They are not a fun ride for passengers. The passenger compartment is backwards so you are facing the tail of the plane in your seat. Makes it really uncomfortable on takeoff and landing due to the physics on your body.
IIRC, French really liked Hamilton.
Let's get all the beef.
Good Lord, what a difference five weeks can make.
Good, he could be legit. Basketball player to tight end pipeline.
I think he retroactively just did and now we lost the Cal game.../s
Per 24/7 he has reaffirmed his commitment to the Hokies under Franklin
Another reaffirmation in 6-foot-6 inch, 225-pound Isaiah Pina. #Hokies look to build out their tight end pool this cycle after not taking a commitment in three cycles. https://t.co/6Q9w5vQLfo— Matej Sis (@MatejS247) December 2, 2025
I'm at the doctor's right now
I was pleasantly surprised at that comment. Also read it as shade towards another school(s) that didn't come prepared to their conversation with a plan (Arkansas?).
Looks likely - also he is one of the lowest rated OL we have now which is crazy... Curious to hear which ones french likew the best
Back when I taught I had a student named Tequila. Only other I can think of know was when one of my wife's friends Sandy married into the last name Sandals.
Adrian Hamilton announcing something at 3PM today. Likely a flip to Michigan
Flipped to Michigan

Kirby is lucky he didn't come here then. We were in no shape to have an elite coach here, it would have been completely wasted with an admin who didn't care to compete
Back when Kirby Smart wanted to come to VT, we were playing the long game, holding out for Franklin
From what he said immediately after the hiring, it looks like VT was already making those moves before they spoke to him and it went a long way is his deciding to come here.
The ref from the Cal game would've called roughing the passer
I would imagine if Franklin came in following Fuente who did some damage to the local area in reputation results might not be the way they are after all the work Pry did to repair what Fuente did. I have absolutely zero sauces to back this up its just my own gut feel that while Pry didnt get us where we wanted to go, in the end he still was a necessary bridge to help us along the way.
I am sure Franklin made it very clear what VT needs to do with resources, facilities, staffing, NIL, you name it, and he emphasized to "get ready" as he knew he was going to blow the barn doors off with recruiting. He said, "don't you worry about the recruits. I got those, but if you want them to keep coming Y/Y VT must do A,B,&C.
I can see him telling VT, "I'm meeting my end, now best get busy meeting yours".
I think the combo of new croots, a new coach for the OL, and a new QB that doesn't need 5 seconds to find an open receiver will all combine for massive improvements next year.
Just proving that VT absolutely can swing big nuts like the big dogs in recruiting with the right guys and resources in place
In the span of 2 weeks, Franklin is proving the potential to be even greater than even I thought it could be, and I've long been bullish on our potential
The sleeping giant has awoken
ACC refs would have thrown the flag for a block in the back at the 2 yard line :-)
Interesting that the ODU QB, Colton Joseph, is going to enter the portal. Think we'll be in on him?
That and bringing back Stick It In
Good to hear from you 'nator. I've thought of you every time I go by your folk's house on the East. You've missed nothing this season in the local waters. Last year was pretty good and the trout should rebound well next year, so you should be getting fish around your dock worth messing with. My best to your family.
I am oddly invested in penn state missing on coaches
