be forewarned- Loeffler's best days as a coordinator were against coaches that he once worked for.
forgot to include the /s at the end of my post. Aware of the ND truck visits.
bring back Coach Jagz and you have a hokie hate dream team
I'd be interested to see this overlay-ed with population density. My guess is that you would see a strong correlation. There's a reason it takes 30 mins to go 5 miles in Northern VA...and it's not just the Maryland drivers.
It would make sense that Northern VA kids dominate the enrollment. I would assume the same would hold true for any in-state VA schools.
Okies cover & win outright. Sooner fans tear down the "Houston to the Big XII" tent in the parking lot after the game and burn it.
UGA beats the spread, and their dog leaves something for the Tar Heels to step in.
Saban and the evil empire cover.
Clemson wins big, covers easily, Dabo utters more stupid comments afterward.
ND covers easily. Things are not alright, alright, alright in Bevoland
OleMiss thinks FSU is Bama, Chad Kelly throws up a prayer pass, but his receivers seemingly think that it's a soccer game and head the ball all the way to the end zone where it is caught for a TD. Rebs win.
Bucky Hodges could almost lay down in that thing.
It's worse than I thought...!
Happy to oblige. Ftr, I only think they cover the spread. First games are sometimes closer than expected
Seems Torrian took "DBU" with him...
It's more of a housing issue than a parking issue. The Town has pushed housing, especially off campus student housing, farther and farther out. Instead of trying to build density near Main Street, we have large lots at Fiddlers Green and new student housing at The Retreat across 460. Sprawled housing necessitates driving, requiring parking lots that take up valuable real estate. Driving centered planning destroys the walkability that downtowns like Blacksburg's thrive on (walkability is better for business). Sprawled housing and zoning separation of uses allows for strip malls like University City Boulevard, where they just put in a variety of chains, and places like First & Main, both of which are drive-to destinations that take away from Main St.
My response might be a little long, but this is something I'm passionate about. For a small town, too many people are forced to drive around Blacksburg. Students should be able to walk to class. Most can't because housing is too far away. Like I said above, sprawled housing=parking, and many businesses around downtown have private lots and will tow you if you park there and try to walk around. When students take up parking, townies won't even attempt to go certain places. When parking is private, it limits people walking and wandering into places like Mike's. When housing is so far away and you have to drive, it's easier to go to Cookout or just stay home.
Blacksburg, as currently constructed, will struggle to fill vacancies in its downtown core without putting in wealthy chains. There is not a critical density of housing to support all the local businesses.
Like Louisville, huh?
Gotta admit, I was hoping that the USC Song Girls would make an appearance.
Leg for the GIF cause, Jack McBrayer...but definitely agree with the comment above.
Or our coach brought his philosophy with him...
I still kick myself for not buying one of those pro combat jerseys
All-Maroon, it is OUR color. Orange is a nice accent, nothing more.

Pro Combat all the way!
BYU might get a spot if they can get over the logistics of their teams not playing on Sundays.
Any chance they're looking for a former VT student with specifically 3 months experience of CDL driving?
I apologize for wanting 5 seconds to grieve over the loss of something that held valuable memories to me. I forgot that I was on the internet and should instead be a comedy bot 24/7.
