I have never bought a powerball ticket before. Hell, I've never even bought a scratch off before, but I bought a powerball ticket just an hour ago. If VT suddenly has a Cody Journell School of Fermentation Sciences next fall, you can thank me later.

Not sure where I read it, I think Bitter, but it seems like these bonuses are bigger than what Beamer previously gave the assistants

How are all my best friends? Don't forget me when you win 1.5 BILLION dollars tonight!

Parks Mill BBQ is one of my personal favorites. More so a traditional pulled pork style, but the setting is great. They also offer RV camping, but it has to be limited because it isn't a big spread and its about 20 mins from BMS.

I've been to Clemson 3 or 4 times over the past 5 years. The campus and the surrounding area are about as similar to Blacksburg as you will ever find. Clemson is pretty much Blacksburg - Mountains + Lake. And they have warmer weather.

not if the plays work. I can just about guarantee you that a majority of the casual fans won't see the plays the same way if they work.

#source - I was (and largely still am) a really football stupid casual fan before discovering TKP (also, thanks French and Mason for making me 1.4Billion times smarter at football than I was 3 years ago)

I think you need to lighten up a bit. It was a hypothetical, and quasi rhetorical, question intended to poke fun at certain commenters who are lashing out at Shane unnecessarily. The point of the question isn't to launch into a discussion of who Frank is going to root for in the unlikely event that UGA and VT meet in the National Championship in Frank's lifetime while Shane is on staff at UGA. The point of the question is to provoke thought and bring to light just how silly and juvenile it is to jump all over Shane for "stealing our recruits from VA." You're not supposed to take the question seriously or even try to formulate any sort of reasonable answer. You're supposed to realize that Frank's enduring loyalty to VT is an unmovable object where Frank's wishes for his offspring to be successful is an unstoppable force. Frank is going to be supportive of Shane so long as he works hard and remains honest to himself, his peers, his subordinates, and his superiors. Frank is never going to turn his back on VT. We are all loyal to VT. Frank would appreciate that. We should all also be thankful for what Shane has done and wish him success in his career. Frank would appreciate that. I think it's ridiculous that people are jumping all over Shane for saying he wants to recruit a part of a country which he is familiar with from an institution where it makes sense to recruit said area. Leave the man alone. THAT was the point of the question.

The '95 Sugar Bowl was the best for me. It was new, never been there, VT was bursting onto the national scene, Texas didn't even know who we were. and then, we won the game. That was magic for me. '99 was certainly special for the implications of the natty champy, but if I were to rate my experiences, '95 wins. The atmosphere in the Dome in '95 was just more fun, as I said, newer, but just a great night to be alive. The '99 game had a different atmosphere. Different sort of fan there in addition to the school's fans. The sorta national ''ya gotta be at this event'' thing going on made for a spectacle, but not for a better experience for me and my crowd. Would it have been different had we won, well, no brainer, you bet. But first time in New Orleans, first Sugar Bowl, beat Texas and end up #10 in the country for the first big VT splash? Yep, I'll take '95.

most of it was just noise

Agreed. However, there were moments when the motion definitely created an advantage in spacing for the offense. Also, motion causes emotion. Even "just noise" can be beneficial to an offense if the defense has to spend extra time preparing for it.

sudo uptempo where we hurry to the line and we all stand up and look to the sideline for the next play

Start mentally preparing yourself for Fuente employing the same technique.
