I think it's important to differentiate what we are spending money on. Yes you have to spend money. What you don't have to do however is dump it out of the back of a truck for random things. Clemson I'm looking at you. Whit definitely gets that though and seems to have a good balance of opening the checkbook only when it is truly necessary.
The bottom will eventually fall out of the arms race and I don't want to experience it when it happens.

# | AD Whit Babcock Promises Uniform, Fundraising, Facilities Changes Coming in 2016 I have an opinion on uniforms.
I like the _____________ combo we wore for that ___________ game.
It's the best.
The rest are awful.
UT will be really dangerous if they get a great DC.
They have so much talent that it is scary and I think they'll be a top 10 team and win the SEC East.
Is Scott being paid a lot? I haven't seen it anywhere in my exhaustive research (8 seconds of google searching).
I was kinda hoping for an all orange everything look for the game, with a little white trim.
And a small helmet sticker or uniform a patch that says our orange is the not the only thing better than yours.
It is their conference room. No joke.
Okay, I give, what game is that counter from?
Why can't we just wear those striped helmets from Bowl game, Maroon with striped shoulders and white pants. So clean. Switch that with an all white away strip, and that's one of the classiest uniforms in football.
Is it too far to to play the NOVA catholic schools?
I hate everything about 'bama' including their fans, coaches, bag men, state, and silly little red uniforms. Do I want to be like bama...NO.
I've heard (from a Vol fan) that Jancek left because of disagreements with new TE coach Larry Scott and possibly the amount of money Scott is being paid. Not sure if true, probably worth taking double the amount of salt grains.
More importantly, did he keep the media waiting until the end without sending coffee and donuts? /s
Soooo has VT offered a staff position yet??
"Khalan will be following the general," said Laborn's mother, Terese Hogan. "We are 100 percent supportive of coach Scott, so we wherever he goes, that's where we're going."
The Axis of Evil?
I don't see Tennessee doing this if they didn't already have their next guy (who they think is better) already lined up.
I'm confused, what "elite Catholic league" is Bishop Sulivan going to join? There are only a handful of Catholic High Schools with football programs in the whole state.
I want to know if he had to set anyone straight in his first staff meeting. Like my way or the highway.

Actually, you might be surprised.
Kids pick schools based off their uniforms from time to time. Like any field, the way you feel about how you look can impact your performance. When I have a big client presentation, I wear my best suit. In my mind it boosts my presentation if I look sharp. Why would it be different for college kids on national TV? If anything the effect might be more pronounced
It has nothing to do with superstition. Everything to do with how people actually think and behave
Great season everyone and congrats to history hokie on the engagement
That dude has a strong beard game.
I know someone who would start advertising if you went premium

# | AD Whit Babcock Promises Uniform, Fundraising, Facilities Changes Coming in 2016 Noooo.....I don't want him as president. I want him as AD at VT. That's a lot more important of a position to my personal happiness than PUSA.
Ooooh and made of denim and slightly greasy.

I wonder what percentage of Virginians have actually visited the coal producing part of our State. I'm guessing that most people don't realize that there is another 3+ hours of VA west of Blacksburg and that the Roanoke Valley & Blue Ridge produce no coal.
If you want to see Virginia's coal country, drive 2-3 hours west of Blacksburg on 460. The road crosses into West Virginia and then quickly back into Virginia. Past Richlands the terrain changes dramatically as well as the economy. When you get to Grundy, there is no natural flat ground anywhere (although there are plenty of mountaintops that have been leveled via strip mining) and you are in the heart of Virginia's coal country. VERY different than the rest of the state.
There are smaller deposits of coal in other parts of the State, but that far western region of Dickenson, Buchanan, and Wise Counties produce the vast majority of the coal mined in Virginia.
