Man. What a turnaround in this game. Still don't see the Cavs winning this series. Also, there have been very few interesting games this postseason. Really not a lot of fun to watch.

Guys, I love sandman but nothing is nearly as "exciting" as hoping and praying somebody trips down the hill... /s

Selling beer to help with "prevention"?
I am having a Redd Fox moment right now...just take me now...

That's a tough question to answer for several reasons, first off being that I'm a gear head, secondly because anywhere from a 6 to a 10 weight can be used in the surf depending on conditions and what you are fishing for. I've got more rod, reel and line combos than I can count.

A good standard surf set up would be an 8 weight fast action rod with intermediate line and a quality reel. This exact set up also works well in the Bay and chasing various species on a boat. For rods, I like Sage, TFO, Colton, St. Croix. Reels, I prefer Nautilus, Ross or Lamson. The intermediate line is used to cut through the waves to keep the fly down for blues, spanish mack, pompano, etc. If I'm surf fishing in Fla I use a floating line - less waves. Also use a floating line for anywhere in Pamlico Sound.

BEER?!! I mean how great is beer? I love you, beer.

Of course they have to put out a statement that acts like they are fighting drinking, to satisfy the people opposed

"revenue will be used to fund two new positions in the school's police department as well as go towards research done by the Ohio State University Higher Education Center for Alcohol and Drug Misuse Prevention and Recovery"

Translation:

"We are going to sell beer, then use the proceeds to pay police to arrest people that drink beer, and fund a program to help people that have a problem with beer."

I just wish I could get a seat at the table in this game.

Yes indeed I have. I've caught one New River musky and had numerous follows while fly fishing. I've also fished the upper James but prefer the New. I tie flies for musky actually.

As an HT alum, I'd play Ben Hur instead of Bravura (for the trillionth time) any friggin' day!

ACC has gotten better, and we've dropped off a little bit. We took a slight dip in recruiting, and a relatively large dip in developing talent. I 100% agree that this is changing - but change doesn't always happen fast. We'll get there, I'm just not convinced we'll be there next season.

I think the offense will be better. I'm not sure how you define "much better" but that might be overly optimistic. We have a brand new quarterback and an offensive line which is experienced, but also being coached by yet another OL coach. I expect there to be some breakdowns. My hope is that the team will improve over the course of the season. I'm confident that will be the case but I think 8-4 would be a really good first season for Fuente. I would be absolutely delighted for anything better than that.

All that being said, we're going 15-0 baby!!

I'm a bit more optimistic than 7-5/8-4 this fall. I think the defense will be at least as good as last year (we all think a bit better), and I happen to think the offense will be much better. We certainly shouldn't make any judgments based on an early season match-up with a team like Tenn. But we should see steady improvement on the offense throughout the season.

If we went 7-5/8-4 I wouldn't be disappointed. However if we won 9 games, I wouldn't be surprised.

Haha no its not (typically the case that is) and we wont have players getting idolized till we shed this bs "its not a mans sport" superiority complex that some people have in this country

Some day I would like to see an even older VT tradition re-enacted: When we used to meet VMI in Roanoke for the Thanksgiving day football game, the band used to strike up the "Parade of the Charioteers" from the movie Ben Hur when the Corps entered a natural echo chamber of tall buildings on both sides of the street while marching from the train station to the stadium. A youtube link below gives you a small idea of what it sounded like, but remember at that time we had a presidential inauguration winning Highty Tighty Band of over 300 members and at least three rows of tubas adding base to the song along with the marching step of the Corps on the pavement to keep time. I remember seeing the mouths drop of the VMI cadets watching on the side of the street.
