lane was Lane last night and getting international publicity for having a crazy game day environment has to be a plus for recruiting.

LOL at ESPN AU/NZ apologizing for not having a trigger warning:

Going first on Friday and then kicking ass has its perks.

"Virginia claimed an upset win over North Caroline 17-10" made me die a little inside.

A decade on TKP and it's been time well spent.

I saw that but will allow it. They're halfway around the world and their toilets flush the wrong direction.

I'm not saying it's unforgivable. Just that it hurts.

This is actually pretty awesome to see how much attention Enter Sandman is getting here.

And it's easy to forget there are a lot of places around the world that are WAY more shut down than we are.

I used to be with it, but then they changed what it was. Now what I'm with isn't it, and what's it seems weird and scary to me.

Gotta keep that punter pipeline open

I can imagine no more rewarding a career. And any man who may be asked in this century what he did to make his life worthwhile, I think can respond with a good deal of pride and satisfaction:
“I served in the United States Navy"

You know we did something right last week when Deadspin singles our attendance out as problematic.

The woke/angry quote tweets and replies on the original ACCN Sandman tweet with over 11,000,000 views is PRIME entertainment.

I thought this quote from the article was funny:

Last September 26, the day of Virginia Tech's 2020 home opener, there were 975 new COVID cases reported statewide in Virginia, and the Hokies played in front of only 1,000 fans. Friday, with more than quadruple the fresh COVID caseload, they packed the house. How does any of this make any sense?

Wow, Deadspin. Very observant. It only took you 18 months to realize none of this makes any sense?

Good showing gents. Notice of Friday's Sandman entrance also made it to the heavy metal website Loudwire. So metalheads, Aussie footballers, and woke/angry tweeters so far. Not bad.

It's nice to feel relevant again nationwide (and internationally apparently).

I am the heartbeat of Blacksburg. A fortress built out of stone but made with champions.
