That's funny, I am considering buying 1 gal equipment so I can experiment in smaller quantities not wanting to invest the time and ingredients into 5 gal batches.

# | OT: UTenn sued for "Deliberate Indifference" towards Sexual Assault Marcus was also the final straw in what had been (at least publicly) a series of minor incidents. Once we dealt with him, those in charge realized we needed to make changes because the continual actions of the individuals were creating a reputation we did not want nor need.
It is so frustrating to see how unable we are to actually get the ball in the basket in games like this. We get decent looks and just cannot score, or we attack the rim, only to rim out or miss badly, often whether the shot is seriously contested or not. It is easy to see that we are outmanned, it is also easy to see that if we had the players, Buzz's coaching would have them in contention pretty much every game. I love the guys we have, and I do think they will improve with age and experience, but it is sometimes painful to watch the process. The next couple of years' recruiting will tell the tale, though. We need more firepower!

# | OT: UTenn sued for "Deliberate Indifference" towards Sexual Assault Yep.... In a vacuum I completely agree that you can't judge an entire program based on the acts of a couple individuals. But unfortunately, we're not in a vacuum, and the big picture right now is showing this kind of thing happening quite a bit with that school right now, and it does raise some questions.
Should we spend some money on lights and a DJ for the gym like Miami?
Take away all that stupid stuff, and their gym looks like it's in somebody's basement.
Just a lot of messed up stuff man. You're right though.
Looks bright with a lot of natural light to me. With regards to the walls, you've seen 2 plus a wall of windows. The 4th wall is mirrors.
Watch the video here and see if you still believe that our weight room is in need of some update.

I love the potential of all of these freshmen. Clarke needs even a serviceable jump shot, Robinson needs a better outside shot and to adjust to the physicality of the college game, and Blackshear needs to put on some weight and keep working on his shot. There is no doubt and my mind that Buzz is thinking the same thing and will push them to improve in these areas. If it goes well, any of them could be All-ACC performers.
I disagree, just like the current renovation of the Merryman center is important to the image of VT and its main avenue into people's homes. I think doing things like VT branded equipment tractor trailer is important, VT branded buses for sports teams is important and I think better branding in things like the weight room is important. All those priorities come after fully funding scholarships but hopfuelly in next 2 years the Hokie Club will be there.
I always imagined him and Dee Jay opening up a gym in New York City
Fireman, I'm telling you as a gym nut, this place is really, really nice. They have an LED board in there with all the bests of the week, month, year, and all time, the natural light is exaggerated in photos, and most of all the equipment is beyond brand spankin new.
It is a glorious gym that is about building gritty players not premadonnas.
Good share, I had never seen that video. I didnt know we had that backroom for speed drills.
side note: If thats Marshawn in that video, compared to the one I saw on snapchat the other day, hes gained like 50 pounds...

# | OT: UTenn sued for "Deliberate Indifference" towards Sexual Assault Don't know if he exactly should be a stain on UT's reputation
Even with that said, there seems to be a lot of individuals right now that shouldn't be a stain on UT's reputation.
At a certain point, you have to wonder if there's a reason why Tennessee seems to be attracting these kind of shady individuals to their athletic programs.
I dont think that was the last of the wolves by any means.
I thought it was awesome when the families kids got chewed on but tragic when mom went down. Is anyone else sick of the whole, "cover for someone who just tried to murder you and hope that you can help them rehab to normal again" deal? Carl would probably still have depth perception if he hadn't taken this approach. Now whats that gonna do to his shooting abilities?
Hot blonde mom dying really sucks but anything to unleash "crazy rick" is good. "Crazy rick" is the best character on the show. When he loses his mind and goes Mr. Hyde the show is at its best.
Lastly, how great was the whole blowing up of that motorcycle gang? That took a very refreshing turn.
we also signed Marcus Vick. And he was in the Burg longer than a month. I don't pin the actions of individuals on the university. How the university decides to handle that is a different story.
If I read correctly, there was no actual kid in this case. It was someone posing as a 14 year old. Not good, but at least there was no real child in this situation.
Reading on twitter, he's also accused of strangulation, unlawful imprisonment, and being a sack of human shit. Dude has been at UT a month or so. Don't know if he exactly should be a stain on UT's reputation but on the other hand, UT were the ones who signed him.
Spending money on things that aren't needed even if you have it is still a waste. I agree to increase the HokieClub membership but using that extra money to renovate something that needs no renovation is a slap in the face of all the other sports
Nah. George Bell was "100%" when he returned. His 100% just wasn't as good as his 100% was before his injuries.
I'm 100% today. My 100% just isn't what it was when I was 22.
Was watching with a UNC friend. 15 seconds left and UNC is taking the ball up the court. My friend says "Hurry up!" I say "Relax, they have 3 time outs. Roy will set something up for a last shot." A few seconds later and the game is over.
I figured maybe Roy was trying to get his players to call a timeout since he couldn't do it. So I watched the replay and it looked like Roy was in fact trying to call a timeout with about 5 seconds left. Another replay of just Coach Williams shows that he was just complaining about no call for a foul. I understand not calling a timeout to take advantage of defense not being set, but Duke was ready for it and UNC had no idea what to do. Terrible choice I thought.
Clarke's rebounding energy is amazing. Reminds me of Ace Custis.
100% is the same as 100% from 1000 years ago.
Florida hasn't left the state to play anyone OOC in 25 years. I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for a home-and-home with them.
UGA and USCe, sure, let's make it happen.
I'd Marshawn is getting too big to be a reliable RB, could we switch him to LB as a run stopping specialist?
If he is north of 240 by the time spring practice starts, he would be bigger than any of our projected two-deep, and with the athleticism he's shown, he could be very disruptive and would reduce the logjam at RB (same goes for Reid)
