The worst is when you wake up to check the score in the middle of the night, groggily read the numbers wrong, do a little happy wiggle that we won, and wake up later to see we lost. Even Fridays are hard sometimes.
I think this is worth putting in this thread.
Everyone's favorite fun VT Professor John Boyer is doing a talk on the Evolution of Beer tomorrow.
He's the professor that has the Wines and Vines class as well.
Its hosted by the Charleston Alumni tomorrow at 2pm at Palmetto Brewery.
If any of y'all are nearby, please come on out!
Well, there's only so much to say about Durkin at the moment. We could go on about bourbon forever.
Two pretty exciting match ups especially the second game as UVA and Miami split games earlier this year.
But we have People's Court for that job as well.
I got front row seats for our NIT game against GT back in 1985 (I think). Great game, we won. Looking forward to an NIT home game this year. That would be fun.
Fairly sure that's against the Geneva Convention. This isn't 'Nam, Smokey, this is football. There are rules.
VT is out of it. My interest drops. I'll probably watch some of the finals Saturday.
I don't want ND in the final. Their ACC deal just ticks me off.
This thread went from Durking to Bourbon pretty quickly

# | Hokies Stuck Searching For More Following 88-82 Loss to Third-Seeded Miami I thought our rotation D was really good against Miami at Cassell. I thought that was a key part of that win.

# | Hokies Stuck Searching For More Following 88-82 Loss to Third-Seeded Miami With Miami's size, this is gonna happen (as compared to our FSU game, for instance). Our guys drive the lane really well and they can move the ball around to avoid these larger guys longer reach. Just the fact that the ball gets up there shows they are pretty successful at that, but those small manipulations have ramifications. These misses show the detail that goes on at the rim. (I agree with you, frustrating - I had my head in my hands each time that ball rolled along the rim and came out).
To me this shows how good our guys ball control really is. They will be even better at it next year - "furthering their craft" so to speak.

# | Hokies Stuck Searching For More Following 88-82 Loss to Third-Seeded Miami The words/phrases these guys use.
The show that Shane Henry gave for his last leave at Cassell.
The phrases Buzz uses in each of his media interviews and on facebook.
The talent we already have for next year that we watched all season.
The talent we already have for next year that couldn't play this year.
Next. Year. Is. Gonna. Be. HUGE!!!
But first, What's Important Now: These guys are hungry, they want to Win the NIT!!
My brain tells me UNC and UVA advance but my heart says ND will pull it out and Miami keeps it close. UVA and Miami split during the regular season but UVA is (unfortunately) hitting on all cylinders. They might actually win something this season. I think UVA wins a close one.
I always thought he hired JJ to keep guys like Erick Green. I heard Green was going to transfer if they didn't hire JJ.
You're right. In the end it doesn't really matter, but the little segment with Larranaga's pregame speech with Miami highlights bothered me way more than it should have so I've just been bitching about that.
The best part is it is reasonably priced. Their basic bourbon, which is a 90 proof, ~7 year bourbon for $35. Then they have a ~10 year single barrel, my favorite, at ~$50. The limited release go for anywhere from $45 to $75 depending on what they do for it. Now it is owned by Sazerac, which is where the other spirits come from, but again, bourbon is made in house.
That was actually the first thing I typed but I didn't want to put to much pressure on Settle knowing he was going to have Rogers behind him.
Too much pride to roll over last night when it was clear Miami was better, not enough talent to come back when Miami left the door open. Alas. Never defeated, only killed.
Can I come to visit your office? Friday afternoon sounds good.
Settle as lead blocker for Rogers?
If you like local and haven't had any of A. Smith Bowman's, you're missing out. It's won several awards and they make some fantastic limited release batches. Past ones have been a port-finished bourbon, red-wine barrel finished bourbon, vanilla infused, double-oaked, and more. Bourbon is made in house while the gin, rum, and vodka just have their label, but they've started some small batches of other items in their new still, like brandy.
Need a home game in cassel
why would you do that when Sam Rogers already does that from the sideline
Awesome - thanks! This is definitely one that I am planning on visiting soon - I've seen their stuff and heard rave reviews of it. It sounds phenomenal!
