I like that Syrio Forel connection.
I'm guessing that Arya has special abilities and will be able to learn the ways of face-shifting, swear to Jaqen that she is nobody then goes on carrying out her list in Westeros.
I guess I never considered that House Bolton ever had any more upside than where they currently stand. Roose Bolton, Warden of the North was always a placeholder. The job of the Bolton's is terrorism and terrorist's don't win, they just terrorize until they don't.
It seems to me that the concluding game, the Starks leading the north against the Whitewalkers and some Targaryan alliance at Kings Landing, seems to be on too clear of a path. My guess is that Ramsey doesn't go down as easily as is projected, that he survives the Battle of the Bastards for Winterfell and is able to infuse enough true fear (as will Euron) that the triumphant parade to a tidy solution is always tenuous.
Don't count us out on Laborn. FSU is very much the leader but if they pull in some of the other RB's they are recruiting before Laborn it could sway his mind. Biggest concern I have is UNC stiffing around. Laborn knows we are here and the I'm sure the coaches are staying in his ear. We shall see how it all pans out.
Can we just skip to the part where we get to his timely and overwhelmingly satisfyingly gruesome death? After all in GoT, its become clear that if you're a complete shit, it eventually catches up to you.
and we have all seen how reliable those crystal balls are...
Also destroyed Georgia Tech's option Fuller style. Really good player.

Ramsay just doomed his house. The Bolton's are in a precarious position as it is and Roose was smart enough to make it work. But Ramsay is to egotistical and impulsive to maintain the alliances they need. And the Frey's will drop out when they find the Fat Walda is dead. The Bolton's no longer have Tywin's backing, they've lost the heiress to the North, half the houses are still loyal to the Starks. Ramsay showed enough skill to either retain his position at Winterfell or go to the Dreadfort after Roose died. As a legitimized first-born, if he showed enough skill and committed to learn from Roose he'd probably have been given Wardenship with Walda's son going to the Dreadfort. He feared he'd be replaced, but Roose is too reasonable when it comes to family power politics to just off him.
For those keeping score last night:
Walls-2 Skulls-0.
Good to see the return of Wun Weg Wun Dar Wun (yes I had to look that up).
Read a tweet somewhere earlier that both teams had key pieces out during the regular season. This should be another barnburner. On our side the hope is the backcourt plays a little better. I think the X-Factor will be the other role players, most especially Joe Johnson.
Brienne's been too lucky. She's the luckiest person in Westeros, it can't last. Ramsay kills her, but he meets Jon in the Snow Bowl presented by Wheat, "Wheat, it's what you eat"
You know what bother's me, that bong is supposed to have water in it to filter out the tar and crap and to condense the smoke so you get a much better "hit". Yet, when he is done he takes it off over his head showing that there is clearly no water in it. At that point it is just a fancy pipe/bowl. And he didn't even clear the smoke. I don't know what the hell was he actually doing here, but it sure as hell wasn't smoking weed. Fucking amateurs. /s
Myer's next sentence was (paraphrasing), "In the second game we changed some things and we did much better against him." which is not bullshit only if you consider "changed some things" to mean "noticed that he wasn't even close to 100% and began to target him." Myer said nothing about Fuller being noticeably injured, just implied that they made adjustments which allowed OSU to get the better of him. That steaming pile was straight from the pasture.

# | Virginia Tech Overhauls Hokie Club to Boost Donations, Meet Growing Scholarship Expenses Ah, I missed that date change. Very good to know. The reseating next year might make me up my giving level to move up to better seats.
Shouldn't talk about Ser Pounce be in the GOT thread?

