I'm still sad Backstreets closed. That place had some delicious pizza. I'll have to try the new place next time I make it into town.
On that note, does anyone else remember Gumby's?
Bassett High alum as well. You weren't the only VT fan!
Although Duke and UNC certainly had a corner on the fandom market.
anyone else feel a little sorry for Joshua Jackson? Guy commits to Tech when a close family friend is the OC. He decides to stay on even after said family friend is canned. Then he ends up in a crowded battle for starting QB. He's almost guaranteed to redshirt (short of a Maryland-esque slew of QB injuries) and even then probably won't see a chance at starting until he's, what, a redshirt junior?
This TKP tweet was featured in CBSSports twitter roundup of UVA's loss.
We were also predicted to finish dead last in the conference as opposed to UVa, who was a legit title contender all season and unanimously thought to have an easy path to the Final For after Michigan State lost. 1 seed in back to back tournaments and can't advance past the Elite 8 is not good. Bennett has only one win as UVa coach against a team in the tournament who is better than a 8 seed.
Can't help but wonder if they are wasting their window
Batman has ONE RULE, that he doesn't kill. And he spends this entire movie trying to break that rule.
It would have been easy enough to have a way for him to capture and subdue Superman without trying to kill him.
OK, so assuming the "two years to make an impact" rule that always gets thrown out there, that means in the 2017-2018 school year we will be winning or competing for the ACC title in wrastlin, football, men's bball, and women's bball. Did I miss any?
As a UGA fan, I'm glad I can easily keep cheering on BeamerBall!
Whit is awesome! Dude's going to have this athletic department humming in a few years and that is really impressive. He is outstanding!
This is a great hire.
But damn, my wife (the JMU alum) is going to be so mad about this... Thanks Whit, thanks a bunch. /s
Final four in this bracket will be announced tomorrow. Looks like the loser 'hoos are going to choke and miss the final four again.
This is not a place for facts.

You being a resident of San Diego, I need to ask this: where in SD in your opinion is the best place for fish tacos? As a frequent visitor for work (actually will be going back next week), I have found that South Beach Bar and Grill at Ocean Beach to have the best fish tacos out of anywhere, both outside of and in SD. Obviously, this is an objective view, but I'm interested to hear your take on your favorite fish taco joint since there might be a hole in the wall I would have never even heard of that could sway my opinion.
Well he loves all the Marvel movies but they are usually pretty campy, I know DC tries to make itself all dark and more grown-up which is why I was curious.
I definitely wouldn't let my 5yo see it, though I get parents are different. I have a pretty low threshold for the amount of cinematic violence I let my kids watch.
I was just about to say this.
I don't like that movie Batman kills, but every on screen Batman has killed. Burton's Batman directly murdered two people in the '89 film. Nolan's Batman had a dozen or so collateral damage deaths during his escape from the League of Shadows, then got all sorts of ambiguous by "not killing but not rescuing" Ras al Guhl. So Snyder's decision just follows in his predecessors' footsteps. This isn't even particularly over the top for a killing Batman, considering the body count from Batman Returns.
I think the truth is probably more along the lines of Hollywood simply doesn't know how to have an action blockbuster protagonist who has zero kill count. They aren't creative enough to figure out how to make it work.
Nerds!
Actually I want to see it but don't want to sit in a theatre that long so I will probably wait for Netflix. Is this too dark for a 5 year old?
Just voted, we are up 58 to 42% right now...
But 69-0 would have been pretty sweet...
I would like to lol at uva but we lost in the sweet 16 of the NIT so...
Suck it hoo's ! Just woke to find this great news......now my fishing trip today will be even better!
Go Hokies!
I read something earlier today that might be able to explain this. Just a theory but it helped me be OK with this interpretation of Batman.
Consider the idea that batman killing is a new thing for him -- branding criminals. Feeling powerless in the wake of Superman's arrival turns Bruce cruel (alfred). Post fight with Supes and he says he "failed him in life, but will not fail him in death." He then finds Lex in jail and looks like he is a bout to sentence him to death by branding him, instead just scares the shit out of him like Batman is supposed to do. Not branding Luthor represented giving up on killing.
