haha, they used mstrawther's version.
First Heather Dinich, then Bleacher Report. What next? TMZ?
I actually agree with a lot of the comments you made about the campus architecture. I think the mistake that was made is that it is really hard to combine Gothic with modern. So instead of intricate relief work you would see in traditional Gothic architecture like this:
We tried to modernize it and ended up with cheesy concrete panels like this:
To me, it's a bad Venturi rip-off
However, if anyone ever visits the campus with me, I make sure they walk into the main entrance of Burruss Hall.
Oh...back to the Hokie Stone on the scoreboard; I think it'd look best as part of the columns holding up the scoreboard.
chillllllllllllllllllllllllllllllssss
A thousand thousand turkey legs to you, good sir!
The fact she used that hashtag to promote the article shows she isn't one of us
"We held this one for number one for fear that after you see it you might try and run through a brick wall."

Just stumbled on it about 15 minutes ago, I was googling Enter Sandman because I was bored
I'm currently waiting on mine to come in, and it has dark Hokie stone. It looked really sweet when I tried it on.
Can't wait for Aug 31
This year 'Exit Light, Enter Night' wont make as much sense as it did on a Thursday..
well unless we sneak into a primetime saturday night game..
I was not an avid Tech fan until I enrolled. Before I had no real investment in the school, none of my relatives had graduated from Tech, and I had no reason to like them except that the people in my hometown liked them. If I had liked Tech then, that would make me a bandwagon fan. Liking them now makes me fervently proud of my alma mater.
This girl is not a bandwagon Tech fan. She is not a Tech fan at all.
You've only got 4 or 5 or 6 of these......... so you don't want to lose one of them.
But from what I could tell, this was never a bad thing for students.
For us young and young-at-heart adults, it really became a fairly significant PITA.
Which is part of this whole fallacy. Weaver has justified that some of us were tired of it and it's no big deal. But it's not like ESPN said, "Hey, ACC and Jim Weaver, we'd like to have you play UNC on a Thursday night in Blacksburg!" and Jim Weaver said, "Nope, we like our town quiet mid-week, thank you Mr. Exposure Machine."
But, back to your point, it's not like Jim Weaver said he'd love to have Duke (our 4th best game, seriously...) as our Thursday night game to ESPN. They tell him which game they want, and those options were UNC or nobody this year.
So, maybe to your point as well, being positive.........maybe Weaver did say no, that he wanted to keep UNC on a Saturday to get a primetime slot.
...when, following my analogy, they haven't had any other date in a year.
I have had two girlfriends in my life and haven't "dated" since before most of our current players were toddlers.
when you're comparing it to UVA's success at their spring game.
There you go using logic again.
Someone got what I was going for. Success!
I love that no matter the situation, "the number of fans at UVA's spring game" joke can be used.
I just thought it was funny because everyone seems to make a big deal out of the fact that he's black and was a cop. To be honest, I wouldn't be surprised if the fact that he's descended from Jefferson started being circulated to up his legitimacy/further convince certain individuals at LOLUVA that their school/program is in every way better than VT.
I didn't -1 you either (I have seriously only used that bottom maybe five times since it's conception, it def gets misused). The thing is, nobody said to have the scoreboard "cladded out in Hokie Stone." I said throw some up there and the picture that the key player responded with didn't even have a lot, so I'm unsure why your rant was focused on a scoreboard full of Hokie stone. Don't want to get into another key play argument like earlier in the week, just saying that nobody said to "clad it out in Hokie stone." I agree that a scoreboard full of Hokie stone would be too much.
There are some things I force myself not to look at or, at the very least, immediately remove them from my memory once I leave.
That's a good point. In my 4 years here (so far), I've had zero trouble getting excited about Thursday night games. I've been just as pumped for GT and UNC as for FSU. And as Joe said below, having our 3rd or 4th best game on Thursday would be pretty ideal. Having a good chance to win, as well as saving better games for a potential primetime matchup on Saturday, definitely makes those games a good fit for Thursday.
My point: I want people to be excited about Thursday night games and not take them for granted. Maybe this little break will help that happen.
someone complaining about people complaining about a person complaining...
Haha. I'm not complaining about it, for the record, just had to point it out!
