LFGOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

Driving over the mountain from Harrisonburg. Easy peazy! :)

Life is so much better waking up to a huge Hokie Softball WIN against the

hoohas!!! Any W against them makes life better. WIN the Semifinal, Ladies!! LET'S GOOOOOOOO!!!!

Another reason I'll just hold what I got

I'm thinking about moving out of Virginia next year.....Had contemplated moving to Blacksburg, but now holding on that and may move completely out. Sigh...

Yah, I'm leaning heavily this way. I LOVE not having a huge car payment.

And I haven't had one in a loooong time! The thought of paying 1K a month for a new vehicle, any vehicle for that matter, makes me ill.

Ford Bronco Badlands. Any opinions?

My Honda Ridgeline is 18 years old, 170K. I'm either riding her until 20 and 200K or scratching the itch for a new ride. I'm intrigued with the Bronco, but love Jeep Grand Cherokee and Hondas having owned both. Torn and doing research. Thoughts from the TSL masses? Me likey this one

Maybe this lights the ladies' fire, makes them angry for a big run. Needed

after the GT letdown. IF, big IF, they win the ACCT (along with finishing out regular season), how does or would that help in WCWS seeding?

Fantastic! To be clear, I was not slighting CJF in my OP, but rather

pointing out I think Franklin "Gets It". So many great lessons in the simple act of kindness and bringing Arthur over to FB practice! The AD and Ath Dept should take note.

Well he's already latched on to Arthur! So he must know something. Saw a

video clip of him introducing Arthur to the FB team at a practice and had Arthur lead them in a Let's Go Hokies cheer. Franklin might as well be the FB Head Coach AND AD for all intents and purposes.

It's time for @VT Chip and us fans to start fundraising for a better TSP

VT sure as hell doesn't seem capable of the vision required or foresight. Our program has deserved stadium improvements for many years now. I've already shown what hoova, Liberty, did years ago. Meanwhile we operate out of shipping container press boxes and bringing in aluminum HS bleachers when or if hosting. Does this not bother the AD or ANYBODY in VT leadership???? I mean, if I'm the AD, I'm looking at what our peer conference members have, looking at videos and plans the "enemy" is working on and comparing contrasting to our own house. Then doing gap analysis to determine funding, getting the funding, and planning to close gaps if not leap forward. I don't get it. ** Edited by 91HokieBob at 4/16/2026, 9:34:17 AM

I'll leave this one here like I did below for UVA. Posted 3 Years Ago. LU

built there cathedral for "only" $9M at the time and in FOUR months!!! TSP would be the best 10-20M investment for VT Athletics as far as facilities goes.

I'll just leave this here. I posted this in 2023. 3 YEARS AGO! The VT AD

needs to GO!!!! He's a lame duck. Good riddance. Just some, any, just a LITTLE TINY bit of vision from the AD, Ath Dept, and Administration would go a LONG way.

VT STILL approaches athletics like a Mom & Pop Store in a Wall Street shark

infested environment. It's really REALLY pathetic if we're all honest with each other here on TSL and on the Drill Field. It's NEVER gonna change until the entire Ath Dept starting with Whit Babcock is restructured, reorganized, rebranded, redone and Babs is GONE. Period. The End. There is ZERO.....ZERO Unity of Effort in VT Athletics. None.

Add cost savings and IIRC, they claimed the overall "Green" design of the

structure with its windows would provide enough solar or thermal heating and the raised garage doors and high ceiling would provide cooling during hot weather. LMAO. ** Edited by 91HokieBob at 3/24/2026, 11:14:22 AM ** Edited by 91HokieBob at 3/24/2026, 11:32:48 AM

Maybe consider something with a tunnel that supports the road and traffic.

We build tunnels under the Chesapeake. Or a structure that includes a tunnel to support the access road. Just sayin. ORRRRRR....maybe a design smaller where it doesn't encroach upon the road. Orrrr...maybe just some cosmetic work, Hokiestone or precaste concrete facades around the bleachers to make it look oh let's say less ghetto or high school? IDK, but lots of ideas and options to consider. ** Edited by 91HokieBob at 3/19/2026, 4:34:03 PM

Response to bourbonstreet about our AD. BSt characterizes Whit as "Blue"

Give me some RED! I want RED for the next AD. :) Somebody with some GUTS, some hutzpah, some "IT" factor, somebody with Big Cajones @AirborneHokie96 LOL I couldn't resist after seeing your post about large cajones LOL!
