They haven't done it to boxing or MMA but I doubt most parents really think it's on the same level
We might not even need to outsource the design. Between Psych, Industrial Eng, and Industrial Design departments for the cognitive ergo/user experience, and Comp Sci and Comp Eng for architecture and coding, I'm sure there are enough people in the university that would jump at the chance to redesign the site and get valuable experience doing so. Maybe even a few of us alumni in the industry could offer some mentoring.
I'm prepared to get yelled at but I'm on board with these bad boys.

Hmmm, somewhat disagree. Sometimes it's the smarter move, you just need to be sure and do it strategically. Me burning bridges with the last global company I worked with is what catapulted my career. It was either burn the mother down or always be in its shadow.
On Florida:
They just didn't have the same talent as anyone else on offense in that league. Their offensive line was extremely weak and losing the quarterback killed them, but let me tell you, they are tough schematically because of all the shifts and motions. We played them with Will Grier, and we just had so much trouble. Out of the first 44 snaps they gave me 38 formations, and he was really, really good. I never really felt like I could get a bead on what they were doing. ... -
It sounds almost like they were talking about us. But not.

Cuck Flemson. I still maintain Dabo has the most punchable face of any HC in conference. PJ is a close second but I always want to kick him a la Will Smith in MIB II
*grabs a bullhorn set to maximum* PUT IN YOUR HEARING AIDS GRANDPA!!!
Seriously though, I didn't mean to trash all of you old fogies, I've worked with some pretty cool ones and I take pride in being able to crack Dad jokes with the best of them.
Now, am I ok to stay on your lawn or would you prefer me to get off of it? I have bourbon I can share
Indeed it is

^^This
This is what HC Fuente will do for the UT game. Pyay his #1 QB with a limited offense against Liberty and bring out as much of the playbook as possible against UT.
Nor I, but it is maddeningly frustrating at times isn't it?
Somewhat related: My grandfather back in Chesapeake just upgraded his laptop from Windows 8 to 10 and dear god the phone calls. They just don't stop!
If I'm ever in a murderous mood, Banner is usually to blame. Banner and small children.

# | VT Wrestling Scores 3rd Top 100 Commitment for class of 2017 This class is incredible. Awesome news
If you don't want info on then it should be an option not to list. However, if I can find large amounts on linkedin and facebook ( of whom i cannot find on the existing alumni systems) i doubt those alumni would have issue with contact info being released. If its really smart it optional to link those social media profiles to your almuni profile.
Appreciate it. Right now, my solution is to trash everything about the exisiting systems and start fresh. No sense trying to make a dumb, outdated system try to perform for today's world, which would be the equivalent of asking people to write letters and post them in response to tweets.
Guitarman explained its ease well. It would not take significant man hours at all, rather a few minutes in weekly.meetings and a few presentations. it's design would be outsourced and thus the bulk of the work would be done by others. Once the new website is created, reviewed and approved then those that manage content now on the exisiting website, do so on the new website.
Oh, I completely agree. I think VT has major shortcomings in that, although they do offer some helpful online services and tools, very little is user-friendly. I just tried to log in and change my alumni contact info, but in order to do that I must log into Hokiespa, which now requires a 2-factor login for all users. Not very useful for alumni who simply want to just update their information.
I agree. Just having something and saying "good enough" isn't good enough. It's a shame considering our strengths in technology and science and our entire brand is focused on being forward-thinking and futuristic. Plenty of work to be done.

# | On Eve of Fall Camp, Justin Fuente Remains Tight-Lipped on QB Battle, Dishes on WR Depth Tom Delonge is my spirit animal.
Not trying to denigrate all older peeps, just the ones that don't seem to listen or bother to try to figure out why they should care nor find the right person who does understand it to actual be responsible for updating the technology used.
Writing up another thread now
Yep, he was #1 on my list. Grew up a Hokie fan.
Yeah, we'll be a lot better next year than this.
But it shouldn't be the shit-show we had to stomach the last three years either.
Multiple issues here.
1) needs active PID and password. I know a lot of alumni who do not have.
2) even with it is not easy to use and is very limited in info
3) is the epitomy of the "oh well, good enough" apathy that is pervasive. How about better than simpky having something? How about we invent the damn future of alumni databases? Or failing that, update it to something contemporary and more user friendly.
Damn when I saw that I was like, what is Fuente doing spoiling the surprise?
He needs a cease and desist on that handle right away.
