This is exactly the sort of thing that has basically convinced me that we won't be successful until Merryman is completely gutted. The LED's seem like such a minor thing, but it's so indicative of the macro situation.

Whatever the variables are that cause this - maybe it's the specific blend of personnel currently in the building, maybe it's the leadership of Whit himself, maybe it's all of the above - we have an AD that moves at a molasses pace, seems to lack vision and leadership, has no urgency, and worst of all (to me) no killer instinct. No will to dominate. No chip on our shoulder.

We've been mediocre for so long now, it seems like our leadership is comfortable with mediocrity. They say they know how important football is, but they don't act or make decisions like it is. And I know that the immediate rebuttal to what I'm saying is always going to be something about lacking the finances. To that I say - horse fucking shit. There are plenty of other comparable D1 programs that seem to do a LOT more with even less of a budget than we have, and they accomplish this by having leadership and admin who are hellbent on winning.

We don't have that. We have feckless leadership who can't even navigate LED light installation without hand wringing and bureaucratic sludge.

I want leadership in Merryman who is mad as fuck about how bad we've been for the last decade lol. Not disappointed. Not "we have to be better". White hot mad. I want urgency and efficiency. I want leadership that earns the dedication of this fantastic fanbase, who are starved of success and have been for too long.

I saw you say that, but took it as a threat lol

Vikings fan here, can confirm this is my general mentality about sports

Let's get this baby to a page 3. C'mon gents!

Maybe the program has been waiting to announce until we hit a comment quota?

Since this thread is for wild speculation.... What if following the declassification of the Greenbrier bunker, they relocated it to VT. All future infrastructure projects then need crazy amounts of approval to not interfere with / uncover the bunker. Would certainly make things like the hassles regarding the Cassell renovation, potentially closing in the south endzone, merryman upgrades, etc a lot easier to digest.

And yes I'm 83% sarcastic about this.

I'm told the LED lights are another "virginia tech is special" not in a good way. Apparently there is some insane procurement process that doesn't hinder UVA, JMU or any of the other 200 division 1 schools. Most schools can do the whole process in a month - bid, install, etc. Apparently VT has to play by other rules- like every fucking thing- and that is the hold up.

Also TV from the 90s looks like it was filmed for Soviet television in 1963.

We're gonna have another election before we have a new DC

Especially an AI that would probably have limited content to go off of and just hallucinate based on tkp and 247 comments.

We legitimately are gonna have the new schedule before we have a new DC, aren't we?
