My only ragret is that I can only give you one leg for this!
Hi I'm Eric.
Born and raised and currently still reside in Bland Co VA. I love VT anything. I also enjoy turkey hunting, and still do a little white tail hunting. Can not wait to get back to the crystal coast and surf fish for a week. I'm a Correctional officer by night, sleepy man by day. If you have any questions I'll answer to the best of my ability.
Hi I'm Sarah
I work for UCF at the athletic academic office. I am the team mom/hovering parent and attendance lady. My interests include but not limited to scheduling classes & tutoring, class checks, learning new slag and handshakes, providing pencils scantrons and many other academic things. I also try to make it to 2 VT games a year, hoping to see VT in Orlando this year as well.
I dislike-> getting calls from professors, NCAA rule change meetings (figure it out NCAA), PB&J, the Off Season, Florida drivers and last but not least getting calls from athlete's parents asking how so and so is. <- hello college kids parents do matter and love to hear how you're doing so please call them they would love it.

# | VT announces plans for a massive $225m Business School complex The vet school just expanded to (I believe) over 120 per class. They just completed an expansion of the school. But if recent years are any indication, the vet job market is already pretty saturated so they should not add any more unless they want their employed grad statistics to plummet.
I should also add: the numbers I list above are not at all scientific, just a gut feeling from watching the world of graduate education for the past few years. It also requires a commensurate hiring of faculty to mentor those grad students, which I hope would happen. Growth for the sake of growth is really bad, especially for grad students. At one point recently, there was a 5:1 ratio of Ph.D.s to available jobs requiring a Ph.D. That's really bad. So cranking out more graduates with advanced degrees is not necessarily a good idea. Productive for the university, yes, but not necessarily wise. Otherwise it contributes to a diploma arms race, in which people with advanced degrees take jobs that require less education (think: Ph.D.s taking jobs that would require a M.S. or even a B.S.), therefore increasing the requirements for entry-level jobs. Because, hey, if you've got a desperate Ph.D., who clearly has lots of skills and needs a paycheck, why would you hire someone with a B.S.?
Heading down on the 8th. Between new job and getting engaged and fiances new job it has been a long summer. I'm ready for sand and seafood.
Thanks Eshiben! Hopefully it clears in time for the weekend - regardless, the beltway will be gridlocked during this if we get what is forecasted. Safe travels to those in the dc region and across VA the next few days.
It's really simple to explain.
The State Fair of Virginia is going on this week. Hence, a lot of heavy rain. Happens every year. Last year, the last half of the fair actually got rained out.
Yep that would be it. They usually carry some hard to find beers, and some of my personal favorites from Maine Beer Co.

# | Teel Time, ACC Athletic Directors to vote on 8 or 9 game conference schedule Friday. ACC fall meeting is scheduled for October 5-6, where we should get a decision on a 9 conference schedule.
Hopefully they land on 8+2, but with the ability to schedule a non-conference game with a cross-divisional opponent. Then maybe we'd see FSU, Clemson or Louisville on a more frequent basis...
This is my concern - we want to add 20k more students, and we are proposing two on-campus residential buildings to hold only 700? Themed/honors housing is nice, but where are we going to put all these people? It seems like wasteful/inefficient construction when on-campus housing is already overcrowded and affordable off-campus housing is pretty far away from campus. Dining halls will also need to be expanded, library, student center, etc. There literally may not be any open ground on campus anymore when we keep adding buildings with such narrow focus and limited housing capacity. The Town of Blacksburg is also not equipped to handle the school nearly doubling in size at its current status.

My sports interests are Hokie everything, Atlanta Braves baseball, Green Bay Packers football, and NBA basketball in general (though I don't like the Cavs, Spurs, Celtics, Pacers, Pistons, or Jazz at all).

Gotcha! Well my wife is currently working in Rosalyn so I might have to stop by after I pick her up one day!
How many vet grad students and medical school students can Tech grow to?
Right now I work TIER REIT. They are the former Barringer Harvard Group. I've been around the block a bit here in the DC area (CarrAmerica, RREEF, Trammell Crow, MRP Realty, etc.).
Well as there is no game to watch I am going to take a weekend off from heavy drinking at tailgates for the past several weeks by sitting at home and drinking while it rains. Not sure what else to do.
The Brew Shop is about 2 blocks from the metro stop towards Rosslyn on Wilson Blvd. It's one of the shops at the base of an apartment complex that is between Wilson Blvd and Clarendon Blvd.
Thanks for the offer on the kegerator! I've done a ton of research and my father has made one, too. But, I will inevitably run into some problems.
He's only 6'9, but Khadim Sy looks BEASTLY, imo.

I lived in Pinewood Greens off Hyson Lane until 2015 and have been reading your posts for years. Little did I know we were basically neighbors. Small world! Thanks for the amazing content.
Never enough legs to give for Christmas Vacation gifs
Is K-1 the one on Columbia Pike across from CVS? I went there once looking for a special release Heavy Seas. Didn't have it but they did have a good selection. Haven't been back yet though.
Another good place is the Evening Star Cafe in Del Ray area of Alexandria on Mt. Vernon Ave. it's small, but the stuff they have is good. Found two random bottles of 120 minute there a few months ago.
How far in SWVA? Lee County far?
Oh nice! I done a lot of work with MRP around NoMa and Waterfront. I've had one project with Carr, and I've heard of Tier reit but never worked with them. Most of our clients are people like MRP, Shooshan, Vornado, Bernstein Management, Bozzutto, etc.
