Not really though, I personally feel that every episode of Silicon Valley has a bad or sad ending...

Great Lee corso reference. But dang it's gonna be a long off-season

Ok so we are getting our own Chicago Maroon! FINALLY! So tired of the different shades of gear at the bookstore. So when do we get our own burnt Orange to go with it?

Currently tied 80 -80 in my advanced predictions. Will change before the actual tourney, but looks very much like a 2 horse race compared to VT UVA Pitt last year

New York upstate checking in. Two days ago TWC says "rain on Tuesday". Of course eshiben5 says "not so fast, my friend", and lo and behold we've got 2+ inches of snow already with ice on the way. (-)5 F to (+)51 F in under 36 hours.

To make duals matter they want a Duals National Champion from the top match. They aren't going to pass on a team just to avoid a rematch. The rest of the matches they will avoid rematches but the title dual won't have that stipulation. It would be no different than when Alabama and LSU had a rematch in the National Championship game.

True. But when we were down they barely beat us. Either way, I don't guess it matters. I think we're a much better dual team than tournament team. The ACC tournament is not going to be a walk in the park.

I knew John before he started at Radford High, by way of the "caddy shack" at Round Meadow Country Club in Christiansburg. They let white guys like me carry bags and make a few bucks and John was a regular in the old barn the caddies hung out in. We pitched pennies and generally had a great time in between the grunt work. John was a very friendly and bright guy. I remember when Radford High integrated, a few of my friends were nervous. It was a college town, with many Radford College professors and administrators from other areas of the country. Attitudes about integration were probably more enlightened than many small southern towns, but a few people still had questions, maybe because they had never had a chance to socialize with any blacks or maybe for "other reasons". Anyway, I told everyone who asked me that the guys I knew at the caddy shack were like "us". Those first black students at Radford were a brave bunch of kids, just like what played out at so many places across the country. Integration went without a hitch as far as I know. I remained friends with John until My family moved to Roanoke. Of course, he was my favorite Hokie for a long time, replacing Kenny Edwards on my list.

Thanks for bringing back some great memories!

Well after reading all the posts so far in this thread. I will agree with some and say she is def easy on the eyes! But I am glad that Coach FU and VT are breaking the mold, if she has the qualifications, which it appears she does I hope she does great for our university! This is really something we should get behind!

No trophy but there is a banner in the wrestling room.

Smitty checkin in. Cburg got about 10 inches, then the sleet started. We got a couple hour break which allowed me to catch up so I could complete shoveling so I could leave tomorrow am 4 Arlington. Wife is set too. Just before dark tonite it got really icy n we heard on scanner several big rigs wrecked on I81 near radford exit. It's really bad rite now. Rain later tonite should clear roads overnite (man I hope so). Be safe out there it's bad.

To each his own. I definitely don't like the majority of the Adidas/UA ultra-flashy stuff, but I just really don't like the shoulder stripes. I like what Whit has said about keeping the standard VT on all of the helmets for a really consistent look, and I also agree about adding some Hokie stone/gray looks into the colors. But I personally think the shoulder stripes have gotten a little stale at this point.
