8:00 is not peak morning time. 7:57 AM is peak morning time when everyone who overslept is rushing to campus. By 8:00 AM, everyone has said "*#@%@ it, I'll go in for my 10:00 AM." Each of the simulated times seem to be a few hundred vehicles short, IMO.
Phenomenal Rendering and Video.
First time I have ever seen something graphically clear and logical produced by a team of Civil Engineers! (Warning! Sarcasm Font!)
Let's put it this way. We COULD root for Miami to lose to UVA this weekend, which would give us a chance at a win and you're in game next weekend. But screw that, I'd rather miss the title game than root for the Hoos. Go Tar Heels!
I can appreciate that sentiment. It's also why it's so easy for me to pull someone like Brandon Facyson, aspiring heart surgeon, co-lead the team with interceptions, and a starting cornerback? I don't think we hear that kind of athlete around the country anymore.
This has been in discussion for two or three years.
For more detailed info, I recommend going to VDOT's site. A friend of mine who is a traffic engineer (not for VDOT) confirmed to me about this project.

I just hope Frank keeps us on the right side of the spectrum. I have no fantasies about our program being Sir Galahad, but I hope we aren't going to the lengths of, say, UNC.
The theme for this weeks picks are in the immortal words of GW Bush, Fool me once shame on me, Fool me twice shame on... You can't fool me twice

Gophers I know nothing about this team, but I know they have burned me before
aTm I've heard that Johnny is good at Football
UCLA The burned me against Nebraska so I have to go with them now.
Mizzo Ole Miss is still a year away

After making these picks I realize that I don't know nearly enough about college football this year. VT losing makes me not want to watch other games. That is frustrating.
I had to stop reading it half way through. It was so sickening. Discussed this with a fellow Hokie fan and he said, "You know if this happens at Florida State, it has to happen at places like Alabama and LSU..."
Good to hear. I'm still waiting on Dave's response to see if athletics will work on my teachers too

As an athletics tutor, I can't say that I've experienced anything this extreme (as far as academics go) since they hired me, but then again, I'm a geology tutor. I'm sure that there's more than meets the eye for some of the more core subjects.
College football is only pretty on the field anymore, it seems.

Yeah, my bad. I was still just looking at it as overall percentages and broke it up into the only scenarios that really matter for us.
That's seems kinda funny and it does make me snicker, but after, I dunno, about 3 mos, I'd kinda wanna punch him.
My coworker - similar situation. I arrive at 7:45 every morning, take a 15 minute lunch while working, leave at 5-5:30 every day. She comes in at 9:30, takes 1-1.5 hours out to lunch every day, leaves at 5p and calls me out if I leave at 5 with her...
WTF?
Put the TKP logo on it and make it an official offer letter, maybe some think paper, a hint of bourbon splash across the paper... make it special.
Here's one of my favorites when I used to work in an office -
I usually arrived at work at 7am, ate lunch at my desk, and was ready to leave by 5pm.
My co-worker (who arrived at 9am, took an hour lunch, spent the afternoon talking about his favorite totally obscure hobbies) saw me leaving every day and liked to state rather loudly, "Oh, leaving early?"
Every. Single. Freakin'. Day.
Send it to 30 Rock Studios.

Burned bag of popcorn.....
I was on a redeye flight from Vegas to Charlotte 2 years ago on a Sunday night- I was stuck between two large men. One of which woke me up in the middle of the 3 hour flight with the stench of indian food. it was the worse smell i've ever encountered.
No sleep from Vegas to CLT, got in my car at 6am EST, made my 9AM meeting in Blacksburg. It was so awesome.
CANT WE ALL JUST...GET ALONG?!
PS this is like... a cake or pieception (pie within a cake)
Another annoying thing that people do is when they go to the breakroom to use the microwave and heat up that bag of frozen veggies or reheat that leftover fish, asparagus, or especially leftover indian (curry) food for lunch. Wtf? That sh-t carries throughout the entire floor. Hey...I bet that's what's giving so many of them the phantom shits.
YAY FOR INTELLIGENT INTERNET CONVERSATIONS!!!
Shouldn't effect traffic during game days at all since it's being built offline of existing roads. This project is also why the farm relocated/is relocating.
I do heavy civil construction for a living, trying to convince my company to bid on this job. Spending a year in Blacksburg for work would be the tits.
