.....Damn.....
I knew his health was bad, but I had absolutely no idea it was that bad. This sucks.
RIP, Jim. You left things better than you found them, especially VT.

# | If the Big XII dissolves and is absorbed into the remaining Power 4, who do you want? They're also a rising star in basketball. Really good all-around package.
We owe that man a lot.
May he be remembered for all that he did to further Virginia Tech Athletics. He kept us running in the black. He furthered our athletic facilities with the new football locker room and the Hahn-Hurst Basketball Facility. He led the remodel of Lane Stadium. He handled the concept of the new indoor practice facility. Weaver led us into the ACC. He served us well and his legacy will live on.
RIP Jim
Wow, I knew he retired for health reasons, but that was a quick decline. RIP Weaver.
And even if you do make it disappear, a significant portion will be unhappy
And if you reboot the uniforms to the 1999 'classics', a portion will be unhappy
And if you overhaul the uniforms to something edgy and fresh, a portion will be unhappy
And if you stay the same a significant portion will be unhappy
You can never please everyone.

# | If the Big XII dissolves and is absorbed into the remaining Power 4, who do you want? And its worth noting that all the speculation of the ACC being picked apart came from a WVU blogger who had every incentive in the world to hope for the ACC's disintegration because at that point, WVU was left on the outside looking in, having been rejected by everyone around them, namely the ACC.
I was making a joke about your username. Welcome to the boards.
People were always talking about how he kept ripping through his XXL or XXXL gloves, I can't remember exactly but I would equate his hand size to be proportionately sized for Bucky's height.

# | If the Big XII dissolves and is absorbed into the remaining Power 4, who do you want? This is an interesting article from Crimson and Cream Machine (OU's SB Nation blog) suggesting that if the Big XII broke up you could see Oklahoma going to the SEC and the SEC adding VT to fill up a 16 member conference. Tech going to the SEC predictions and rumors isn't news but it's interesting to see OU fans thinking it.

Actually what he lacks is most of the best attributes of those guys.
He's nonetheless an excellent receiver.
How big are Boykin's hands anyway? Also, how do his gloves hold up over the course of a game?
Isaiah?
CFB is looking old. He doesn't seem to have the same energy during that interview. Like it is taking him some time to formulate his answers.
I felt like Germany's keeper was a lot like Tim Howard from the Men's team game last year. She seemed to be yelling at her teammates and being fairly POd most of the time, which is understandable considering how dominating USA was during the first half. That keeper was having to play her ass off and got lucky with a couple terrible shots on goal.

# | If the Big XII dissolves and is absorbed into the remaining Power 4, who do you want? I think going from Independent to the AAC is a downgrade for them. They will join the ACC so they can have the ability to clinch a playoff spot

# | If the Big XII dissolves and is absorbed into the remaining Power 4, who do you want? Baylor has too much upside to be left out in the dust. It would make for crazy geography but I'd be down to add Baylor (rising superstar in football, great academics, large endowment, ACC would strike gold for media-market expansion) and Cincinnati.

# | Bitter blog - Wednesday reset: Indoor facility graphics and Battle at Bristol tickets Next phase of construction is apparently a big upgrade to Rector, so they'll likely be getting their own stuff soon
Rewatch the TD catch against ECU. He's got an exceptional knack for finding the football that can't be taught. Speed and route running can still be improved with three years ahead of him.
Condolences to the Weaver family. He did so much for VT.
I have personally been critical of some of his decisions, and I've poked a bit (OK, a lot) of fun at his expense, but I have always, and will always, respect what Jim Weaver did for Virginia Tech. Thank you, Jim. Rest in peace.
