Most overrated retail ever. Mostly garbage, and there's really not that
much stuff. If you pay attention, you will realize there is a jerky display everywhere in the store. Same goes with everything else they sell.
These stores are nothing more than the old school Stuckeys, just way the hell bigger. As a matter of fact, it's basically just 20 Stuckeys stores put into one location đ¤Ŗ

USAA is learning the patriotism card only can be played so often.
At some point, you have to do something, provide a solid product.
Besides, I've never seen it be competitive on the price, ever, and it gets a chance every time we've looked at new coverage.

Not joking, there were years I had a Mercedes in Blacksburg that ALWAYS
had the keys in it, at home, at work, at PK's, probably even Lot 5 Chicken Hill.
It was my early version of keyless entry đ¤Ŗ

No argument here. Just switched back to a real man's car six months ago
after some years of lazy driving. I'm more alert and aware behind the wheel, and do feel mentally better after the effort.

In college athletics, there is definitely an old boy network that is
hard to break into. A great example are some of the most inept head coaches seemingly able to land on their feet anywhere they want to, or some of the most crooked able to glide in for a smooth landing.
Now, that being said, we could be getting stuck with a bill of goods just because of who he is, but it looks like he's got a good track record.

I'll save you some time. You don't need to look at any other year.
It's the exception, not the rule, that the top players from Virginia actually ever turn out to be the top players from Virginia.

Why don't you throw in your WSJ password while you're at it.

Don't be fooled, gifts that large are usually not instant cash, either.
It's usually pledged over a period of time, and sometimes it doesn't include the most liquid of assets.
Have heard a couple of stories in the past about a couple of the Pamplin's major donations. Many times those type gifts don't realize the "publicity" amount, and in some it takes years to realize it as expendable cash.

He doesn't align with her party. Immediate removal is a surprise.
The simple fact he wouldn't be reappointed should have been no shock to anyone.

At least he accomplished one thing. He saw this coming. And we have no sand

Nah, Hildalgo got her typical special treatment. Drew some phantoms, got
her slaps, I mean steals, about anyone else fouls out or sits a long time.

Obviously he wasn't smart enough to get into Duke to begin with.
And certainly his attorneys didn't go to Duke. Contract law is pretty straightforward.

And this is what is wrong. No contract, no motivation, lousy play. At some
point, the money is going to wake up and walk away. Not just here, either.
I doubt anyone at the U will praise the cost/benefit of Carson Beck either.
Stupid money chasing hopeless results.

Blind hog finds an acorn. That's about all boils down to. Don't beat VT
up for hiring Pry, and don't get too high and mighty on Virginia Tech because of James Franklin.
I thought the timing of our firing was pretty stupid at the time, but it turned out to be solid gold. And PSU was really stupid, as well, we're going to come out smelling like roses hopefully.
I'm just thankful a smarter head, or heads, prevailed than have in the past two attempts.
Now, if we can hit a home run with an AD hire, and we need a new one, then we're talking and can pound our chests some.

Actually, it's YTTV wanting to mark things up too much. Besides, a very
large chunk of those YTTV channels are free on many, many other apps.
Screw them. Hope it fades fast.

Absolutely. If you don't get out and watch this team in person, you might

I just have a problem with people that speak in absolutes. And saying 100%
is speaking an absolutes. Never mind I'm a little sensitive about this. See, my own kid when he was about five, and his friend hid behind my car in my driveway, and I damn near ran over them. Did I see them? **** no I didn't, they were hiding behind my car in my driveway. Would it have been my fault had I hit them? In your world absolutely, because I 100% did not see them, they were stationary, and had I not not heard them giggling, I could have killed both of them. Hell, I went for a good two years doing a full walk around my car every time I went out. Damn, I knew there was a reason I stopped reading any of the **** on this board, it's because most of y'all are worthless at having a discussion with.

Your words. If you hit a stationary object it's 100% your fault.
Just remember that the next time, that's all.

Next time you run over something that you never saw, like a nail, and blow
a tire, just remember, it was all YOUR fault.

Meh, I would call you on that. I know a lot of people who have done that.
Personally, I haven't done it, but I've had it happen to me, and part of it was my fault.
How many times have you jumped in your car to back out of your own driveway and didn't turn and look around? More times than you would care to admit I'm sure. That's how it happened to me. I parked behind a family member in a spot that I don't normally park, and got my butt hit. My dad backed right into my car!

Personally, it sounds like mostly bad luck, but there's a fine line between
totally wrecking their confidence, and trying to get a point across. I don't think you look at it as a punishment. Maybe you have them work and pay the deductible, or something like that, but I wouldn't come down in a way that was considered or would look punitive. I've had friends in that same boat. They just had an unlucky kid when it came to driving early on.

Between the Sanders brothers and the Imaleava clowns, things might get a

That was exactly the section that got done that way. We twisted the house
and it has been perfect ever since.

I did a section once to get moss and mold that was building up in a spot.
But it definitely looked different after I was finished, but otherwise I don't see a reason. If it doesn't look any different, somebody probably has a bad case of OCD.