# | Virginia Tech Overhauls Hokie Club to Boost Donations, Meet Growing Scholarship Expenses Calendar year has nothing to do with anything but tax deductibility now.
Giving level is still what you donate in the Hokie Club/Scholarship Fund year, which used to end 31-Dec before and now ends 31-Mar. In his case, if he donates $1K by 31-Mar-2017, the old Silver standard, he's Bronze now. If he wants to maintain Silver Hokie title/benefits, he's gotta give $1200. However, if all he wants to do is maintain similar seats to what he has, those are $200/seat, i.e. $400 total and O&M Hokie Club level.
I think the semantics are all over the place and that is confusing. I think what the majority of fans want to see is the "classic" Jersey with just numbers and take or leave the collar.
But they're not in Westeros anymore, Toto

# | Virginia Tech Overhauls Hokie Club to Boost Donations, Meet Growing Scholarship Expenses Thanks! I didn't read the whole website before posting my questions... whoops!
In the FAQ I saw the text below which basically clears it up... you give 1 lump sump and still pay for the tickets (~325) and there is just a new $check vs the tickets you select to buy. Your total donation has to be >= the sum of the per seat minimum gift.
Is the Scholarship Priority Seating donation in addition to my annual gift?
No, your per seat gift will count towards your annual giving level. For example, if you choose to give at the Golden Hokie Level ($2,500) and have four tickets in section 7L of Lane Stadium ($600 per seat minimum donation required), the $2,400 total needed to cover your per seat minimum requirement is met through your gift at the Golden Hokie giving level. In addition, if you have men's basketball season tickets, so long as your per seat donation requirements for men's basketball does not exceed $2,400 you will be covered for basketball as well.

# | Virginia Tech Overhauls Hokie Club to Boost Donations, Meet Growing Scholarship Expenses 6/RRR looks like $200/seat/yr donation. Assuming the $325/ticket/yr ticket price, you're looking at $400 donation and $650 ticket payment: total $1050 to hold tickets roughly where you're at, though only O&M benefits.
Yes, that's a huge discount over what you're getting now.
You're like me, formerly $500/yr donor in 35/4B then 33/4F. Our seat locations were held back by the people who got location priority by STH tenure while donating very little per seat (or nothing once they reached $100K/lifetime).

# | Virginia Tech Overhauls Hokie Club to Boost Donations, Meet Growing Scholarship Expenses I think you total giving would have to be $1200 but you would have to give that during this calendar year. What I am not clear on is what is considered your giving level. Is Silver Hokie considered your giving level or the $1000. Because if it is Silver Hokie you would need to give all $1200 this year. If the $1000 is the giving level, you could give the $1000 this year and pay the extra $200 when you purchase tickets next year.
You know, I've been wondering about the Arya plot. If she truly becomes "a girl", then she will have completely let go of her previous life and all of the revenge targets on her list. To truly become a faceless assassin requires us to not get the Arya Revenge Tour we want. Granted, most of her list is already dead and she did get to kill Meryn Trent and let the Hound die (or so she thinks). I am curious how this plays out. Maybe Jaqen H'ghar is/was Syrio Forel and this has all been part of her training.

# | Virginia Tech Overhauls Hokie Club to Boost Donations, Meet Growing Scholarship Expenses So... I'm a little confused by this change (probably haven't read enough), but please correct me if I'm wrong anyone...
I am currently a Silver Hokie = $1000 / year donation
And have 2 tickets in section 6 row RRR = $650
Going to leave parking off for now...
Under the new system, am I correct in thinking that:
1) I would be a Bronze Hokie using the $1000 gift
2) I would have to cough up $200 or $350 per seat as a gift + another ~$325 each for the tickets themselves
Is that correct?
What's confusing is further down on the Hokie Scholarship Fund site it says something like... how to determine your SINGLE, annual gift...
1) Minimum per seat donation for football tickets
2) Minimum per seat donation for basketball tickets
3) Minimum per seat donation for parking
What is the greatest of these 3 donation amounts = Minimum donation to be eligible for all desired Hokie Scholarship Fun season ticket and parking benefits.
Based on this, I'm thinking it means to keep my same tickets I'd have to donate 200+200 or 350+350 at a minimum knowing your selection order will be impacted by total gift value.
Well they are pretty reliable. Like if we get CBs for someone they're not coming here.
