Staying another year in Blacksburg let's make history!!! #hokienation pic.twitter.com/H7iWDHLDED— bucky hodges (@Bucky757) January 13, 2016

Should've signed a 1-year "prove it" deal then. He's in line for a nice payday next go round if he continues to improve.

I was able to confirm it because that's what the bottle of stuff I shook on the fries said.

Pal Barger's daughter ran the location I got my first job at. That family is not averse to hard work. He literally built that company from nothing, and it's consistently one of the highest rated fast food chains in America. And I'll say this: I hear a lot of horror stories about people who work at a fast food restaurants saying they'll never eat there again after they work there. I would eat off the floor of a Pal's. The cleaning schedule is hospital-level.

Are students back yet? Can we expect energy in the Cassell crowd tonight?

Cheese? Yuck!

Only a couple areas that I am not sold on here.

I think your Alpha Male listing is pretty spot on, although I may have inserted Blackshear slightly higher but overall its fairly accurate of how this team has played.

Floor General, I think Bibbs is too high on this list, as I rarely see him do the smaller down and dirty things necessary of this kind of role at this level. I am not sure if its the concussion from last year that has him playing such a reserved presence on the court, except when draining threes, but its frustrating because last year he showed much of the same drive with the ball as a Clarke or Hill.

On rim protector, I definitely would have Bibbs below Wilson, primarily because Bibbs stays outside the lane so much that he is almost never in position to rebound or block/change shots. Wilson is able to stay with his man off the dribble better than Bibbs and isnt afraid to stick his nose into the lane on both ends of the court when needed. I am also not sure Pierce deserves to be that high in this category, considering his physical attributes, its disappointing the results we get on both ends in terms of the rim.

Your last two categories are about perfect.

Overall, I would say that Wilson and Blackshear should both be ahead of Henry. Henry shows flashes but Blackshear has shown most consistently and Wilson's presence has focused the Hokies in critical situations this season. Allen probably deserves to be ahead of TYRONE/Jalen because we have not had enough TYRONE to put him ahead of Allen.

I just hope it is not as ugly as the game in WS last year. The refs ruined the flow of the game. It was just about as bad as the last time I went to football game at Wake. At least their fans were too absent to get a "just like football chant" going.

They would have likely beat Clemson by two scores if he could have hit the broad side of a barn during that game. I think he was something like 5/22 at some point in the third quarter and some of those were legitimate pressures but a lot of them were just missing throws that he had time to make.

I wonder how much net revenue USC keeps from the city of Los Angeles because they don't have their own stadium? Also their alumni base is fairly small and the PAC-12's expansion prospects are more limited than the eastern conferences.

Bama only recruits and gets a few top kids from Virginia. VT gets a few kids way down the list in Georgia.

"Recruiting well" is a relative term.

I very much wish this game was being played in WS so that I could go to it, but Go Hokies!
