First thought: we have some fine young men that are wearing the beloved maroon and orange.
Second thought: I was such an idiot at that time in my life, in contrast.
I would always start at Wiki but I never used them as a source. Wiki articles often list other more legitimate sources. I would go to Wiki, get familiarized with the topic, then follow Wiki's sources to get the real info and use those sources in my papers. This was back in 2004 and 2005 when, to my knowledge, Wiki was still somewhat reliable for most things. Plus, most of my teachers required at least 2 off-line sources so I still had to spend time in the library looking at old fashioned books.
Unranked...for now Kalil Pimpleton out of Muskegon High School in Michigan has been given an offer
Plays QB for HS but have to imagine this is a WR offer. Kid has hands and can absolutely fly.
...I'm still waiting on mine. I'm super jealous of all you guys. I really hope it comes in the mail today. I have been less than impressed with the mail system in Arlington. Some stuff just gets lost. I really hope that didn't happen with my Key. That would be super sad
He went into his mind palace for those answers:
Because you're old
Tickets to Lane Stadium North, 10 bucks in the parking lot pregame, hot dog and coke inside LSN, 10 bucks as well, seeing hope for loluva football turn into disappointment and dejection.....priceless!
Luther is recovering from a minor knee procedure he had in February. He has an individual pro day in Blacksburg scheduled next month.
nah, votes are just getting diluted. When I first started yesterday I was getting .01% or .02% per vote. Now I'm getting .01% every two or three votes. Just means there are probably 3x as many votes cast today total at this point.
I pray for clarity from the Seven Gods........... why is Snapchat so complicated?!?
And lets toss some more gasoline on the fire, this is taken from a 2011 article from Kyle Tucker back when he was on the tech beat:
The two teams have yet to meet since Brands left. Dresser said he e-mailed Brands last year to set up a dual match at Iowa; the wrestlers who left Tech with Brands were seniors last season. Brands never responded to the offer.
Dresser helped recruit Brands to Iowa and said the two were close until he left Tech, but they haven't spoken since. Brands did not answer multiple requests to be interviewed for this story.
So Dresser has been trying to schedule iowa since 2010 at least, maybe even before that. We've wrestled pretty much every other major team often multiple times in dressers tenure except iowa.
If I'm not mistaken, under Gentry linemen did back squats and skill players did front squats. Since JC Coleman was setting/breaking records in the Front Squat while guys like Augie Conte and Wyatt Teller were consistently the top performers on most of the other lifts, I'm pretty sure that they had them doing different squat lifts by position/size.
I was generally a Stinespring defender, but I have to say that this was some high quality trolling:
Stinespring may, in fact, be an agent of the University of Virginia. While some doubt this in the face of UVA's continued inability to beat VT, the situation has given birth to the phrase "Even Bryan Stinespring can't lose to UVA!" But considering that UVA's main desire is to watch Virginia Tech perform its Sishyphean task of filling that ridiculous empty trophy case, UVA's plan is going perfectly.
Gary Parrish on Dixon/Cronin/Kruger: Don't stay too long
Links to the amazing June 2014 article on Buzz.
Both articles are great reads, reminds you to not get too comfortable with your coach.
Just to pile it on the Iowa Oranges, Penn State and Iowa did not wrestle in the regular season because they were not scheduled to. In a previous season where this occurred, Penn State used an open date to wrestle at Iowa. The same opportunity occurred this season but Iowa refused to return the favor.
This article got me interested in the beef between VT and Iowa, so after some searching I came across this lively thread from a Penn St. Forum

I might have to start paying a lot more attention to wrestling
Got mine earlier this week and echo that sentiment. That thing is substantial in weight. If I need to use it to cut my way out of a dense jungle, I'm fairly certain it's up for the job.
Thanks Joe!
Hey, no worries, 60% of the time it works every time
I think my votes are now being rendered useless, it is time for some fresh IP addresses or something. I need to tag in a new TKPer. I have arthritis and carpal tunnel setting in.
Jamison Crowder is about to be huge for the skins....
+ for you. Never do anything half-ass.
