Couldn't figure out where else to put this, but Instagram has been serving me up some college football merch, thought some of you might like this for your home/tailgate setup:
Ol' Ricky thinks the elevators at ODU's stadium work great, he thinks a 15 minute wait is normal
The season kicked off a bit predictably as Notre Dame obliterated Navy in the early game from Ireland.
Nothing as compelling filling up the PM, but at least the games are close for the most part. (I almost wrote "watchable", but I can't find the USC game on YouTube TV with their sports upgrade package).
Jason Brown, who got beat out for our QB1 by Grant Wells last season is absolutely going off in the Jackson State/ SC State game.
Thought I'd start a thread just to get in the practice of it.
Sort of buried in yesterday's Prysser was news that long time starting tight end Nick Gallo will miss the first week and perhaps longer of the season. What changes will that bring to the Hokies offense?
#Hokies coach Brent Pry announces on the Triumph NIL livestream that Grant Wells will start at quarterback in the Sept. 2 season opener against ODU.Notes Bob Schick will start at right guard with Xavier Chaplin (LT), Braelin Moore (LG), Kaden Moore (C), Parker Clements (RT).β Damien Sordelett (@DamienSordelett) August 23, 2023
Normally this time of year, I am looking to preview the Hokies season opener opponent. Unfortunately, the Old Dominion team that will visit Lane Stadium in a couple of weeks is so radically different from last season, it will be a bit of a mystery for how the Monarchs will look Labor Day weekend.
MOORESVILLE, N.C. (QUEEN CITY NEWS) β One person has been killed and another injured in an apparent explosion that leveled a home overnight in Mooresville, just off Lake Norman, according to Director of Fire Services and Emergency Management for Iredell Kent Greene.
Authorities confirm with Queen City News that both victims were male. Their identities are being withheld at this time, pending family notification.
The injured person, who was seen exiting the property as the first emergency crews arrived at the scene, was transported to Atrium Health CMC with non-life-threatening injuries, Greene said.
The deceased person was recovered as crews were searching the debris.
Scrimmage day y'all. We're so close.

First thing that gets called out is a poor relationship between Ballein and Fuente.
I hope this justifies a new thread. Politicians....guess it was bound to happen.
Condoleezza Rice, George W. Bush Push for Stanford, SMU to ACC
My thoughts:
The B12 beat us to the punch on the most practical expansion candidates. Adding only 2 Western schools to the ACC is ridiculous. I see only one chance that ACC expansion could work, ASSUMING it would force a new TV contract:
What does everyone think about the AP Top 25?
I was surprised that there were 4 ACC Schools* in with FSU and Clemson at 9 and 10. *Notre Dame is at 13 and North Carolina at 21.
Kind of interesting how many PAC-12 schools are in with how they are disintegrating. They have 5 in.
Otherwise kind of business as usual.
This was from 8/11, so a lot of these tidbits have already circulated the medias. Here are my takeaways:
VT is currently in 2nd place in the 2023 USA Today poll for best college sports Tradition.
No way we should be losing to University of Wisconsin-Madison for 'Jump Around'. Vote once per day until polls close on Monday, August 21 at noon ET.

Texas-A&M-NIL-shutdown-by-IRS
The decision to shut down the 12th Man+ Fund came after the IRS released a memo on June 9, which told NIL collectives their function doesn't fit within the confines of tax-exempt status. The 12th Man+ Fund attempted to reward donors with athletic department points and tax benefits in exchange for donations to provide NIL compensation to athletes.
