# | Danielle Bartelstein Stresses "Business as Usual" Start to Hokie Career, Despite Groundbreaking Role Not grouchy at all. This is good stuff to know.
Isn't the red woman (Melisandre) still at Castle Black? What if she attempts to burn Jon's body for his "kings blood" or just to keep him from turning into a walker and he is reborn? Sort of like when Daenerys walks into the fire with her dragon eggs and "gives birth" to the dragons. Dragons (Targaryens) cannot burn. The fire brings Jon back to life. Melisandre believes its the coming of the Lord of Light or whoever the person is they think Stannis is (I haven't read the books in some time). This puts Jon Snow in charge of everything in the North. He hastily begins to strengthen the Nights Watch and the castles guarding the wall.
As much as I love debating Jon's role. I am really curious to see where Bran's storyline goes as well as Arya. Does Bran become some Demi-god? What role does he eventually play in this war? Does Arya become some notorious assassin and come to help aid the war? If so how?
Yeah me too. Reading on r/asoiaf has cleared up a lot for me and reminded me of things that I forgotten. I'll rewatch some of the episodes, but I don't see myself reading the books a 2nd time.

# | Danielle Bartelstein Stresses "Business as Usual" Start to Hokie Career, Despite Groundbreaking Role I did not see where anyone demeaned her or implied that she wasn't extremely qualified for this position.
It was the part where Alex wrote a great article about her and people's replies were about her looks. That shit happens to women all the time in professional fields as a tactic to demean and undermine them, as laid out very nicely in a couple of posts above.
This could've been - and maybe still could be - a chance to better understand how your other community members see the world. I get that it's not fun when real life and real talk intrudes on the football bubble, but it happens. Sports and the internet are still part of the real world, a real world in which we've come to decide that comments about attractiveness in a professional context are rude and boorish.
That's my biggest problem! Can't wait for the upcoming season though. Everyone is starting with a clean slate.
Our former punter has already dimpled the roof of the Beamer barn. That was one of his first goals upon going in.

# | Danielle Bartelstein Stresses "Business as Usual" Start to Hokie Career, Despite Groundbreaking Role that's interesting. I always sorta took "fat chance" to be sarcastic. So, with the sarcasm, it means the same thing as "slim chance" but without the sarcasm it would actually be the opposite.
Oh good thanks for adding some helpful information!
I just wanted to get the word out about this new prospect and hopefully it'll start a good discusion

# | Danielle Bartelstein Stresses "Business as Usual" Start to Hokie Career, Despite Groundbreaking Role Nailed it. I don't understand why being "politically correct" is a bad thing nor do I understand why the idea of being nice to people has a negative connotation. Like you said, politely correct sounds better, but it doesn't change the fact that so many people are against being "politely correct."

# | Danielle Bartelstein Stresses "Business as Usual" Start to Hokie Career, Despite Groundbreaking Role Well, it is the offseason. Not a whole lot of football to gain insight on.
beat me to it!
to add on to what you've posted, here's the link to his Kohl's Profile:
ProKicker.com has him rated as the #12 punter in his class
I agree. He's definitely going to show up again somewhere. He's the next Stark in line behind greenseer / warg Bran to inherit Winterfell and be the Warden of the North (2nd down depending on your thoughts about Jon Snow).
You're telling me... I jest have to drive 100 ish yards or so to get to 460 and was planning to make it to work late yesterday, but nobody EVER came to plow my road (which has a school located on it!) in Shawsville. Oh well, missed a day. Not the worst result.

# | Danielle Bartelstein Stresses "Business as Usual" Start to Hokie Career, Despite Groundbreaking Role Well, ever notice how fat chance and slim chance mean the same thing? Gotta love the English language!
Probably not, but at the moment remember that Sansa has escaped Ramsay with Theon. This season will likely bring the Ironborn into the mix heavily, considering that the group of pictures released included Yara in them. If Sansa can gain support from the Greyjoys and the Ironborn, the North will be theirs.
Diablo doesn't look like a grown ass man out there.
Ah, gotcha.

# | Danielle Bartelstein Stresses "Business as Usual" Start to Hokie Career, Despite Groundbreaking Role TL;DR
is this a good summary?
I think it's a net with a yellow outline, not an actual field goal/cross bar.

# | Danielle Bartelstein Stresses "Business as Usual" Start to Hokie Career, Despite Groundbreaking Role To me, the term "pc" is argumentative and not necessary in many of the instances it is used. How about socially correct to reflect the actual point? Maybe pc as in politely correct? Yeah, too many folks are outraged these days about too many things, especially when innocent or innocuous things are stated or implied, but "pc" has itself become a disparaging term and I, for one, am sick of hearing it. Most women will probably tell you that they resent the "looks first" take, especially when the article is about a woman who obviously is breaking barriers, but downvoting someone for being a typical male animal who didn't get vulgar or intensely personal seems like an overreaction to me, and I'm firmly in the "women's empowerment" camp.
I've got this dark feeling that we haven't seen the last of Ramsey+Sansa.
It's just a net with a ribbon/banner for the goal posts.
It actually hangs down from the ceiling and is not rigid.
She has written or cowritten almost (or maybe all) all of her songs. Her last 4 albums are excellent from top to bottom: Fearless, Speak Now, Red, and 1989. As someone who has an extensive enjoyment of and diverse taste in music, it's almost impossible for someone who truly loves good music to say she isn't extremely talented with a tremendous understanding of music. There's a lot of reasons people CHOOSE to not like her, that hold no merit in the quality of her songs. In summation, I don't think the use was liberal at all, and a tremendous number of people would agree with me.
My enjoyment of music, while extensive, is mostly as an audience with only a mildly above average understanding of music theory. But I have a significant group of friends who music is their primary passion/career and they all believe she is a tremendous talent and enjoy her work despite their styles often being very different.
I'm out of breath just watching that minute or so of snapchat story. The players weren't kidding about conditioning being amped up this year.
Fuente is looking extra comfortable in those sweats.
