Or they could just play football and not insert themselves in the conversation.

# | Virginia Tech Overhauls Hokie Club to Boost Donations, Meet Growing Scholarship Expenses Oh man! I would DEFINITELY buy an Owens Cheese Steak or 4 over the course of a football game!!
The main reason the R-Braves left for Gwinnett was that they couldn't agree with the city on where to put a new stadium, not that they couldn't support it.
I just looked this up, and the 757 is bigger, population-wise, than eight other metro areas (Milwaukee, Jacksonville, Oklahoma CIty, Memphis, New Orleans, Salt Lake City, Buffalo, Green Bay - an exceptional case) that host major league teams. The thing that sets the 757 apart, though, is that unlike other metro areas that work together as one for the good of the entire area, the Seven Cities function more like, well, seven cities. If we merged together as one (not gonna happen), I guarantee a lot more progress would be made, not as far as trying to attract a sports team, but in a lot of different ways.

# | Virginia Tech Overhauls Hokie Club to Boost Donations, Meet Growing Scholarship Expenses This is part of why Whit started the Hokie Village and expanded concessions.
Paging Whit...do you have any idea how great our concession stands could be? We have the best campus food in the country.
Hell, just open West End early and sell chicken caesar wraps and london broil out the back door.
I paid for SlingTV for a few months - $20 a month and you get ESPN and ESPN2. The service is terrible but your login to Sling is valid on ESPN3/ESPN app, which is a much better service, so it's worth it. If the game you want is on ABC, you get it for free via the ESPN app even without a cable subscription. In my area, with my antenna, only NBC comes in over the air (ND games), and all SEC games stream free from CBSSports.com. The only stuff I actually miss is the stuff on the various subnetworks (SEC, Big Ten, Longhorn, Pac12, Fox Sports), or Fox stuff. With better OTA access, I would be fine.
Making us wait to see who is committing. Hopefully some news in the next few hours.
I'll put money on anthracite grey with some hokiestone worked in here and there.
I'd love to have ND and Navy. I'd also like to go to 18 in non-football sports by adding Villanova and Georgetown
Bit cooler/less funny one but if people want to watch a boss Darth maul fanmade video, check it out!

My guess is that Whit's team has run the numbers on this, and believes that this is the best way to raise money for the program over the next X number of years. What happened to trust in Whit?
I have an antenna in Manhattan and I feel like it's some big secret out in the open that no one knows about. I get at least three NFL games on Sunday's and (no shame) use my dads Comcast login for ESPN and other networks that let you stream, including HBO. Add in Netflix and I never miss cable
Pretty good CB if it came from Corey Evans.
I don't see any clash in styles. Sure the design elements come from both modern and traditional tastes but it still looks clean. Its not some cluster of stuff like on Louisville or Miami or Maryland or Oregon uniforms.
Because people whined about not having new uniforms.
I'll put my money on maroon, lots of maroon.
Top. Men.
TN can be beaten. I saw Dobbs Play UK first hand last year and he is dangerous. But, our defense will have the benefit of practicing against a different offense all fall camp so I suspect Bud will be able to get the D better ready than we think based on history. I think ND is the game we could get embarrassed in because we haven't played a meaningful game in November yet that where weren't missing key guys. I think that trend continues.
In the spirit of this thread
I think we'll find it harder to move the ball against teams because they'll have film on how other teams defended our offense
Many up-tempo attacks aren't very complicated. It's not about the complexity of the play it's about executing the simple ones consistently and putting yourself in a rhythm and ahead of the chains, coupled with tempo allowing less time to get pre-snap reads and taking advantage of fatigue. These things allow up-tempo offenses, with a tremendous amount of film readily available to opposing teams, to move the ball with relative consistency from game to game.

Now for a vid where the plot acutally made more sense than the film itself
This is exactly what I expected when I opened this thread. Funny way to end the workday!
