I'm ISE! They've changed the class so much in the past few years that what we're doing now isn't a lot of content. Luckily, we don't get in till 8pm for practice, so looks like I don't have to skip after all

If you are ChemE it the only class you will take senior that is important

hey, for some people, the hokie pokie really is what it's all about

My wife just said, "I hope he protects Fairfax better than he protected the rim"

I'd check the Hall of Fame.

Gonna be a cynic here a little, but I'm a little disappointed with some of these.
Tennis--I really wish they would move the outdoor facility to the Washington St courts. I don't know students who will go out past Lane to watch a tennis match, but if the team played on campus students walking by might stop and watch. You could build the stands into the hill and leave the courts open for public use when the team isn't playing. I hate to compare to UVA, but they have a top tennis team with a large following (tennis wise) in a large part because they play in the middle of campus.
Swimming--It'd be nice if the swim team was moved back on campus. I think we are one of the only ACC teams that doesn't have an Olympic sized or at least a competition pool on campus. It would benefit the team, the club team, club waterpolo, intramurals, students, and the community. But the Christiansburg Aquatic Center was built for a reason, and you'd have to do a full scale renovation of War to get this done.
English Field--Right field already has a hill that is popular for students gathering to drink and grill on a warm day. Eliminating a scoreboard there and building a larger berm, while leaving it outside the stadium boundaries (so you don't need to have a ticket and can bring alcohol/your own grill) could attract large rowdy crowds of students on a warm day.
Cassell--I'm against luxury/cushioned seats just because I don't like comfort or something (IDK where this principle comes from). But cushioned seats soak up noise, whereas the wooden seats reflect noise. This is really only a concern for weirdos like me. However, those seats should NOT be put in the student section. Hopefully the plan is to put in bleacher style benches in the student section because the student section is for standing not sitting.

Well if we keep putting more butts in those seats, it won't matter how much noise they soak up!

Yea, it's better with sound.

Sorry I call BS. The officer was fired because he released the video and citation without permission when his chief apologized to Dabo. Dabo and his brother were both unprofessional during the stop and I would have had both of them in their vehicle during the stop not interacting with fans. They refuse then guess who is going in handcuffs in the back of the car until the ticket writing process is over.
