An Athletic Dept. that isn't afraid to piss people off?
That actually seems like the last thing an athletic department should be doing. This is an odd comment from a guy that constantly posts about how VT alum don't support the athletic department, while supporting changes they make that discourage exactly the demographic that might have the type of disposable income to support the athletic department.
This makes a lot of assumptions that are rather misguided. Personally, I've always been stone sober at games, am quite intelligent, and have the sort of friends who aren't impressed by four letter words. Yet, in any given conversation in a relaxed setting, I do tend to toss in the occasional "fuck" between SAT words. That's only heightened in emotional situations. I don't say it to impress friends or offend you. It's simply a part of my vocabulary, which happens to be quite useful at communicating precisely the emotion one wishes to convey. So please, if I'm next to you in the stands, don't take it personally, or even call attention to it. It's basically reflexive and nothing you say during a football game is going to undo years of conditioning.
Damn, Bronco is not pulling any punches when talking about how embarrassing the program was under Mike London.
It must. I don't think that's going to translate well. You gotta think they need each and every rep because I know that even we do and they just don't have the talent that we do across the board. But to each his own I suppose.
Fuck. That.
The sentiment still is valid.
There is a difference between assimilating and conformation and peer pressure. That is my point.
It's has to come from his experience at BYU, where they would get older kids as freshmen or kids that would leave after the 1st or 2nd year on a mission.
The majority of the discussion seems like less of how to parent, more of places kids of a young age are less appropriately suited.
As a dad, I would never recommend not taking extra., especially with younger kids. You may drag it around for nothing 30 days in row, but there will always be that one day.

There's gotta be something more to this...
me saying "what the hell" or "pissed off" might be fine to others and some not, 'appropriate language' is too subjective. some curse words just slip out for me when I am talking but there are too many people in today's world that get butt hurt over the smallest things.

# | Blacksburg Bash Helps Four Prominent 2017ers Make Up Their Minds, Join the Hokies I was pretty sure that was the case. Just in the climate where GT is in our division and constantly called a High School offense (and constantly...um...butt hurt when people call it a triple option instead of flexbone or whatever), I thought it was funny that our big time recruit's first comments are that he likes our triple option and ran it in high school.
You suck, and in order to help you get better, we're not gonna let you practice
Exactly my thought. Beggars can't be choosers.
I think we all agree that's the logical conclusion of why this new policy was put in place. Plenty of kids owe their existence to booze and cursing all night.
This is more along the lines of where I thought this thread was headed when I posted it. How wrong I was!!!
I can't find it at the moment, but there is a fascinating gif circulating the interwebs that shows the gold medal-winning vault from ~50 years ago side by side with the gold medal-winning vault from the most recent Olympics. It's unreal how much the degree of difficulty has increased since then. The level of athleticism/body control required really does boggle the mind.
Wow. This thread got ugly quick. Ok, I have no problem with kids coming to a game. I brought my son to one and it was great. I also didn't try to censor people around me. For that matter, I'm not a huge fan of censorship in general. If I tell a drunk to shut up at a game, it's probably going to be because they are annoying the crap out of me, not because of the profanities (for the record I never have, but I have asked somebody if they got everything they needed this time after making an entire row clear out for the 6th time for another order of nachos).
Now to the actual subject of the post. You should be able to fit all you need in the bags allowed. If small children come, likely you will have multiple bags you can fill. I don't see a problem here.
If anyone is watching the Woman's Rugby match on CNBC right now, Carmen Farmer just got a shoutout by the commentators mentioning her Virginia Tech past. Was pretty cool. Also, rugby is pretty awesome. I like it a lot.
I've been going to Hokie games for as long as I can remember, but I don't remember hearing foul language till I knew what those words were already. Does that mean no one cussed around me when I was at the game no, but if you don't draw attention to it, a screaming person is just a screaming person.
Does that excuse the bad language no, but recognize that you are more likely to hear words that are frowned upon than you will at day care.
Kids also have every right to be at the game, part of the reason I'm such a big fan is that I have been going to games since I was 4. People shouldn't penalize the genuine young sports fans just because some would rather be watching cartoons.
How can they not qualify for practice? That seems like an irresponsible way to go about fall camp especially for a perennially bad program like LOLuva. Either way, hilarious.
