He seems to fall in that group where early on things are on cloud nine. Then at the end of that success comes an unpopular lull. One comes to mind - Bobby Bowden. In certain scenarios, I could see CFB go the same route although with Whitt on board, I doubt it. Weaver certainly was on a down trend the last several years. Don't know if it all occurred after the diagnosis or not. For sure, his watch did bring national attention to the school & our athletics. I'm like Joe - I disagreed with a whole lot but only at the end. RIP JW!!!!!
Seeing the Foo Fighters in DC tonight!!!!
Leg vtStronk, very interesting list there. I had NO idea we had 711 wins...I think I remember when Michigan hit 700.
I enjoyed the fact that we are kicking some SEC azz on that list, haha.

Excellent, H F. Like. I've got my eye on you.
Happy 4th Hokies! I am one (if not the only) Long Islander here, so I thought I'd share what's happening in my neck of the woods.
1. Visited famous Coney Island yesterday, on the eve of the hot dog eating contest. I would describe the scene as an eclectic cocktail: your favorite state fair married to bike week all while celebrating Chanukah, as the cousins dance to Latino techno music. Reminds me of Venice Beach.
2. Blueberry picking on the north fork.
3. Minor league ball game.
4. Fireworks!
Stay safe Hokies...I'm sportin' my gear all weekend. I ran into some FSU fans yesterday, and as they gave me a hard time about what a Hokie was, I asked them where the nearest Publix was. They said no more.
A Ranger blowing shit up at sundown on Fourth of July?
Gets my vote.
"For my money, his greatest accomplishment as Tech's AD was to secure the Hokies a spot in the Atlantic Coast Conference"
Not to diminish his accomplishments, and with all due respect, this is incorrect. I was in the VT Athletics suite area for a mtg the day the invite came, popped in to Jims office and asked his secretary, who I knew, what the heck is going on and the response was "if you know let us know because we have no idea what's going on".
Acc invite was WAY over Jims head.
My best friend in high school had a family house right on the bay in Matthews. Love that little place.
Happy 4th of July TKPers!
Packing up all my stuff for Summer Academy/Hokie Camp starting next week and moving in tomorrow! #cantwait
Family time in the Burg for me. Of course I've been wolfing down freedom all day long
Interesting, for c-stars in medical training we send our people to Baltimore. ...Because....well..Baltimore.
Happy 4th fellow TKP members,
I'll be spending a few hours at a friend's place and then meeting up with some other friends probably to catch a movie. Then I'll take my boys out to watch some fireworks in the evening...
Then I'll hold my Shepard/boxer all night..
Because she's terrified of fireworks.
I would have if I didn't have to work.
But to get off work on this holiday would mean having to work on Labor Day.....but Hokie football...
Good tip. Gotta make sure George Washington flies over your house in his F-14 to drop off your yearly supply of Liberty.
"It's 'I hope we never part,' get it right!"
Just another beautiful day in sunny Cincinnati. A nice cool front has come through, highs have been in the 70s. Some chicken will be sitting on a beer can on my grill while I sip from a few more. Also breaking out my 'Merica! shirt that my mother picked up on a trip to Alaska.
Happy America Day! Don't forget to put your bald eagle on top of your freedom tree!
Here on the Middle Peninsula, we're recovering from a ton of rain last night and really hoping that this evening will give us a respite from the rain for the Mathews fireworks show. Lot of big stuff in a really small town, and well worth the 4 minute drive to see them up close. My dogs are gonna be on their own, and since I won't be here to know whether they panic or not, I'll just assume it doesn't bother them in the least. Ha.
Happy 4th to all Hokies everywhere around the world, and Happy Birthday America!!!!
We're taking it easy at home today, avoiding the madness of the DC/Metro area that comes around this day every year. This morning was ugly, but if the rain holds off, we'll grill. No big plans, aside from keeping our dogs from going ballistic if things start exploding outside.
Woke up late after a long night watching the Grateful Dead's "Fare Thee Well" tour live from Chicago (via movie theater big screen). Gonna head to scenic Lake Murray and enjoy an afternoon of BBQ with some friends. More Dead tomorrow, continuing the couch tour.

# | If the Big XII dissolves and is absorbed into the remaining Power 4, who do you want? Yes VT did. And hasn't that guy been splashing the cash around?
Awesome memories, thanks! Can we at least start camp now. Can't wait to see us play the Bucknuts!
Laying some sod in the house we just built. Then we're gonna get in the pool, burn meat on a grill, drink way to many coors lights and blow shit up when the sun goes down! Happy Birthday America!!
anybody else going to the foo fighters concert today? I am
Not that it is anyone's fault but the flag in the background is backwards. Stars are always upper left corner I'd you hang it vertically.
