Motion denied.
As an addendum, since college football players are rarely 23 years or older, none of LOLUVA's players have ever gone to a bowl game and all of LOLUVA's players have never seen VT NOT go to a bowl game
Lets see, the ridiculous line breaks, incoherent sentences, the typos (one of which tagged someone who had a nude image), the blurry images, the stolen images, the crooked pictures (seriously what the hell is this) and videos, and the constant gushing over players that never set foot in Blacksburg (Paxton Lynch). I can get over the emojis, they're young and stuff and I get that. But it's just poor execution.
Like Esq said, it's all opinion and I'll never convince anyone who thinks otherwise but this is a University account and the only account that some people see.

Oh no wait I don't have a tweeter. NO TWITTER IT'S WHIP
Like a big bag.
(You forgot the gratuitous coverage of anything Tyrod Taylor does. Literally anything.)
Well I just went from 6 to midnight...
Seriously some chills there at the last paragraph about what he believes VT football can be moving forward.
Is Lefty still repping for No Doze?
Came for the scorching hot takes, was pleased. Enjoyed thoroughly when I found my lawyer so righteously laying out pretty much the exact stance I have on this issue.
In other Hoo news, beatings will continue until morale improves.

Pretty soon they're going to have to change the days heading to years
Really? If so I think I just became an Alabama fan.

HI HELLO THIS IS MY WHEELHOUSE thank you @swrightvt for bringing this to my attention
I have repeatedly and reasonably taken issue with the way the VT_Football account is run. I believe there are times when it borders on unprofessional, takes giant leaps into the void of unprofessional, and perhaps worst of all, makes no friggin sense. There are lots of examples of this. Just check my "VT Football/ Pete" album on my phone for the screenshots.
The OMG WHO CARES of this is important because the account is a very public face of our university and our football team. Image, propriety, and professionalism are important.
However, this is all a matter of opinion. Note above where I say "I believe". There are no hard and fast guidelines or requirements for running a Twitter account associated with a university or football team, so no one can say the way the account is run is actually, factually wrong or bad.
As discussed elsewhere in the comments, the account is successful by many measures. Athlon (eyeroll) named it the #3 Twitter account for college football programs... which you know begs a lot of questions and also please consider the source... but regardless, it's an "accomplishment" that can be touted. The account has experienced a significant increase in followers and interactions. I know that the athletic department/ Pete/ Whit track the data associated with this account, and am confident that such data is positive.
So, from a hard facts standpoint, it's hard to argue that anything is "wrong" with the account. It truly is a matter of your own opinion. And I acknowledge that it seems a lot of people really like and enjoy the account, and thats great for them. I also acknowledge and appreciate the increased activity of the account. From a more personal perspective, I appreciate that Pete (via VT_Football or his own account) has responded to my complaints and/ or corrections. Credit is given where credit is due. However, I would caution that quantity and quality share equal value. My personal wish would be for the VT_Football account to revert to strict news announcements, and the HokiesFB account be the "fun" account more geared towards recruiting and social interaction. But again, thats my opinion.
ALSO it is hysterically rich that I have such judgments about how a Twitter account is run. I regularly live tweet my commutes and use of a netipot. I am not the final arbiter of appropriateness on Twitter, and neither are you (or you or you or Pete Moris or anyone).
But yeah, I get it.
2 or 3. The first time there were 3. Baron, Conte, Slye.
This is beautiful. Made my day.

# | "While Hokies Make Tweaks, Hoos Undergo Cultural Reboot" ESPN.com Article Man, I would put UConn and Wake as tossups as well.
Personnel, that team is in a soooooooooooooorrrrrrrry state right now, and they're going to take some lumps before things begin to get better.
Two weeks in a row of course.
The NFL isn't about being fair.
You're absolutely right, and the players are rarely on the better side of this. It's why you didn't see anyone who knew anything about how NFL contracts work bash Kam for holding out. They have limited security, limited guarantees, and even that guaranteed money usually has enough stipulations to get the organizations off the hook in certain situations.
