Fernley Hokie, you travel all the time. Favorite airline (and why)? Favorite place/hotel? What's on your bucket list of places you would like to still visit? For those of us who may still get to Asia, what are your top 5 must-see sites or cities?

Ha ha ha.
Me too, I clicked and was like 'nice truck, but where's the video about our new cleats?!'

In TKP-ese, 'trailer' means kick ass video that pre-hypes you for the season. Post-hyping is allowed as well.
However, using 'trailer' to refer to wheeled transport is confusing.

| 9 years 10 months # | Big 12 informs ECU they are no longer being considered for expansion.

Close, possibly. They are pretty bad in this area and their only fueled by a delusion that they deserve to be on equal footing as an Alabama or Ohio State because they were able to beat a few ACC teams over the years. This is the same delusion that got Ruffin fired last year despite everything that man did for that program.

They really did think they could just say "we want in" and the Big 12 would welcome them with open arms thinking how fortunate they were to be allowed the opportunity to bring ECU on. Reality just gave them a very large slap across the face and its going to take some time for it to sink in.

They could deliver the entire state of NC... fuckin please...

Less ECU can't be a bad thing for VT

Not being in a P5 conference might mean less ECU for VT (w/ ACC schedule rules changing...they might be dropped)

BigXX Publicly announcing ECU not in contention means ECU not joining a P5 anytime soon

ECU being dropped can't be a bad thing for VT

I am also into sours and, more specifically, gose beers. There is a new one from Dogfish Head called Sea Quench Ale that I hear is spectacular but everywhere I buy beer up here is out of stock so I haven't tried it yet. For your girl, Sour Me This isn't bad, Westbrook Gose is very good, and I really liked Ready Set Gose by South Street. Flying Dog and Troegs both made goses as experiment beers this summer and both were good but I haven't seen them available lately. And if you like a wit, Slippery When Wit is like nothing I've ever had before, but not really very sour/tart, but very good. Stay away from Aunt Sally by Lagunitas, it's terrible. Sixpoint Jammer is another sour beer worth giving a shot.

OT... I saw GT was only -3 against BC..... I put down $35 on GT thinking they would easily cover the 3 point spread

Oh I thought it was a video. It's an actual trailer for a heavy duty truck. That thing better run on LNG.

On second thought, maybe I'll make a video trailer of all the trailers.

Fair point, I'd kinda forgotten about them a bit but I do agree they have an impressive list. I do think the two I listed have a tendency to bring out some truly unique selections more often though, just based on my visits to all those places.

I'll be honest I don't really hate Mellow Mushroom being in Blacksburg, I just wish they did a little better job with wait times (once seated) and getting orders correct. It seems to be a risk there, but they do normally try to make it up to you when they screw up.
