Postdoctoral fellow, currently in pharmaceutical sciences at the University of Maryland. I do computer modeling and simulations of biological systems and why I am around here so much - I am as close to physically linked to a computer as I can be without being an actual cyborg. Files transferring? Read latest comments. Analysis program running? Read latest article.
At the moment, it's on the path to my desired career of university professor. So for now, it's a job.
Sitting in Intro to Geotech right now going through a slideshow of retaining walls. He is right, it is that boring.
IT for a large defense contractor. I use Google a lot.
Motel 6?
Sources->sauces->marinades. He wants the inside scoop on the hokies.
Certain segments of the fan bases at Georgia and Texas weren't happy with him. Georgia fans because they haven't won the SEC (never mind that's generally been more of a defense problem for them). And Texas fans because the team was crashing and burning in Mack Brown's last few years.
Recall that Texas hired Searels away from Georgia. It's not like he was fired.
The guy has a fantastic resume when it comes to coaching OL. Is he the best OL coach out there? probably not. He is he perfect? No.
But he's damn sure better than Newsome, and better than Grimes too, at least in terms of his ability to recruit quality OL prospects to Virginia Tech and his aggressive blocking philosophy.
09' BC here!
Wow. He is intense out there. He barks through some lingo pretty dang fast out there. I have a new appreciation for what the QBs have to go through.
Not an engineer.
CPA working in financial audit for one of the Big 4.
Impressed!!!!
I'm going to be there at about 9am to start tailgating. If my group can find tickets that day by either via scalpers or stubhub that aren't going to be a fortune we will go. If not....we will probably just stumble over to downtown and watch it there.
I bet blacksburg wishes they'd consulted someone like you about that high school a few decades back...
...aaaaand now Im gonna have "BOOM! Confetti!" stuck in my head the rest of the day
Civil Engineer doing Site Planning and Engineering at a firm in NC
Just a jacket? Ooh, you're gonna need something thicker than that. And while I never wore long johns, I did have one pair of flannel lined jeans that I would break out when the wind chill went below zero.
Financial Analyst for a large home improvement retailer (the blue one)
True, but the question was who is going to be there.
Permanent student here.
As a 3rd year medical student trying to decide a profession, what do you like/dislike about internal med? Would you mind if I emailed you to ask a ton of questions? Jcg0007@vt.edu
Optometrist.
I have my degree in Biochemistry, but I somehow have ended up as an Analytical Chemist for a Fortune 1000 specialty chemicals company. It took me a while after school to figure out that I was much better at chemistry than biochemistry. Part of my job involves breaking the hearts of synthetic chemists by showing them that they didn't make what they thought they made. The fun part is trying to make stuff and/or figuring out why something may or may not have worked. Lots of problem solving to keep the brain active.
As for the OP's desire to get into sports media, I think Andy Bitter has expressed on here before how becoming a sports writer has somewhat killed his fandom. Maybe inquire with him, next time he stops by (or hit him up on twitter).
I can hit a mean brown note
I do not do this job in blacksburg. make with the marinades?
