tap for carbonated water a year or two ago. I add a few dashes of angostura bitters if I feel like having a bit of flavor as well. It's really reduced my beer drinking.

Not related to the DC search and maybe more of a question/comment for Joe or one of the moderators - I typically use the Tracker list at the top of the page to keep tabs on various threads, which will tell me when there are unread comments, and then I typically use the "N" hotkey to go straight to the new comments within the threads. Since this is now a 2 pager most of the new comments are on the second page. When I open the thread it loads Page 1 so I'll need to scroll to the bottom and click on Page 2, but I guess it counts that as viewing the thread so then the "N" hotkey then doesn't work for Page 2 and I need to scroll through and see what time comments were posted to try and find recent ones if I want since none of them are yellow.

Is there anyway around that by having it load straight into Page 2?

No, VT is bound by "state laws" on every meaningless bullshit thing that hinders no other major college program. LED lights, and we probably have to leave the job open in the roanoke times for 60 days and interview 300 people. State laws, you know- that OSU, Clemson, Bama are not bound by regarding their football programs.

"We just don't have that kind of $$$"- fact, not changing anytime soon and makes the ceiling 7 wins if we learn how to use timeouts and manage duplicate numbers. It is what it is . "Recruiting Virginia" is not going to bring us back to the ACC CG. It's a hope and a prayer and nothing else.

If Pry didn't care about wins, he wouldn't have made staffing changes in this offseason.

It's fair to criticize the record, or the actions they're taking, but it isn't fair to say they aren't trying, when they've clearly made some changes to the program. A football program is more like an aircraft carrier than a speedboat, and it does take time to turn one around, particularly when you're on a budget that's smaller than many other teams.

Duke has made some progress with their football program. They've made some good hires. UNC has made some big splash hires, that helped with recruting.

And this is all happening under a backdrop of massive TV contracts and "pay to play" being quickly and recently introduced into college football.

It's hard to do more with less when the competition is pouring money into college football at alarming rates. Ohio State spent $20 million on the team that just won the National Championship, and this is on top of lucrative TV contracts and an already strong program. It's going to be very hard to compete with programs that have aimless money.

Virginia Tech has had some level of success with consistency in the past. We've never been a program that could fire head coaches after three years, pay their expensive buy-out, and try another one. We just don't have that kind of $$$. So we have to give them a little longer and hope they can work some things out with incremental change.

We have high expectations, but an average budget. Pry needs to hire the best he can get at this point, as if his job depends on it. Because it does. As far as I'm concerned, he can take all the time he needs.

What are you guy's water alternatives for staying hydrated? I'm 100 percent a ok with plain water for 99% of the time, but man, do I love my Bubly. It had to grow on me first, but I have it in the fridge at all times now. I actually think Liquid Death is better (despite them adding agave and it being a 20 cal drink) but its EXPENSIVE.

Not all flavors are good though....I've come to find that any blend more than one flavor tends to have terrible aftertaste. Limoncello was awful too.
