# | Hokies Offer Three Prospects from Justin Fuente's First Blacksburg Camp, Impress Attendees Nope...actually just like it's spelled ..Pronounced..."K-Vaun"
You had to mention Pitt, Moriarity. That game up there a couple of years ago...
Muted them until practice returns. I'll follow the Bills if I want to know every time Tyrod blinks.
X-wing seasons? I am all aboard that hype train.

# | X-Win Seasons, A Question of Semantics and Bowls (and kind of a poll) Huh. I must be a nerd because I misread it as "X-Wing" at first....
And the new punter
They already can skip college and go pro right away...overseas
Latest tweet he says his recruiting is wide open and he is looking at everyone who offered him.
you will never get a real answer on TKP when you ask how to pronounce anything. It is always pronounced "Kevin"
On a related note, I think it's time someone created a revised version of the inside joke reference page

Go to the search box in the upper right, and enter "how do you pronounce", and look for name pronunciation in previous posts. You'll figure it out.
I feel like the answer isn't whether we lose sparrows or Lannisters... it's how many of each. My guess is "everyone."
In several states there are age requirements for bartending, driving a public bus, etc. Not at all uncommon to see must be 18 to apply on employment adds. Still, there is no need for this in BBall, except that the owners and players union can agree on it. IMO they can and should be able to set their own standards for employment, even though I disagree with that rule. The NCAA should not be helping, but I am not sure they can do much to stop kids from quitting college, and I am sure they want the kids to play as it produces a more marketable product. I will continue to express my opinion on this by boycotting the NBA, and rooting against the 1 and 1 done teams, at least until the Hokies have some of either.
For me, it was almost a case of 1a, 1b, 1c, 1d, and 1e.
That was an option, in case you didn't know. The QB poll let me vote for both Vick and Tyrod as co-#1.

# | Virginia Tech Football Recruiting: Lecitus Smith Commits to the Hokies I'm assuming there's a joke here that's going completely over my head. Can someone fill me in, or are you being serious?
Good piece from Coleman. He's quite a satire writer. Took me minute to figure out that it was tongue-in-cheek. For a moment there, I found myself wondering how on earth he could really think such a thing.
The messed up part is that the players association also wants the age limit to have older players keep their jobs. Is there any workforce that has an age restriction like this?
I can think of at least one example. In order to work with explosives (manufacturing, shipping, recieving, using) you have be at least 21 and receive a permit.
How is this legal?
Collective bargaining. The union and the league negotiated the contract, which included stipulations on who is eligible. Both sides (for self-serving reasons) decided that the one-and-done rule was in their best interests. Unfortunately, potential future members of the union did not have a seat at the bargaining table, so their interests were not represented in the negotiations.
I'm all for players going to college first, but the one-and-done rule is stupid, IMO. To me it's a lot like the satellite camp issue. You've got a lot of powerful people making decisions that affect the lives and careers of young people, with no consideration for the effects it'll have on said young people. Utterly stupid. I think all the pro leagues should adopt the MLB model. A player can skip college and go pro right out of high school, or he can elect to attend college, but has to stay for 3 years. Everybody wins. The guys who aren't cut out for college, or have no desire for it, can take their chances going pro right away, and the ones who want the college experience or need further development can go to school, but they have to stick around a few years. Everybody wins. The players have more of a say in their futures, and the colleges get more stability. (Well, not everybody wins. The pro team owners who gamble on a high schooler who busts spectacularly lose, but hey, that's a little something called living with the consequences of your own decisions. We all have to do that in life.)
I'm pretty sure you can't be legally employed until the age of 16 unless you have parental consent..I might be wrong on that, though. And it's also sort of beside the point but thought I'd bring it up. Basically you can't have child labor.
So, I turn on tonight's game and notice Ecuador's abbreviation in the scorebox...
"Ah, fuck!!! Here we go!!!"
