I agree that this joke never gets old...but a limo is a bit generous..I'm pretty sure a Smart could achieve the same task
Looking for a good time? Want to do the town in a ride with a fully stocked Zima bar? Like the taste of zebra urine? If you answered yes to all three, then call Wahoo Limo at 800-WHY-YOUU
This joke never gets old
Wahoo Limo: A vehicle that can transport the entire crowd from UVA's Spring Game!
live by the three die by the three. it doesnt typically work over course of a season. sure you'll beat heavy hitters like duke every once in a while cuz you're hot. but then you'll get cold for just one game and a tourney run is all over

# | Bitter blog - ESPN's Kiper: If QB doesn't work out, Logan Thomas could be a TE down the line Agree. His athletic potential is going to get him drafted. He is going to get a shot at QB most likely and then the Tebow line, are you willing to try something else if it doesn't work. The question is he enough smarter than Tebow to answer YES!

That was Dr. Horrible (he's got a PhD in horribleness!) receiving a call from Badhorse (The Thoroughbred of Sin, he rules The Evil League of Evil with an iron hoof) regarding his application to join The Evil League of Evil.

# | Bitter blog - ESPN's Kiper: If QB doesn't work out, Logan Thomas could be a TE down the line Agree. Not disrespectful or rude. Just factual, he can play either position. Also good business sense when you will sign hundreds if not millions of dollars to him to ask about.
Seriously? Shit, I thought he was just some dude... I hate the NBA so I guess that's why I don't know.
Let's continue your girlfriend analogy, but let's say you signed a lease with this girl (stupid move, but I digress). In this analogy, stressful/awkward situations = money lost by athletics. You can:
- Dump her now, continue the lease, and find a new girlfriend - not going to be easy, who wants to sleep with someone who lives with their ex? (Fire JJ, keep paying him, hire a new coach)
- Wait until the end of the lease to reevaluate her, and if necessary dump her (Wait until JJ's contract is up)
- Dump her now, end the lease now, find a new GF who's awesome and will let you live with her (Fire JJ now and hire Coach K at a reduced rate)
#3's not happening, sorry.
#2 isn't ideal, but it's the easiest way to get out alive (less spending).
#1 leaves a lot of room for a horrible life (lots of spending)
Why not just suck it up and reevaluate later?
Analogies aside, don't forget that any new coach is going to have to rebuild too. If next year is going suck no matter what, then why not save money in the mean time, so you have more to spend later?
Isn't it going to be tougher to build a better culture if the program continues to dwell at the bottom of the conference?
I think we're so low that we can't go much lower. I believe that one more bad year will hurt us less in the long term than losing a half million and having a mediocre year.
Guy owns the Kings (and currently running them into the ground). Pass.
That was awesome, I hate him he's such a whiny baby. But that wasn't started by the Cassell Guard I don't think because of Hokies Respect. Same with Who's Your Daddy at Seth Curry last year which I started. The best cheers that the student section leaders at other schools would start you have to start at the upper levels because of Hokies Respect. The OKState game also brings up student section location, there were a ton of students at that game *cough*me*cough* that had to sit on the other side. It would have been so much louder all game if everyone was in the student section.
Firstly I think you have to keep JJ for one more year for all the reasons that have been listed. Many coaches don't have success at first and our instant-gratification culture is what's calling for his head more than reason is. If there's considerable improvement next year with his second recruiting class then maybe he's the guy who can bring this team somewhere. I mean, the best player this year was Wilson, JJ's recruit. There's definitely promise with the young guys and a decent recruiting class.
If he doesn't improve then, and I posted this on the other thread about hoops culture, maybe Dave Smart is our guy. He's the coach at Carleton University in Canada and they've won like 14 of the past 15 national championships. There's no scholarship players and he's a coach in the mold of Bob Knight. He says he'd seriously consider moving to the NCAA for 4 years $500,000 a year which is a lot more than JJ is getting. But this is one of two revenue sports. This is where you're going to pay the big bucks. It's only a matter of time before he becomes an NCAA coach, why not VT?

# | Bitter blog - ESPN's Kiper: If QB doesn't work out, Logan Thomas could be a TE down the line I don't see how it is disrespectful. And I don't get why so many Hokie faithful are hellbent on Logan being QB in the NFL. What if he is 10-year probowl TE? Is that really bad? Antwaan Randle El, Ronald Curry, Randall Cobb, Julian Edelman, Josh Cribbs, and Brian Mitchell is some pretty good company.
It's a simple fact, if Logan is going to succeed as an NFL level QB, he'll need to get his pass percentage up about 10% and his TD/INT ratio up a point. Maybe he'll do that. Maybe not. And if he doesn't, what's the harm switching positions?
Penny Hardaway has been coaching a middle school team in Memphis and they win city championships. That's almost all fundamentals at that level.
What in tarnation was that?
Serendipity!... with the finest irony!
Who is this girl, Sere Nipidy?
She's a laundress you say?
Sounds exotic and friendly.
It was and indictement on the way McShey presented it as unfitting a professional while acknowledging the underlying truth of the statement.
IIRC 2 were tips, one was where the WR quit on the route on what would have been a decent pass and one was an outright poor choice.
LT owns 1 of 4 on that day.
"I learned something that day; never judge a book by its cover. This cat could ball, man...."
"If you're ready and willing to make a change, don't you do it when you have everything aligned to succeed? Build a better culture, you get a better coach. "
Isn't it going to be tougher to build a better culture if the program continues to dwell at the bottom of the conference? I don't buy this line of thought. If JJ isn't the guy then keeping him around is like keeping around a girlfriend who you don't want to be with any longer because you don't want to be single and don't have a hotter replacement lined up. That generally ends poorly.
Entitlement isn't earned. Daddy buys it! Wahoo Limo, only $7500 for a trip on 250
