the ACC decided you don't need to see the ball to overturn a call
not exactly indisputable video evidence, but ACC Charlotte had other priorities

Whit if you're going to post on here, I recommend you don't use the name
"fordham" it'll make people think that the Fordham Rams will be your next AD assignment. I kid I kid

but he will retire soon, so his flopping legacy must live on!
so the award you propose seems an appropriate award!

the NBA at the all star break has the slam dunk contest, soccer could
have the best writhing in pain on the ground due to "injury" contest.

and that's the way soccer fans seem to like it
I get why they like it that way though

that would get really annoying, even with offsides
in basketball, there'd be enough scoring that the announcer would be yelling GOOOOALLL every minute. No thank you.

I can't see how many of the fans of each respective sport would like what
is outlined for their respective sport.

adding to your comment, and if the money was there.
Not enough money, we don't land CJF, NIL really increased the importance of money. I realize we may not have "always thought" as NIL is relatively new, but funding has always mattered, it just matters significantly more with NIL.

I don't think PB is in the "QB room" in 2026
2027 yes, and we'll see and hope Grunk and Bryce B are still there. I think Grunk will be, BB not as certain.
And Troy Huhn is in the room, not Elite 11 but not too far off from it. I believe he was an Elite 11 finalist but didn't make the 11.
A seriously upgraded room indeed

I believe Sarah was his daughter's name
I'd guess he's understanding when there is a misunderstanding though.

you will be able to find parking downtown when you get there
there are office tower parking lots and surface lots that can house tens of thousands of people, they do it every day. The Spectrum Center only has about 20K capacity. So you can just show up and find a lot, no problem. I've done it for the sad Charlotte Hornets who play at the Spectrum Center. Its just a matter of pricing and how far you want to walk.
I'd consider just ubering in from Davidson and with three occupants (the driver, you and your daughter) if they have an NC Quickpass (which many uber drivers do), using the HOV/toll lanes on I77 are free and you get there pretty quickly (30 minutes). If you didn't have 3 riders in the car, you can use the toll lanes for a dynamic pricing cost, but with 3 occupants, if the driver has the quickpass the toll lanes are free with 3 riders in the car.
Oh, the merch thing, it's a big deal for the young ladies these days, or so my youngest daughter has fooled me into believing. :) When we were young, we were so much less merch consumers than the youngins are today. We didn't even use the term "merch"

well Tusla pulled a VT on that last inbounds, does that count?
how a TO wasn't called there was absolutely VTish, so we were sort of there in spirit
For those of you not watching, Tulsa was up by 3 with 8 seconds left and got a five second call on the inbounds and had two TOs left. And of course AU hits a 3 to send it to OT

basketball also needs significant facility upgrades to compete
at the level I think you are asking for, that's what I meant

another option, get the football money machine going
and then more fully fund basketball as soon as possible. Not sure I see how VT basketball can generate the money it takes without some help first. Been defunded so long.

do you think young gets called for a T if Bedford doesn't grab the jersey?
I doubt it, it would have gone unnoticed

the low hand did touch the UNC guy, not sure I'd call it a push
pretty close to a touch foul, which we are not getting
