Congrats on the marathon, which I wouldn't have run for love or money, ok mabe a lot of money, but I got ya on the knees. Surveying in the mountains and a lifelong abuse of my joints have left me with a couple of unreliable pins. Old enough to wonder if it's worth it to get more work done running for anything other than a fly ball in a softball game is something I've never wanted to do. Still, it would be nice to have knees that would run if they had to, or needed to. That'd be cool.
Wife just made me go to the Food Lion to get her some Craisons for her stuffing. Store was packed with other idiots that didn't get it done yesterday.
Thanks for your post, sen. Seems like it's easier to gripe than to be happy these days, and things of importance have a way of changing so quickly you can wonder what was the big deal in the first place. And not to mention how easy it is to think good times will always be with us as others suffer. Like you, I am thankful to have the Hokies to root for and I'm too old to change that regardless of the who's and whats the Jimmies and the Joes and this year's record. Hope you and yours have a good day and don't worry a bit, I'll obsess enough about the UVa game for the both of us and I'll raise a glass to ya to boot.
Happy FAMgiving to all of TKP!
Thank you for making me laugh and cry. Thank you for giving me various perspectives to contemplate.
You all make my day. For that, I am grateful.
Since this is a Virginia Tech sports site, I'd like to celebrate the VT-related player/coach/moments I am most thankful for.
I am thankful for Frank Beamer and the ~30 years of AWESOMENESS Virginia Tech football was from roughly 1993 to 2011! And I am thankful for Bryan Still's punt return in the 1995 Sugar Bowl vs Texas that helped springboard Virginia Tech football to national prominence.
Any thankful VT people or moments (in any sport) folks would like to share?
I so miss being able to run. Too many knee surgeries and too many years to do it now.
Thankfully I did manage to do the bucket list marathon completion when the years were low enough and there had only been 1 knee surgery. Would have regretted not making it for the rest of my life if I hadn't done it.
FAM !!

I smoked a ham that I cured. Working on the glaze now. And then will set the glaze in an oven.
There have been some things going on in life that have made any concerns about the football season a non-issue. I still don't think everyone should be as worked up as they are, though. I'm thankful I have a team to root for, regardless of quality.
anxious to hear how the cutlets turn out!
kids and their red beast (pit mix) are coming over Saturday; so we'll smoke a (very) small bird then (and some sausage for snacking). should be worn out enough to sleep thru the game if needed.
today it's homemade cinnamon rolls for breakfast and shrimp for dinner
In fairness to Mike Young and this year's team, 3 of our 4 consecutive non-conferences losses have been to two Big 10 teams and an SEC team. Those Ricky Stokes/James Johnson teams were playing almost exclusively low- and mid-major teams in the non-conference portion of the schedule.
But it's still a sucky stat to have!

# | Hokie Hoops Central: Virginia Tech (3-3) vs South Carolina (3-3) 6pm FS1 Amen. I want Hammond, Johnson, Jones, and Young to get experience together. Bring in Gurdak and Sincere Jones next year and you now have a starting five that can grow together.
I mean, maybe, but that feels like it would just be kicking the can marginally further down the road.
Waaaaay back in the day, I met a girl from Woodson at an all state band weekend and we hit it off so well that I invited her to my prom. Then, a week before the prom, my old girlfriend and I got back together. Whooops! Old girlfriend lived a few miles away, Woodson was way up in NOVA. Old girlfriend was fiery blonde Italian whose temper was legendary. Both girls were gorgeous, but old girlfriend's daddy was a tempermental cop who doted on his daughter. Yep, I called it off with the Woodson flute player, and she'd already bought her dress, went to the prom with the Indian River flute player who broke up with me a couple of months later. I have always felt like the heel I was, and if I could just go back and do it differently, but 1968 is just too far back to fix it.
Air frying turkey cutlets (first time) since there's just the two of us, but already getting nervous about the game Saturday. Nevertheless, hope one and all have a Happy Thanksgiving!
Happy Thanksgiving from foggy St Augustine
Bryan ran right at us in our end zone seats. Damn fine game, damn fine time in our first trip to NO. Not new for me to say, but the UVa game that sent us to the Sugar Bowl that year was my all time favorite football game. To be there, on the 50 with a bunch of 'hoos just made it more special. The party afterward was so dead (I was staying with some die hard 'hoos) but I couldn't even talk I was so hoarse from yelling.
