I can tell you from experience, watching a game with French (or spending time with him in general) is an experience. There will be laughter, yelling, spontaneous singing, references to every athlete of the 1980s, more spontaneous singing, creative cursing, and gagging if you mention cheese.

The guy who bought my farmhouse in Giles did just that. We had an old gas furnace for backup and mainly used a wood stove in that old house (1855, and all that that implies), and he took that out, put in a couple of heat pumps and an outdoor wood furnace and likely spent the first winter that house was ever warm upstairs and down. He owns 55 acres across the creek so he has lots of wood available and his furnace would accept all kinds and sizes of wood, so he could burn stuff I'd leave in the woods.

French is fun to hang out with, impossible to keep up with when it comes to Hokie stats, or baseball stats or...
He's also a consummate gentleman, polite and naturally friendly, and just as important, a really good fisherman! TKP Fishing Threads helped me meet some fine fellows, indeed, and it's been fun fishing and corresponding with all of them, but hopefully I'll get to fish with all again even when I leave the Bay.

I mean, he spent a lot of time at PSU recruiting VT's incoming class.

That should count for something.

It is rarified ground the "Been There".

We were there 25 years ago.Let's return.I think this is the first step.
Not sure how many steps it takes but, I'm sure of this one.

...we've got a guy who is willing to do what it takes to get us "there".

And as important, possibly more, he knows what it takes to get there because he's been there before.

What kind of package do you think the Canes would put together?

The other trade today was kind of funny when compared to the Hughes one:
Edmonton gets: G Triston Jarry, F Sam Poulin
Pittsburgh gets: G Stuart Skinner, D Brett Kulak, 2029 2nd round pick

Both teams may be banking on resurgences for the goalies, but it's kind of moving one trash heap to the other

Apparently I was the 6144th person to use Hokiealum at gmail. Nothing special.

Fair, but without knowing what his issue is, might as well just say there are a number of conditions that have compulsive sexual behavior as a symptom rather than listing a particular one. And by making that argument, it sounds like offering a justification, without even knowing if that's a symptom of whatever he has, so he might not have a justification other than poor decision making, or making his decisions with his little head.

Would not be shocked to see Elias Pettersson end up in Carolina. They kicked the tires on a trade previously and they really need a 2nd line center, and they have tons of pieces to provide in a trade.

I'm in! This is a fun pool. Keeps the entire 46 bowl sequence more interesting! (46!, Holy Crap!)
HokieAlum6144 (if its not too personal, what's the 6144 mean?), thanks for the quick setup for this year!
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all!
Let's Go Hokies!
We avoided the 2025 NCAA Div1 football coach craziness - It's NUTS!
Great Success!

Wild need to do something after the contract they gave Kaprisov.
