That is pretty awesome. As a big time soccer nerd I'm excited to see this. Welcome new Hokies!

There it is! I couldn't think of a good B. Well done.
Blacksburg, Origin Of Boom!!!
no no, they are two different things
Mud Pie
Mud Cake
always remember
haha... I thought that was NC State. Shows how drunk I was during the season last year.
That, and shows how bad NCSU is that I legitimately thought that was them.
I disagree with you on this. His sexual preference should in no way be considered "news". I applaud his courage and hope others eyes are opened because of it but should not be mainstream news. To be completely honest he shouldn't even have to "Come out" to his team. This is who he is and in my opinion is none of their damn business.

This is awesome, but in his defense TKP is by far the best place for free information on all Hokie Everything. Great quality articles like this one and good comments between the community here. Glad I found this place.
Plus, Austin Peay.
Origin Of Boom = OOB
I feel like we are missing something...
My mom and her mom and so on before you called it Mud Pie. That trumps the article. It's our culture and family history.
Facyson will be here 4 years. Wants to become a heart surgeon. He'll at least need to get his degree first. Hoping Fuller will stay, but by then the next Fuller should be ready to take his place anyway, right?
That might be the case if he was a more marginal player looking for some publicity or something.
The fact is this guy is pegged as a Day 2 talent, and was SEC Defensive player of the year. NFL teams know who he is. I am sure his purpose for going pro is to continue developing his football talents and make money. As mentioned, I doubt very much that being a gay player in today's NFL will be all that pleasant for him.
I dunno. I guess it's a matter of the viewers perception. I sure hope it won't. At any rate Robinson did it first.
Those could be interpreted as bra sizes for extremely skinny girls. This is a sexist comment and in very poor taste! Girls don't have to be super skinny for us men to worship them!
THIS ^^^^
so it is. I posted this from my phone so uh... that's my excuse. thanks!
While its not the same level as Robinson, I don't agree with you that people that feel that strongly about it are "stupid". Its amazing when you watch the civil rights struggles being had right now by homosexual people, that a lot of the arguments used against them are the same that were once used against minorities in this country. And now the only people that look "stupid" are the bigots.
And lets not even get into the fact that there are still a number of countries where you can be put to death for being gay. DEATH.
If this guy can successfully integrate into the NFL as an openly gay player, I think it would be a very big deal. I also wouldn't be that surprised if a lot of current players don't start coming out if that happens.
Yes, and it's Mississippi Mud Pie.
Maybe if he was using his new-found "celebrity" it would seem like it was taking away from the player. But he just announced it, did an interview, and that was it.
I don't think in any way, shape, or form him trying to prevent the spread of rumors is "taking away from the player".
I certainly don't think his reason for going pro is so he can be the first openly gay NFL player. I doubt very much it will be an enjoyable aspect of his career.
And I doubt any of his accomplishments will have an asterisk next to them saying "This man is homosexual."
So no, I don't think so. I think he just decided it was time for someone to finally open the path for other homosexual men to feel comfortable with being who they are in the NFL, and he was courageous enough to be that first person.
rhubarb is the 11 seed
Yeah, that dude was another fave of mine. Saw significat playing time on ST's (in my op should've gone to the pro bowl also).
First you chop the wood,
Then you lay the wood.
