# | OT: University of Maryland to Sell Beer at Football/Basketball Games I've heard of drinking in parking lots. Dinking in parking lots sounds like a far more unusual activity.

# | Report: Suspended Virginia Tech RB Shai McKenzie Expected Back with Hokies in August So we pull a SEC act and "suspend" him for the year while he rehabs that knee and thinks about what he's done!
House arrest at Merryman in the weight room.
Make it happen, Jimmy.
I agree, it is weird how it is laid out and I've never understood it. It really sucks when the roads need plowed and the trucks are miles and miles away.
It probably seems like that because its 30th as a metro area, which is what makes other places seem busier. Idk though I've never been
My problem is that we could have both Fuller and Facyson go pro next year and with the other graduating DBs we could be looking thin next year. He looks to be the kind that could fill right in. So the combination of being the best DB factory in the country, mixed with immediate PT was not enough to bring this kid in, where do we make improvements? Is it just winning?
To me, Columbus doesn't feel like a "big city," and to me that's a huge positive (as you said, the traffic is not bad, a lot of down-to-earth nice people, etc.). Then again, if we go by the population of metro areas, Columbus does only rank 32nd, whereas the DC/Arlington/Alexandria/VA/MD/WV statistical area is 7th.
Because it's a sprawling mess. It stretches into 5 counties.
What does this have to do with refrigerators?
"Columbus is one of the better semi-large (not too large) cities in the U.S."
It is weird, Columbus is the 15th largest city by population in the U.S. but you just don't see it. It never seems to dense when you're in the city.
VT athletics has a policy on this... the best I can recall it goes something like this:
felony conviction = you're done
pattern of multiple misdemeanor convictions / lying to coaches = you're done (see Marcus Vick)
one misdemeanor conviction = suspension for a few games up to a full season depending on the circumstances
I know I couldn't watch Maryland play without drinking.
But I'm not sure I buy the "They'll drink less if we let them drink inside the stadium" argument. They're allowing it for the same reason everyone else does. Profits.
she quit...
I wouldn't say that all of the Ohio State hype in Columbus would make the city "get old" to a non-Buckeye fan, but it would probably annoy you. I'm an Ohio State grad who grew up in Columbus, but now live in the southeast.
The bottom line is that both Columbus, Ohio and Blacksburg, Virginia "punch" well above their weight classes. They're just in different categories. Columbus is one of the better semi-large (not too large) cities in the U.S. Blacksburg is one the most pleasant, picturesque, appealing college towns in America.
Buckeye fans lucky enough to travel to Blacksburg this fall are very excited about the trip. We'd like to think that V Tech fans who made the trip to C-Bus last season had a good time. If they didn't, they probably didn't get very good restaurant recommendations, because C-Bus is a very good food town.
No, this is not a sex crime that he will have to register for.
I can absolutely assure you the deer are bigger in Ohio than both VA and GA...
I said Lake Erie based off of going to visit Put-N-Bay.. I've included a link that gives a pretty good representation of the deer differences (It is 2013 I know, if you find a more recent please let me know). Also the Civil War battlefields are great yes, I like the hiking and cave aspect (Old Man's Cave) of Ohio better.
Oh, yes Amish people are great by the way I wouldn't suggest judging them before you hire them to help you do something. They are the hardest working people I have ever met.

If you have to ask, you can't afford it.
On your second point, that would be like saying Redskins was initially meant to be a disparaging moniker, and it wasn't. Even the anti-Redskin Slate article that came out last go around admitted as much. Because no team would intentionally want their team to be tied to negative qualities. That's my point. Saying Dumpster Fire would be an outrage now but later on we would be used to it isn't the same situation.
As for the Chicago Fire, yeah, people that lost all would not be fond of it immediately being used for their team name, but years later, it becomes a redemptive "yes we lost all, but we overcame and we're still here". An apt, local, reclamation of what was a bad ordeal originally. Though, in my opinion, almost all of the MLS team names are exactly the sort of bland, grayness that I'm talking about...
Fair is fair, I have not traveled through the entire state but I did live in Richmond for about 2 years and still preferred Columbus. I would love to head down there and hit the water, kayaking is a beautiful thing.
Exactly what I was trying to say up top, we are all biased and I understand this debate will not be decided here. Just wanted to put my .02 cents in before people assume Ohio to be something it is not.
so is he gonna end up on a sex offender list now?
the thing is several of those examples - especially the Starks - Ned and Robb only work now that we've got a large body of story without them present. Jon could be the same way. He already did something major - he rounded up a bunch of wildlings and let them through the Wall. There are two more books and 20 hours more of the TV series for that to turn into something 'important' to the overall progression of the story such that Jon has "served his purpose"
from your list, I'm guessing you live (lived?) in Northern Virginia. Let me apologize on behalf of the rest of the state for that. No one likes Northern Virginia. People live there because they have to for work. In every aspect, but geographic location, it belongs north of the mason dixon line. I've written my congressman asking if we could just give it to Maryland, but no dice.
I grew up in central Virginia and now live in Blacksburg. That's "real" Virginia as far as I'm concerned. Wanna go float a river? Done. Want to hike a mountain? We've got that, too. Caving? Within a ten minute drive of my house. Wanna go watch a football team that beat anOSU last year?
I can't speak to the politeness of Ohioans as a whole, but I can tell you that, in my experience, the average Northern Virginian is on par with your average New Jerseyan rather than your average not-NoVa Virginian.
McKenzie is to report to jail by next Friday at 5 p.m. to serve his 15 days. #Hokies— Norm Wood (@normwood) July 9, 2015
Oh no look what I've started....
Thank goodness you're a Fireman!
