Turkey leg to get you back to zero, don't think I had ever seen someone with negative turkey legs before this.
Hold up hold up hold up hol' tup.... He's a West-by-gawd Mountaineer?!?!
Horse exhaust has more uses than canine exhaust.
I read that wrong. It's sometime "the week of" Jan. 27, not Jan. 27. My bad.
I get that, but it has its limits.

A representative of an institutions athletics interests is anyone who:
Is now, or has previously been, a member of any organization promoting the institutions intercollegiate athletics program; or
Has made a financial contribution to the athletics program or an athletics booster organization; or
Has helped arrange any employment for a student-athlete; or
Has been involved, in any way, in the promotion of the athletics program.
I'm not a lawyer, but that last bullet still doesn't sound too threatening for the average Joe. I read that as generating some legitimate publicity, whether through advertising, reporting, or similar. I can't imagine the average Twitterer would be covered by that.
Disclaimer: I am in no way advocating the act of tweeting recruits. I am merely saying that I highly doubt that most occurrences are actually violations.
You did great in your time here in the Burg, coach! Thank you!
Now Beat Bama!
That's one major reason why it's an awful rule. But the NCAA defines a "booster" very broadly, basically anyone that acts to promote the interests of a university. You don't have to have a financial interest to be a booster.
Just in time for a big recruiting weekend. I trust that coach in Blacksburg to secure our OL recruits
In the same article it says few NFL alumni give to any schools. So it does not seem to be just a Tech problem.
Boosters, maybe. Fans, hell no. Otherwise, it would be very simple for me to pose as a Bama fan and do all sorts of nefarious deeds, such as talk to them on Twitter.

You miss the point, which is that the school is held responsible for the actions of its fans and boosters.
Please dont compare JJ's second year to Seth Greenberg's 9th. It is unwise and unfair
Edited because it was mean and a rant.
Why the hell is it listed under baseball? Is it because Football season is over, and basketball is too embarrassing?
Hotel booked. Now I just need tickets

How I know something big is going down in Hokie-land
May he lead VT Athletics to glory.
Not quite. None of the polls voted us #1 at the end of the year. GT did receive that honor from the Coaches' Poll.
Same thing happened to Miami (Coaches') and Washington (AP) the following season.
The tiger totally has a name! ... it's Eight Ball. Eight Ball the Tiger.
I pretty sure he uses twitter. Maybe we can tweet him some ideas/links?
Edit: Found it. @WhitBabcock
Always nice for things to be made official. Here's the HokieSports.com write-up

also a video introduction on the www.hokiesports.com main page.
In the other thread I linked above, someone had linked to a story where any NCAA compliance official had said that tweeting a recruit was unequivocally a violation in their eyes. You're right, it's a hell of a stretch, but when the governing body says that's how it views the rules, it's pretty much open and shut.
