He mentions that as a football player, his "hourly wage" was estimated to be $34.12.

In pure spending money (no food/rent/etc), he estimated roughly 12$ a day just for being a football player.

Classic quote from 11W

Gotta hand it to poster HUNTINWABBITS, who had this to say about Erika:

As per usual in Miami, Florida, all the talk about Hurricanes is much ado about nothing as they never show up.

Win or lose, at least we can all agree to hate on da U!

VT Circa 1992

So today I was thinking to myself about Mike London and trying to figure out how he's still around. My hypothesis was that maybe UVA is holding on to him in hopes that they can replicate Frank Beamer's career where he struggled early but eventually transformed his team into a perennial powerhouse. London is going into his 6th season as UVA's head football coach so I looked up how Beamer did in his 6th season at VT:

A couple things popped out at me.

EDSBS's Analysis of the Fine System

The people of Every Day Should Be Saturday have come with their hot take on this fine system:

MISSING BOOKS/COMPUTER

Hang on, you get fined $15 if you don't have your laptop charger? What if you have a laptop that can go like 7-8 hours on battery? What if it's a pain in the ass to crawl underneath your desk to unplug the charger because you're, say, a gigantic ass human being that plays major college football? Of all the fines on this list, this one irks me the most. WHAT IF THEY HAVE A NEW MACBOOK, YOU CRETINS!

Worth a read if you want to see someone giving the right amount of attention to VT's now defunct fine system.

Well, is it Fall yet? Momma says, well, yes.

Some of us who spend a lot of time outdoors have speculated about when we first notice the turn of the season. While the other seasons trumpet their arrival, Fall has always been a bit more subtle. A slight difference in the way the sun comes through the window, or shines or sets on the river...a noticeable change in the coolness of the morning, the ripening or demise of plants we see every day. Today, my wife of more than 42 years called it. She looked at me and said, "Hey, it's Hokie time, isn't it?" I'd been restless, distracted, spending way more time on TKP than usual, and she noticed.

EJ Manuel to start 3rd Bills Preseason game

EJ Manuel to start 3rd Bills Preseason game

Yep, just when it looked like Tyrod was about to run away with this competition.

Hopefully, this is just Rex giving every QB a legitimate chance, and not a sign of what's to come this year. Either way, it can't look too good for Tyrod right now.

OT: Sports Business Club

Just wanted to let current students know about a great opportunity for sports fans on campus. I'm the President of Virginia Tech's Sports Business Club and we've worked hard to secure to some big speakers for this semester such as Whit Babcock and Shane Beamer. I've posted our schedule below and feel free to find us on Facebook. Also thought former Hokies would be interested to know that there's a club dedicated to sports on campus now.
