Dannngggggg that's a mighty big hole. Hope everyone there is OK.

Great read! I know we won't have the next Coach K coming to Tech, but out of all of the coaches listed, who has the best fit/ could create the best turn around?
Is it sad that all thats going through my head is "I REALLY hope the residents had insurance"...

I agree with you completely that he is highly unlikely. I included him and the other premium guys on the list because they were brought up by multiple people on the other thread. Just giving people more info to work with. Shaka may not even leave for one of those jobs unless he can recreate the VCU magic run around the time one of those jobs is opening up. The darling tag only lasts for so long before people want you to prove it again
I think that happened 3 years ago. I remember a friend bitching about how there was crap everywhere from them doing work on the exterior.
Well obviously not, but it allows Coach Fondue to paint a picture for them to buy into. It all plays into his 30 for 30 pitch. Also, who said he won't be there? They haven't gotten rid of him yet and I'm not sure if anyone could actually do a WORSE job of coaching than he has.
Yeah it was. I remember I came back from break one time and our building had changed colors, and I had no idea what had happened.
They used to be. They put up new siding on all the buildings. I thought it was a big improvement
It looks completely different from when i was there.. did they put new siding up? I thought they used to be brown
Because grilled foods are delicious and should be prepared no matter the temperature.
Ah Foxridge. You'll always hold a special place in my heart. Good thing my old apartment was on the 1st floor and the fire looked to be on the 3rd. I hope everyone involved got out safe
Crazy! Saw this on a friend's Facebook. It's rumored it came from someone grilling. Which brings up the question, why are you grilling when it's in the 20's?
Upvoted for non-ironic use of "smanging."
PS: I hate that song. lol

Seems like Notre Dame is no longer in the mix.
247Sports reporting Isaiah McKenzie won't visit Notre Dame this weekend and has eliminated the Irish. That bodes well for Ole Miss— John Talty (@JTalty) January 30, 2014
It's the old pushing subscriptions game.
lol...yes it should..I was wondering how long it would take for someone to mention that..of all things..
I'm sure my sentence structure has fallacies as well. My point was to try fixing the really simple things like 'alot', 'here here', and your vs you're . I realize I painted a huge target on my back but it's for the benefit of the community. I'll take the downvotes and critiques as they come.
Shaka can be stricken off this list in my opinion. I understand why his name comes up all the time, but there's no way we'd have the money for him. Regardless, Tech is a step down for him from VCU anyways. I don't see him as the type of coach to want a "project" and turn teams around. It's Duke/UNC/Kansas/etc. or bust for him.
Shouldn't the opening sentence start with a capital letter?
Thanks for the write up and detail Joe, and I also think that this is a good hire. Not to be an age-ist but College Athletics is a fast moving machine. I think that we have only seen the beginning in terms of changes and that the future will only bring more...potential dissolution of the NCAA?...more realignment? playoff expansion? paying players? player unions? I am more comfortable with someone that is nimble, and shrewd, and with a mind for whats happening 5 years from now, not 5 months. Hopefully Whit is up to the task and ready to move Hokienation forward.
I just can't wait to go into work the next day and hear all the Michigan fans crying foul and claiming we cheated to beat their CFB single game attendance record.


Roanoke Times reporting that a dozen apartments are affected, 20-30 people displaced, but thankfully no injuries.
