# | Hokies' Open Practice Reveals Rapid Pace, Injuries and A Glimpse at the Future Wes Welker is the obvious one. Last year, everyone called me Edelman, for obvious reasons. I do look up to Edelman a lot and I kind of modeled my game after him. Him and Cole Beasley.
/insert "reminds me of Danny Coale" meme
Well, like Coach Fu told Chuck in the mic'd up, I'm gonna get my a** down on the field, and then we'll party.
I like the back. The front design is just a little too big for me, though. I prefer shirts to either have a large front design, or a small front design with a large back design.
I guess I'm the oddball. I really liked the 2014 Maroon Effect. I wish I had gotten one.
I'm an ME (2015 grad) and I also did a co-op. That's exactly what I called myself. My fourth year of school I said I was a "senior" and my last year a "super senior."
So I guess the whole "you have to earn a Spring Game" backfired. It seems Bronco severely overestimated the program he was inheriting.

# | Hokies' Open Practice Reveals Rapid Pace, Injuries and A Glimpse at the Future Any time I see the phrase "injuries" I feel like this
Aside from that, I choose to remain optimistically excited.
I am biased toward guides, but not just for all of the reasons you mentioned. Guides also have the boats you need to more successfully fish whatever area you are trying to learn. Believe me, while kayaks and canoes can fish big moving water like the New, a guide raft is the way to go for efficient and safe fishing in a notoriously dangerous river. As for the musky, I can confirm that the New River is indeed an excellent fishery for them. Some guides specialize in musky, but most can outfit you for both musky and smallmouth, if you have the patience and stamina to chunk the lures that attract ole toothy.
Back in my day (cracks neck, prepares "get off my lawn" speech), the ChemE's I knew used "senior" and "super senior," as many of them were there for 5 years due to co-ops and the like.

# | Actually sensible NCAA Reform, Schools now pay for parents on Official Visits In a VT-centric view this makes perfect sense. I'm sure the Athletic Department wants to tightly control their entire experience, so housing everyone at The Inn is fine. I'm thinking broader, across college football. Not every school has a lovely hotel on campus, so decisions will have to be made about who to put where, e.g. chance for disparity. That's all. And just to be clear, I really don't think this is a huge deal, just sort of poking fun at the prospect.
Solid. I just remembered this. I had an RA my freshman year who was a ChemE and he always said that he was a redshirt Junior. I guess it was his way of skirting the whole "fourth year" controversy. I thought it was pretty clever. Anyway, if you like that, take it back with you and teach the others. Instead of 4th and 5th years we'll have Redshirt Juniors and Seniors.
Haven't tried copolymer line yet. As for cost of line, Bass Pro Excel goes for around 25 bucks for 6,030 yards of 8lb test, and is either comparable or identical to Trilene XL, but of course, most folks won't be needing that much unless you are in the guiding biz, but lesser amounts are quite affordable. I'll give Izorline a look when next I resupply. Thanks for the suggestion.
Hope my new license plate makes up for it

# | Actually sensible NCAA Reform, Schools now pay for parents on Official Visits I really think they're gonna keep the parents on campus. Probably at The Inn. I'm guessing if parents choose to stay off campus we'll just reimburse them, but I'm thinking What's default preference will be to have the parents on campus so we can wine and dine them.

# | Hokies' Open Practice Reveals Rapid Pace, Injuries and A Glimpse at the Future I am very very tempted to do some more ACC RB breakdown spreadsheets as this next year comes along. Already have some stuff set up just thinking how I could incorporate it better week by week.
This is about the tamest hospitality rider for a major act I have ever seen. J Lo sets the standard, but this actually just makes me think Luda is a decent human being, assuming this is his standard rider. Plus, good on him for practicing safe sex.
Coming down with my younger brother. Gonna try and remain sober during this one for I want to be able to process what i see during the game

# | Actually sensible NCAA Reform, Schools now pay for parents on Official Visits They usually do, but now it's a family affair. That's the main issue I'm poking fun at - you think they're going to put Mom and Dad up in a dorm?

# | OT: Ludacris' UGA spring game concert rider included alcohol and condoms. Talk about a loyal fanbase, as annoying as Georgia fans can be, living pretty close to Athens, they are dedicated as hell considering they've had essentially the same season over and over again post 2005.
According to Chris Arvin on 247 (free), Delaware transfer Kory Holden is visiting VT this weekend. Has to be a plus that he will be here for the Spring Game.
Kory is down to Baylor, South Carolina, and Virginia Tech. Visiting the Hokies this upcoming weekend and then Baylor on April 29th. Will make a decision after his visits.
I'm sure the 93,000 fans were really upset that Luda asked for some booze and rubbers as part of his deal to perform for them.

# | Actually sensible NCAA Reform, Schools now pay for parents on Official Visits Wait, I thought recruits on official visits always stayed on campus.

# | Actually sensible NCAA Reform, Schools now pay for parents on Official Visits You definitely want them to get recruited if they are going there haha, some of the price tags on those colleges are not cheap. USCw and USD, good god.
So it looks like after the spring game fans will be allowed onto the field. No word on whether players and coaches will be available for pictures yet.
Edit: as of today coaches and players WILL NOT be available to meet. Too many recruits in town.
