well the new doc mcstuffins have been pretty good. . . i'm kidding, i'm right in the same boat as you bro. my little one prefers the sprout channel and her favorite show is caillou. i know its just a cartoon character but i swear i will punch that kid right in his whiny little mouth.
So all those discussions about Nick Saban to Texas, Peterson to Washington, and all the other CFB relevant but not VT relevant threads should never have happened?
Shit is right...thanks for your update as always!
Damnit Canada, WHY DO WE LET YOU BE A COUNTRY?!
I don't think Hughes is a very good example of how it shouldn't be done. He more than bought into the VT culture and resurrected our baseball program, and left for a better program at Oklahoma (who has big boy money to spend on athletics). I feel like a lot of VT fans expect coaches to commit and stay around as long as Coach Beamer has, when in today's world that isn't a reality. VT basketball isn't any of these candidates dream job, it is merely an opportunity to establish themselves by resurrecting a bad team in a great conference. While one day I hope that it becomes a job that is envied by basketball coaches. At this point in our basketball program we do not have the prestige or the history to keep an established basketball coach around long term. I believe this hire is a stepping stone to bigger and better things for our basketball program.
Given that he tore his labrum, he's going to be held out for a while. I don't remember when he had his surgery, but they hold you out of contact work for up to a year when you're playing competitively. I can't find it, but they showed him doing rehab on a youtube video in early March (I think it was posted on TKP somewhere, along with RVD and Shai). He's doing push ups and has a lot of motion back, but he still has a bit to go.
Something I learned about Cliff Ellis today in doing his profile. His first round game in the NCAA Tournament will be his 1000th game as a head coach. His team pulling the upset of LOLUVA would be a great way to celebrate that milestone.
Exactly. They don't have football. They say it's not a problem, but they take it very personally.
Ya see, the great thing about this joke is that it's so versatile. It can be applied to limos, Olympic sports, just about anything related to bashing UVA and tying it back to their football mediocrity/ineptitude.
OK, so if you are going to do this and make it VT relevant then you could choose to prioritize who we play next year as a priority rather than just in chronological order. Your choice, of course.
Hey now! UVA has more women's tennis national championships than fans at their spring game
Actually, I think the concept is pretty neat. I've always wished the media would do something of a reflection of where a team was to start the season, where they(ESPN or whoever) thought the team would end up (UFl and UGa), and where they wound up.
Shoot, pretty sure Carter could actually break his leg and still win.
My understanding on Pete Hughes was that it wouldn't have mattered if Weaver had matched the offer, Oklahoma was a dream job for Hughes and he was going to take it. If that's the case, than losing him isn't on Weaver. I agree however with your sentiment about how coaches in general were treated by the administration regarding salaries over the years. We ran a frugal, slightly profitable business. If Whit is able to generate enough donations to support the basketball hire being above what we currently expect to be able to afford, it probably pays for itself in the next few years as basketball revenue increases due to us being competitive again. Still a business run in the black, but one being proactive to remain a major force in college sports rather than diminishing returns eventually returning us to athletic anonymity. This hire essentially could go a long way from us ever becoming Maryland, where they just cut seven varsity sports.
Flashback to my childhood (I'm showing my age), turkey leg for you!
I think this is honestly pretty cool. I'm not gonna lie that my CFB knowledge is at least 95% limited to VT, so this helps
Just so long as that nickname doesn't have any literal implications, I'm cool with it.
Well, there isn't a whole lot of football being played, so I'm working with what I've got. The goal is to give us a good foundation for the start of the season (who's good, bad, trending up, trending down, potential to be darkhorses in the CFP race, etc.) and then go from there. If there's anyone like me (a bit of a stretch, but I'm optimistic) who spends all offseason looking for exciting games they haven't watched yet, this might be a good way for me to share some of those experiences.
Thanks, I appreciate that. And like I said, it really is an addiction. If I get to sit and watch college football all day, I'm one happy human.
OK, I didn't mean anything by it, and I do appreciate the passion. Its just that its the past, this past year was Hokie Nation painful, and Spring is about, so I would just do something else.
In War Memorial you gotta Win by two.
You know someone is truly passionate when they're doing it just for poops and hahas. Thank you for putting in this much time to give us a look at the college football landscape.
Saw him on campus a few minutes ago and he is freaking huge

As long as you can use a number, you can claim that it is more than the fans at a UVA spring game.
I have -5 dollars; but at least I have more money than UVA has fans at a spring game.
