Same here, best I've ever seen with my own two eyes. And yes, as was pointed out right above me, that game was one of the bigger what-could've-beens in VT history
Cables news and all 30,000 people watching it.
OMG, I'm hearing it over the ham radio:
"So Long, thanks for all the fish".

Need to make these hires quick. OL need to know who their coach is. But also understand Pry is in a tough spot, it's also very important they nail these hires in all aspects of the job.
If he's trying to hire someone off of a playoff team here's hoping they get bounced in the first round (unless it's SMU, go Stangs, show out for the ACC)

# | Michael Vick in discussion to become Norfolk State head coach Let's see him actually coach first.
If he's good, then the chatter should start.
I'm just hoping Whit doesn't decide to schedule a home and home.
He's my favorite quarterback on the roster
Good for Mike, but I'm already annoyed at the inevitable calls for him to come to Tech.
Easy there killer.
Damn dude, sounds like you haven't ever worked for a good manager. I've worked for some shitty bosses, so I've learned the value of working in a place where I have a good manager. I've worked for a couple that were willing to give me more responsibility, let me work on different things to expand my skill set, work more directly with senior management for exposure, etc. AND understand the importance of your family/home life and understand if you need to take leave suddenly. To me, those types of managers are worth sticking around for, even if you aren't getting paid as much as you might if you hopped around, because you can add a lot to your resume and it's usually actually nice to work in an environment like that.
Granted, sometimes working someplace a long time raises just as many questions - like you were developing skills and broadening experience.
But sometimes, you have a family member with a long term health challenge, so something that is a kind of light workload and not a lot of responsibility is a good place to be awhile.
I'm not suggesting being in the same place for 10 or 20 years. You're right, there's value in getting experience in several places. But someone that hops every year, in some cases that may be okay, other times you might really need stability. And, I'd also suggest you probably aren't getting the full experience value of a place if you don't stay around 2 years.
Ryan Williams is rumored to be going in the portal.
We were competing at the top level of those sports? Our football record vs top 5 is bad, our record vs top 10 isn't much better. We're 8-24 against ranked teams in the past 11 seasons. We are 7-20 against the top ten winninest programs. We've won the Big Least and all- basketball conferences for out football championships. We've had 4 players win awards in total.
Basketball is worse because the last decade is the pinnacle of VT basketball, an ACC championship, something like 5 straight NCAA tournament appearances, a sweet 16. There isn't a better time for VT basketball.
I am not saying that things don't need to change, but Duke and Cuse both won 9 games. If you think that Xavier Chaplin is going to make a huge difference to Auburn or Gunner Givens is going to make Vanderbilt, it ain't happening. Let Auburn waste their money, let Delane get burned by Ryan Williams. Don't take this as hard feelings they should take the money. But there won't be the ROI anyone is looking for.
Really hoping we move on at least two of the vacancies this week. Lots of portal targets going off the board and with an incomplete staff I can't imagine we're an easy sell
One of my favorite things I found out on here is that Michael Vick's daughter is the QB for her college flag football team.
"Oh sweet, their QB is a girl, this should be easy, bro."
I honestly don't know what kind of athlete she is, but c'mon, it's probably safe to assume she humiliated some frat bros on the football field.
I hadn't heard that stat about 2013 FSU that's pretty wild.
There are certainly a lot of ways to look at it. The 2019 LSU was probably one of if not the most potent college offense I've seen as well. As far as just an assembly of dominant talent that went on to also be dominant in the NFL, I have to go with the 2001 Miami team if looking from that perspective. From that team, 17 FIRST round picks, a 38 total draft picks, and a combined 43 Pro Bowls as of 2013. That's pretty dang impressive.
Congrats to Michael Vick, and good luck!
Congrats, Mike
BREAKING: Michael Vick has agreed to contract terms to become Norfolk State's head football coach according to multiple sources, report @ByDavidTeel and @mcsauls. https://t.co/48bUx37naH— Jami Frankenberry (@JamiVP) December 17, 2024
The only thing worse than social media is cable news legitimizing it by reporting it as news.
Tyler Smedley, Walk on OL in the portal
I could be wrong, but I believe he came in for victory formation to end the UVA game.
Ha fair enough. Can you tell I've never had this is sort of money to gift/donate?
Now that I'm looking it up instead of just talking out my ass, it appears that if you donate below a certain amount then it isn't taxable (I think $15k). But that's not the case for a gold TransAm or $500k lump sums.
I always find this to be a fascinating conversation. The NCAA made this rule that student athletes couldn't be paid so schools couldn't compensate/pay them directly for their efforts (which would have been legal). So instead this black market that includes tax evasion on gifts develops.
blacksburg has changed so much that any recommendations youre likely to get here are mostly useless. active students, recent grads, and maaaaybe townies are likely to be your best resource
I mean we have people shooting lasers at planes and helos and threatening to shoot guns at manned aircraft in some misguided fear of this mass hysteria of the unknown and we want to do "drone strikes" jokes on social media. That seems like Pete Morris level tone deafness.
I lived at Windsor Hills. Mostly grad students or families so it will be quiet. It's farther out but the bus still goes out there. Price was solid because it's older apartments.
