It is kinda crazy that they end up needing to transfer after classes have started already
For players on the championship teams they get an additional 5 day window that started yesterday
I guess I missed it and don't understand the rules (does anyone?). Do playoff teams get an exemption from the portal dates? Like their players get to enter whenever their season ends? Just curious how Mendoza entered and goes to GT. Or people can only enter the portal while it's open and can commit whenever? Tried a quick google and didn't get much
Great info, thanks!
Don't diamonds come from Antwerp?
Cades Cove camping is boondocking only. You'll definitely get a bear visit in your camp.
When we go to Townsend we stay at either The Mountaineer Campground or Little Arrow. The KOA is nice also, but sites are tight. We've known the previous owners and new owners at The Mountaineer for a long time so we know what we get there.
Staying in town provides access to several good restaurants/breweries on the river and access to wherever around there. Cades Cove is a short drive up the mountain.
Note: We have seen bears every time we have gone to Townsend - we have never not seen one at least once somewhere on a trip there - even in our camp once. One drive in Cades Cove we saw 15 in a day.
Thank you all for the intel on St. Johns. We have decided against staying overnight, but may still go for a day trip. Already have a car rental (not a jeep) so won't be going to the beaches that are hard to reach, but probably will hang out on the east end for the day if we go. We will probably play this by ear while we are there.
Bad example, I am not sure anybody but Schiano ever wins at Rutgers.
I will second this. We are headed back to John for 10 days late February into early March (anniversary in early March). So many beaches and spots to explore or re-explore. This is Wifey's happy spot. We are staying on the east side overlooking Coral Bay this time. Previous visits we have stayed near Cruz Bay.
Gorgeous island with beautiful beaches and a great vibe. And yes you will need wheels, with my pick being a Jeep. Half the fun of the island is the ability to visit a different beach every day. If you like to sit in one spot and watch the waves from your beach rental (which we also do that on the MD, DE and FL beaches) this is not the spot for you. But if you are willing to get up early and head out early you can basically choose which beach you want to visit and secure a prime spot for the day every day.
Sorry last time I did that trip it was `89, I don't remember it being that long...
Yup. Third place team from the ACC was definitely better than both the SEC teams that they played in the playoffs.

# | The 2026 Hokie Hype Train is now boarding. Make sure to secure your seat before we depart! We had a stockpile of Hopium stored since September. It wasn't used during the regular season.
Why not us?
Because as an institution we don't have the stones to go all in to the level it takes to get over the top. Franklin will get us back close, but it will be up to us to make to make some, quite frankly, uncomfortable decisions to get us over the edge.
We'll need to stomach willing to buy players from other schools. We'll need to stomach paying backup players 6 figures just to keep depth. We'll need to stomach players not giving a shit academically and that being ok because they ain't on campus to play school. We need to be comfortable testing every legal boundary in recruiting and having a bunch of good capable lawyers on retainer to tell the authorities to fuck off if they ever threaten us.
The years of doing it the right way are over. What Indiana did is an aberration and will be looked back upon as a very odd and unique blip on college football in the big picture. But what we can't ignore is that the sport is wide open for anyone to come in and claim a title right now. There are no dominant programs. There are no juggernauts. You get into the dance you have a legit shot.
That response should have had the immediate effect of the NCAA banning him from playing again. Same as the player who tried to transfer to tech but failed because he hadn't actually been enrolled in classes at his old school despite playing on their team.
They do matter, what's important now is keeping them or bringing in more. Talent is talent, and despite Indiana's meteoric rise, the blue chip ratio does matter.
Was hoping we might keep the NCHS guy in the fold. Oh well, there's still Chanz Wiggins. #KG2VT
We are headed to the Smokies for spring break in late March - hope to find a spot at Cade's Cove but if not, where would you recommend in Townsend?
I know that the story of his father was reported on before the game, and they noted that they eye black tape he wore had letters forming an initialism in his father's memory. I can't remember what the letters or statement was, but it included his father's initials. I would guess the issue was known on the field.
Lot's of speculation, but if someone mocked my dead father it would be hard for me not to retaliate.
Hokietopher,
St John is worth the ferry ride but you need a jeep to get to the great beaches. The best ones are on the NE side of the island, Maho Bay lots of sea turtles , Cinnamon Bay , and Trunk Bay beaches. Great snorkeling at Trunk Bay with a underwater coral trail.

# | The 2026 Hokie Hype Train is now boarding. Make sure to secure your seat before we depart! We're using the dried hopium. So long as we don't dip into the seed hopium for the spring we'll be fine until fresh comes in.
Considering we did not have a P4 caliber tackle on the roster last year, I'd say this is good news.

Who knows? Maybe it was during the game.
We really just don't know.
My favorite of those for sleeping is Ghent, which is a college town, and you can daytrip to the other two. Bruges is good, but really touristy and a little pricier. Crowded on the weekends. I also love Brussels, but mostly if you're there on business and someone else is paying the tab.
We stayed in a house overlooking Corral Bay. Driving there is an adventure. That is from the road at the top of the mountain before heading down.
