this gives me the sads.....I left my ring at some girls a year after I graduated and could never get it back. It was a weird story the way it all ended bu hopefully one day someone has the decency to get it back to me wherever it is.

Anyhow, they didn't offer hokie stone for my class (02) but I got my birth stone (peridot) with a VT engraved in it. Cool thing about it is that in blacklight (when I was at bars and clubs during that time) the peridot glowed in the blacklight and the VT stood out. I still have my battle-ring (the sliver one) but wish I could get my gold one back.

These both made me sad...

Don't know where he's from but all seem to be relatively close so assuming staying close to home is important to him. Of course in my non-recruit mind the only competition I see is from PSU but that's me with my orange and maroon glasses on.

UNC seems to always have a decent team in the pre-season rankings and always seem to underwhelm as well. I can totally see them losing games they probably shouldn't and knocking them out of the ACCCG contention fairly early. I don't know their slate in the atlantic this year but I see them dropping one or two games that no one expects them to.

I do expect us to beat them (as usual) however it has seemed that we always dominate them for a while and then let them creep back into the game to keep it just interesting enough. We'll see how the year pans out but we do have them at home in November. Even though Raleigh isn't too far from Blacksburg it's not in the mountains. Blacksburg is a lot colder than Raleigh. Off the cuff I think this one is another in our scheme against them of we take a lead but don't close them out. It will be close enough to keep it a game the whole time but maybe a late field goal puts it out of reach late in the fourth (and all this without seeing either team play yet, ha). Of course I hope I'm wrong and we're starting our back-ups mid-third qtr due to prolific offense and a dominate defense.

Hey, if you pay money as a student and take classes one way or another get a class ring! The only thing I would say is if you are taking it as distance learning graduate you must make a pilgrimage to Blacksburg, attend a football game, go downtown at least once, and hike up the cascades. Then you can wear it with pride. I love my rings so glad I got them, my father was a Hokie and my grandfather was a Hokie and they have their rings.

I'm wondering if he's anxious about test scores and admission.
In that case, he leaves himself in a good position to say that he still got one of his top schools.

Could be he really likes ODU too. Lots of advantages to staying close to home.

Sorry to revive an old thread.

Does anyone know how common it is to get a class ring as a VT graduate student? How about as a distance learning graduate?

I do, most of the time that I'm shopping somewhere that has self checkouts, my cart is too full to not have to pull bags off the scale before I'm done. Also I would argue that while they might theoretically save you some time, in practice it takes longer since you can't do all the things you would normally do while the cashier is checking out your items, like getting your payment ready putting full bags in your cart, and browsing the overpriced impulse candy.

"The online MBA you probably can't get in to."

They won't even LET you attend class! You probably don't even need to log in either.

Devil's Advocate:
Our run of having a great secondary started before TG was the coach.

Not sure how we can criticize an article that points out that we'll have had the Cup for 4,015 straight days.

That's cool, but was the explanation really necessary?
