Skins won a super bowl in the 90's
Crystal Pepsi was tasty
Hokies went to an NC and won a sugar bowl in the 90's
My music collection and most current video game systems (i never got past the n64) would be cool in the 90's
I'm ok with all this
Bring back the 90's!
I think this is worth digging up an old thread about Erick Green. He played well at the D-League Showcase two days ago. https://sports.vice.com/en_us/article/five-players-who-showed-out-at-the...
2. Erick Green, SG, Reno Bighorns
Green spent last season with the Denver Nuggets , but he was waived by the team on November 5 after playing just seven minutes in three games this season. He didn't get a great opportunity to show what he can do in 46 games with Denver, and strong summer league and preseason showings never led to a steady role.
The 24-year-old Virginia Tech product seems impatient for another chance. He scored 37 points with five rebounds and five assists to start the showcase and then capped things off with a 29-point outburst in the tournament's finale, a two-point victory. Shooting 22-of-34 over two games is one thing, but Green's now averaging 27.7 points on 53.8 percent from the field and 47.9 percent on triples, with 4.5 rebounds, 4.4 assists, and 1.4 steals to go along with the scoring.
"He's as close as a player can be to getting a call-up," Bighorns general manager Peja Stojakovic said Sunday. That assessment seems about as accurate as a Stojakovic catch-and-shoot three. Denver apparently wasn't it, but there should be a home in the league for Green.
EDIT: I found some highlights from the Showcase.
So many people in Houston would back the name change, but unfortunately, Tennessee still owns the Oilers name, even though they don't use it.
Sadly, horribly, inexplicably, yes.
They're going to live in a van down by the river?
Oh, and change the Texans name to the Oilers and change their colors to baby blue and red, while you're at it
Can we also have Jerry Glanville come back to the sidelines too?
EDIT - was supposed to be a reply to the above comment. Fail.
True, but it's the complete and utter disbelief that makes this funny. The gif reminds me of:
This thread is a witness to that.
Scary dude.
If I've got 850 million to play with, I can certainly afford financial managers who can get a worthwhile rate of return. Especially considering the yearly average rate of return is between 8-10% for the S&P, and actually higher if you consider a longer term. Like, I dunno, 30 years for instance.
I'm sure you can redeem them in a fashion similar to this
Of course. You are probably not old enough to remember the pet rock craze.

Assuming you are referring to all other rocks, save for Hokie Stone.
For the MLB, the Angels were a wildly popular PCL team before becoming an MLB expansion team. The fanbase was well established. The Dodgers were an extremely successful team, and won a pennant their second year in LA, making it very easy for people to get behind the team. Furthermore, they're in different leagues, and the difference is more substantive between AL and NL than between the NFL conferences (the DH rule is a real sticking point for some people). Finally, the Angels are technically in Anaheim, and the difference in locale between downtown LA and Orange County does matter.
For the NBA, the Lakers moved to LA in 1961 because of money issues, were the first team on the West Coast, and found basically instant success behind Elgin Baylor and Jerry West. The Clippers moved there 25 years later because Don Sterling wanted his shiny new toy closer to home. They were largely the little brother in town, and had very little success until rather recently, and conveniently, the Lakers have been in decline during the same period. Also, it's worth noting that rumors have been picking up about Ballmer looking into moving the Clippers to Seattle.
The NHL is another less than great example, considering the Kings are downtown and the Ducks are in Anaheim, the Kings have been there since the 60s and the Ducks came along in 1993, and the Ducks only really exist because Disney has more money than God.
So of all your counterpoints, the only one that closely compares to two teams coming in in a short timespan is the MLB, and there's enough differences there that I think my point is still valid. Time will tell, but I really hope the Chargers and Raiders stay put.
You better hope they mean something. :-)
The Wiz need to take action!
That stat line is just sick. 28 points on 54 percent shooting and 48 percent from three? Yeah, he will be on an NBA team sooner rather than later.
Is the giant Indian in front of Pratt's?
Tri Cities. Everything connects through Charlotte except for Allegiant Air.
Ross- is currently committed to UNC, but he is very close with Rick Wells and both are taking an OV the 22nd so we have a decent chance. Also went to same school as Ford (Trinity Christian Academy) so have to thing that is another plus for us. Hudl snipet
Pridgeon- has gotten a ton of offers so his recruitment is all over the place. No idea here.
Next you'll tell me that the turkey legs accumulated on this site won't get me anything.
I met Pal Barger while hammered one night at Carrabba's and after some careful questioning I was able to confirm that the seasoning salt on the fries is indeed Lawry's. If Lawry's and Franks Red Hot had a child it would take over the world.
Few thoughts:
1. As usual, UVA is ranked way too high
2. I don't get the hype around Louisville. I want to see them accomplish something before they become a perennial top 5 ACC team.
3. New QB. New Coach. Some talent at skill positions. I think our ranking is reasonable
Are you saying my jump-to-conclusions mat is meaningless as well?
You don't even need to know someone's age. Just ask them who'd we play in the Sugar Bowl and you'll know what generation they are by their response:
a) Texas
b) FSU
c) Auburn
d) Michigan
For me it will always be Auburn, not because it was the best game there, but because it's the only one I saw in person...
Isn't the entire conversation against the recruiting rules? How during a dead period is he contacting a recruit and/or his parents to tell them he wants to send the night in their bedroom until the dead period ends? How does he get to and into their house without "making contact"?
