You can argue that it's a 90s song, though. It was re-recorded in 1992 and was a hit single in 1993.
I hope it wasn't. Thompson & dad have made it clear their focus is too self-centered to work on a team of Buzz's. If Thompson is using a cell phone incident as fodder to run to the press, just wait until Buzz unleashes Boot Camp & regular practices. It will make Thompson scurry away as fast as someone can escort him.
What is best is for those not interested in making the sacrifice to leave, and for us to not obsess over their loss. Life goes on...
Yeah, I don't necessarily disagree, but technically, 'Hey Jealousy' was released in '89 so it didn't make the cut.
Apologies if any of these have already been listed, BUT
Friends in Low Places - Garth Brooks
Reckless - Alabama
Welcome to Paradise - Green Day

I was sad to have to miss this, but I have the flu and didn't want to get everyone sick. I watched it online, and I fell even more in love with this hire the more he spoke. It was amazing to watch Buzz lead the "LET'S GO!!! HOKIES!!!" chant, and to watch the huge grin appear on his face when he got a massive crowd response gave me chills. To hear our program described as a "sleeping giant" pretty much lets us know where Buzz thinks he can eventually get us, and I think it reaffirms what many of the members of this website tend to think: we have the best fans, a great place to live/study, great recruiting grounds, and a winning spirit as a university.
'Hey Jealousy' > 'Follow You Down' any day.
Yes, he was... bizarro
He watched Buzz' opening comments, left when reporters questions for Buzz started
You're right, every bit helps. Like Clemson's IPTAY club, which started decades ago with the motto - 'I Pay Ten A Year' and has now graduated into higher sums of course.
I started in the Hokie Club when i was a senior at Tech. I got my tax refund back and paid $100 to be in the Hokie Club. That was three decades ago, and I was able to buy season tickets for football and basketball by setting money aside each month. My football seats were on the 35-yard line, west side 'with the big money people', ha ha. All with an O&M Hokie Club contribution. Like I said, it was a long time ago.
To those who don't belong, I'd give this advice - Join the Hokie Club. You don't have to start out as a Golden Hokie or whatever. Use the same strategy as with your 401K, start out with an amount you can afford, then move it up when you can. We have an AD who has proven he will invest in the program to get a positive return. That has not been the case in the past, but it is now. So I would encourage everyone to invest in the program to see the positive return on the field, court, diamond, track, gym, etc. Also, like Whit says, because it helps mold young people into productive man & women. More Hokies that we can hold in esteem.
Of all the hires made in the next decade, the most important and impacting hire was Whit Babcock.
Needs more DMX
Me right now..
I just joined Hokie Club for the first time. I was a student during the MV1 era. It's an exciting time.
SUNDAY MORNING! Great call, how'd I forget that one?
Californication the album came out in 1999, so it does indeed count!
I made a list! Mom, I TOLD YOU I was gonna be important one day. Mission...ACCOMPLISHED.
When I graduated I said I'd only ever donate to the College of Engineering unless I was filthy rich. I was wrong - after seeing the direction Whit is taking athletics I decided to hold up my end of the bargain and donate to both CoE and join Hokie Club. Just a minimum donation member right now but every little bit helps.
I wouldn't worry about it.
Buzz strikes me as the kind of guy who won't accept mediocrity over the long haul. He knows there's a long road to go, but the eventual goal is to have this program humming at the level he did with Marquette. Our goal is to win titles. We want that ACC crown and we want to contend for the NCAA. Buzz seems to have a bit of an ego, which is a good thing for a coach.
hell, if he reinstates Stick it in, I'll put the fathead above my bed.
this.
I am lazy and this is awesome. Have most of this but i dig the organization.
A lot that I had have been listed, but let's see...
Lou Bega - Mambo No. 5
Chumbawamba - Tubthumping
If he reinstates "stick it in" I'll get a fathead of Whit and put it up in my apartment
Yeah, I don't really know either. Been a while since I've read the Times on a regular basis.
No Radiohead?
Hate to be negative nancy after all this...are there legitimate performance clauses in these $18 mil contracts?
Edit: because he's cleared all the hurdles so far; I've just got the "pit of my stomachs" concerning all these power moves and what's going to end up on the court.
I feel like, with Whit in charge, this won't be the only event like this.
