VT and tOSU both went 1-1 in the NIT this year, but I agree with your point. Matta is a great coach.
That leaves only about $16.5 million left to cover the rest of the renovations that are expected to take place. Now we just need a top notch team to play in it.
Thank god we have got some football again. Spring football is methadone for my football addiction.
I don't have a second-favorite team in anything because I want all other teams to lose, but I have started to root for the Giants a little bit lately. A lot of the Flying Squirrels have become major pieces in SF, so it's fun to watch in the same way a lot of Richmonders became Braves fans watching Chipper, Glavine, Martin Prado, Marcus Giles, Javy Lopez, etc...
Plus I have a good friend that I used to play with that was drafted by the Giants organization last year, so on the off chance he makes it to the show, I might have to break my "no second-favorite team" policy.

# | Union Bank gives 3.5 million for English Field naming rights The great thing I loved about the basketball court was the sponsorship was done by Carilion. The program got a ton of cash from a company that has Virginia Tech in the name so it's not like Whit completely sold out.
But if they lived in Richmond (like the people I was referring to) before the Nats arrived, Baltimore was pretty much as good as it gets for a "home team"
This is not directed at you personally, just Nationals fans in general, and this probably won't be popular with all the Northern Virginians on here, but... Nationals fan since 2005 or Nationals fan since 2012? Not that I expect them to have previously been Expos fans, but as a Braves fan I cannot stand how Nats fans have come out of the woodwork since their first division title. Where were all of you in 2008? I don't recall seeing many Jose Vidro or Nick Johnson jerseys. Nats fans remind me of UVA basketball fans. They're indifferent until they get really good, then they get a real obnoxious #Natitude.
And yes, I know Braves fans never fill Turner Field (even when they're winning) but I watch almost every game I can on MLB.TV, except when it's blacked out and I have to watch Satan himself, FP Santangelo on MASN.
Edit: Sorry to get off topic. Our basketball season is over, Opening Day is approaching and the Braves are going to suck again this year, and the Liberty game is still 165 days away.
Richmond is Braves country, and will probably be for a while -- I actually know very few people from RVA who root for the O's unless they have family from further north.
DC has its fair share of O's fans who grew up rooting for them due to lack of a DC Baseball team but I can tell you as a DC native I never thought of Baltimore teams as my home team and that's not an uncommon feeling among Nats fans.
Fair enough. His NFL career has certainly solidified my opinion about which position he's best suited for.
"Buzz Watch 2016" got turned into "How Legit of a Fan Are You of Your Favorite MLB Team?" and I take full responsibility.
In the mid to late 90s we were the best team in the Big East and they treated us like a temp at the corporate water cooler.... totally ignored and unworthy. Those Tech teams HAD a reason to play with a chip on their shoulder; especially against the ACC who had told us we were not good enough to be at their table. Even after the natty championship run in '99, the bIG East treated us like a proverbial rented mule, exacting their tons of flesh to let us join their circle and again the older members never really accepted us and let us not forget the trashing our 2003 team took at the hands of the bIG East refs on our sojourn season. Finally in the early years fo the ACC, we were treated like the unwanted cousin who crashed the party and was neither wanted or accepted....again. Yeah, in the early seasons of the ACC we had good reason to continue playing with that chip, but as everyone came to grudgingly accept VT as the upper tier of the league, we started losing that edge. Couple that with the transition to a zone blocking scheme that had linemen tying up their feet while they thought about who to block in a stunting DLine, and the old junkyard dog mentality of the OLine began to fade out. When that started the whole offense followed except when a few amazingly talented players stepped up to carry the load, since 2010, those players were looking elsewhere. The new Regime has a chance for a reset. Everyone has said that Coach Fuente is basically like the ying to the yang of Coach Foster and will bring the attacking mentality back to the offense. That happens and we will begin to see the ghosts of those old OLines of Pyne and Conaty, Grove, Washingtons, Vick, DeMasi, Gibson, Montgomery and all the rest standing on the sidelines applauding except that well, they aren't dead yet and hopefully some will be in the stands cheering their azzes off.
Only because the CFP is too damn small to make that comparison. 19% of D1 schools go to the dance (68/351). 3% of FBS schools go to the playoff (4/125). We're gonna need a 24 team football playoff to really compare.
explorer? I don't even know her...yet
I took into account that for the majority of his career Kam was a SS playing FS.
I mean I guess you could throw Roy Williams in there too
Baltimore =/= DC
Pretty sure it has a lot to do with tickets being somewhat overpriced, the stadium being far out of the way for most Skins fans, and the traffic situation around FedEx being so poorly designed that even Ghandi would get road rage.
The Orioles moved to town in 1954
Skins fans aren't fairweather fans of the team as a whole, but I'd say a large portion of the fanbase is fairweather about players. The assholes that at one point in 2014 wanted Colt McCoy to start games were the same assholes that wouldn't shut the hell up about Robert Griffin III being Christ himself in 2012. But at least we can all agree that we only suck because Dan Snyder was sent by Satan, who is a Cowboys fan, to singlehandedly ruin the franchise.
It would be 2016 ACC conference play, part duex.
Something something Probe
He'd probably be ejected and have to sit out the 1st half of the next game for launching in 2015. Despite not jarring the receiver too much
... and then a CB before playing either S position.

I was just thinking wrestling and BB are over, now what....and this story pops up to remind me the spring starts tomorrow!
