A lot of my good friends ended up at JMU. Most of them were pretty nice about everything and I still keep in touch with them. A select few were absolutely awful and I just had to stop talking to them.
Well I can tell you that a biology degree from anywhere doesn't mean shit unless you go to graduate school. That was the one thing that every single person I encountered during an internship told me. (I was a biochem/biology major at VT so I'm well versed in all the jobs that I can't have)

The wrestling singlets have highlights of anthracite in them. Perhaps we should expect something similar for football.
New singlets for @VT_Wrestling have arrived! #HokieSwag #Nike #Hokies pic.twitter.com/3ycbrZoXOM— VT Equipment (@VTEquipment) November 30, 2015
Our recruiting area is in the pink areas of the maps. Our hype level is in the dark pick levels of the map!
Soooo can we get someone to create the WR Rotation Carousel already... this time it might actually work properly
I credit Tyrod for saying it first, when he was choosing between Florida and VT:
I'm going to the University of....Virginia Tech
Just another reason why I love T-mobile
saw texas and was like woahhh.. then the state came and I laughed at myself. #blondemoment
We are expanding the shit out of our recruiting footprint. I love it.
I probably saw the hate more than a lot of other people because the JMU game was my first year in college. All of my high school friends that ended up at JMU (most wanted to be at VT but weren't accepted) have never let that go. That was really when the hate started since they finally had an argument to say they were better than us in something.
I heard that's what he actually thought the name was.
LOVE that play. How many fullbacks can make an All American CB look like a fool? I mean other than Captain America's cousin?

# | AD Whit Babcock Promises Uniform, Fundraising, Facilities Changes Coming in 2016 Well done sir!
Kid brings a heavy shoulder... I like. My only critique would be that he doesn't seem to be playing the receiver, he seems to be playing with his eyes in the backfield, which is fine in HS but as has been pointed out many times on here, that is not the technique that Foster employs. Playing like that will get you burned at this level. But that is a skill that can/will be taught.

That name is verboten!
I love the torque you get from an electric motor, makes it a ton of fun to punch it at a stoplight, but the only way full electric it going to make it as a technology is if the markets are manipulated by the goverment (as they are right now with tax breaks and subsidies).
I would go into the whole energy density conversation with regards to batteries (aside: the best batteries don't have the energy density of wood), but it seems most of you are still unaware that fossil fuels are not "fossils" at all. We can grow algae fairly quickly so that it can be refined into fuel. We never have to worry about running out, only that currently it is more expensive than getting it from the ground. FYI: Virginia Tech is at the forefront of research into making Biogasoline economically viable.
The University of Virginia Tech. I don't mind. I loved it when Dwayne Lawson committed that way.
Yeah, I think that's where he ends up as well. Thus, we need more WR's.

# | AD Whit Babcock Promises Uniform, Fundraising, Facilities Changes Coming in 2016 I don't either but it's my go to when someone talks about grammar issues. It's kinda like Hokie Fireman's angry little girl gif towards Rich Rod's name.
They created an ABET accredited engineering program in '08. They call it a new kind of Engineering, but it is Engineering. They can sit for FE and get PE the same as other accredited engineering degrees. We can mock their engineers, but saying they aren't engineers is untrue.

# | AD Whit Babcock Promises Uniform, Fundraising, Facilities Changes Coming in 2016 Haha, I don't remember that episode.
This guy has Safety written all over him.
He is big, pursues really well, takes good angles, and can jump through the roof!
Yeah, I know a guy that graduated with a physics degree, got a full ride to study at Oxford for a summer, and was then sought out by a bunch of companies until the navy recruited him to be a nuclear engineer. I think a physics degree from VT is a-ok....
