I have one of those too! I was wearing it at a party and no other than RMFW pops in the door, sees me and says "I like that shirt!" and daps me up. I felt like a boss.
FOOOOOORD
bravo!
Sergio Render anybody???
Rock: This is absolutely brilliant. It should be etched into the Commonwealth Cup and launched with the next deep-space probe along with a few of the finer bourbon recipes.
As I understand it, the coaches signed him after a pretty fun expedition up north.
I hope Ford can speed up the tempo of the offense and escort us back to a BCS bowl (maybe the Fiesta). It's gonna take a lot of focus, but I think he just may give us the edge we need.
I think Peterson took Boise State as far as they could go. He did an incredible job at BSU, starting from the '07 Fiesta Bowl until now...with them going 8-4 this year, I think this is the best time for him to leave.
Yes, if he want to be head football coach. I don't think he will or should move from his current position to head coach of VT. So, as far as a head football coaching career is concerned he would have to make a move.
Shoot, I think Oregon State could pass Oregon in the next few years.
Absolutely Hilarious!
Agreed - if you can't keep your team motivated for the Rose Bowl, you've got some problems...
The "douchiness" destroys everything else. Elitist snobs who care nothing for Football, not to mention most other sports, are the bane of hooville's existence. When your peeps are preening losers who care more about image than substance, your "college town" is a lame excuse for what a real university/town partnership ought to look like. Give me Blacksburg and its chilly winters/warm friends every day of the year.
Shenanigans - Daenerys Targaryen is clearly the rightful heir.
That would be like Christmas and my birthday all wrapped up in one.
He was my hope, too. Especially because he would probably bring his AD (JohnCurrie) with him. Big time fundraiser.
Oh no, I agree wholly. It's just... They're going to call that a marquee win? Eeking one out against a mediocre team?
I was rooting for Kirk Schulz (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kirk_Schulz) because of his ties to the school/area but I like that we are going out of the VT family. Shows we really went after the best candidate, not just the best candidate, who happens to be a Hokie.
GO ENGINEERING
I think to a large extent it's irrelevant to say one college town is a better town than the other. Speaking from experience, try bringing your wife or gf back to Blacksburg 15 years removed from the party scene etc, and although they respect your experience and feelings about our beloved school, the bottom line is it's hard to fully understand or see what the fuss is all about through the lens of an adult with different values and interests at this point in their life.
They don't have the memories that we have burned into our brain of Blacksburg PERFECTLY satisfying our every need at that point in our lives. Realistically our experience might be different later in life if we were writing a silly review or ranking, which in my mind totally invalidates the whole exercise.
The only ranking that matters with regards to this subject, imo, is this:
The College with the Most Satisfied Students? Virginia Tech
Check the date - August 2013 haters..
No written sources published yet I believe. I can't say where I got him from but I trust the source. I guess take it as 90% certain.
Anyone else see an issue with the fact that the first item on the "What To Do" list is "Streaking"?
This hire excites me on a lot of levels. I'm interested to hear more about her [outside of her wikipedia page] and what her vision is for the University.
Interesting.
Strong engineering background-was Pres. of IEEE, Dean of Engineering at Purdue.
(Purdue has a great national/world rep in engineering/research)
There has been a little attrition at Purdue-wondering what's up there?
Could be a great thing.
IMHO, we need someone to help with branding, fund-raising, externals, etc.
She could be a good choice for this.
I wonder to what extent she will be involved with new AD pick?
Chris Shreve actually. Walk-on from Grayson County of all places. I remember he caught two touchdown passes against Rutgers in 03. I remember one article said he was the third fastest player on the team behind Marcus Vick and Deangelo Hall.
Given that name, ARE you Sergio Render?
