Tenn girls are so pretty
I misread this as "teen girls are so pretty" and was a bit concerned for a moment.
yeah I was expecting something else, for some reason.
I doubt any hoos saw it.
But hey at least, my groom's cake was tits.
totally not the cake shape I was expecting to go with this statement...
I promised the wife that she can have anything she wanted (within reason) for our wedding...so long as it wasn't in fall. That has been the only battle I have ever won since we were married on 4/27/13. But hey at least, my groom's cake was tits.
So I got that going for me, which is nice.
We do not have a single road win over a NCAA caliber team, we do not belong in the tournament. Two neutral site wins over tournament teams might get us on the bubble, but might win the ACC tournament. Winning conference record should get us into NIT. Even in conference should get us on bubble, but may need to knock out a bubble team in the ACC tourney to get in. Winning over-all record should get us into post season play, which equals my best case pre-season predictions, and puts us well ahead of rebuild schedule. Huge turn around with positive momentum to help get us over the recruiting hump with mid-level ACC prospects, where they would chose VT over Clemson, GT, Wake, etc and help us make a jump into the next tier. Great article. I would rather go to any tournament where we can get some wins than sneak into one with an awful seed and play a really good team in a hostile environment first game.
Tracy Wolfson has mentioned doing this.
The ACC posted a write-up on the tournament which can be found here.
My friends did pretty well with this, but their kids haven't been so considerate. Seems like a conflict happens every year. DVR has saved the day a couple of times, and not being able to find a dogsitter (swear to God, friend, I really really tried!) has worked a couple of times. I dearly love my friends, almost all of them are Hokies, and since their kids grew up with us around a fair amount, they seem to really want us at the wedding, but my friends should have taught their children better.
No way!!! I had quite a few classes with him. I got to check on this with my 757 / Central VA Hokies, but I have been saddened today.
During a time when the football players were really reading their own press, he remained a great person and very nice to me my freshman year.
Obviously.
The good thing is that my wife went a football school and didn't want to mess with football saturday either.
As a resident of Beamersville(C'ville) that works with a couple-o Hooheads (one of them my supe) I discovered that they have a very vested interest in our success for the following 2 games. I discovered that if we knock off da U, they presumably get a better or best seed for the ACC tourney.
I still remember the Sports Illustrated season preview about the Hokies. We had All American candidate in Allen Bristow (who was an amazing inside-outside player) and they basically acknowledged him but dismissed the team. They said that they had three things to say about Va Tech.... that is "They are two short (nobody in the starting lineup over 6-9), too local (could field a starting lineup of all Va. players) and too white.....
Cam getting a long pass to the 5 yard line. That was a theme last year.
The lack of forethought by my parents in this is how I was at my first Hokie game at less than 3 weeks old!
If the bride wants a fall wedding then she gets a fall wedding. Women plan this shit their entire life and could care less about their future husband's friend being a fan of this team or that team.
Right there with you. To play on a high level court you need some combination of athleticism and skill. If you want to play as a team, you need good coaching and toughness.
AAU kids come into college programs pretty pampered oriented around themselves and their "chaperones"... IMHO. Sadly many don't actually have the skills they need to succeed.
I feel like Buzz has done a great job of getting some great athletes into the program. He has "skilled them up" much more than I thought could be done during a season. Much more work to be done, but I admire the job he has done with skills development (during the season). I have preferences around offensive sets, but I do feel like the offensive sets these kids run and I guess are designed by Buzz have been perfect for this team. Lots of guys getting the ball... minimizes the dependence on a PG (which I still maintain we don't have). So I really like the Buzz team coaching piece. Lastly, Buzz has gotten these kids to buy into being tough. I freaking hate cheering for any team that can't blue collar up and outwork out tough another team. I feel like every time I turn on the TV (or Internet) to turn on VT hoops.... I want to be actively cheering this group on. This has become an easy team to root for.
NIT, NCAA... those things will all come in time... we are on the right track and we have a bunch of kids and a fantastic coach to cheer on.
My nephew is getting married in New Jersey in September....but it's scheduled for the 23rd, which is a Friday. I think this makes Saturday a travel day, and that's ECU weekend. Hopefully the game is on watchESPN so I can stream it and talk the wife into driving for 3.5 hrs.
I thought they stopped making those NCAA games. Graphics are incredible though.
So far I've managed to have all three in None football months. Feb, March and June. We shall see about the next one.
My only question is how is FSU a lock for the NIT? If you compare them to us it's a pretty close call. Their SOS is ranked slightly higher although this could be argued considering they only played Iowa out of conference and we played ISU and WVU. Secondly, if you look at the conference games, we have almost identical wins and losses outside of FSU beating ND. They are 7-10 in the ACC while we sit at 8-8 and we beat them. Even if Tech loses their last two and FSU loses its last to Syracuse I still think Tech has a stronger bid for the NIT when compared head on to each other.
My fiance and myself are planning our wedding currently and the only rule was it has to be before September or after january!
1. That requires far more forethought and planning than most babymaking adventures.
2. It sounds inherently risky, especially for a guy like yourself who, IIRC, has all girls. You're never going to win the princess party vs. Hokie football battle.
I didn't schedule it so, but in a happy coincidence, my son's birthday usually aligns with the spring game. I get to take him to the game and pretend it's a birthday present. Win-win!
