You can find pick up most of the time over at Christiansburg Rec. mostly all year. Unless league's are going on. And during that time of year in the winter its better to just join one of the bball leagues, you can join a team as a single and don't have to have a team already put together.
And in most gyms in the area you can find a group playing on Sunday afternoons. (Christiansburg Middle, Dayspring Christian, sometimes Blacksburg High. Awhile back they use to post open gym times on the door of the gym.
This is how the whole situation is currently playing in my mind:
NCAA: "You cheated!"
UNC: "Uhhh no we didn't."
NCAA: "Yep, you totally did."
UNC: ".... Ok, yeah, we did."
NCAA: Something, something, double secret probation.

# | Bitter blog - Friday reset: Stroman, Knowles, Alleyne, tickets and Fan Day Season tickets yes mini packages no. Per #sauces not many season tickets had zip codes in Ohio. Not saying there weren't any and not saying that anOSU fans in VA,NC etc didn't buy some.
You missed "Help me understand the reasoning behind not wanting to call a timeout in that spot?"

# | Hokies Use Preseason Practice to Retool the Secondary in the Wake of CJ Reavis' Dismissal Okay, see I think we're talking about different situations. 4th and goal from the 1? Yeah, form tackling doesn't matter if you don't have the size.
QB running all over the defense simply because he's big? If you tackle low, and wrap up they may get a few yards but he won't be running wild either.
I hate to be a negative nellie but I don't think anything will be done to UNC. The system is too weak, any punishment will be as weak as the system.
I think last year was the worst case scenario. Hard to imagine things going worse to be honest.
Since I didn't get the chance yesterday, welcome! Glad you've enjoyed the site (it's ok, I'm sure you Bucks are used to the pretty bland gray stuff, but we do what we can) and I wholeheartedly agree that 11W and TKP are very similar. I wish all college sports teams had such great fan sites. The world would be a better place. A couple notes on what you wrote:
3. All fan sites have a ~5 % idiot core that can be frustrating. But I have noticed that you do a good job of policing your own (as we also try to do).
The issue this thread "addresses" is simply accuracy by volume. OSU has a huge fan base, therefore their 5% will be greater than our 5%. Just the way it goes. Ignore the crazies and move on.
6. I've learned that you don't like being referred to as V-Tech. So noted.
So help you if you address us as "Vah-Tech." Freakin' nails on a chalkboard, that one.
Never.
Gets.
Old.
Wow is about all I can say about this thread right now. Let me clarify a few things if I may. As it was pointed out to me early on in this thread my title was worded as to seem that the entire 11 Warriors site was "delusional", which was not my intention. My utmost apologies to any level headed OSU fan that may have felt slighted. I joined this site to get my Hokie fuckaround on with other like-minded individuals. I hate that some have perceived that I may have done this with intent to bash an entire website or forum community. My feelings and words were for the (here it comes) delusional fans that predicted an OSU fan turnout greater than the home team, the 50+ - 0 halftime score, and the runaround guys stating make believe facts. If any Buckeye is reading this and you think VT does not stand a chance on Labor Day, J T Barrett walks on water, Urban Meyer shits unicorns, Joey Bosa breaks bricks with his cock, or OSU simply cannot under any circumstances be defeated then YOU sir are the one I was referring to. To be fair there were a few individuals on 11W that had very good points about the upcoming slugfest for both sides of the 50 and I value and recite their opinions in conversations about the game to my friends and anyone that will listen at this point. Rant over.
7. I'm a veterinarian, not a veteran. Sorry about any confusion. Never had the honor of serving my country.

Sorry for the assumption. Guess I should have known by the Groucho quote. Looking forward to the insight.
Are the mini packages and season tickets available for OSU fans to purchase? If yes, I bet they did a lot of the purchasing.

# | Hokies Sift Through Stable of Now-Healthy Running Backs, Develop Continuity on the Offensive Line Someone mentioned this in a previous thread, but this time last year people were saying the right things about finding a good starting five, and figuring out who fits where. This year they are saying the right things about finding some guys to switch in and give the starting five a break every now and then.
That's a big improvement in my opinion.
any girls on the wrestling team?
I'm torn here. Volleyball players have the physique, but we've got some really good soccer players. I don't want to start throwing around terms like "genetically superior" (that's gotten quite a few people in trouble throughout history), but I wouldn't be opposed to having some top-10 national ranking mentality genes passed on in a Teller.

# | Hokies Sift Through Stable of Now-Healthy Running Backs, Develop Continuity on the Offensive Line I just can't shake the feeling that I read substantially the same comments from Coach Shane Beamer in August 2013 and August 2014. I don't have the links and I'm not going to look them up, but I would like to see him demonstrate what he has learned, rather than hearing him say it again.

# | Hokies Use Preseason Practice to Retool the Secondary in the Wake of CJ Reavis' Dismissal Who gets the rock down near the goal line the majority of a time? speedsters or fullbacks/big backs?
saying form tackling should negate a size difference is just completely inaccurate, which is the comment that I responded to. If you don't have the mass to stop the offensive player in their tracks and they have a significant size advantage, which way are they going to fall?
Won't expect a response.
More, if you consider that Woodrough left his girlfriend and mother behind, and then Ray's ex found out he was almost definitely the kids father.
Just want to say that I have enjoyed your posts and your perspective, welcome! And as far as being a veterinarian, as an animal lover I still thank you for your service! :)
and Hopkins for our DL needs, Vicks for QB (although I don't condone Marcus creating a miniature version of himself)
Not to mention full of tropes (one night stand baby, men sacrifice themselves to save women, women now do little but grieve for the dead men, "bad guy" has to die as atonement for his sins, running away to a foreign country, guy gets killed by his dirty partner).
It was bad enough they did this, but they went and did this TWICE.
This winter, we'd do pick up at the blacksburg rec center on Patrick Henry. Then warm weather came and everyone was playing other sports. I know there's open gym time, but I can't guarantee there will be a group playing.
you also may be able to swing access to War or McCommas on campus.

# | Hokies Use Preseason Practice to Retool the Secondary in the Wake of CJ Reavis' Dismissal That's why the heaviest guy on each team is always a tailback, regardless of speed or technique.
Oh, wait...
And they keep pulling in football recruits....how....exactly....?
