I don't hate anyone or any team, even in the sports sense

Allow me to introduce you to the University of Virginia. They are worth expending the emotion.

Remember, hate (for UVA) keeps you warm.

You do realize that the original "Jackass movies" were The Three Stooges right? It's a form of slapstick comedy that is taken to an entirely different level from before, but that's what makes it current and different from the past. Sure, it's more extreme and ridiculous, but the nature of the beast originates from timeless classics that transcend time and adapt with what's popular with society.

I am happy to see Sean getting some love. He was a competent QB that fought an uphill battle against his own QB coach's ineptness and his OLs lack of skill and attitude towards him.

I appreciate his contributions. I hope he can make strides in his broadcasting career.

I don't necessarily disagree, but I think there is subtlety to the argument that everyone is trying to bring out. I have a hierarchy of sorts that I use when describing "good" music:

1. Do I like it?
2. Is the artist talented?
3. Is the song well composed?

If all 3, I call it good music. For example, I might "like" a song I hear at a party, in a bar/club, whatever, because it's fun in that setting, but it's not something I would listen to recreationally. That doesn't mean the song is crap, in my mind. It's just contextual.

Side note: what is "Jackass genre?" I have never in my life heard that term.

My position is as unpopular as it may be, something can be entertaining and still crap. The whole Jackass genre? I listen to modern top music doesn't mean I think the artist behind it is talented.

The color being "off" goes to the heart of that whole dicussion we had about VT logo. I think Alum had a lot to say about this.

Was at the game last night and can confirm the orange is a bit off. Also they didnt have any out and when I asked the lady came out of the back with 3 of them and said thats all they had left. I can't imagine that they didnt hold back a bunch of inventory for tonight, but there might not be many left.

Since I'm lazy too can you go ahead and copy & paste all the best rebuttals to your position? I'd be particularly interested in any that point out the traveling MASH unit that was our team last year, and maybe mentions the clown show that was our Oline coaching for far too long but, ahem, was corrected very recently.

I won't go so far as calling all music "perfect," but I have come to realize that there is value in just about everything out there.

I used to be a music snob, no other way to put it. During high school, I was the kid listening to Hendrix, Zeppelin, Beatles, Rolling Stones, etc. on my dad's vinyl. I still think that's the best stuff I've ever heard, but I'm not inclined to call everything else crap like I used to. I looked down my nose at most pop and whatever it was they played on MTV (back when they played music in the late '90s/early '00s). I have come to realize that the value of music is found in whether or not it elicits an emotional response in the audience. Personally, Bieber is junk to my ears, but I can appreciate the fact that he has been extremely successful in producing pop music that his audience enjoys. It brings happiness to people. So in that, I can appreciate it. Kid's got a pretty good voice, if only he used it to sing better songs :)

During the spring, the offense used five different speeds โ€” slow to hyper fast

In response to whom the Hokies should familiarize themselves with on Purdue's team.....

The starting quarterback โ€” Appleby or Blough

ummm....whoever the QB is and a lineman. That made me laugh.
