I don't have much info on Lot 16.

I haven't used VT campus parking for many years. I do believe you have to give at a certain level to qualify to select one of those RV sites in Lot 16, and those sites are limited. VT does have some first come, first served RV sites over by the golf course and some over flow parking in a gravel lot next to the airport. At least they did in 2025. Presumably, they will in 2026. The airport itself has a field where it parks RV's. That's where I park. However, the airport hasn't sent out any info for 2026 yet. It will probably come out between the middle and end of July. The problem with the airport lot is anyone who purchased a pass in 2025 gets first refusal for 2026. There is a dearth of RV parking around VT and Blacksburg and it's not going to get better. Truth be known, VT doesn't like RV's and would be happy if they all just disappeared.

She is the entire package.

Hits for average. Hits for power. Can bint. Can steal bases. What's not to like.

Can't the same be said concerning a huge pile of tick larvae.

Aren't you interfering with mother nature if you destroy a nest of young ticks?

Nothing. I'm just trying to get through my retirement years ...

... doing what we want and not being a burden on anyone. I don't have enough burnable cash to double my giving. It's possible I could be convinced to increase some.

More spinoff trivia.

Which country gave the first formal salute to a Continental warship? Recognizing the Colonies as a sovereign country?

I tend to be football centric. That said ...

... 1) After the decisions are made vis a vis division of funds between all the sports, then those funds should be spent that way. No reneging on money promised. Also, even though I tend to be football centric, it doesn't mean I want to throttle all other sports.

Do you believe the administration should promise x dollars, but then ...

... renege on the promised amount? There can be honest disagreements and discussions on how the budget is divided between the different sports. IMO, there can not be, or at least should not be, any disagreement on how bad it is to renege on the promised amount of money to any sport.

Just what the doctor ordered.

The screen was split and game on one side and a Viagra substitute tablet was being advertised.

That had to be an ACE #1 idiot batting coach she had last year.

There is no way AUSL pitchers could shut Cori down. He/She/It must have screwed around with her batting.

My question. Why would a reserve catcher enter the portal, when the ....

.... starter graduated? She must have issues with her coach, maybe? She's coming to a team with a returning catcher.

Question about Verizon Internet.

Does anyone have Verizon Internet? I got an offer for Verizon Internet for a locked price of $55/mo, priced locked for 4 years. Down load speeds of Up To 25 Mbps for 1st 200 GB, and the Up To 10 Mbps for the balance of the billing month. Unlimited data = After 200 GB, customer will receive lowered speeds for remainder of billing month. Package also includes a router & whole house Wi-Fi. Do the speeds sound reasonable? I only use the internet for browsing sites, like TSL. I will sometimes up load or down load family pictures, or attach pictures to a TSL post. I do no gaming or work. Also, I currently only have 1 TV attached to my Comcast Cable.

I can understand not being happy in a 'Cheater uni.

I know I'd be miserable if I had to wear one of those hideous uni's.

I sort of agree.

The two prices certainly close when all the various streaming services are added. My Comcast is a little high, but I have one of the top internet packages. It's probably much more than I actually need.

Could you tell me about what your internet service + all your ...

... streaming services cost? I'd like to compare that to what I currently pay for cable and internet.

That's a scum bag judge.

There is nothing in the NCAA rule book that can be construed as unfair to the player WRT betting, unlike NIL or profit sharing.

I'll not go that far, but it does have a good feel to it.

Even during the best of times, I didn't follow recruiting that much. Largely due to the fact that it'd take a couple of years for the new recruits to have much of an impact. Recruiting has peaked my interest this year simply because it's been a long time since VT has claimed any victory that got national attention.

IMO, there will be not negative repercussions for ...

... folks on a mission or someone who goes in the service and then want to play sports. NCAA would lose a court case so fast if they ruled either of those athletes out of eligibility.
