Idk, "SIT DOWN! YOU SUCK!" is pretty close too.
At least they're still half-drunk college students who are behaving like half-drunk college students, not a 50yo guy trash talking a kid less than half his age.
Unfortunately unless he is absolutely in love with Virginia Tech, there is no way I see this kid coming to Tech. He is going to be pursued by every major program in the country. Even if he wasn't as talented as he is, he still probably would have garnered Top 25 programs offers just based on his height and wing span. As of right now, ESPN does not show him with an offer from VT, although he does have one from UVA.

247 already has him on the interest list for most of the top programs:

Surprised he is not their Number 1 kid of the 2016 class, will be looking to see who they have in front of him.
Rivals does list him as having an offer from Tech:

He is all over the Duke fan forum message boards as their top target for 2016. If that's really the case, then Tech has a tough road to recruiting this kid.
I can't imagine that Orr said anything other than a racial slur- I highly doubt Smart would have had the reaction had he said something else. You can clearly read Smart's lips as he is walking away saying "Don't you call me a n*****"
Just leave it as the Redskins....geez...
Clearly Congress has nothing better to do than get involved in a private industry.
It was a combination of both. Our D did play better than normal, but they also had a couple guys that took Jarrell Eddie's disease for the day, unfortunately they gave it back to him in Overtime. OT was a complete fail.

# | First Junior Day for the Class of 2015 in Blacksburg UPDATES AND OPEN THREAD They should also drive by the Bristol Motor Speedway before they head home. I saw a huge sign posted on the side of the stadium for this game already.
#AllMaroonEverything vs. #AllThrow-upOrangeEverything
If Fuller and Facyson stay that long....
Beyer did have four rebounds in three minutes of play in this game but also had an opportunity to put the ball right back in the basket on two of those rebounds, one he missed badly, the other he put the ball on the floor and ended up losing the basketball when he tried to go back up with a shot.
What a waste of time. My Elementary School had to change our name too, we were called the "Indians" and apparently that was offensive. What a joke. Let's focus on important issues in Washington, like not having a $19 trillion debt.
I don't think this has enough traction to pass the senate or house and the committee that these folks are on definitely doesn't have the power to retract the NFL's tax-exempt status. Sure they could pass a memo stating their support against this but that has the power of the paper its written on. The ten members mentioned in the article also "really" got involved, basically sending that one message as a group but with no follow up since.
Not usually a fan of most of the Redskins rebuttals as they usually stick their foot in their mouth, but this one is spot on in both regards.
Redskins spokesman Tony Wyllie said in a statement, "With all the important issues Congress has to deal with such as a war in Afghanistan to deficits to health care, don't they have more important issues to worry about than a football team's name? And given the fact that the name of Oklahoma means 'Red People' in Choctaw, this request is a little ironic."
You are not being a pest. PLEASE keep us updated. :)

# | Who is your FAVORITE Hokie Defensive player of all time and why? Corey Moore hands down. For being smaller than some linebackers, he was a monster coming around the end, taking out lineman, running backs, and quarterbacks play after play.
Not a single Jason worilds vote on here? The dude played with a dislocated shoulder an entire season and was still a monster!!!
However my vote has to go to kyle Fuller. The fact that his entire family is awesome coupled with the fact that he was absolutely a lockdown corner (and he high fives refs) and is still the best tackler on our team in the last 4 years makes him edge hall/adibi in my books...macho is up there too simply cuz he played offense too and stayed a year we desperately needed him and didn't seem to be looking to impressive coming into the season. Hr was a champ that year too
Corey Moore, Keion Carpenter, and Anthony Midget.
Engleberger is my favorite walk-on star of all time.
Not to quibble, but I feel compelled to comment that, according to no less an authority than Augustus Fink-Nottle, true education is a drawing out, not a putting in.
I have a bad feeling a cow on a treadmill would just fall off. Here's to hoping that duck grows up into the world first real hokie bird.
Flowers, Kyle Fuller
The players won't care, the owners and GM's wouldn't care from a football point. But the media will care, just like with Tim Tebow they'll shove this story down our throats until we're tired of it and tired of the player.
Be careful, that color orange will make you sick.
I do have to say about our fellow Hokie fans that we weren't very nice to Marcus Smart last year when he was in Blacksburg. Chanting "You're a pussy" is pretty bad too, it's just that nobody was right next to him to get shoved. For the most part we're pretty classy, but that was one of the low points to me.
I saw a video posted from a commenter on E$ecPN that showed the tape from the cameraman who fell over and you heard the guy say "you piece of..." I don't think it warrants a shove from Smart, but I still highly disapprove of a fan talking trash. Especially one that is over the age of 25. I hope all VT fans act like everyone on TKP and show hokierespect and don't do anything like this.
Sorry I don't have the link to the video, my work internet loves to block everything (except TKP thankfully). Maybe someone else can find and post?
He has the size - 6'2" 260lbs. I think that is what they are looking for in the pros. Vdot was only 5'11" at best- I was taller than he was when I would stand next to him.
