Family stories can be really interesting.
Sounds like yer Grandma was quite the woman.
Whattayatalkinabout?
Hosely is second on the depth chart at Punt Return and CB on a team that hasn't been hit by the injury bug.
He's played 23 games the past 2 seasons and started 7. That's not too bad for a second year guy that left college early.
The south starts at about Fredericksburg and about 20 miles west of Norfolk, VA. North of Fredericksburg has turned into New York via D.C. Virginia Beach and Norfolk have too many transplants to be The South with some exceptions.
Parts of Richmond suburbs are a little too much like D.C. To be Richmond-like any longer but downtown and anywhere on the water definitely are. The old neighborhoods definitely still South.
One of NASCAR s best tracks is there. It must be the south.
Any place that has high end apartments and condos made from old tobacco warehouses with elevated freight railroad tracks running past is definitely The South.

# | Bitter blog - Jefferson bound for Temple, plus a look at the Hokies in the NFL Draft I've never seen the point of a pre-season mock draft either. They're about as useful as pre-season polls.
Still counts.
Somebody posted this numerous times and I feel it echoes just as much here. "Because FUCK KLEMPSUN."
Yup- someone should have ear-holed him.
He also better not beat our Hokies ever again.
That's the h20 they use for their pool. Plus zima.
As a long time Richmond resident, I can confirm that we are still a Southern city...barely. Can't spit without hitting a transplanted yankee down here, but we are doing our best to teach them how to say "y'all" and eat BBQ and drink sweet tea with all meals. Looking forward to retiring somewhere south of Charlotte one day.
What Dabo has proven is that he is a great salesman, an adept motivator, and has done a fantastic job assembling a strong staff. They were rudderless without the dynamic offense Chad Morris brought to the table, and were held back by Kevin Steele (remember the Cousins' 70-point whipping in the 2012 Orange Bowl?) until Venables came into town. But what if one or both leaves? Is Dabo really that strong of a coach? Sure you could make the argument that half (if not more) of a HC's success is tied to the abilities of his assistants, but when we think Alabama football or the New England Patriots, we think of Saban and Bellichek - the assistants that surround them have been a mixed bag on their own, lending credence to the head coaches' supreme talents and less reliance on the assistants.
One could make the same argument of Frank Beamer/Foster. Saban's former assistants have done well for themselves (Muschamp, Jimbo, Dantonio).
Team JJ. As a senior post guy, Raines could have (and in my view should have) been the leader on the team. Whining publicly about missing your old coach is about as far from leadership and responsibility as it gets.
Give JJ, who I'm reasonably certain was not involved in firing his old boss, his chance. Raines playing more doesn't seem like it would help VT in any way.
We're coming for the Wahoos in the non-revenue sports
I hope those Wahoos DROWN in their tears.
I'll see myself out.
A sweet victory indeed!
Hell yes. Go Hokies.
Not to get too far down the rabbit hole, but YOU do recall that last year's team was worse than Seth's final year, and this year's team is headed for a similar fate, right?
Is it just me or are there a lot of weirdly homoerotic sounding words in a VT men's swimming post?
Huge, spanked, UVA. It's all there.
Just kiddin'
Congrats on beating UVA in yet another sport.

# | VT Men's Swim Team beats UVA for first time in 33 years. Awesome news! I don't care if it's football, swimming, or underwater basket-weaving - any time we beat UVA it's a good day!

did someone from TKP post this? Not being accepted academically is different from flipping.
He better figure out a way to keep Chad Morris happy and beat FSU/USCe.
What do you mean "These people"? Haha, Just busting your chops. I was born, grew up, and have worked in the south my entire life except a few years that I was stationed in CO. People down here (AL) kill me when they say VA isn't the south. I guess they forgot where the capital of the confederacy was during the war of northern aggression.
You listed 11/32 teams. Most of them are relatively new. Half of them are located in one of 2 states (Fla, Tx). I think it's still a valid argument that most of the residents in the Southeast have nothing but college football in their lives. Culture is definitely part of it too though; People in the deep south LOVE their football more than anything and that just isn't the case in most of the rest of the country.
Where do we go to donate? I can see clearly now the rain is gone!
