I'd give it a whirl.
Of course, I'd have to get my 40 time back down under 9 sec, gain about 50 pounds of muscle, and my current 8 inch vertical leap is not doing me any favors at the combine at all.
Ah, they must have heard the recent rumblings on TKP and decided it was best to satisfy our demands.

She made some mistakes in the last game against Columbia, but other than that she's been solid. The goal that was scored during regulation today was almost unlockable. Christen Press is the one who royally screwed up today and Alex Morgan is a better PK shooter than she showed today (but it was a great save by the Swedish keeper).
Those Bills like those Hokie players

# | Developing Depth Still on the Hokies' Agenda as the Second Week of Fall Camp Begins Yes, this. I can't give any #sauces or anything but I get the feeling that Loeffler is football smart but interpersonal dumb.
Whhhhhhhheeere did you find this gem?! This is awesome!
Good for him but football contracts are trash. The NFLPA need to push for 100% guaranteed or these players with back loaded contracts will just be let go after a few seasons with significantly less than the signed amount
Ask Jerramy Stevens
Crappy joke placed in poor taste. Knee jerk reaction. My apologies to him and TKP.
The last 2 games, the US Women have looked like crap. They more than earned the loss today, and for the 2nd time in 4 major tournaments, they're eliminated in the shootout. They had their chances, yes, but their talent is far, far superior to that of Sweden, and to call it anything but a monumental choke to come home without a medal would be inaccurate.
Hope Solo hasn't looked great. How has she been doing outside the Olympics?
It holds that nobody has won Olympic gold the year after winning the world cup...
Sweden just eliminated the US Women's Soccer team from the Olympics. For the first time in Olympic history, the US Women's Soccer team will not earn a medal
There have been multiple comments on this thread about State Street, but I'm getting excited about having so many visitors to our little town in just about another 25 days, so I decided I would compile a post with pretty much all you need to know about the street that borders two states. I posted about the events that Discover Bristol is having on State Street in a post above, but in case you didn't see, go here. They'll be closing State Street off to traffic on 9/8 and 9/9 and there'll be live music, events highlighting the Bristol sign, a brewfest featuring 40+ breweries (info here), bands from both schools, corn hole tournaments, and chances to meet and get autographs from former players. As a local, I've got to see State Street really grow in the last couple of years, and it's been exciting to watch. While I enjoy spending time shopping at the new Pinnacle shopping center or grabbing dinner with my friends at the mecha known as Exit 7, State Street is truly is my favorite place to go in Bristol. The atmosphere will be great during game week, especially since VT flags will be on the Virginia side of the street, and UT flags on the other. It will truly be something to see. Apart from the events that Discover Bristol is putting on, here are some tips as to what all downtown Bristol and State Street has to offer:
You can pretty much do anything on State Street. There are multiple restaurants, small businesses, attractions, and historical sites. First, we'll start with food. There are a lot of great restaurants, and a lot of them have great night life. First, we have Macado's, which isn't foreign to many of you. We have 620 State, which has great sushi and stir fry-esque food. It's really good and they often have great music. It's kind of expensive but it's worth it if you're in the mood for it, though I'd probably avoid that restaurant as UT is claiming it as their restaurant for the week. VT's restaurant is Quaker Steak and Lube. It's a chain, so many of you have probably ate there before. They have good food and a great atmosphere for fun. They often have bands playing on their outside patio and it's always a good time there at night. I'm looking forward to spending time there the week prior to the game. Then there's Burger Bar, which opened in 1942, and is iconic. If you're in the mood for just a sandwich (or all flavors of bagels), you can find one at KP Duty or Manna Bagel. If you want chinese, Shang Hai is the place for you. If you're willing to walk, Cootie Browns is a just a couple blocks from State Street and it's really good as well! If you want some home cooked, country comfort food, try Eatz! The owner is a really nice guy, and the food is really good. In the mood for pizza? Try Machiavelli's or Little Italy. If you're out late and want good atmosphere and food and drinks, try State Line Bar and Grill!
After all that, looking for dessert? GO TO BLACKBIRD BAKERY! It deserves all of the capital letters and its own paragraph. There you can find cakes, pies, doughnuts, ice cream, and any other treat you can imagine. You're welcome in advance. They have many places to enjoy your treats inside and outside and it's a really good place to chill. And the best part? They're open 24/7.
While there will be a Brewfest on the streets on 9/8, if you're looking for bars, you can go to Quaker Steak, 620 State, State Line Bar and Grill, Macado's, and O'Mainnins Pub. There's also Studio Brew and Bristol Brewery. All Most of these places have great atmospheres and should be a lot of fun with fans from both teams in town.
Okay, but what about attractions? There are plenty. Bristol recently just opened an Escape Room on State Street. It would be a good thing for families to do, as it involves group problem solving. There's the Birthplace of Country Music museum, which is an affiliate of the Smithsonian. There's the Paramount Theatre. I'm not sure what the Paramount will have going on during this week, but it's something to keep in mind. There's Kil'n Time, which is a ceramic/pottery studio. There is also a veterans war memorial in Cumberland Square Park.
And shopping? There is tons of shopping. I doubt most of you are interested, but it's still good to know, regardless. There are multiple men and women's clothing and shoe stores that are one-of-a-kind and that I truly adore. There are tons of antique shops. There's Cranberry Lane that sells home decor and is really unique. There's Phyl's of Bristol where you'll be able to pick up Virginia Tech gear if needed. I'm assuming that most of these stores will be having extended hours throughout the week along with events, so be sure to check them out and give them business. I know many of the shop owners personally, and they're great people. 160,000+ people coming to town is a great opportunity for them.
Most of all, just enjoy your time in Bristol. Visit The Pinnacle. Visit South Holston Lake and take in the beautiful scenery. Visit Steele's Creek and Sugar Hollow parks. Go to Pal's. Make sure that that all of Tennessee fans know we're there, too. Enjoy guys!
methinks they are referring to chuck clarke, but yes austin clark was originally a USCe commit i believe (or at least they were the other school in his final two)

The only correct answer is Modern Warfare.
Real happy for TT. Evident he's been working hard as a Bill.

Truer words may have never been spoken!
Now someone at VT get the man on the phone, time to talk a sizable donation!
If this happens, expect the yearly salaries of all players to plummet or all contracts are going to be short term. No one in the NFL is going to risk signing a $90 million guaranteed deal over six years in the NFL (risk of injury, etc).
Although I fully agree that owners should be held accountable for the quantity of money they waive in front of players and the way contracts are structured.
