Solution: Stop going to OSU games. Start going to VT games.
You're welcome.
especially when the beavers play dirty...
haha i always get a good laugh when the trojans play the beavers...
It's UC Santa Cruz, BTW.
The murderers version of #ALLMAROOMEVERYTHING IS a signature look.

I love how they want to maximize intimidation. Looks nice.
All of this can be remedied by simply bringing back "Stick It In."
It's actually Kevin Newsome.
we arent goin for shai anymore i believe. I think Minor is the one with grade issues? Correct me if im wrong
At first I thought you misspelled Curt Newsome and I wondered why on earth is there a forum topic about Curt Newsome
With Cameron Philips and Brady Taylor committing, we're now at 16 commits listed on 247 sports along with kicker Michael Santamaria who committed, but isn't listed (Preferred Walk-On?) Adding in Holland Fisher and DJ Reid, Braxton Pfaff is Grey Shirting (thouhg I'm not sure how that'll affect the 2014 class) but we would have between 18 and 20 of our 2014 slots filled assuming no grey shirts and/or non-qualifiers that get bumped to 2015 class.
Given that we have 5 to 7 spots left which positions/players would you guys have as our priorities for the rest of the year. I added Lamont Simmons to the players above since 247 VT as the only "Warmer" school and their crystal ball predicts him our way.
My recruit list would be prioritized as follows:
1.) Derrick Nandi (DT) (94)
2.) Ricky Walker (DT) (90)
3.) Brandon Lee (LB) (90) OR
3.) Raymon Minor (LB) (90)
5.) Noah Brown (WR) (92) OR
5.) Ryan Izzo (TE) (90)
7.) Shai McKenzie (RB) (92)
8.) Lamont Simmons (DB) (87)
9.) Greg Stroman (DB) (82)
10.) Jay Payton (LB) (NR)
*247 Rating listed with players
My reasoning:
1 & 2: DTs are the biggest need remaining in my opinion, probably a little bit of wanting to make up for missing on other big DL recruits this cycle.
3 & 3: We haven't brought in any LBs yet this cycle and there are still 2 highly regarded recruits that we have a good shot at.
5 & 5: Mainly here because I feel like the later listed players don't fill as big of a team need
7: With DJ Reid and Marshawn Williams already in the 2014 class, RB isn't as big of a concern to with dwindling scholarships available.
8 & 9: If Players are slotted the way Andy Bitter has them listed on his Cameron Philips blog post, we have 5 DBs in the class already (including Holland Fisher) and there's a good chance Travon McMillian also ends up in the secondary.
10.) Mostly a combination of no rating (I'm not the great talent evaluator that French et al are), Lee and Minor being highly rated, and VT being listed as his Favorite, implying that if we have a spot available he'll take it.
M-m-m-m-m-m-momma says..... the Florida Gators????

There's also 40K more people on campus there compared to here
If I go to a game at the Shoe maybe I want to watch the hokies at the same time or at least check the score.
This is a bigger problem at OSU. You can't make a phone call on that side of campus on gameday
Glorious news. Well done coach moorehead
I would guess that several schools that have variations on cattle sell burgers (Texas, USF, etc)
I like the subtle dig at Rutgers.
Letting the cat out of the bag here, but the Imperial March will be making a comeback. It's what we intend to play when the Corps marches to the stadium.
to each his own but thats nuts
that frank is an ol' snake in the grass
There's only two times for pictures during a game: before kickoff with friends, and the obligatory scoreboard shot after the clock hits 00:00 and we've vanquished our foe.
oregon was gonna fire kelly?
You hit the nail on the head. Depending the type of network (GSM, CDMA, etc.), the towers can only process/handle so many users and transmissions. From my knowledge, CDMA seems to be the stronger and higher-bandwidth supporting model, and for some reason, the signals can penetrate into Hokie stone better (my personal experience). So Verizon users always seem to have better service than people belonging to most other carriers.
There's a ton of cool technology just starting to hit the market and more in development to make this all a moot point though. Internet for everyone!

Shai McKenzie said Blacksburg was too country for him. We won't be signing him.
