"Started from the bottom now we here"
Live is still on my playlists to this day. I saw them live at Burruss in the early '00s; they put on a hell of a show.

# | Bitter blog - BOV approves financing plan for indoor practice facility Weaver's comfort zone was to cut costs to preserve profits. Whit's appears to be to spend money to drive revenue and increase profits.
Whit is able to do what's he doing because the athletic department isn't in massive debt like hundreds of other programs in the country. I get that you're pissed at Weaver but he did keep us in the black from year to year.

It was too cold and they literally "just couldn't". White girl problems...

Bring Stick It In Back
Personally, I'd rather have Thompson not change his mind. I don't want a Dwight Howard situation. If you don't want to be here, don't stay. I have no ill will towards this kid and it sounds like there are other high-major programs that want him so it's a win-win...in all honestly, I think Buzz could recruit a guy with a higher ceiling with his schollie anyways.
Right Said Fred's "Im Too Sexy ... come on, guys
Considering his role is as a consultant, it's an as needed role. You're trying to walk the line between figurative and literal language by using words like "effective" and "basically." Strictly speaking, he is employed by the Athletics department. Thus he is being paid for a job. The parameters of what is expected are not my concern though. You may not think that the value of what he does right now is worth what he is getting paid, but there is something to be said for the value of his knowledge and experience.
UVa Logic: "We're better at making snow angels than hokies, therefore we have the better sports progarm"
UVa football players moments after Virginia Tech walked up to spring practice and punched them right in the neck.
Sorry, you're right, I thought I had said "effectively". I still feel my "basically" qualifier applies and that you're being a little semantic here.
We agree that Jim Weaver wasn't actually "bought out." He was given a majority percentage of his contract to no longer do his job. Can we agree on this?
Our interpretations of what this "means" can be left to our own devices and what we've heard. Everything I've heard on the subject is that the percentage of his contract for meaningless "consulting services" was an incentive for him to retire early so we could get a new AD in and actually start AD-ing in the 21st century.
And what "capacity" would you say he's currently working in right now? Be honest.
He was given the majority of his contract to retire before the contracts end. That's an "incentive to retire early" and an "effective buyout." Effective being the operative word here. At no point did I actually suggest that VT bought out Jim Weaver's Contract.
Directly copying and pasting your words...
He was basically bought out.
I never said he was bought out, I know what a buy out is. I said he was "given an incentive to retire early." This is exactly what happened.
Hmm...
Squirrel Nut Zippers - Hell
Considering that most ACC schools do charge admission for baseball, I don't see a problem with what you're saying.
I'd tier it though. $5 if you want a seat, less if you just want to sit out on the hill like lots of folks do.
Fake Plastic Trees is just a fantastic album start to finish.
This guy does fit the type of player that Buzz said he wants. Someone who is versatile can pull a rebound down and get it up the court and run different positions given the situation
Everyone always brings up Outshined, but Jesus Christ Pose is my favorite song on that album. Nice to see it get some love.
Ladies and gentlemen, this is why you never go full Wahoo.
Never go full Wahoo.
Unfortunately for them we will never go away.
